The sports world reacted accordingly after the No. 1 seed Iowa Hawkeyes defeated the No. 3 UConn Huskies in the Final Four.
UConn cut Iowa's lead to one with 39 seconds remaining in regulation and had an opportunity to win it with 9.3 seconds after forcing a turnover. But, the Huskies were called for a offensive foul and the Hawkeyes secured the victory thereafter. UConn led by as much as 12 points midway through the second quarter -- it was the Huskies' second-largest blown lead in an NCAA tournament game since 2000.
Here's how the sports world reacted to Iowa reaching its second consecutive National Championship and the controversial foul call on UConn.To call that on a game deciding play is so wrong WOWWas an instant classic. Terrible way for the game to end though. Iowa /UConn— Angel Reese Hats offf tooo whoever's handling WNCAA right now. These girls are play the most turnt basketball ever on my mamaI DONT CARE WHAT YOU DOING EVERY BODY GOTTA WATCH THE FINALS SUNDAY. MOOOVIIIEEEEEEEWhat a game!! Normally we would all be talking about Caitlin Clark, but Iowa prevailed with a strong team effort led by Hannah Stuelke's 23 points.
The ref that called that foul should not be able to work another final four for a min! That was horrible and didn't let the players determine the outcome! I'm sick for those players... a hot mess!
