I had to leave the house after that ISU/A&M game and I really didn't care who won. The officiating was SO bad and unfair to ISU. It was infuriating. Why bother playing the game if you are just going to strut around and make calls that so obviously favor one team?

The criticism of the NCAA's obvious sexist treatment of women's basketball mentioned the unequal COVID tests, the unequal weight rooms, and the unequal food.  But it should also have noted the unequal officiating.   Of course, the bad quality of officiating in WBB is decades old, not something new during the COVID tournament.  I wonder, do they pay the refs of the women's game the same as they do the refs of men's games?

Very good question, 81. I would be shocked if they are getting paid the same as the men. 

And perhaps the bad quality of officiating in WBB is decades old because we still have most of the same refs we were seeing before the members of this team were even born.
