That was dramatic. FAU was leading pretty much the whole game, until after the buzzer sounded. Heck of a run, Owls.

Interesting they didn't call a timeout when SDSU was taking that lead from 14 to 4 in about three minutes. FAU almost made it out since they didn't actually lose the lead until the final shot, but it was odd watching that lead evaporate and May just letting them try to play out of it.

LSU pulling away again. Following on gamecast only. Looks like Iowa is in foul trouble. Clark has 4. And I've not seen her name much in the cast for the 4th

There was a play where Iowa's center picked up her 4th and then they gave Clark a T for tossing the ball to the side for her 4th. So they took away their top two players in the middle of the run and had to sit them for rest of the third quarter. Meanwhile Mulkey is allowed to be on the court the whole game and sprint at the officials after every whistle.
 
Bayou Barbie with some nice taunts also. Should have been teed up but no. LSU was the better team, way more depth, faster and shots were falling from everyone in first half.

Woof, saw video of Mulkey literally going onto the floor and bumping into a ref during play and got nothing.
 
A couple major moves to the transfer portal in the women's game

Hailey Van Lith from Louisville averaged 20 points a game. She's only a junior but graduated early and is entering as a grad transfer.

Lauren Betts from Stanford only averaged 5 points a game this year, but she was the #1 recruit in the 2022 class. She stand 6'7.

Iowa just lost their starting center and Van Lith is reportedly good friends with Clark... Although Van Lith is apparently an Adidas sponsored athlete and Iowa is a Nike school.
 
One of the top players in the transfer portal has made his commitment. On Thursday, Michigan transfer center Hunter Dickinson transfer center Hunter Dickinson on Thursday, announced his commitment to the University of Kansas via his Twitter account.
Before selecting the Jayhawks, Dickinson considered Villanova, Georgetown, Kentucky, and Maryland.
 
Bob Huggins will return to the sideline next season in the wake of using an anti-gay slur in a radio interview earlier this week. Huggins has agreed to a million-dollar salary reduction, a three-game suspension and sensitivity training.

Huggins' suspension will take place during the Mountaineers' first three regular-season games and his contract will be amended from a multiyear agreement to a year-by-year pact that will begin May 10, 2023, and end April 30, 2024.

Huggins' amended salary reduces what he makes from $4.2 million to $3.2 million. The million-dollar salary reduction is believed to be one of the biggest in college athletics.
