I hate Geno but you have to give the guy his respect. He is almost Saban level.

Both of the UCONN programs are in the final 4 on a regular basis.

 

[VolBall09]

Anybody else dislike Staley?

I could learn to like her in Orange.

 

[BreatheUT]

I wish they both would lose. Don't like UCONN but tired of Clark this and Clark that.

Sorry but I felt the same way. Then I heard some of her quotes, and now I'm a fan. Seems like total class.

 

[creekdipper]

It takes a unique perspective to have seen it that way. Muhle did not deserve the foul on the steal. Arnold did not deserve the foul on the scoop layup they replayed. Both of those changed the way UConn can play. I still expect Iowa to win but blaming the refs for this half

And, according to #1 Homer Lobo, Clark did not deserve her foul, either. But I'm not talking about bad calls. I'm talking about no calls for very obvious fouls and dirty tactics used by some (not all) CONN players.

So you didn't see the intention elbow thrown by Bueckers and are somehow oblivious to Muhl's hands all over Clark? Wow.

The refs are not responsible for Iowa's missed layups or horrible entry passes. That's on Iowa. But they're letting CONN get away with murder on the defensive end.

Apparently, that is Airyenema's genius plan...commit the foul and hold until they start calling it. So far, it's working.

Uh....no

She's done a great job at South Carolina, but she's rough around the edges--not a lot of personal polish.

 

[SGMVols]

Paige has gotten away with two travels this quarter already

 

[onthehill71]

First half was lousy basketball. Stupid passes, missed layups, terrible shooting. Lsu Iowa game was fun to watch, great for women's basketball.
This half was torture.

 

[BreatheUT]

If Geno wins a title with THIS team, it’s the greatest coaching job ever. They have FIVE players down with season ending injuries

(I still like SC to win)

Wow

 

[VolBall09]

UConn hammering them and then acting SO confused. And people talk about Clark complaining about officiating.

 

[VolBall09]

Olive Oil needs to get her weight up.

 

[Vols2015]

I love seeing Geno get so upset

 

[LadyViking/Vol]

What don’t the refs just leave the game!?No whistles either way !! Wow!

 

[BreatheUT]

I'm not going to lie. I'm going for Iowa but if they keep calling these phantom fouls on UCONN I might change my mind.

SC is gonna crush UCONN if they won

 

[VolBall09]

Arnold doing freshman things.

 

[VolBall09]

Should be a foul on Edwards but they aren’t gonna call it. Absolutely no reason to swing your arm like that. As an elite athlete you’re required to have better body control than that.

 

[JCP201]

Connecticut is a dirty teamý

Dirty play. Coached to do that.

 

[UT Challenger]

They always have been watching.

 

[VolBall09]

Iowas spacing hasn’t been as good tonight. Marshall needs to move up on the wing a little when she cuts out. UConn is forcing Clark wayyyy right when she has the ball and it’s making for a weird angle on a lot of her passes.

Geno really is a genius. He’s a just so insufferable. Lol

 

[maple]

Probably. They beat us bad in February.

I don’t see SC losing to Iowa though. SC can actually shoot from the perimeter this year.

 

[VolFuture]

So realistically which team has a better chance vs SC?

If Uconn plays D like this… but such a short bench

I think Iowa personally. CC getting her bad game out. Idk tho

 

[creekdipper]

Clark making bad decisions. Had to be aware of shot clock when making that pass.

 

[ttharp]

How many points does Paige have? I feel like she’s been quiet. Yet, they’re right there. If she gets hot, game over.
