Okay I’m done with this. I honestly can’t believe what I am watching. They need to be ashamed of themselves. Blatantly cheating!

This is absurd. Absolutely infuriating. I feel for the West Virginia team. They’ve played a better game than Iowa and they’re not going to get rewarded at all. Hope these refs don’t advance.

Asking for a friend. Watching the WVU-Iowa game. Are the rules the same for both teams?

I literally just watched Caitlin Clark elbow the girl guarding her & they called the foul on Harrison.. bruh. Them refs didn’t like the idea of Iowa losing so they had to start BSing calls ☠️
