Ah, got it. Didn't see the link.

So they would have lost by like 15 instead of 17.

You just know this will be the next big thing.

Article specifically calls out the 2nd foul on Reese as one of the subpar calls.

But it won't matter to hawk fan; they've now got more ammo to complain about that game

CC will never have a call go against her this season, even if she tells the officials to **** themselves

What does this mean?

Not much. Ref accuracy was somewhat below what would be expected. Sort of like the baseball playoffs this season where the umps were not stellar and more on par with the average MLB ump calls sores for the season. In your champ game you should be looking for your best peeps and to have them do their best. Didn't impact the game but could have if it were a one possession win.

Yeah refs weren't the difference. I think the Final Four win over that absolutely unbelievable South Carolina team that was considered one of the best ever and hadn't lost a game and was everyone's clear favorite maybe just took too much out of Iowa. That win was pretty legend. Plus the LSU player who came off the bench and made every 3 pointer she put up. That was the other huge factor. CC was still clearly the best player on the floor.

What was the point of publishing this 7 months after he game got over? WTH?
More NCAA stupidity. They actually did the study early, they were going to wait until after 2024 season.

Agree. Why release the results? Just ream the refs a new one and never let them do a national championship game again if they were so bad. Which they really weren't, their accuracy rate was like 3percent below average.

Dawn Staley doing Dawn Staley things...

Interesting point of view.

But I think we can all agree it was strange that they came out with this report publicly after so many months. Official reviews are generally confidential. Especially when there isn’t any particular plays that they identify as being egregious.
