Womens Final 4 action going on now

[vision63]

Stanford v South Carolina

then

UCONN v Arizona

Oh. On ESPN. Or has my buddy used to say (rip) Espen.

[vision63]

A lot of time spent on the floor. The refs will call anything a jump ball.

Am just now recovering from that final play. My team lost but they gave it all.

[vision63]

Carolina fought to make it close.

A stunner in the 2nd game!

Onward to Sunday.

Yes, the held-ball call is very different from the men's game. How does a player jump on someone, or put both arms around their body to get to the ball and get a jump ball call?

I also hate the reticence to call fouls in March and April for men and women. I know they don't want to foul out key players with so much on the line, but so many non-calls gives teams willing to push and shove a huge advantage. It definitely cost Baylor a game, or at least an earned opportunity to shoot game-determining freethrows against UConn. It seems like the Refs tried to make up for the mistake by making so many calls against UConn in the semis.

Rant over. Looking forward to the remaining four tournament games!
