I usually don't buy into the people claiming "scripted" in other sports, but watching the women's tournament certainly makes you question it sometimes

Everyone knows this is going to be lsu bs Iowa. They don’t even need to play today.
Could you imagine the swing in eyeballs if it was ucla and Colorado.
I’m with you. Either the officiating is horrendously bad, or there’s a directive somewhere to get teams to advance for ratings. Teams with star players are getting more than the benefit of the doubt.
There is absolutely zero chance Colorado wins today barring Iowa not being able to put the ball in the hoop. The NCAA and ESPN absolutely needs the Iowa/LSU rematch.
********. WVU is a foul a minute team, it's their jam. Sometime they get called for it and don't prevail and other times they get away with. Pretty much called just like our game in Ames versus them with the same free-throw disparity to the Cyclones advantage.
I think all of WVU's fouls were fouls and they probably could have even called more, but Iowa should have had at least a few more fouls called on them. That one hooking foul that was reviewed to see if it was a flagrant on WVU...the Iowa player was doing the exact same thing simultaneously, just an example.
We all know sometimes what happens is the other team does end up fouling more than they usually do. I think Iowa probably fouled more than they usually do, and weren't called for it.
It's not the worst thing in the world though, it's a better officiating result than the common games where Huggins opponents would end up with MORE fouls than WVU did.
Network executives were probably wetting themselves when it looked like LSU could lose.
Clark is gonna fly right by these two slow bigs all game for layups and assists. This could be ugly, WVU was far tougher matchup and good they got them at home.
Colorado should go smaller immediately if they have any decent guards and wings on the bench.

CU needs to not panic and fall in love with the 3. Working it inside (esp Vonleh) is working well.
#21 (is that Vonleh?) is KILLING them on defense. She'd need to score 30 to make up for it.
CU has a massive advantage inside so naturally they’re trying to run and chuck a bunch of threes.
CU can’t hit the broad side of a barn.
I do like how they are pushing the ball up court. Seems like they’re trying to take advantage of CCs lack of hustle on D.

Yeah not sure how you 100% rectify that, but they need to exploit that on offense rather than get into a shooting contest with IA/Clark
Colorado is big, but they can’t shoot worth a s**t. Missing wide open looks.
They need to just feed their two bigs all day and stop with the 3’s.

Even their guards are penetrating well. I’m assuming CU’s coach has noticed that.
