I don't doubt that in any sport at any level there are referees that tend to favor certain teams. I don't doubt that Bammer has gotten some breaks. But it seems for Bammer to always get the favor in all sports takes a bit more conspiracy than I'm ready to go for.

sec politics has insured that at least 2 sec teams are at the top of the rankings.
All it takes us one or two bad calls to keep a 2 loss team from beating an undefeated bama.

As Coach Dye said 40 years ago, when you need a yard for the 1st down against bama, you better get three.

As Vrede said 10 years ago: If you're not good enough to beat the refs, you're not good enough.

Caitlin Clark passes Lynette Woodard for major-college scoring record

The black-and-gold-clad fans among the 14,625 at Williams Arena were virtually begging for one more 3-pointer from Caitlin Clark late in Wednesday's game, and she delivered for another historic mark.

Tickets were the costliest ever for a women's game, including the WNBA and Final Four. Might be even more for the next game that will likely see her topping Maravich. Perfect that it's at home and is the final regular season game! ESPN says:
Sun, Mar 3 vs 2 Ohio State
1:00 PM FOX
Tickets as low as $281
Idk how $281 compares to the Minnesota game or others in history. I think I used to pay $5 for Lady Griz games.

The Iowa guard continued her record-breaking quest as she passed Kansas Jayhawks legend Lynette Woodard for the major-college women's basketball scoring mark in the No. 6 Hawkeyes' 108-60 victory over Minnesota.

Clark scored her 33rd and final point of the game on her eighth 3-pointer, coming at the 4:29 mark of the fourth quarter, to give her 3,650 points. Woodard, who played in the final years of the AIAW from 1977 to '81, scored 3,649 points....

Clark also broke the NCAA women's single-season 3-point record in Wednesday's game; she is now at 156 for this season, and 503 for her career. As a team, Iowa hit a Big Ten single-game record 22 3-pointers and had its 10th 100-point game of the season. The Hawkeyes are 25-4 overall and 14-3 (tied for second) in the Big Ten.

Clark got the 17th triple-double of her career as well, adding 12 assists and 10 rebounds to her 33 points. She is second only to Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu, who had 26 triple-doubles from 2016 to '20. It was Clark's sixth triple-double of at least 30 points, the most in Division I history. Iowa has won every game in which Clark has had a triple-double....

Clark broke the NCAA women's scoring record of 3,527, set by Washington's Kelsey Plum, on Feb. 15 against Michigan. As she did Wednesday, Clark broke that mark with a 3-pointer.

Next up for Clark: the NCAA overall scoring record, men's and women's, of 3,667 points. That was set by LSU's Pete Maravich from 1967 to '70, playing just 83 games in the days before freshman eligibility in college basketball....

x 3,650!
