This isn’t a controversy. This is the worst forward progress ruling in the history of the rule. Absolutely embarrassing.
Here’s my shot of that controversial non-fumble call. Remember, they ruled forward progress had stopped, so it was not reviewable.

Anyone who actually watches WBB closely would see Ciara Duffy of South Dakota is one of the top players in the country. She’s averaging 17.4 pts, 5.9 rebounds and has 125 assists. She’s also one of the top defenders on the team. Don’t ignore a well rounded mid-major player

I might be in the minority, but the phrase "Consolation Championship" is an oxymoron that needs to go away.......The word championship should be used only on one side of a bracket. It's OK to play for 5th place and not call it a "championship"....
