WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

- Start date
I just scrolled through today's wbb scores and saw Grambling played some school called College of Biblical Studies Ambassadors. Grambling won 159-18. It was 82-10 at halftime. Some stats: Grambling out-rebounded them 61-20; out-assisted them 31-3; out-stole them 39-1; and forced 57 turnovers versus only 5 of their own. Grambling had eight players score in double digits and the team took 119 shots (making 70). Why on earth was this team even on their schedule!?

They play their home games at a church.
Iowa with the home cookin....refs gave Iowa what, 5 questionable free throws in the last 4 minutes. Clark asking for fouls everything down the court. It gets really old. She can ball but the constant ref complaining kills it for me.
She’s obviously a fantastic player
But it amazes me nobody on national level ever calls out the inefficiency in some games. If I didn’t seek out the box score myself I would have never known she was 14-34 which is pretty mind blogging.
I haven't watched her play many times but I still can't believe during the ISU game this year how she'd just go yell at the refs and they'd change a call. It was bizarre. I mean LeBron or MJ might jaw at a ref and they'll get a call later but in hundreds of games watching them I never saw them yell at a ref and the ref changed the call of the previous play from their yelling.
Dee Kanter was officiating, that's all you need to know.
Showboat vs. showboat.
Not all the time but in the last few years she has made calls that seem to help a team/player that is in the spotlight.
Reminds me of this one time ISU was playing WVU and they got called for a foul or a turnover and one of the WVU players walked across the court to clap in a ref's face. Could not believe the ref let that happen.
That is a problem today too many officials seem to want to be friends with players/coaches and let calls go unmade so as not to upset people. I remember the call made against Baylor with seconds to go that gave us free throws that won the game. The player who made the foil did not complain ( I had great respect for her) but Kim went ballistic but I had respect for that official for doing her job regardless of the time left or the antics of a coach.
And she can be wildly inconsistent in what she calls one half versus the other half of a game.
Dawn Staley wasn't at all happy about the call. Apparently it's now ok to call out refs? Weird how that happens.
