Watched this live and again here. I can understand why Baylor was upset particularly if this was not the norm. Not to defend the officials in this case, but for a high level girls/guys game in (which I've only watched not done) in FIBA - 'round these parts - most of that contact is pretty par for the course.

Obviously the slaps or intentional elbows are issue, but arms in and on/ positioning using hands/arms first and then body or foot movement is pretty often let go.

I think the toughest part of the game is that Griner isn't allowed to battle. If she puts are arm out or on because of her size and strength she's by their face and head and making space so she ends up on the recieving end all night.
