Welcome to episode 25 of Spencer and Mom Talk Sports! In this episode, we dive deep into the exciting conclusion of the NCAA Men's and Women's Final Four tournaments. We discuss the standout performances of the players, the ups and downs of each team's journey to the final games, and the intense emotions that come with such high-stakes competition.

Mom also takes a critical look at the officiating in the women's national championship game, which left many fans and analysts frustrated. She recommends that officials should have to hold a press conference after games to talk about their calls. Spencer and Mom examine the calls and non-calls that affected the game and discuss the implications of bad officiating for the future of women's basketball.

In addition to the on-court action, we delve into the controversy surrounding Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese's hand gestures and trash-talking during the tournament. We explore the different perspectives on what these actions mean and what, if anything, should be done in response. (hint: not a dang thing)
