UConn's bid to reach the national championship game ended with a disputed call. Huskies forward Aaliyah Edwards was called for an illegal screen in the final seconds, preventing UConn star Paige Bueckers from getting off a potential game-winning shot. Iowa guard Gabbie Marshall collided with Edwards as Marshall tried to defend Bueckers.

Marshall spent most of her 39 minutes on the court trying to slow down Bueckers. The 2021 national player of the year needed 17 shots to reach 17 points. She’ll never know what would have happened if she had been able to get off an 18th, though Bueckers declined to blame the loss on the final sequence.
“I think I knew the ball was going to go to Paige in that moment and they were going to try and set some screens for her,” Marshall said. “I was just trying to stay on her hip, that was my mentality going into it.”
