LeBron James, more react to Baylor getting screwed by the refs in Elite Eight loss to UConn (Video)

UConn women’s basketball didn’t get called for a foul at the end of their Elite Eight win vs. Baylor and there is plenty of controversy about the ending.

The NCAA Women’s basketball tournament featured an instant classic in the Elite Eight between the No. 1 UConn Huskies and the No. 2 Baylor Bears.

Unfortunately, the game was marred by a controversial ending.

Baylor was down 68-67 and had possession in the waning seconds of the game following missed free throws from UConn. Guard DiJonai Carrington had the chance to potentially win the game but missed the shot after appearing to get fouled.

Yet, the officials did not give them the call, forcing Baylor to foul UConn, who made one of two free throws and had 0.8 seconds remaining to get off a shot to win it.

The inbounds pass was intercepted and UConn advanced to the Final Four for the 13th consecutive year.

In the postgame, Carrington didn’t think it was a controversial non-call. It was an obvious foul in her mind saying, “I personally don’t see it as a controversial call. I already saw it on the replay. One girl fouled me on my face and one girl fouled me on the arm.”

Even legendary UConn star Swin Cash was among those who thought the refs let the Huskies get away with one at the end.

ESPN’s Maria Taylor thought it was a foul too.

Jay Bilas called the non-call “stunning.”

J.J. Watt didn’t directly on the non-foul call but was entertained by the thrilling game nonetheless.

What do you think about the non-call? Was it a good time for the refs to swallow their whistles and “let them play” or was this a case of UConn getting the benefit of the doubt because they are UConn and Baylor has a legitimate gripe on their hands?
