Went to the bar with friend and his girl and one of her friends. She ends up ignoring me

So my buddy invited me to go watch a football game with him and his girl.

When I get there he's not only with his girl but three of her friends. I'm surprised because I was just trying to watch the game but I go along with it. I mingle with them and we all have a few drinks. I can tell he and his girl are trying to get me to talk to one girl specifically we'll call Liz. They're gassing me up and trying to find similar interests between us. It seemed to go alright I talked to all of them and we are all engaging with one another but probably Liz the least just out of coincidence. We left this bar to go to another one and the two other friends split, they said bye and were friendly. Everything going good so far for a night I wasn't at all planning on having. We meet up with some of their other friend group at the other bar. I know some of them and we're cool. I'm having a good time and interacting with everyone in the group. Liz is obviously ignoring me and won't even look it my direction. So, I don't even try to engage with her because she seems disinterested. My buddy and his girl were still trying to gas me up to her and get us to interact but at this point it just seemed forced and a losing battle. She was interacting with everyone but me and they all know her better than me. They can tell she's ignoring me and this just made things uncomfortable and awkward. I was pretty lit at this point so was emotional and frustrated. I ended leaving to just escape the feeling. I probably should've just stuck it out till the end of the game because that was my original intention anyways or even tried pursuing one of the other random girls I caught looking at me but was disappointed in the result nonetheless. Probably ended up being a bad look.

Is this just a part of dating? Even if I showed something that made her not interested or there was no connection what's the point of just completely ignoring someone? Seems like there could be 100s of reasons for why she was ignoring me. What would have been the better move for me to make if this happens again in the future? For sure a growing moment for me.
