I was in another thread posting, and wondering how Clark got 16 attempts, as that seems like a lot. The disparity of 17-9 pts in overtime was a bit of a surprise.This was one of the first games that the refs actually did a good job with the foul calls. They didn't protect Clark like I've seen in some of the Big 10 games. Didn't like it at the end where the fans rushed the court, someone could have gotten hurt. Got to give it up to Kevin he did a good job coaching. In overtime the only player that scored for Iowa was Clark, while Ohio State had 4 different players score.
IMO the refs were too active and inconsistent. 47 fouls, many of them “touch fouls” does not make for a good game. But both teams had their chances down the stretch and OSU converted. Wonderful crowd in the arena as well.This was one of the first games that the refs actually did a good job with the foul calls. They didn't protect Clark like I've seen in some of the Big 10 games.

What the heck is wrong with people? That fan didn’t even stop to make sure Caitlin is OK. (She is. She was in the press room after the game and said she just got the wind knocked out of her)
Clearly two people not watching where they are going in that clip.Some idiot with their phone raised high in the air to record the event. Not watching where they are going. Phones have caused more injuries than any modern device.
What I was talking about doing good on the foul calls is they called the game evenly, not one sided like they have done in previous games that Iowa was playing.IMO the refs were too active and inconsistent. 47 fouls, many of them “touch fouls” does not make for a good game.

Only one person should have been on that court and it wasn't the guy with the phone. I think the Big 10 should fine OSU for the fans action after the game. There should be no fans on the court until at least the opposing team has left. They are lucky that Clark wasn't seriously injured.Clearly two people not watching where they are going in that clip.
Do you want fans to get excited about women's basketball or not? There have been court and field stormings for generations in the men's game and football. That one was very mild.Only one person should have been on that court and it wasn't the guy with the phone. I think the Big 10 should fine OSU for the fans action after the game.

Rarely will a fan storming a court in the men's game or football game outweigh the person. The guy that ran into Clark was a good 50 lbs heavier and running full speed. Like I stated earlier they need to put a stop to it for the safety of the players.Do you want fans to get excited about women's basketball or not?

It was a man? The X video was not very clear, but it looked like a woman no taller than Clark. She was knocked down too. Is there other video that makes it clearer?Rarely will a fan storming a court in the men's game or football game outweigh the person.

I have watched virtually all of Iowa's games this year and I just haven't been left with the impression that Iowa has benefited from one-sided refereeing. Unquestionably players such as Caitlin (and Paige) will get more calls, but your statement is just not representative of what neutral fans would recall.not one sided like they have done in previous games that Iowa was playing.
Ahhh, the deepest cut of all for that Buckeye fan: not only will he/she likely get "called on the carpet" in some way, the millions who have seen his/her action aren't sure what gender he/she is. No matter, it just goes to show both men and women can act non-sensibly.It was a man? The X video was not very clear, but it looked like a woman no taller than Clark. She was knocked down too.

They can get excited in the stands. This country's history is rife with dumb traditions that should be left in the past.Do you want fans to get excited about women's basketball or not? There have been court and field stormings for generations in the men's game and football. That one was very mild.
Excuse me, Big Fan, who is 'she?'She hoisted 53 or their 91 shots - pretty typical she has been running just over 50% of all of their shots this year. Even with better refereeing she went to line for 16 foul shots- wow.
Ok, I'm watching a replay of the game now and while the reffing appears to be pretty reasonable, in the final minute of the 1st quarter I saw a ridiculous touch foul out near the logo called against Caitlin's defender. It's just one call, but there's no way that gets called if it's not Caitlin -- not even Paige. Sorry, @The deacon. It's not like these calls happen all the time. But even just a few of them can "set a tone" for a game that becomes an unfair advantage. I'll be watching to see if this continues or is isolated.I have watched virtually all of Iowa's games this year and I just haven't been left with the impression that Iowa has benefited from one-sided refereeing.
