As far as the intentional, the lead was kind of out of position for that kind of foul and indeed had a common foul first and then changed it to an intentional at the end due to the way the play hit the floor. I think the C should have had a whistle as well. Maybe they did. Couple of times UCONN had the ball in the paint and clearly traveled and there was no call. I think the whistle should have been blown a bit more and maybe there would have not been an intentional foul. Also, did you see the UCONN player swing at the Rutgers player?

I didn't see the UCONN player swing, I did see the Rutger player shove the UCONN player after Denise calls a foul on the Rutgers player. She also sees the shove and just moves straight in between the players from the C slot. Rutgers was definitely more physical last night. I think there was one screening play where Vaughn or somebody almost had the UCONN defender in a choke hold trying to come off of that screen. Also an obvious PC when Tina Charles hooks her defender in the lane to get by her then gets a touch foul. None of it played into the outcome. UCONN wanted it more.
