The Women's Final Four

[sun]

Is anyone following the women's Final Four?
UConn has reached the women's Final Four for the 13th consecutive time, and they don't even have any seniors on the team.
The NCAA is really hyping freshman Paige Bueckers to become one of the new role models for young girl basketball players everywhere.
Win or lose "Paige got game!"

There were non-calls throughout the game.
Baylor's Ursine steam rolled into Bueckers and laid her on her butt hard enough to crack her head open, and no foul was called.
One player grabbed Williams wrist on a layup, and there was no foul called.
No use crying about it when the ball got stuffed on Carrington's feeble shot attempt.
She needed to float the ball but didn't make a good enough attempt to deserve a foul call.

That player Ursine had paralyzed Didi Richards for weeks by colliding into her in practice and causing a spinal injury.
Ursine acts like a bulldozer on the court.
You can see Paige take the hit after 1:22:15 on this full game video.
That should have caused a turnover but Baylor ended up getting free throws on a foul at the basket instead.

Then watch the grab on Williams wrist after 1:28:34.

Paige was named the AP Player of the Year, the first time that a freshman has ever won the award.
In the AP video, she gives all the credit to the team, and also credits other players who could have won, and how she wants to shine a spotlight on womens basketball.
She has a lot of poise.
