The national championship game in women's basketball last spring was unforgettable for a lot of good reasons.
The game will also be remembered for its controversial officiating and The Associated Press has learned that an NCAA review concluded the refereeing did not meet expectations.
The organization had planned a review of NCAA Tournament officiating after the 2024 championship concludes next April, but it was sped up by a year after criticism of the LSU-Iowa showdown.
“Doing that assessment was a good step showing that they are trying to address it.”The NCAA review was conducted by the Pictor Group.
In the past, some of the NCAA Tournament officials would also work WNIT games.
