The controversial finish to Friday’s national semi-final between Iowa and Connecticut ended one of the most anticipated games in women’s college basketball history on a sour note and kicked off a furore on social media.
Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes held on for a 71-69 win in the women’s Final Four before a sold-out crowd at Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, aided by a disputed offensive foul call on Aaliyah Edwards on the Huskies’ final possession as they trailed by one point with five seconds remaining.
