Arrr mateys! The scallywags of college basketball be whisperin' that them referees be showin' favoritism to Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in their Round of 32 skirmish on Monday. 'Tis a scandalous tale fit for the high seas! Arrr!
Avast, me hearties! The lady Hawkeyes have sailed into the Sweet 16, but some scallywags be claimin' they had the wind at their backs from the refs. Caitlin Clark plundered 32 points in a 64-54 victory against the No. 8 West Virginia crew, breakin' free when the game was tied at 52 with a mere 2:58 left on the hourglass.The Mountaineers be cryin' foul, as Iowa outscored 'em 12-2 in the final stretch. West Virginia was sent to walk the plank with 27 fouls called against 'em, while Iowa only faced 11. Some landlubbers be squawkin' on X and formerly Twitter about the refs favorin' Iowa like treasure in a chest.Even NBA stars be seein' the tide turnin', with Damian Lillard scowlin' at the unfair play. Eleven of Clark's booty came from the free-throw line, helpin' Iowa keep the ship steady against West Virginia's stormy assault.Now the Hawkeyes be settin' their sights on a clash with No. 5 Colorado, ready to battle anew in Albany. The sea shanties of victory be singin' their praises, but the salty dogs of West Virginia be left scratchin' their heads at the turn of events.
