The NCAA today issued a statement that, following a review of the tapes from last night by the NCAA Officiating Oversight Committee, the result of last night’s historic upset by the Louisville Lady Cardinals over the previously top-ranked Baylor Lady Bears was being overturned due to egregious errors committed by the referees during throughout the game.
“We watched the tape and it was just clear as day,” said director of officials Mike Hunt. “The officials were simply failing to do their jobs, and we won’t allow that to rob the greatest women’s player of all-time of a chance to play for a national championship.”
When asked whether Kim Mulkey’s outburst following the game had anything to do with the decision, Hunt said, “well, have you met Kim? I can’t say that I want to be on her bad side.”
