And she extended her leg out as far as she could thus you could almost call a tripping foul as well. The Iowa guard was taken out of the play leaving the UConn shooter completely open with an unfair advantage. Call had to be made
The foul call

Lol. Just because they have a "big name" doesn't mean they don't have an agenda/ bias.....Even some big names thought it was a bad call:
March Madness: The 5 plays that decided Iowa-UConn, including the foul no one was happy about
A bad call wasn't the only reason Iowa won, but it was definitely the game's biggest moment.sports.yahoo.com
I trust my own eyes. Not the words of some celebrities who wanted a different outcome for that game.
The girl that hit her IS built like an NFL linebacker as far as women sports are concerned.

I think they'll win because UConn gave em the game plan to guard Caitlin and they have no one who can guard Cardoso.
I didn’t think Iowa could guard Cardosa and Boston last year yet somehow won. But yeah, UConn had a good game plan and the speed to guard Clark and hold. Reminded me a bit of Minnesota guarding Mercer back in 97.
Viewership went from in the low millions to hundred thousands to probably the most watched women’s game of all time now.
Not sure how the whole game was called but they absolutely have to make that call. The NCAA is a business and has been for a while now.
Not much different than the WWE, we should understand this more than anyone.

It was very clearly an egregious moving screen. Do you have to make the call? Yes, that should be a foul every single time no matter how much time is left. No matter what team it's called on. No matter what the score is. No matter what player is involved.
Do refs miss calls like this throughout the game? Yes, but they shouldn't and it doesn't change rather or not that should be called.

We all would’ve. Everybody hates it when a game’s crucial moment is decided by a ref’s call instead of a player making a play.
But that doesn’t mean the refs should stop doing their jobs in the crucial moments just to give us better drama. Their job is to make the correct call even if it displeases the audience. And this was the correct call.
Boston had 8 and Cardoso had 14. Cardoso looks much better this year and I think their new comers are probably better than the replaced in almost cases. I don't like Staley at all so I hope Iowa wins but I'm thinking 15+ win if they use the same game plan on Clark. If they don't probably 4+. If Clark has the same shooting night as last night, 25+.
The issue is the slow mo replay they were showing was at the wrong angle and didn't show how far she stretched her legs. It's the definition of an offensive foul on screen. If you just zoom in on the main broadcast angle you can see how clear it is. This is partly on Buekers as well for running so far from Edwards to get around the screen. If Buekers brushes shoulders with Edwards then Edwards doesn't have to lunge like that.
This. And Marshal was the smallest girl out there. That was no flop.
Oh $hit.
The gamblers and the Clark haters not gonna like you reading them the rules.
Victims run on emotions. Facts don't care about feelings.
That little girl is tough as nails. She took a beating last night and kept on fighting. Impressive.
Easy on the eyes, too.
no doubt a moving screen
that would be called in the first minute of the game and should be called in the last minute of the game
As a UK fan, don’t really get the Iowa hate.
Besides one extremely talented player, they’re all non athletic, undersized, and overmatched and at every position. On paper, they have no business having the success that they’ve had. They play with a ton of heart.
I agree but my only issue is call that all the time- I see so many moving screens in each game, where somebody sticks their butt, elbow or leg out that are not called and when they do call one, everybody gets in an uproar- either call it all the time or don't call it at all
I don’t watch women’s basketball, so I have no interest in either team. It was a moving screen foul. Ref made correct call.
If LeBron took a hit like that they would have had to call an am bu lance to carry him off the floor.
Biggest flopper in the NBA and he is calling out an obvious foul where that Iowa player got creamed on a moving screen???
Lol at that big puss.
LeBron better hope no one tweets a collage of his flops in EVERY game.
You saw 40 minutes of that. How many more minutes/tries should UConn get??
Oh it’s pretty clear why they’re hated.
The uconngirl was moving as she attempted setting the scree her legs were far apart and she deleivered a football block shoulder in to the Marshall girl and she wasnt acting that was a solid lick a foul is a foul at the begiinning of a game ot at the last of a game.good call.
You've seen one angle I assume...the ones that keep complaining show, look at the other ones available. She moved 2 feet...its not even questionable
I agree and the refs called that a couple of times earlier in the game too, so there is no excuse for the screen setter to be leaning. But there were a lot of great plays during the game and a lot of terrible plays. They all made a difference. It was a good game.
I was just getting ready to post this exact same thing. It was definitely a foul and all you have to do is slow down the tape to see it. Heck, even if you didn't slow it down, I thought it was obvious. And I have no stake in this game so I'm not biased one way or the other. It was a good game, but both teams did things (or didn't do things) that put them in their particular position at the end of the game. This is one time I think the refs did okay.
Yeah, I agree. I don't understand the hate for Iowa. Is it just because of Caitlin Clark or some other reason?
I like the way you stated it. It really wasn't a "judgement" call. To me it was black and white. People should stop and think to themselves, what if my team won because the correct call WAS made and then what if my team lost because the correct call WASN'T made.
I watched the game with no bias because I have no stake in either team. I was just watching because I like basketball and have not seen a women's game this season. That was the correct call.
Completely changed the outcome. The sequence of events is burned into my mind forever
Shot clock violation allows them to tie
UK miss
Decker 3
Flop charge called on Lyles
Ball game
There’s been a lot of rules that have been put in cause of a Kentucky game the previous year. Remember when they implemented the rule that a jump ball goes to the defense automatically in 1999 cause UK had the possession arrow in the final four when Padgett got tied up at the end that would’ve helped Stanford win it?😂
Easiest call the ref ever had to make.
It was the correct call. And it wasn’t close.
You do not know that . Really a dumb statement. You call a foul because it’s a foul and it’s not dependent on any other situation.
And their opinion means nothing. No more so than anyone on here that doesn’t know the rules. Just because they have a platform to spew it on doesn’t make them right.
Sure I do, if you think a referee is going to call a weak sauce foul to prevent Caitlin Clark from taking a game winning shot to get to the title game you’re nuts.
I would’ve been upset too, because it would’ve still been a bad call.
