I mean the 2 offensive fouls on Clark were among the worst you'll ever see. Clear cut defensive fouls.

That was a Jordan like performance, Carson should’ve shrugged her shoulders.

Clear offensive fouls. She could have been called for more.

She is a great offensive player and amazing talent. She been playing horrible defense and commuted those fouls.

The refs have been horrible. They’ve been taking turns screwing each team. In the end LSU winning on insane outlier shooting. They make 5 total a game on average. They deserve to be up big.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

ROFL what? You think defenders should be able to ride the ball handler AND use their arm to go across their mid section to prevent them from blowing by? Then call an offensive foul when the ball handler uses their arm to get the defender out of their entitled space? That's trash on ball defense that happens when a defender cannot guard the offensive player.

Clark's defensive foul was legit, but the offensive, woof. If you think those are fouls then go back to watching 1950s hoops.

LSU on fire on O and especially credit to Carson. Never going to beat a team having that kind of shooting performance (some of it is bad defense/daring, but LSU is going above and beyond).

Haven't really slowed Iowa with Clark on the floor, but Iowa can't get it going without her. I'd put those whistles in the pretty darn rough camp. They're not uncallable, but they could've gone the other way or been not called quite easily.

Still a game, glad Iowa didn't fold coming out of the half and LSU going up over 20.

Hmm not over yet but Clark may need at least 40 again for them to win.

I have loved watching this Iowa run but I think LSU is gonna win this by 25. Clark's 3 fouls completely changes things and I don't see the Tigers suddenly missing every shot in the 3rd q.

Its still so hard to play in the post mens or womens when the defender is playing so close to you. Shaq went through this his whole career.

I hate listening to Bird and Taurasi!

There’s a great game going on, and they are completely ignoring it, to talk about themselves.

Yeah, this is a big L for the refs being the center of the conversation in what is quite arguably the biggest womens game of all-time.

The refs are ruining this game for both sides. Sad for a crew to perform this poorly from start to now.

One of the most hyped up women's games of all time, if not the most, and the refs decided they want to be be the stars.
