If you want to decide a game of this magnitude on a very suspect call be my guest. You should only have the official who made the call look at the film because they know when they saw what they thought was a foul.
Aucella,

For what it's worth, I understand your point and agree with your assessment on whether this really was an infraction that needed to have a whistle. It was a loose ball that two players were vying for...and neither had true possession of it. The Tennessee player was certainly closer to the ball...and the Baylor player knocked it through her hands...and then contact was made. Personally, I'm no-calling it and we're going into OT.
