She called it, a moving screen, you can't do it, period. I listened to post game with Caitlin and Hannah and now Gabby. Three great young ladies. They just came back and won the second bigget game of the year, no cocky talk, no bragging,, all talking about the team. That's the way true winners act. I am now a fan. Way to go coach.
I watched edwards picks the whole game....she was crushing marshall w bows taken out and she put them down for a couple then back up....the last one was a REALLY sloppy moving pick w bow and heavy lean....had to call it
@@dee65cee53 Ok Mr Deed, Iowa, LSU, all your smart bb people were blaming coach for HVL going behind the pick instead of in Clarks pocket. Except Clark used her screens correctly, going tite by them , HVL had no room had to go around. 3 pants Clark. Paige went to far away, Marshall was right in her pocket poor Edwards had to step out to stop her foul. Other screens were good and Marshall got knocked on her ass. Flopped, shit there was so much flopping in every game I've watched. Ridiculous crap.
@@WestCoastAthletic Yeh, when they are on the floor with a lot of girls over 6' it's easy to think of some of them as small. I'm a pretty big guy and Caitlin has a bit on me. Gabby is almost as tall as me, whereas I sort of think of her as coming up to my shoulders when I see her playing.
it’s so crazy the angle they kept using in the replay showing a close up shot… it was so obviously a moving screen 🤦🏽♂️ if you see the panned out replay or even just watch it again at full speed it’s so freaking obvious how she takes a huge step out and then tops it off with an elbow poking out. wtf are we even talking about. the refs are supposed to allow a moving screen so that uconn can get a shot off and possibly win it? yes timing makes it look bad but that was so obvious!
She tried and Marshall was my favorite player, but Paige cooked her for the most part. I love Gabbie's honesty though; Paige just hit those shots and there wasn't much she could have done.
All well said. I stopped watching college ball years ago and did not watch the gals, but I watched these last two games, great atheletes and competitors.
As a Nebraska alum, with no skin-in the game...yes, 100% correct call! I saw feet moving, elbow out, and leaning in. No question at all. That was the correct call.
Murkowski set the same screen against Gabby for the game winning shot by Jaz Shelley in the Iowa v Nebraska game. I’m sure this scene was playing in Gabby’s head when she saw this UConn play playing out.
You guys are out to lunch. This was not a moving screen and all the big $ following Clark had to make it to the finals. The Iowa player whined and sold it to the ref. These type calls should not be made to decide a game as important as this. Also shows hat put great defense on Clark she looks pretty normal
Let's get one thing clear, even if there was no foul there's no way to know if the shot they'd taken would've made it. How rebounding a missed free throw, or not letting a in bound pass hit you off your back cor how bout not letting a sophomore dominate your senior inside (Stuelke 23 points) how bout not blowing a twelve point lead n how bout not leaning into a screen with your elbow exposed). There are MULTIPLE reasons why UConn lost.
lol uconn lead literally the entire game and held the greatest player in the country to 0 3s in the first half. IOWA also blew a 12 point lead in 3rd quarter to bring it to a one point game and could only survive final push by UCONN by a bs referee UCONN took 4 free throws all night long while entire UCONN team was in foul trouble. U cant say calls were bad both ways bc they weren't and there;s no way uconn would catch the ball, make it all the way down court and score a perfect 3 in 1.1 seconds get real loser. Enjoy your L tomorrow at the hands of SC and remember this is what you people wanted. CC was shut down by a team of 5 cripples un foul trouble how do you honestly think she will perform against a team that is bigger, stronger, faster, and morw athletic in everyway. Dont get me wrong, if UCONN won last night they would be absolutely crushed in championship they had ZERO chance of beating them but see I can say that because I am not a blind fanboy idiot unlike IOWA fans who can't acknowledge an obvious fix when it slaps them in the face.
The Iowa team is so entertaining to watch, a team full of talented, passionate, and respectful student athletes. What an amazing example to our youth. Gabbie’s beautiful looks is misleading to some, she is an awesome tough defensive player, and she is more than capable offensively. Thank you.
Go back and watch the panned out shot of the play and you can clearly see Edwards step out into Gabby and move her elbow out. From the stream and the replay it was a close-up shot.
@@Sasqueech This was not a moving screen and all the big $ following Clark had to make it to the finals. The Iowa player whined and sold it to the ref. These type calls should not be made to decide a game as important as this. Also shows hat put great defense on Clark she looks pretty normal
It was a mistake by Edwards. Her feet were much wider than her shoulders and upper body not only leaning but she pushed out her arms to extend the screen illegally. Like lots of fans, I can appreciate it would have been nice to see if UConn could make a game winner. But that was a foul that if not called would have allowed UConn to get a potential game winner utilizing a no-call on a moving screen. When Michigan coach Howard slapped a Wisconsin coach, instead of saying it was bad, some ESPN talking heads called for stopping the handshake line which is a symbol of good sportmanship. (Sorry to add that dig at ESPN but SVP was wrong on the saying it was a bad call.)

@@jackfanning7952 And they've got a simulcast going with 2 former UConn players on the call. Both of them pitched a fit, despite knowing better. If either of them had been the defender and gotten picked off like that they'd have been screaming for the call.
Marshall talks about team effort when asked what she's most of proud of in the game. Gives intelligent and clear answers, thankfully not an "I", "me" person!
My first instinct, even as an Iowa fan was, okay why call that contact in the last nine seconds? Then, I thought, she set an illegal screen to gain an illegal advantage on the most critical play of the game, in order to cut Iowa’s best defensive player out of the play, to let Uconn’s best player get an open shot. I can see why it was a judgment call for the refs. I thought they let obvious hard fouls go all game and more or less allowed UConn to play as aggressively as they wanted defensively all game, which really impacted Iowa’s ability to run its usual offense, so at least they put it stop to it on the critical play. I hate it when basketball turns into boxing, wrestling and rugby (and they call that “good defense” these days, I guess) so I figure it was about time they did the right thing.
As an Iowa fan, I absolutely would not let Paige take that last shot. Iowa had the same play burn and cost them the game in Nebraska. it was Gabby who got duped by Markowski in that game. Here’s a heady player who absolutely would not let the same play dupe her. It’s a shame no one is giving Gabby her props.
You are correct. The U Conn player saw Gabbie, Iowa's best defensive player, coming past the screen for a probable block on Paige's last second shot. The U Conn elbow went out & knocked Gabbie away. The refs called it correctly.
Amazing defensive play Gabbie! It was mos def a moving screen, thank goodness the referee had the integrity to call it. Too many times they swallow the whistle on the last play. Great job Marshall you are a fierce baller‼️
@@artistamisto Every time you fail to make that obvious call, you coarsen the game. Big reason I don't watch NBA anymore. WAY too physical. Should be about finesse.
As a ref, you look at the player's arm and shoulder position in a screen. That was an offensive foul every time. No matter what your position you CANNOT use your shoulder to lean into the player.
You can also see clearly from one angle that the screener never got set. She moved right into the defender and extended her shoulder to block her path. She was like an offensive lineman blocking on a running play.
It wasn't just the arm, and beyond the fact that she jumped 4 feet to make the screen, it was the knee she stuck out. That was just asking for trouble and across all levels of basketball, if she cracks a knee cap, a fight breaks out and the play is dirty. It was a foul for good reason
2 excellent teams, not just CC vs Paige. The ref was brave to make that call, typically they let the players decide at the end. It was definitely a moving screen. It would have been interesting to see the play develop. Stuelke popped out on Paige so that left Edwards with a open shot at the FT line. Great game!
it was the right call regardless if it was UCONN's last possession..dont set a moving pick and they might have won..esp when Edwards elbows got thrown into Gabbie a bit..subtle yet made enough contact to draw that O foul..nice work GM
Some violations are just too egregious and committed right in front of a ref that you just force them to make the call. If you don’t want to get called , at least hide it from the refs.
This was not a moving screen and all the big $ following Clark had to make it to the finals. The Iowa player whined and sold it to the ref. These type calls should not be made to decide a game as important as this. Also shows hat put great defense on Clark she looks pretty normal
@@kevinkilroy3909 That bad call was no more like the technical foul the slapped on CC for “throwing the ball to the stands”. Except last year Iowa fan did not go trolling LSU chats to whine about the refs haha
defense wins championships and Syd in the starting line up really improve their defense. Gabby has always been their best defensive player. she's got quick hands.
The problem besides the moving was the lifting of the elbow that made it a foul for sure it happened at the most inappropriate time, but it was a foul. The game could’ve gone 1000 different ways with three-point shots falling or not falling one of these teams had to lose, and one of these teams had to win… all those young ladies played a great game
This girl didn't get enough credit in this game. She's much shorter and held a great player for UCon in check. She played so hard the whole game defending a very good player. Great defense!
Yea right, look at the replay of how Clark pushed the defender with her arm 3 feet to make a 3, should have been offensive foul. This was not a moving screen and all the big $ following Clark had to make it to the finals. The Iowa player whined and sold it to the ref. A call this close should not be made to decide a game as important as this. Let them play, if UCONN missed the shot so be it. Also shows that put great defense on Clark she looks pretty normal. They will not beat Carolina
Not true. 3 earlier screen calls. Uconn had 10 more foul calls on them. It was an opinion call that was border line with good acting skills from Marshall.
I never could understand how people say you can't make that call in that situation, hey if a foul is committed it's a foul regardless of the situation of the game. SMH
When I saw it live I thought it was a weak call, but when you see Edwards from the waist down in the replay it's *obvious* how egregious it was. It's sad a game ends on a ref call in such a dramatic situation, but it was the right call.
Iowa Women has such a special team, they rally around Caitlin and all play their role to a tee. Gotta be honest I've never been this interested in the Women's Ncaa tourney, twice already I've caught myself searching for Iowa's gametime. More then i have for the Men this year but that also has to do with My hometown Lobo's losing to Clemson. Really rooting for these girls and hope they come away with the SHIP! SC is fierce and it's gonna be some great bball. I just think this is great for Women's basketball.
It was a great game, and both teams played exceedingly well. Regarding the call, I'm a BBall ref and my training--and the rules--make clear you can't shufle your feet out into the path of the defender, raise your elbows and initiate contact. That's a football play, not Bball. It's the ball handler's job to bring the defender to the screen, not the scfreen to the defender. And it occurred in the closing seconds of an exciting game. Not intentional. Also not gauranteed to change the outcome; there was still a pass and a shot to be completed. Congrats to both teams and their exceptional athletes.
Way to go gabby she did push it you with her elbow you played a great game now hers you chance that iowa team and you 1 I tell them we win it for our team and win it for your coaches and most of all go out your team and win it for mollie that something needs brought up for mollie ❤️ you HAWKEYES NOW NOW GO TAKE IT
Two questions now: 1) what are we gonnar do to shut down 6’7 Cordosa? 2) And what are we gonna do so another team doesn’t shut down shots/assists by Caitlin like W Va and now UConn has done?
@@loridobos7174 - Yeah, true ... But they shut her down nearly the entire 1st Q and then some of the 2nd Q .... They did it right (not good for Iowa) but just didn't have the talent/endurance of UCONN to sustain it adquately for an entire game.
Gabbie is one of the best defensive players in the women's college game . The little things she does turnout to be huge . Best of luck going forward . Huge task ahead of them with the Gamecocks . Go Hawkeyes .
It was obvious watching it live that Gabbie knew it was a moving screen. She had her back turned to the official and when the whistle blew she pumped her fist without even looking at the official to see what the call was. All the players knew what the call was immediately, and so did Geno who was standing probably less than 10 feet away and looking right at it. Geno's immediate reaction was toward his player who set the screen, not the official. It was an obvious call that officials make virtually every time no matter what the game situation is. If the official doesn't call it he's taking away the defender's right to play good defense.
Gabby Marshall is known for playing great defense and so people shouldn't be surprised she shut page down. Also Gabby is known for being a great deep 3 shooter too. She really a very part of the team. Caitlin Clark didn't score 40 points,and the team still won. The part the reason they won,it because Gabby played great defense in the game.
Aaliyah Edwards saw Marshall heading towards Paige Bueckers and knowing she is a great shock blocker went a little too far and made a football block on Gabby. And was called for the offensive foul. Bueckers was shooting about 41% and at the time ucon was behind by 2. So saying the refs influenced the outcome is ludicrous. Even if she had gotten the shot off there the odds were NOT in her favor to make it. More than likely Gabby would have blocked it.
"The green eyed bandit" strikes again, preety " GABBIE" again comes up with a BIG play for the HAWKS.She will make another big one in the final game if its close cause that's what she does....
Marshall has been fighting through screens all tournament. She moves her feet, and fast. She earned that foul, because she got by and forced the knee and arm to reach out to knock her away. That’s just solid D.
The normal TV angle clearly shows Edwards moved over with elbow up; that is a moving screen. You can’t block the defender off the offensive player. If Gabby isn’t blocked Paige, all this with clock running at 4 seconds, might not get the ball or Gabby gets a hand on ball causing clock to run out or causing a turnover or Gabby and Hannah surround Paige so no shot or Paige has to call timeout with maybe 1 second. Also Iowa has a foul to give to stop clock on any scenario causing an inbounds to put time at 1 second or Less. Now let’s talk about real Fouls not called like the 3 point attempt by Caitlin in the 4th where she had a foot put under her, which should have been 3 foul shots. But the worst is the constant fouling on Caitlin with or without the ball. It is Not good defense to body her, push her, arm bar her, hack her ect. The real question is why Bludder took the ball out of Caitlin’s hand when they Always run the offense thru her and that insistence on trying to pass the ball to Hannah at the top of the key or foul line that wasn’t there?
Gabby always shows up on defense and they knew Gabby was actually going to find away to steal the ball for that’s what she does toward the end of games then that offensive player of UConn gave Gabby an elbow and that should have been called and it was a flagrant foul period
good point, the center was literally trying to set a screen for like 3 seconds. She just wasnt able to. And thats totally not within the spirit of the game. The screene is supposed to work of stagnate screener
If she'd of just stood still and not lean in and put her shoulder into the other player coming around, there would not have been a call at all. The refs have been making that call all year against my favorite team.
"Baby Doll" Marshall immediately knew what was up with that moving screen/elbow out. The refs did not cost UConn the game, Edwards did! Gino should do a better job of coaching the proper technique for a legitimate screen. Besides, if the call had NOT been made, and UConn scores, THEN all everyone would be talking about is the missed call. Move on whiners,,,,,,
What disturbs me most is the level of bias within the commentators of the WNBA. Added to that the racist attitude of past players (Swoops to be specific) there is nothing more harmful to women’s sports than what is unfolding in front of the nation. Why tarnish the attraction Reese’s and Caitlyn’s skills brought to the sport. Who gives a hoop or a holla whether they are white, black, gay or straight.
Looks like Edwards was an experienced Roller Derby Defenseman. That foul was so obvious when looking at full replay of Edward’s movement of legs and closeup of her arms. Apologies should be made by ESPN post game commentaries. Otherwise fire them all. Praise the Ref. for the right call. ESPN bias…where do they get their paychecks?…Bristol, CT? hmm
depending what bench you sit on tough call at the end but honestly the right call … Gabby got blasted . In sports you win some close ones and lose some close ones …one play doesn’t make a game Both teams had plenty of opportunities throughout the game to make up that one play. Just an awesome game gabby and Iowa played awesome defense . I’m a Geno fan …tough season but they’ll be back. Congrats Iowa on a great win.
She called it, a moving screen, you can't do it, period. I listened to post game with Caitlin and Hannah and now Gabby. Three great young ladies.

You're awesome Gabby!
Yes D! BUT GABBIE HAS TO SCORE MORE AGAINST SC! Please!!!
As well do all of them for a win and championship
Kathy yes, I largely brought her up because she's the only starting five that's probably averaging 3ish points the past 5-6 games.
She can get a bit streaky with shooting. She didn’t have a good offensive game tonight so I think she’s due . Hers 3’s are a beautiful thing.
It was a moving screen. Get over it ESPN East Coast commentators.
ESPN is insufferable
we all saw her move out to hit Marshall. They're pretty aggressive with the screens. great game though!

This was not a moving screen and all the big $ following Clark had to make it to the finals. The Iowa player whined and sold it to the ref. These type calls should not be made to decide a game as important as this. Also shows hat put great defense on Clark she looks pretty normal
@@kevinkilroy3909 As an Iowa fan, I’m just giddy that call has affected so many haters like you.🤣
@@kevinkilroy3909 That bad call was no more like the technical foul the slapped on CC for “throwing the ball to the stands”. Except last year Iowa fan did not go trolling LSU chats to whine about the refs haha
Caitlin Clark push off for 3 pointers was in front of referee and ref was fine with it. Bias referee.
Gabbie knew she drew that foul.
yeah its called being smart
defense wins championships and Syd in the starting line up really improve their defense. Gabby has always been their best defensive player. she's got quick hands.
Gabbie coming up with some killer defense yet again. Props to her and her contributions to a team win
What a smart player. She knows the rules incredibly well and defends accordingly.
That was the 3rd moving screen called against that player in the game. All you ask is for consistency by the refs and that’s what that was.
The problem besides the moving was the lifting of the elbow that made it a foul for sure it happened at the most inappropriate time, but it was a foul. The game could’ve gone 1000 different ways with three-point shots falling or not falling one of these teams had to lose, and one of these teams had to win… all those young ladies played a great game
This girl didn't get enough credit in this game. She's much shorter and held a great player for UCon in check. She played so hard the whole game defending a very good player. Great defense!
Abso-FUCKING-lutely!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
It takes your five best. It’s not just Gabbie’s skills, it’s her humility that makes her game stand apart. Congrats to Iowa, one more.
Refs let UConn get away with it a few times before they decided to call it.
Yea right, look at the replay of how Clark pushed the defender with her arm 3 feet to make a 3, should have been offensive foul. This was not a moving screen and all the big $ following Clark had to make it to the finals. The Iowa player whined and sold it to the ref. A call this close should not be made to decide a game as important as this. Let them play, if UCONN missed the shot so be it. Also shows that put great defense on Clark she looks pretty normal. They will not beat Carolina
Not true. 3 earlier screen calls. Uconn had 10 more foul calls on them. It was an opinion call that was border line with good acting skills from Marshall.
Flop from Iowa player. Soft call. Iowa is cheater.
Of COURSE she knew it was a moving violation! That's LITERALLY her job, and she's one of the best!! ❤❤❤
Why everyone asking her about the call? She’s not the one who committed the foul.
I never could understand how people say you can't make that call in that situation, hey if a foul is committed it's a foul regardless of the situation of the game. SMH
Gabbie will be missed as one the awesome members of this great Iowa team (team being the operative word).😊🏀♥️
Nobody mentions this but …Kudos for the Referee in crunch time to NOT be afraid to make the right call as they see it!
That was a foul through-and-through. Johnathan Ogden would have been proud! 😂 💪🏾
I don't know if it was a good call or bad call but i did hear the N.Y Jets signed Aaliyah Edwards this morning to block for Aaron Rodgers next season
Gabbie is a big reason for a lot of their wins. Her defense needs to be talked about more.
My Crush 🔥🏀. Excellent team work tonight 🏀
Clutch defender!!!!!
Should have been defensive player of the year. Great job Gabbie.
Gabbie played an AMAZING defensive game ❤
UConn fans crying about the refs making a bad call... That was clearly a moving screen. They got it right. Gabby struck again!!
AGREE. the problem is that call doesn't get called consistently but it's clearly a moving screen and she popped out her elbows which is worse
Not even close
Watch the video, she stuck her left knee out to catch Gabby, had to call it!
@@mr.robert2507 what wasn’t close? This game was hella close.
When I saw it live I thought it was a weak call, but when you see Edwards from the waist down in the replay it's *obvious* how egregious it was. It's sad a game ends on a ref call in such a dramatic situation, but it was the right call.
that last play was a clear offensive foul. it just happened at the end of the ballgame..
Iowa Women has such a special team, they rally around Caitlin and all play their role to a tee. Gotta be honest I've never been this interested in the Women's Ncaa tourney, twice already I've caught myself searching for Iowa's gametime. More then i have for the Men this year but that also has to do with My hometown Lobo's losing to Clemson. Really rooting for these girls and hope they come away with the SHIP! SC is fierce and it's gonna be some great bball. I just think this is great for Women's basketball.
It was a great game, and both teams played exceedingly well. Regarding the call, I'm a BBall ref and my training--and the rules--make clear you can't shufle your feet out into the path of the defender, raise your elbows and initiate contact. That's a football play, not Bball. It's the ball handler's job to bring the defender to the screen, not the scfreen to the defender. And it occurred in the closing seconds of an exciting game. Not intentional. Also not gauranteed to change the outcome; there was still a pass and a shot to be completed. Congrats to both teams and their exceptional athletes.
Way to go gabby she did push it you with her elbow you played a great game now hers you chance that iowa team and you 1 I tell them we win it for our team and win it for your coaches and most of all go out your team and win it for mollie that something needs brought up for mollie ❤️ you HAWKEYES NOW NOW GO TAKE IT
Way to go, Gabbie!! Go Hawks!!!
Two questions now: 1) what are we gonnar do to shut down 6’7 Cordosa? 2) And what are we gonna do so another team doesn’t shut down shots/assists by Caitlin like W Va and now UConn has done?
Caitlin had 32 points against West Virginia.
@@loridobos7174 - Yeah, true ... But they shut her down nearly the entire 1st Q and then some of the 2nd Q .... They did it right (not good for Iowa) but just didn't have the talent/endurance of UCONN to sustain it adquately for an entire game.
Bad A -- Barbie Doll Marshall saves the day AGAIN.
It was a foul !!! I have no dog in the fight.
Anyone with eyes know it was a blatant foul..
Those without eyes may see it differently
Gabby defensively is tough. Held her to 17 she's averaging like 28
THIS NEEDS to be talked about more!! Gabby help make Paige a practical ghost this entire game!!!
Gabbie is one of the best defensive players in the women's college game . The little things she does turnout to be huge . Best of luck going forward . Huge task ahead of them with the Gamecocks . Go Hawkeyes .
It was a moving screen,Foul end of story
It was obvious watching it live that Gabbie knew it was a moving screen. She had her back turned to the official and when the whistle blew she pumped her fist without even looking at the official to see what the call was. All the players knew what the call was immediately, and so did Geno who was standing probably less than 10 feet away and looking right at it. Geno's immediate reaction was toward his player who set the screen, not the official. It was an obvious call that officials make virtually every time no matter what the game situation is. If the official doesn't call it he's taking away the defender's right to play good defense.
Gabby Marshall is known for playing great defense and so people shouldn't be surprised she shut page down. Also Gabby is known for being a great deep 3 shooter too. She really a very part of the team. Caitlin Clark didn't score 40 points,and the team still won. The part the reason they won,it because Gabby played great defense in the game.
Gabbie has been clutch all season. Without her, Iowa is at home. Go get em Hawks.
“Us oldies” lmao
Great game!! UConn played great D for the most part, even though I'm an Iowa fan in this game.
Both teams limited the other’s superstar. She did a great job slowing Paige down
Prettiest Girl on the Court
Gabbie is such a team player that's so cool.. Her looks are incredible. Nice game Gabby
Yes it a moving screen with her body moving left with her elbow out and a foul is called…Good job Gabbie Marshall…❤❤
The foul was obvious. Even one of the commentators, when they replayed it, could not keep from blurting out "ouf!" when she saw it slowed down.
The OOF was because it was such a ridiculous call to make at that point, and was really tough to swallow....
Aaliyah Edwards saw Marshall heading towards Paige Bueckers and knowing she is a great shock blocker went a little too far and made a football block on Gabby. And was called for the offensive foul. Bueckers was shooting about 41% and at the time ucon was behind by 2. So saying the refs influenced the outcome is ludicrous. Even if she had gotten the shot off there the odds were NOT in her favor to make it. More than likely Gabby would have blocked it.
Caitlin.. please come back next year and help Sydney and Hannah... you three would be hard to beat...!!
Addison Deal is going to be the new Iowa guard next season. She's from San Jose
She cant
@@edwardt7364 She actually has another year of eligibility, but she is choosing to move on with her life.
Gabbie .. Iowa secret weapon strikes again !!!❤
"The green eyed bandit" strikes again, preety " GABBIE" again comes up with a BIG play for the HAWKS.She will make another big one in the final game if its close cause that's what she does....
Marshall has been fighting through screens all tournament. She moves her feet, and fast. She earned that foul, because she got by and forced the knee and arm to reach out to knock her away. That’s just solid D.
Lady Hawkeyes have "9 Lives"..!!!!!
The normal TV angle clearly shows Edwards moved over with elbow up; that is a moving screen. You can’t block the defender off the offensive player. If Gabby isn’t blocked Paige, all this with clock running at 4 seconds, might not get the ball or Gabby gets a hand on ball causing clock to run out or causing a turnover or Gabby and Hannah surround Paige so no shot or Paige has to call timeout with maybe 1 second. Also Iowa has a foul to give to stop clock on any scenario causing an inbounds to put time at 1 second or Less. Now let’s talk about real Fouls not called like the 3 point attempt by Caitlin in the 4th where she had a foot put under her, which should have been 3 foul shots. But the worst is the constant fouling on Caitlin with or without the ball. It is Not good defense to body her, push her, arm bar her, hack her ect. The real question is why Bludder took the ball out of Caitlin’s hand when they Always run the offense thru her and that insistence on trying to pass the ball to Hannah at the top of the key or foul line that wasn’t there?
Gabbie rocks!!! So good!!!
She is so beautiful
Give credit where it’s due cause Gabbie silenced “Paige buckets” in the second half and kept her under 20 points. Huge defensive plays
Gabby always shows up on defense and they knew Gabby was actually going to find away to steal the ball for that’s what she does toward the end of games then that offensive player of UConn gave Gabby an elbow and that should have been called and it was a flagrant foul period
A super model playing basketball ❤️
How did today go?
So she was staying on her hip so that nobody could set a screen. So to set that screen, it had to be a moving screen. So that's just good defense
good point, the center was literally trying to set a screen for like 3 seconds. She just wasnt able to. And thats totally not within the spirit of the game. The screene is supposed to work of stagnate screener
If she'd of just stood still and not lean in and put her shoulder into the other player coming around, there would not have been a call at all. The refs have been making that call all year against my favorite team.
Paige should have ran closer to Edwards.
"Baby Doll" Marshall immediately knew what was up with that moving screen/elbow out. The refs did not cost UConn the game, Edwards did! Gino should do a better job of coaching the proper technique for a legitimate screen. Besides, if the call had NOT been made, and UConn scores,
THEN all everyone would be talking about is the missed call. Move on whiners,,,,,,
I am an LSU fan....and this girl puts a G in defense..... yeah ikr
Tough as nails
What disturbs me most is the level of bias within the commentators of the WNBA. Added to that the racist attitude of past players (Swoops to be specific) there is nothing more harmful to women’s sports than what is unfolding in front of the nation. Why tarnish the attraction Reese’s and Caitlyn’s skills brought to the sport. Who gives a hoop or a holla whether they are white, black, gay or straight.
Gabbie has been amazing all year!!
Looks like Edwards was an experienced Roller Derby Defenseman. That foul was so obvious when looking at full replay of Edward’s movement of legs and closeup of her arms. Apologies
should be made by ESPN post game commentaries. Otherwise fire them all. Praise the Ref. for the right call. ESPN bias…where do they get their paychecks?…Bristol, CT? hmm
depending what bench you sit on tough call at the end but honestly the right call … Gabby got blasted . In sports you win some close ones and lose some close ones …one play doesn’t make a game Both teams had plenty of opportunities throughout the game to make up that one play. Just an awesome game gabby and Iowa played awesome defense . I’m a Geno fan …tough season but they’ll be back. Congrats Iowa on a great win.
