Somewhere in Hollywood you hear 👂the director yelling Cut, let’s take it from the top!

For roughly two hours last night we were entertained by Women’s College Basketball at its best. Game 2 of the night gave us everything one could ask for with Iowa and Connecticut playing the roles of New Money 💰 and Old Money 💰.

For years people pulled against UCONN because Geno was winning too much but since Stewie pulled off her Four Peat roughly a decade ago, the Huskies have not been able to cut down the ultimate nets. Caitlin Clark has reached the Hearts 💕 of so many Americans over the past two seasons because she is not only super talented , she’s very likable to boot.

Caitlin and Paige , Hawkeyes and Huskies delivered the goods from start to almost finish last night. The game was far from perfectly played but it didn’t need to be. The energy in the building had me wondering what it would have sounded like in say, Lucas Oil Stadium 🏟 ?

America was watching a game being played with no villains. UConn was playing in the Final Four despite having lost FIVE players to season ending injuries and Iowa played with a balanced team led by a Generational player in Clark.

Just like the script of a Hollywood movie 🎥, the game was played with twists and turns. Clark was facing the ultimate team defense and Iowa was on the verge of getting blown out early.

In the second half Iowa stormed back and the crowd got into it. For a moment it looked like the Hawkeyes would end the doubt of the outcome but the Huskies wouldn’t go away.

The game was down to one possession and UConn had the basketball 🏀 with 10 seconds remaining and down one point. The trio of former Huskies hosting the AT&T broadcast on ESPN2 all seemed bummed that their former Coach called a time out to set up the final play.

My mind immediately went back to the movie Hoosiers and I pictured Paige telling Geno, “I’ll make it,” just like in the film 🎥. Sadly for all of us watching and waiting for the SHOT, we were all left with an offensive foul call 📞.

One of the most entertaining moments in the recent history of the game of basketball 🏀, possibly the second coming of Duke – Kentucky back in 1992, ended with a whistle for an illegal screen.

Unlike the folks who will take to “Social Media” and state with 1000% certainty that it was or was not a legit call at the time, I just know that if I was directing this show in Hollywood, I would have yelled “CUT”, let’s take it from the top.

Paige was once again a Class Act in the post-game press conference, choosing to take the high road by saying she could have played better during the game to avoid it coming down to one call. Great sound bite available out there.

Now we move to Sunday afternoon when once again we should have a game for the ages. Dawn Staley looks to Coach her team to what would be the 10th undefeated National Champion in Women’s Basketball while Clark will be trying to write ✍ a Hollywood ending to her career at Iowa.

Let’s hope that one comes down to whether one shot 🙏 falling or not falling as well with one difference, having the shot take place.
