Yesterday was the first women's game that I attended this year.
I thought the officiating was bad and there was certainly no home court advantage.
Many of the Gonzaga's fouls were from barely under control drives followed by a collapse to the floor and a whistle.
Was yesterday's officiating representative or an outlier?

That officiating was not representative.  It was particularly egregious.  In fact, the only reason I might find certain other games to have had worse officiating is that in a couple of them it was just as bad but not as even-handed.  At least this bad officiating was bad for both sides.

Tara summed it up well in her presser after the game.  She was asked something like "There seemed to be a lot of fouls.  Was it just that you were fouling a lot, or was it something to do with the officiating."  She was really at a loss for words as several clouds passed before her eyes,  before she finally said "I'm going to have to move on to the next question."  One of the reporters said something like "ya, you need to talk to your lawyer before answering that, right?"
