Yeah, no. She grabbed the ball, facing the official walking over to come get the ball and she behind the back passes it away from the official. Watch the replay at about :40.
Looks like I remembered it wrong.

Iowa scored 85 points on a really good defensive team. LSU won because they shot the ball extremely well.LSU knew how to stop the pick and roll.
Giving up 85 is not good defense.Iowa scored 85 points on a really good defensive team. LSU won because they shot the ball extremely well.
Um, no. She chucked the ball behind her back out of bounds. Had it not hit a cameraman, it goes into the stands. That’s a mini-tantrum, it’s whiny, and it’s immediately an easy technical foul, in both the men’s and women’s game. Star players shouldn’t get away with that shi*t. They had already given the iowa bench a warning - hand the ball to the ref and don’t do sh*t like that, especially when you’re light years better than any other player on the court. Be above that.I didn't see it that way at all. That was a bad call, no bones about it. But the idea that something was working against Clark in some major way is just patently false. She's the biggest start in CBB, men's or women's, bar none, and of course they would have loved her to get a championship.
Here’s what they are insinuatingWhy would the NCAA want to intentionally screw the biggest star in WBB out of winning a championship? I keep seeing people say(not all Hawk fans) that the game was not reffed fairly towards both ends and that "you know why" they wouldn't want Clark to be a national champion, which is why the game was fixed for LSU.
But I actually do not know why. At all. I'm beyond confused. Someone help.

LSU is a really good defensive team and Iowa is a really good offensive team. Not sure how anyone can disagree with that.Giving up 85 is not good defense.

So it took 4 pages for someone to address the OP title. Something that seems to come up in every other topic within a few posts. Everyone has to have a reason for not reaching the top of the mountain and you can't look to within to see a problem. It not always someone else fault.View attachment 111659 View attachment 111660 View attachment 111661 View attachment 111662 View attachment 111663 Here’s what they are insinuating
I didn’t say they weren’t a good defensive team, I said giving up 85 is not good defense. Iowa state is considered to be a good MBB defensive team and we allowed Some teams to go off on us when we played poorly those nights.LSU is a really good defensive team and Iowa is a really good offensive team. Not sure how anyone can disagree with that.
Wonder if those posters felt the same way the game before???So it took 4 pages for someone to address the OP title. Something that seems to come up in every other topic within a few posts.

Most Iowa fans aren’t blaming the refs for the loss. But I find it amusing that a lot of this thread is defending the refs on the T on Clark.The refs were incompetent, but I don't think they had a bias.
The technical on Clark was some of the weakest **** I'd ever seen, and if I were an Iowa fan, I'd be apoplectic.
It does not look like a roll from the video. And they already had a delay warningWe'll have to agree to disagree. It wasn't delaying the game, it wasn't "chucked", she basically rolled it, and the only effect it had on the game was giving a transcendent player their 4th foul in what should be a showcase for your sport. You apparently think that's a good thing, I don't.
I suppose that could be a thing. If so then ESPN is really stupid because its really damn hard to advance in the tournamentCreates a massive redemption story for her next year. ESPN can spin this Iowa team for an entire year about their hunt for a natty.
The committee wanted an all-female crew to work the final four to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Title IX, they unfortunately paid the price by not just assigning the best officials.The refs were incompetent, but I don't think they had a bias.

It comes from both sides. It came out pretty quick from SC coach after they lost.Wonder if those posters felt the same way the game before???

CourdeAulene is a resident racist over there and routinely gets called out. I suspect many have blocked him over there.Absolutely horrifying stuff, but the very last post gets right to what the rest of them really wanted to say but feared they couldn't. Same with many of the Twitter Hawks who go on about "homegrown Iowa talent" and "Clark was raised better than Reese," "I'm proud that my team was classy," etc. Just cut the pretense, drop the N word and let the world know who you really are
