I already had the impression that this team would fight through anything, and this game proves it.  All future opponents should take note.  A great victory by the whole team, with some standouts.

Thanks for the tip, Mike.

I read the AP summary updated with quotes and it seems Plum was upset about the 4th foul called against her:

"If anything it's a no-call or a foul on her. I didn't move or anything like that," Plum said (regarding the illegal screen called against her). "I think that completely changed the momentum of the game and was really unfortunate."

The worst call was Osahor's flop.  Why are PAC-12 refs SO gullible?  If a player gets hit in the chest, and then throws her head back to fall backward, it is a flop.  I remember as a young child being taught to do flips on a trampoline:  throw your head the way you want to go.
  Examples:

•  
• Flop:  3rd 3:23.  Osahor throws her head back to try to move her body backwards.
   
• Not a flop:  4th 9:31.  Collier throws her elbow behind her body, hitting Bri in the chin.  Bri's head goes back but elbow to head contact causes it.
   
• Not a flop:  4th 6:37  Kaylee is in front of UW's basket for a rebound.  Oshahor starts on the right side of the basket as she watches Plum's shot do in.  She leans into & pushes right through Kaylee and winds up at the left side of the restricted area.  You see Kaylee's feet in the air as she's pushed off her feet and to the floor.
   
• Not a flop: 1st 8:10  Brittany is on Plum who pushes her to the ground with her arm.  The official who can't see through Brittany's body calls a foul on Brittany.  The official (foreground in the live camera shot) can be seen tracking the ball doesn't twitch one way or the other.  She should have seen it and discussed the call.
   
• Not a flop: 4th 5:12 On a FT rebound, Kaylee spins around Osahor and gets inside (though low) rebounding position on Osahor.  Unintentionally(but that has nothing to do with whether it is a common foul), Osahor gets Kaylee's head under her elbow and pushes it down and back a foot or so.  Kaylee, with her head pushed back is off balance and falls out of bounds.

Anyone know why laying across an opponent's body (usually legs) is not considered a foul?  In the 3rd at 4:53, you can see Oashor reaching up between the crotch of Britt as Britt is on her knees, and then Osahor falls on UW #10 onto Britt's legs..

There were SO many uncalled fouls by Osahor, it was unreal. 

• 3rd 3:24  Brittany's arm getting swatted and knocked away by Osahor on a shot. 
  
• 3rd 3:20 (above)The Osahor great flop.  To be fair, there was a non-call that should have gone against McCall about 3:22.  If the non-call a make-up non-call, what is this call? 
  
• 3rd 2:41, Kaylee is going up for an underhand layup against her defender, when Osahor, on the outside reaches across both of Kaylee's arms.    I still can't imagine where the official under the basket was looking! 
  
• 3rd 1:55, Kaylee is just outside the inner arc with her back to the basket, and brings the ball over with two hands in a half hook.  Osahor's arm is over Kaylee's space and bounces off Kaylee's arms as she shoots.  Same officials, same result. 
  
• 4th 6:37 (above) Osahor knocks Kaylee to the ground on a rebound.
  
• 4th 5:12 (above) Osahor pushes Kaylee's head down and back on a rebound, knocking her out of bounds.
  
• 4th 4:51  Karlie pulls down a rebound with Osahor's arm between her arms.  Not a bad no call, but it could have been called.
  

Other bad calls:

• 2nd 2:05 - Why wasn't a shot clock violation called?  The ball doesn't hit the rim with 0 left on the shot clock, and the clock gets reset.
  
• 3rd 4:30 - This is a bad travelling call against UW.
  
• 3rd 1:17, Plum drives on Bri and a foul is called on, you guessed it, Bri.  Was the foul that Bri's chest was there when Plum pushed out with her right arm? 
  
• 3rd 08.5 Where were the officials looking when Marta's pass to Alanna was deflected by a good 15 degrees? 
  
• 4th 8:16  Brittney is called for a foul on a Plum shot, when the only contact(see the replay) is on Plum's hand which is on the ball:
  

  Art. 2. It shall be legal for a defender to accidentally hit the hand of a ballhandler
  when reaching to block or slap the ball when there is player control
  with that player’s hand in contact with the ball and when that player is:
  a. A dribbler;
  b. Attempting a try for field goal; or
  c. Holding the ball
