"We shot four free throws tonight, in a game that was played like that. So either Iowa plays absolutely zero defense, which isn't true, or we shot four free throws. We're not aggressive enough, I guess, getting to the rim." - Geno Auriemma

Great coaches don’t make excuses…

They got what they wanted, Iowa in the championship game, but we got to see Nika give a masterclass on defense, NY Liberty with the 11th pick choose NIKA MUHL!

Obviously Geno knows that all teams playing zone (like Iowa) foul much less than teams (like UConn) playing man defense. This is just standard Geno postgame working the media — but it’s disingenuous.

Bro had a 13 point lead and is crying about free throws

This is how every losing team goes: complain about the calls, complain about the free throws.

UCONN clearly wanted to be physical and was by far the more physical team. That game plan creates situations where there are going to be more calls against your team. At no point in that game was there anything to indicate the officials were being biased

And you let go of a double digit lead ✌🏽

Did Geno talk about blowing a 12 point lead on Clark’s worst night in 4 years? Or did he just blame someone else?

Just like the final 4 game last year. The refs called a one sided game against SC in order to get IA to the finals. ESPN/NCAA have sent the message: CC can’t be considered one of the best without a national championship. Follow the $
