Someone already posted two loss odds of winning go up on a six point loss. The pick contest.
As they said on the price is right what's the highest bidder.
Guessing 1,3,4 would have to be perfect guess odds not in your favor.
Still hope Tennessee wins tonight but here's my guess if there's a bad Moon rising for the Lady volunteers in Iowa.

Hopefully we shoot the ball well today and get to the line and make some free throws. We could win this game by 20 if the shooting comes around. It will come down to how well we shoot the ball as we will win the rebounding and turnovers I believe.

Haven't been this excited for a LV game in a long time. Hope the team is ready for this spotlight. A win would be a tremendous boost to the launch of the KC era. I think it will be very interesting how much pressing/platooning vs conventional play KC rolls with in this game. Did the FSU game cause a shift in strategy?

I think it's situational. On paper, Iowa is a team we should be able to run to death. As long as we hit a decent % of 3s we should be able to control the tempo by setting up the press.

Even if we don't control the tempo and get slowed down, it's great to know we can do so well offensively in the halfcourt. It helps a ton that Coop has become such an efficient and effective 1 v 1 player and Spencer such a smart facilitator. Coop has now earned herself a full paragraph on the opponents scout sheet.

On that basis, and bc the odds on our having a decent shooting game are long overdue, I predict 87-76 LVs.

I agree that the key to this style really working is hitting a better % from 3 than we have been. Hopefully that happens tonight.

If not, we have alternatives. IMO the 4th qtr of the FSU game was huge for this team in showing them that.

I knew Coop would be good just from watching her practice a few times last year. But I didn't know she'd be this level of a go to. That is also huge for this team.

If they stay out of foul trouble I would look for Cooper, Spearman, Spear, and Spencer to get over 25 minutes today. Cooper might play thirty she is really the team leader right now.
