Baylor ladies BB team got jobbed against UConn

[NUance]

UConn By One, To No. 80Maya Moore scored 30 points.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Maya Moore scored 30 points and No. 1 Connecticut won its 80th straight game, 65-64, holding on when No. 2 Baylor missed a last chance to score.

A record winning streak exactly two years in the making came down to the final seconds. The Huskies are now eight wins short of matching the 88-game string put together by UCLA's men's team in the 1970s.

Moore missed from the corner in the closing seconds left and the Bears rushed down court trying to get off a last shot. Odyssey Sims launched a 3 from well beyond the arc at the buzzer--it fell short but it didn't matter, it came too late.

Coach Geno Auriemma covered his head with his hands as he met Baylor coach Kim Mulkey at midcourt. LINK

Anyone here see this game? Wow! The refs made two TERRIBLE calls against Baylor at the end of the game. An offensive foul on Baylor away from the ball. And then a no-call when the shot clock ran down with 6 seconds left. The last call would have let Bayor take it out of bounds, which would have made a huge difference for the last second shot. I don’t know if these two bad calls cost Baylor the win. But at least it would have been a fair game.

I was watching that game nuance and I actually had to step away with about 10 minutes left and then came home and read about the ending. I was just glad that Baylor came back and I know Griner got off to a pretty slow start with 6 points at the half.

I was really rooting for Baylor. Wished I could have seen the calls you were talking about.

its doesn't help to use your last timeout with 10 seconds left after UCONN used a timeout. With 6-8 seconds you should be able to run the floor and get a better shot up than Baylor did.
