LSU-Iowa rematch about to shatter WBB ratings records

Should be in the Final Four. This Albany region is insane lol

LSU should have played a decent OOC schedule and got a higher seed.

 

[glv98]

Grandma Clark for the Oscar! Oh the absolute agony of being touched on the arm! Face like she'd been stabbed.

Don’t think they deserved a higher seed, but should have been in a different region. Makes more sense to put LSU in Portland. Instead SC, LSU and Iowa are all on the same side.

 

[Rixxx]

I was surprised how mightily the LSU guards outplayed UCLA guards. IMO, the story of the game.

 

[Rixxx]

Also, I think Reese needs another year of college to expand her game. She has no outside shot.

I don’t think so. LSU and Iowa are in the same bracket, SC wouldn’t play either team unless it’s in the Finals.

Forget think I KNOW she needs another year of college to improve

 

[ttharp]

This Iowa-LSU matchup is about to be EPIC! Can’t wait!

 

[Ladyvolfan4life]

I’d take JR Payne to TN. I think they said she has been to the elite 8 3 times? That’s more than Kellie.

 

[knoxvol52]

For all you Caitlin Clark haters, she will performing again Monday.

Iowa up 68-47 AFTER 3.

What did she say to UCLA’s bench and coaches when she fouled out. Don’t think it was appropriate whatever it was anyone know.

Good I actually want the LSU matchup anyway this game is must see TV. it is going to outdraw any NBA game that night

 

[creekdipper]

Did you watch the Lady Vols when Candace, Shannon, Lex and Nicki played at UT?

Yes, and we saw Summitt call Bobbitt to the sideline as nd chee her out for taunting.

Clark often gets compared to Steph because of the long 3s but she is more like Steve Nash (for the old timers), Same uncanny court vision and ability to make the pass no one else even thinks about,. Great body control and ability to hit what appear to be off balance shots and sneaky quickness, I think she was only 3 for 12 from 3 today but found other ways to score. She will need to be more locked in against LSU, who won't give her 20 easy paint points. Player for player, LSU would seem to have the stronger team so Iowa as a team will need to be on fire from outside to have a chance at winning., Iowa is undersized and thin at post which does not bode well.

I would expect LSU to be the betting favorite but I am betting that legacy aware Clark puts up a game for the ages.

Iowa is the higher seed and will be expected to win, but Angel Reese will have LSU ready to shock the world.

I was at the games again today and the Iowa fans have to be the most obnoxious. I was surrounded by them except for like, 4 LSU fans that stayed to watch after their game and I was telling the LSU fans I'm going to be a LSU just for Monday out of spite.

Honestly to see CC live for the first time today I wasn't all that impressed. Yes, she can score and pass but I didn't see her working hard defensively (as usual) and there was a lot of her typical whining. And her 3pt shooting was abysmal. Honestly I wasn't overly impressed with Iowa's defense as a whole. Granted, Colorado couldn't buy a bucket half the time, but they were still out hustling Iowa constantly for rebounds and loose balls.

Say what you want about Angel Reese (who I also don't like), but at the game today she was hustling on both ends as well as being a productive scorer.

Her outside shooting was off but that was an atypical game. She picked up two early fouls and was left in the game with instructions to not take undue risks

It's going to be quite an event and enormous pressure on two very young people. They've both gained a sh*t ton of life experience since this time last year but these are huge expectations. I bet they play nice in the lead up, we both love the competition, good for the game, etc. Will be interesting to see which can actually keep a cool head during the game.

Zero people will be shocked if LSU wins. Alot will be disappointed though. Us against the World wears thin quick when it's coming from the reigning Natty, plus the self proclaimed biggest bag team in the universe.

I was there, too, though mostly surrounded by LSU fans, who complained at every single whistle against their team but also complained that they wished Van Lith had stayed at Louisville.

I’m sure things will be fine but I don’t mind trash talking if that’s what both teams decide.Last year has nothing to do this this season. Iowa is the number 1 seed and LSU will be the u deed of and have the world against them. If you’re the number 1 seed and u have what people on here like to call her the best player ever they shouldn’t lose, LSU is going to have to play their games and limit the mistakes to win But I think they can do it but I’m sure I’m the minority.

Oh yeah, the LSU fans were annoying af and their constant whining was annoying too. I'm just a petty b*tch so I want to see Iowa lose to LSU (again) and then LSU lose to SC (again). And then SC can lose in the finals.

Color me completely unsurprised about their opinions about HVL. She couldn't buy a bucket today; she's definitely the weakest link when she's on the floor. But I can't say I'm shocked. She wasn't exactly setting the world on fire at Louisville.

Iowa is going to have real problems matching up with LSU, particularly in the post. At this point, seeds go out the window and it comes down to matchups and most favor LSU. Iowa needs a great 3pt shooting night if they are going to advance or LSU has one of their disarray games...
