Baylor’s DiJonai Carrington ripped the referees’ decision to swallow the whistle at the end of the game when she appeared to be fouled by UConn as she tried to give the team the lead.
Carrington dribbled to her left and tried to put up a shot over two Huskies defenders. The shot fell short and Carrington was looking for a foul, but the referees didn’t blow the whistle. Carrington finished with 22 points on 7-of-22 shooting off the bench. NaLyssa Smith had 14 points and 13 rebounds in the loss.

The no-call didn’t sit well with Carrington after the game.
"You can’t swallow your whistle when the game is on the line," Carrington tweeted. "Film does not lie."
She told reporters: "I personally don’t see it as (a) controversial call. I already saw it on the replay. One girl fouled me on my face and one girl fouled me on the arm."
