azgreg girls sport is so funny, it does.not appear the refs or coaches and for the most part the girls get caught up in that too much. Men's that's likely a T🤔, girls it's play on🙃. Minimal flopping too!

    ode yea, that Angel Reese is a jerk. She made the " little " gesture after making a basket inside. So weak. Also I don't think LSU went through the handshake line, sad. But the coach should have got them and forced them to do it, so that's as much on her. One thing I like about the women is there's less posing and showing off, but it's still there

        azgreg I'm going to guess you hate bat flips in baseball as well.

        Not at all, but that seems totally different to me, but that just might be me. You OK with them not going through the hand shake line too?

          Par4QC Not sure what I'm supposed to get from that? That Clark did it too in another game? I don't like that either. But especially once you have the game won, show some class. Is that really too much to ask? Maybe today it is.

              The NCAA should be ashamed that that's the best referees they gave them, because that's not the best they had to offer, we all know that. Horrible.

              UnholyDefenestrator78 I think SD St smothers UConn but gets outgunned by Miami.

              It's been a great tournament so far. I'm hoping for a good and competitive final game. However, I feel like UConn will readily handle SDSt. They've dominated in everyone of their games.

                  I hope so! I'm rooting for them as they are from my state and I spent 2 years at the Storrs campus. As long as they keep playing hard they'll win. Whenever they take their foot off the gas they seem to get sloppy with the ball. I think it took them over half the regular season to realize that they are strong, fast and deep enough to go full tilt the whole game.

                    garyt1957 it was definitely excessive by that LSU player, she repeatedly did the face thing and then the ring thing. And it was not as if she was celebrating with her team and doing that it was directed right at her multiple times. Her teammate also called her out after the game to give LSU some respect....LOL .... It appears these girls had a chip on their shoulder re: Clark.....I would take as a compliment if I were her, that they are that bent on trying to show her up like that.
                    Iowa is a helluva team and LSU took em to the wood shed! Let the results speak for themself and enjoy the victory!

                        ode Iowa is a helluva team

                        I don't see much 'team' there. jmo
                        They won't be heard from after Clark is gone.

                          LMAO, one player does the Cena and it's classless and poor sportspersonship, the other does it and it's all in good fun and games and nobody bats an eyelash. What is different between the two players? Hmmm....
                          I'd say that you can't make this up but.......... well..........

                          In both instances, a Cena gesture was made towards a player on the opposing team as the opposing team was getting the shit kicked out of them.

                              UnholyDefenestrator78 Not exactly true. In the case of the LSU player, it happened after the game was over.

                              I don't have that much of a problem with it from either player. I did some trash talking when I played basketball, too. But the when you have just won the national championship, it makes more sense to celebrate your victory with your teammates than to waste time trying to get back at somebody that you just showed up. IMO. And if we are going to keep doing handshake lines, everybody should do it. Or, get rid of them altogether if people don't want to do it. But if you are doing it, do it. The game is over, anyway. The outcome has already been determined.

                                  I agree. I actually think handshake lines are kind of stupid, but if they're done and considered tradition do it. It should be easy if you won. I'd think there'd be some satisfaction in having the people who you just vanquished have to shake your hand. Iowa just lost a tough game and they did it. I blame the coach, get your players in that line.
                                  And yes the gesture was no where near the same. Reese followed Clark around the court continually doing the gesture to make sure she saw it as opposed to a brief moment in the heat of the game. I'm not a fan of it either way but they are definitely not the same. Not a fan of taunting by anybody.
                                  I don't mind showing emotion, like the LSU girl who was screaming after hitting a big 3 at one point. She was just celebrating a big shot, and it wasn't aimed at anybody.

                                      ode UConn with an epic run. They destroyed the field!

                                      Yes, congrats to them! I at least had a little bit more entertainment when SDSU closed the gap to six. They didn't quit and had a great season in their own right.
