May I say a Dad of twins daughters , I'm so in love with your family and the support and the time and support you have given her thru the years . She has made Old men Fan's of the ladies that play Basketball . I will always follow Caitlin Clark until the day it's over for me . She will continue to brake records . Thanks to Caitlin , but Thanks to MOM & DAD for such a gift to woman's Sports .

I've heard so many people complaning about sketchy ref calls on this game. Then I watch this and it's like...the refs called it right. West virginia was fouling like a mfer

Not good at sports -- never have been. Not a sports fan -- don't attend games, don't watch sports , until recently, on television. But I've discovered the best entertainment: the Iowa Woman's Basketball Team, all great players. Caitlin Clark is the Annie Oakley of our century. Thank goodness for Title Nine. I'm enjoying the evolving idea of what "womanhood" means .

WTG Iowa. It continues. But props for WV defense. Damn good.

5:56.. Right before Stuelke is dragged to the floor, watch for the "backfist" by WV 00 that nearly takes Caitlin Clarks head off. Stuelke was taken to the floor MULTIPLE times with no call? The officiating in this game was atrocious. WV has a tough defense I'll give them that, but the amount of no calls by the refs was beyond me. Letting the players play is a common statement, but then what is the point of having them on the court? Someone is going to get seriously hurt, this is BASKETBALL NOT MMA assholes.

Hey 6:33 miss announcer that was an intentional foul against Hannah look at her feet and when the arms got entangled.WV Moore meant to hurt her. Unnecessary roughness.

West Virginnia is a prelude of what to expect from LSU. Tough defense, drawing fouls, ball stealing, turnovers. GO HAWKEYES!!!!!!!!

Last two minutes,...14 minute video. I swear the ends of these games get longer and longer.

This Iowa team misses Molly D. Fingers crossed she will be healed up enough to play soon. She's the stronger option when CC needs a breather too.

As an Iowa fan, I don’t see the problem with how West Virginia played. They play a very aggressive defenses that was not “thug” like. Yes common fouls happen, but not much overly aggressive play. Hanna is an athletic 4, not a true center. She doesn’t do well with physical centers. Not her fault, Iowa needs a real center in this offense. Colorado is physical. If we win ucla and LSU are very physical. And Cardozo (if we win) after that…..the Shaq of women’s basketball. Go Hawks! Let/s stay classy folks.

After watching a few times, at 23 seconds, it looks like #33 hooks her arm under Stuelke's arm and pulls them both down on their backs.

Looks like WV was playing football. The number 33 player had Hannahs arm as she took her down

Clark is the version of Steph Curry during his high school days at Davidson..She will go a long way when she turned pro...

West Virginia has been winning games with a 'pokey' style of in your face defense all year long. Stop everyone acting so surprised that they had a ton of fouls. I also don't appreciate them being labeled as Thugs. It's their style of play and has gotten them very far with a good record. Kudos to Iowa for being gritty and pulling this one out.

I have no idea how people are saying Stuelke grabbed the WVU player. If you look at 5:54 you get to watch the WVU player hook Stuelke's arm in real time before they all get smashed together. The arguing is ridiculous. Disgusting foul there. They kept kicking the crap out of poor Stuelke.

Set more screens lady hawks hardly see any screens

Hard fought game. Hawks found a way to win. The better team won.

If only I'd been born 50 years later!!!

FWIW i watched the game, i watched the previous game that WVU played against Princeton, they (WVU) play a hectic scrambling game but they are not under enough control in their frenetic pace of play. they foul way too much, frankly had the game against Princeton not been called very loose they wouldn't have survived that game. im guessing thats the style of play that coach is teaching ,and when i was coaching i worked under a very similar manner but hands have to come from underneath, they reach straight in too much to be successful trapping unless the ref's swallow the whistle. going back and reviewing this footage i didn't see anything that was called that was "ticky-tack" and this favored WVU, only "no call" i found surprising was in the very beginning and frankly the call would have gone against WVU in that had it been whistled as typically this type of situation far more frequently gets called on the offensive player. WVU potentially could be one of the best defending teams in the tourney, but they have a few fundamental issues to overcome in order to be truly special rather than just really good.

14 minutes to show the Final 2 Minutes? Good grief.

7:22 shes got a swollon face and people are saying the fouls were uncalled for...

This game was tied at 52 with 2 minutes left in the game,after that it was a parade to the free throw line. Iowa shot 30 free throws, West Virginia shot 5. You're not going to be nobody when the free throw disparity is 6 to 1.

I don’t have a horse in this race at all - just a fan of the game - but I do not think that WVU “got hosed by the refs” at all. Consider this- WV averages 19 fouls per game, that’s a lot.. and, that’s an average- meaning they’ve had plenty of games this season with over 20 fouls. Take a look at their loss to OU, where the Sooners shot like 30 free throws. Quite simply- this is how they play their game. It seemed pretty obvious from the opening whistle that they were going to take their normal defense (19 fouls per game) up a notch to try and fluster Clark… and it did! Actually a really good strategy against a high scoring team. The problem with this style is when you don’t hit shots, and your opponent is in the bonus late. WV went cold and then had to use 4 fouls just to stop the clock. Iowa made their free throws. WV not making shots, but giving Iowa high percentage free throws. You live by the sword, you die by the sword. Overall I’d say that there were a couple of bad calls both ways. But not an “inside job” as people suggest. If WV getting called for more fouls than their opponent is somehow nefarious- then you’d have to believe the officials we’re ‘out to get them’ during 28 games this season. And that’s just not true either. WV had a good gameplan, it worked well - until it didn’t. But it was a consequence of their strategy and poor shooting, not a “screw job.” Best of luck to both teams in the future.

That OB review was not a tough one. The ball was dropping and then changed directions. Their was no need to call a classical physics expert to analyze the phenomena.

0:37 How many pivot feets are people allowed nowadays? When I played in grade school and as a freshman in high school, we were allowed only one pivot foot.

If anyone honestly watching this game in its entirety OBJECTIVELY will see that the foul discrepancy was called correctly. West Virginia was the more aggressive team defensively and the referees called it correctly. Sure, some calls got missed on Iowa but I also counted at MINIMUM 10 or 12 more calls that were missed on West Virginia. WV put Iowa in the bonus early and it cost them.

I'm all for aggressive n hard play but seemed like WV actually tried to play like they were on the outside courts in the Bronx in not in a BB arena. In WVs game before this they had over twenty fouls n now this game too. Not a look that ya want representing your school, comes across as thuggish.

WVA is a DAMN GOOD TEAM. Wow! I did not realize how good they were. The ONLY THING that will save the WNBA is if these players REPLACE the ridiculous "talent" currently in that league. The WNBA now operates as a "private political club" that FORCES OUT all the young good TALENT. TIME TO REBUILD THAT FAILING JOKE OF A LEAGUE

That is some of the dirtiest play I've ever seen ... that's NOT NCAA Basketball ... it's Street Ball

Did she say " some throat for the goat" 11:31

I keep wondering why the broadcasters think we want their opinion on fouls or other ref decisions in games. They have created the attitude that the refs are incompetent and deserve their second guesses. Shame on ESPN for this type of broadcasting in basketball and football.

Terrible call. Hook and grab, fall to the ground intentionally dragging your opponent to the ground. Lady announcers don't know jack. That's a flagrant 1, read the rules.

Know what I noticed, Clark can't shoot from the right side. She only shoots 3's from the left.

Clark gets away with a lot of offensive push off fouls

This is why all basketball is hard to watch. The last two minutes were 12 minutes and 28 seconds!

Why would you foul Caitlin Clark in a tight game? Make her pass and foul someone not as good at free throws. You definitely won't win with Clark at the line.

Number 33, W Virginia, is a sloppy, if not DIRTY player!

❤❤❤GO HAWKS🏀

Stuelke blows about 5 layups per game 😖

The coach for WV needs to take responsibility for the fact he creates this monster by encouraging them to foul almost every, single play while betting the odds, that ref's will not call them all. Clear as day, you can see foul, after foul, after foul by WV that isn't called. Often seeing in replay, like 3 going on at the same time. And not just bs touch fouls, but swinging, smacking, hitting, jabbing, etc. He needs a better strategy than foul, foul, foul, shoot. He's gonna lose all respect and that kind of crap won't carry them far. We all see the playbook now and just wait till they smash up against a bigger, more physical team who has their number. Kind of sad really, he should foster fundamentals and better foot work vs just, hit and swing.

WV Coach must start to pack his things.

Clark is great but without her Iowa is probably a .500 team, and she seems to be wearing down. West Virginia provided the blueprint for how to stop them defensively - they just didn't have enough scorers to win the game on offense. Hard to see Iowa sticking around too much longer looking at their bracket.

"These gals sure do make it look difficult" -WNBA commentator on the Family Guy.

WV lost, but played hard. ....Good effort

That is the most disgusting game I have ever seen. The officiating was terrible and nothing will ever be done about it

Officiating…..

I'm so sick of watching Iowa the Refs handed this game to Iowa look at the free throws and the non calls on Iowa . Neutral court Iowa would have lost. Refs were a disgrace.

Is there some reason why Clark's parents don't sit together at the games?

Just like Jordan.

WNBA will never let Caitlin succeed in their league…

I’m watching game but seems to me the refs did good job..maybe not great. But I’m going guess the complainers are fans of the losers..I’m a longhorn fan but iowas opponent wasn’t up to the task. Simple as that..

Amazing that she is so big yet agile.

The wholesome Midwest girls hold their own against the barbaric East Coast team, so awesome. Go Hawkeyes🤩

Then they send her back to the line. West Virginia is not very smart.

There's a reason wv has players in foul trouble it's called back off and they should have had more fouls they got by with. Iowa gets a travel call when players are down on the floor but when WV is on the floor with the ball no call.

West Virginia is flat out dirty from the coaches on down. Entire program nothing but dirty!

Haha it’s funny how WV are also wearing gold.

I thought this was a fast 2 minutes. Fouls. Time outs. Replays. Zzzzzz....

Commentators are so biased for West Virginia

Iowa was up 10 points THREE times. How in the hell was this close? Iowa doesn’t have the killer instinct and they took their foot off the gas.

It’s an absolute joke that the ncaa can’t move tournament games to neutral sites.

refs weren't calling this one fair.

Go Hawkeyes!

Please GOD...fire Beth Mowens. She is the most biased, IOWA hating sorts announcer I have ever been subjected too. We had to listen to her drivel the entire game.

Congratulations Iowa For Defeating West Virginia 64-54

I felt the lame fouls called on WV at the end was a joke, touchy or no fouls. . Yet on the other side was not called on Iowa.

Iowa embarrassed West Virginia.

I'd pay good money to see Caitlyn and Paige in a girl fight. My money would be on Paige.

WVU was crying a month ago when KState had 31 free throw attempts and WVU had 8. Last I checked Caitlin Clark doesn't play for KState. Learn to shoot, 54 points ain't gonna cut it.

charge at 45.2 no call against clark. bad game for officials.

The thumbnail for this video is the picture of a father that realizes that he is losing his daughter. Sad.

Wow 30 free throws to 5??? something stinks

The refs had to make sure America's sweetheart wasn't cast out so early in the tourney!! God forbid! Could you imagine😮

Kaitlin's dads face tells the story of the game , its like when Ohio State used fives flags in a row to beat Miami Hurricanes for a national Championship in 2002, the Big 10 got the win but nobody wants to talk about the great victory buy Ohio State .... I am surprised the big 10 will allow this to be up much longer ... Iowa got the win and years down the road nobody will remember how it went down..... its not the first time calls during the last minutes of game gave the victory to one side ... it is what it is ... Kaitlin Clark is a great player and I am glad she left Iowa with a win...

Refs cheated VW so bad

@ 9:57 - Caitlin's boyfriend?

Refs won this game

These 2nd round games are really a tough draw for visiting teams! Especially places like Iowa and S Carolina, ain’t no way your beating C Clark or her home floor! Bunch of homers for officials also!

no foul called on the rebound when wvu player was tackled out of bounds. clark wont get away with her crying act in the wnba.

The refs blowing the game in front of the world is no good for the game. The last 5 minutes of this game was horribly officiated. Right is right and Wrong is Wrong. Just sad

i never have seen a player cry as much as clark. yes she is great but come on acts like a child out there if she doesnt get her way.

Hood queens wanted to play street ball and CC showed them how to foul out in 1 easy lesson.

These women ARE ALL BETTER than anyone in the WNBA.

Like watching a boys jr. High game …I can’t 🙄

West Virginia vs Iowa, Caitlin, and Referees 😡😡😡😡

How does the last 2 mins take 14 min to make this video . Oh , I know , I watched it . Not for the game but to watch CC’ s dads fascial expression when she cry’s

Iowa skates by. Slightly better team will embarrass them!

5-14 is great the trailer park's volume chucking won out again. It's only a matter of time Iowa isn't a good team definitely should've added a few better players from the portal last off season. Then they would've take some shots away from trailer park highlighting her inefficient play.

I feel sorry for WV, I hope Iowa loses, period. Where there is a winner there is always a loser.

The officiating in women’s basketball is as poor as is the athleticism of the great majority of the players. The skill required to play good basketball is beyond the ability of most females. If the officials called every foul in the games, they would foul out both teams by halftime.

Yeah the fest stole the game for caitlyn cbark

As per Twitter, it looks like about 90% of those watching the game outside of Iowa & WV express the opinion that WV was hosed.

refs like these are why womens game is a JOKE
