2023 Women’s NCAA Tournament

[NJ-Buckeye]

Cannot remember a championship game that had the 3 top players of one team... all sitting with 4 fouls...
Find this extremely difficult to believe nothing is behind that...

Why not put Clark in to shoot a 3 with less than 5 seconds left in the quarter?

There were 21.1 seconds left with 20 on the shot clock.

Was asking the same.

They've been fucking atrocious, the game is too big for them, but I guess that's not what matters.

There are just as many male refs that are horrific as well. Don’t think the them being female has anything to do with how shitty the game is called

It will be their first and their last….atrocious

I think the focus for a game this big should be on getting the officials with the highest grades, whether male or female.

That the celebration is about their sex makes me wonder if that's how they were chosen.

Yes….I don’t think it is commentary on the gender…it is just too big of a stage for this particular crew given the reaction of the LSU coach and they T up Iowa’s best player on a questionable call at best…

Agreed on the best. These women might have graded out the best over the season. We don’t know.

And I think the biggest mistake is like the NFL they choose the “best” individual refs instead of the best crew.

Iowa’s coach is 100x more likeable than the ghoulish witch on the other side.

Shame that sports go the other way far too often.

Hype at an all time high for the women’s game and this is the crew you throw out there? Incompetent fucks running the show

It’s the NCAA. What do you expect

 

[OHSportsFan]

By the way, coach aside, it’s nothing against the LSU players.

They have played phenomenal all game. Talented group of ladies.

 

[Jake]

That 5th foul on Czinano was enough for me.

Mulkey does/says whatever the hell she wants and spends most of her time on the court. It's like they're intimidated by her.

Male female doesn’t matter. Yes there are plenty of bad ref crews. They don’t usually get the title game.
The point is they specifically went for an all femal crew, and by doing so cut their pool of available refs by probably 80-90%. They likely passed up much better crews and ended up with a crew that isnt up to the moment.

I mean they are afraid to give a coach a warning to stay the fuck off of the court.

Less than 20% of college basketball refs are women. Highly unlikely that the 4 highest grading are all women. So appears to be a stunt.
