I am shocked she did not get T'd.

She should've, there's no doubt.

Baylor's still going to escape. Louisville's trying to give Baylor the game.

And Tennessee is the happiest team of all. Well, except for Louisville, of course.

There is a lot to watch or clip in this game. I was not impressed with several plays in the last 3 minutes of the game I saw.

The charge call where Mulkey lost it is the exception that proves the rule about players going to the ground. That should've been a no call even with both players on the ground.

Then I thought they weren't going to call a foul at the end when Griner almost knocked the Louisville player in the front row. And then they called it really late, almost after the fact.

She didn't even displace her. Basically the way the Louisville player flopped, the contact was more with the legs of the Baylor player. I just hated that call, HATED IT!!! And to come from the trail, and very late after it appeared the play was over was worse. Trust your damn partners.

Exactly how I felt. Hated the call and where it came from.

And I'm glad they showed restraint and did not T the Baylor coach there. She lost it for a second but she stopped herself from tossing her jacket and her assistants did a good job of getting her back under control.

But they just T'd up the UL coach for something and the BU coach went off. I will admit I kind of enjoyed that part, but was shocked they let it go. This is why that first T better have been a good one or something was said that was so over the top it had to be called. But the actions by the BU coach could not have been much worse. Very inconsistent if you ask me.

Worst officiated game in either tournament.....Louisville made that into a street fight and officials didn't step up.....

Looked like he didn't want to call a foul there at the end.

He wanted to go with an out of bounds call. Had to call that foul.

He absolutely DID NOT want to make that call. Not only did he "double clutch" on the fist...he wanted until AFTER the ball was bouncing up after landing out of bounds.

It was the latest I've ever seen a call made on an "obvious" and "must call" foul. It was correct. And. It. Was. Exceptionally. Late.

Just saw the game package on ESPN - thought it was a flop. Rare to hear comments like Mulkey's during the press conference. She pretty much put the loss on the officials.

Which was complete rubbish, even though I think the charge call was wrong. They had the ball right after that, got the lead, and then had to commit a transition foul because their defense was a sieve.

I don't think she puts the loss on the officials. She initially tried to say Griner didn't commit a foul on the last shot but then a reporter tells her it was a foul. I think mostly her griping was aimed at the terrible PC call, the poor job the officials did in putting a whistle on physical plays early in the game, and the obvious taunting T that should have been called on Louisville after an "And-1". From the clips I saw I would say this game will not make any of these officials retirement videos.
