The more nba-like format of wbb is so superior for late game drama.

No clue why mbb hasn't already copied it. Quarters, 5 foul limit, no one and one, advancing ball with a timeout. If people compare this to the NBA...maybe it's because the superior rules are MORE LIKE THE NBA than the mbb game rather than that they're comparing players.

They don't need to go all the way up to a 48 minute game and 24 second shot clock, but they should copy this format for mbb.

I don't watch much women's basketball, but I must say, the officiating is making me want to spend my time on other endeavors. One team gets to push of repeatedly to create space, and then with 4 seconds on the clock, they call a weak screen foul on the other team.

It'll be interesting to see how Geno handles this. UCONN doesn't get big timed with the refs like they did tonight.

I'll give Geno credit. He didn't act like a maniac on the sideline like I think he had every right to. Meanwhile, bluder down there going nuts the whole game sure worked out ok for her.

Calling that offensive foul should end that refs career.

Talk about a screw job.

Gotta keep their meal ticket playing any way they can. So sickening.

Cant wait for this crap to be over.

@HFCS Garbage like giving star treatment to get ratings is what will hurt the game. Not UConn’s dominance. That was a joke.

40-0 in 1st/2nd round is not healthy. Maybe it's more on a stupid tournament/playoff format than Uconn being good, but also some of it is just spreading out the talent more. Clark wanted to be a Husky right?

I commented live that the call on the illegal screen was brutal.

I feel like I'm the only non-Iowa fan who agreed with that foul call. She stuck her leg way out there.
Gotta let the players decide the game at the end. No reason to call that foul. With 3.9 left, it wasn’t looking like UCONN was gonna get anything up anyways. Let them play it out.
