Danger time.

Yep. It's over
Iowa needed to be perfect for 4 quarters and they managed it for 1 quarter, maybe 1.5.

South Carolina is loaded - their bench is loaded. I knew that rebounding would be a problem, Iowa can’t overcome just a good game from Clark she has to be all world. If Iowa has to depend totally on 3 pointers, SC won’t be in foul trouble.

Iowa would have been ahead of most teams at the half with the way they played in the first half. South Carolina is just that good. All credit to them and Dawn Staley

Talking about Cardoso's history and how she ended up in the states, no mention of her playing her freshman year at SU

Clark's passing reminds me of Sherm

Love her passing, sadly it’s a lost art.

Man, Stulke, dang..

She's dropping dimes and they're missing layups.

 

[swish7]

Clark fatigued now. Missing everything.

Her teammates are a step slow in this game and probably worried about Cardosa etc stuffing their shots.

Does anyone know about the beads Staley has been wearing? Appear to be made by a child.

nvm. Just googled it. Made at the children's hospital earlier this year and follows the color pattern a patient chose for her.

 

[orange79]

Is it her accent, or did this sideline reporter just call her "Coach Stanley"?

 

[Cuse99&01]

Iowas lack of bench is hurting them

 

[KellySyracuse]

Iowa looking tired

 

[swish7]

Bo Wiley does the 'too small' gesture. I hate that crap.

 

[orange79]

These quick turnaround jumpers are killing me.

 

[KellySyracuse]

first to 70

 

[llandz]

ok refs. Don't take this game over, please...

 

[swish7]

Iowa probably needed just 1 more player w size to really have a chance here.

 

[swish7]

Iowa should press

That’s exactly where they failed in the transfer portal last offseason

Agree. Really was hoping they'd find someone to replace Monika or even better, a true center.

Travel? Really?
