leaning screen all day, if they don't call it, they aren't in good shape for a shot either way, would have been a prayer.

He surpassed the conversation years ago.

So I admit to getting sucked into the hype the past few games. In other words, this is the first women’s basketball I’ve watched in forever. But Jesus…are all the games this sloppy? I saw more terrible shots and 3’s that weren’t even close than on an elementary playground. Not to mention terrible passing and just bonehead decisions towards the end of the game. Still exciting to watch! But the talent seemed underwhelming in regards to the hype.

Eh, its not my favorite call given the importance of the moment. Most of the time that isn't getting called, so why call it as a game-ending whistle. Want to see players win or lose games, not refs. Like both of these teams so don't mind seeing Clark one last time

Quality of these games is very poor, yes. Clark is miles better than just about all of them.

I never watch women's CBB and Iowa/LSU was far better... neither game tonight was nearly as good, IMO, even if this one had good drama at the end.

Clark was on her game against LSU, completely took over in the 2nd half... not just hitting 3s, but several great assists.

The distant shot in the highlights shows the screener was definitely moving. It also shows they would have had to loft a prayer to get a shot of to win anyway.

So JuJu wasn't held in the SB. You watch the wide shot of that screen and she was moving.

You might be able to argue that was a foul by the letter of the law but that call is never made at that point in the game. Soft stuff.

LSU guarded Clark about as badly as any team could ever guard her with no real strategy at all. Horrific coaching job.

UConn did a far better job of it.

Same arguments being made now that were made at the end of the Super Bowl vs. the Eagles... it was a foul and it effected the play.

Because he knows it pays off, just like that Iowa girl presumably did
