Will be three females. The reverse sexism in the officiating of the women's game is sick. After all the complaining about not getting a decent shot at men's games, it is ironic to see how those in charge completely shut out males with their choices.

Brenda Pantoja is from out west. Don't know the names of the other two, but I recognize them.

Seriously??

3 deserving female officials on the floor to work the WOMENS championship game and 3 deserving male officials on the floor to work the MENS championship game...what's the problem?

Great held ball call at 4:27. Classic women's game.

Classic only in that UConn is blasting the opposition by 20.
This has frequently been the case over the past two decades. The top team is far better than the rest of the competition and it makes for an anti-climatic finish to the season. How many something and 0 teams have there been in the last 20 years in the women's game?

The ND/UCONN game was the Championship game. UL is not being allowed to beat on players like they were against certain teams from Texas. They can't match up any other way with UCONN

They certainly played very well the first half!

Guess they're trying to play spoiler and break-up the Louisville double-championship that UCONN enjoyed a few yrs ago.

to answer the question - its Brenda Pantoja, Lisa Mattingly, and Denise Brooks who are working the game. . .

And in response to Nevada's rant - the moment that the NCAA gets out of the dark ages and allows women to regularly work mens' games at the Div I level, including the tournament - no MAN has any right to say squat about how we get the short end of the stick. . .

Geno wants to DESTROY Louisville. If he doesn't win by 40 I think he'll still be angry.

The problem is there just aren't as many high level D-1 caliber female players as there are males, so the talent pool is going to get thinned out after the UConns get their top picks.

The same phenomenon happens at the high school level, and you see the same half dozen or so teams winning championships and winning with a few 60 point margins in the season.

In many ways, it's not much different than the state of the men's game 30-40 years ago.
