We didn’t get hosed...

SO many thoughts on this...
Their only prayer was to get us in foul trouble. Surprised they didn’t try in the first, but they definitely did in the second half. Smart. Still can’t see how we didn’t get any of their players to foul out and put them in trouble with depth.
When we got in foul trouble, we had to concede some buckets. Understand. But when we were playing lockdown D in the first half, we should have scored more.
Very disappointed and “in my feelings”, as they say, currently, so I don’t want to say anything more. I feel terrible for our girls and coaching staff. Man, they deserved it.

We totally choked. Ref's didn't help us any down the stretch, like they did ND, but it should not have come to that. Congrats to ND for beating the two best teams in the Final Four this year.
Hosed it true.
We missed too many Free Throws. We missed layups. The McCowan missed layup with under 50 seconds left in the game was horrible. AND the Refs totally tilted the game their way in the 2nd half with their calls.
The Refs played a role in the outcome of the game just like George played a role in The Beatles...George wasn't the only Beatle and the Refs weren't the only reason we lost, but the damn well played a big role.

BS. Yes, we played poorly enough so that terrible officiating could make a difference, but we most definitely got shafted. Should have been us with the ball and 3 seconds left. And I'm no even talking about the obvious foul on T's next-to-last shot.

Typical message board ignorance. It’s obvious the officials had an agenda to make it a “close game” the whole 3rd qtr. Then at the end the no call on Wm and foul on Mc was to make it go to overtime for GREAT RATINGS. I don’t think the people in control ever thought the Catholics would score. Ncaa is such ********. Nothing but $ counts.
I hate this for those ladies in maroon tonight, but I am done with college athletics. It’s very similar to what’s been going on in Washington.

Everyone needs to stop blaming the refs in 2nd half for this L.
We blew it by screwing around at FT line in 2nd half
and missing some easy shots. We had our first choke
job of the year and it happened in the biggest game.
Big T fouled the Lou girl at the end of regulation and thankfully
it was not called. If so, they probably make 1 of 2 FT shots and
we do not make it to OT.
Can not believe the times tonight (3 or 4 in 2nd half)
when we did not get off a good shot as clock ran down. Made zero
sense for it to happen but it happened a lot.
Hard to swallow that ND only scored 3 pts in 2nd Q
but still won the dang game. Unreal stat there.
Step back buddy, if we just make the plays we should have then it woulda been out of the refs hands. And most definitely ND benefited from the same late no call as we did against Louisville.

I agree. My point is that, in my opinion, we played well enough to win. We did not play our best. We did not play well enough to win by 40, but we did play well enough to win by at least 6 points and probably more. To me, officiating was the deciding factor. Not just referring to the call at the end when we were mugged going down the court; McCowan, as per usual, was often hammered with no call. My point is that you can't always play well enough to overcome one-sided officiating. Hate it happened in the championship.
Why can’t people realize that our play in the second half and the missed call are two totally separate things:
1. Yes, we played poorly after halftime. Nobody is debating that. Notre Dame is very good, so give them credit, but our big lead vanished. It sucks but it is what it is.
2. However, in a tie game in the closing seconds, everything that happened before means nothing. The only thing that matters is what’s in front of you. We got a steal and a blatant foul call was missed that cost us the chance to shoot free throws for the lead in the closing seconds.
Our poor play doesn’t excuse a horrendous officiating error. Those two things are totally independent from one another. That’s a call that absolutely has to be made.

Well that's a call that wasn't made against Louisville or we'd be sitting at the house already. The no call sucked tonight but personally I can accept the consistency.
No, you need to stop failing to grasp that we can both play poorly, allowing a bad call to cost us the game, and have the game stolen at the end by incredibly bad officiating.
As badly as we played in the 2nd half, we did deserve to have Mo at the line shooting free throws with 3 seconds left. WE GOT HOSED, and it doesn't matter how many head-in-the-sand, let's just blame ourselves people are out there.
And there were a TON of BS fouls called on us that allowed ND to crawl back into the game to begin with. How about the one where VV got called for tripping when she never even touched the girl? How many games have we had every single starter with at least 3 fouls, 1 with 4 and 1 foul out?
Total BS, and total BS that we have our own fans thinking that, because we had a letdown in the 2nd half, we didn't then deserve to have a fairly-called game at the end.

Yeah, we benefited from a no-call on Friday. But this one still should have been called. In the moment, nothing matters except Morgan got mugged and by rule that is a personal foul.
