Cant believe this wasn’t put on ABC

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I am actually watching because of LSU. If they weren't playing I wouldn't be watching.

Same for me, I wouldn’t be watching otherwise.

 

[Amb3096]

The inability of LSU's guards to make shots is pretty much what's killing LSU right now. They can smother Reese and Morrow because no one else in purple is making them pay.

 

[ttharp]

Same here, Iowa guards doing a good job of team boxing out.

Yeah, they are. Kim needs to draw something up for Aneesah. Can’t just rely on her out rebounding opponents.

Clark is just having fun with VanLith now. She does remind me so much of Larry Bird. He too was competitive to a fault and a total butth*le to play against.

Ok, the 4,999,999 other viewers feel differently.

If you can do it, then why not?

She makes them, it is good for her team, she misses them, not so much. She doesn't even look for the other players at times, just throws up a prayer. Lucky for Iowa, LSU has gone cold shooting.

The fact that she takes them and makes so many of them. is part of her game. The play when Reese was guarding her after the steal, you could see the gears turning in Angel's head as soon as Clark crossed midcourt knowing she might pull up at any point. That hesitation lead to an easy assist from Clark. Without that risk, she becomes easier to guard.

I prefer good basketball not just watching to see how far away someone can make a basket from.

 

[VolBall09]

Uh oh!


Is Iowa about to get hosed by the officials again?

Also, they need to quit taking quick, bad shots not.

 

[Amb3096]

Nice run from LSU to cut into the lead.

 

[VolBall09]

Big call on Morrow there

The fact that you don't consider the show Clark is putting on as "good basketball" tells me all I need to know. Thanks!

 

[VolBall09]

Courtney Vandersloot and Ticha Penechairo will always be my favorite passer, not Sue.

 

[Voltopia]

Iowa can shoot themselves into leads, and Iowa can shoot themselves out of leads.

 

[StickMan]

About this time last year I came on this board and proclaimed that Caitlin Clark is unlike anyone the women's game has ever seen. I received some criticism and later retracted my claim because I really hadn't seen her play enough. Well, I am now retracting my retraction. Anybody who doesn't acknowledge her greatness either has no clue what they're seeing or has an agenda.

The Relentless Rebounding Reese. Just unbelievable. Her brain should be studied. Never been a rebounder like her in WBB.

No question Clark is at the peak of her game.

For both players to do this under this kind of pressure is just uncanny.

 

[VolBall09]

Every one of those from HVL has given Kim a wrinkle this season. And she’s got a lot of em.

 

[Amb3096]

Some costly turnovers from HVL. She looks close to tears.

 

[VolBall09]

You see that defense on the 3 from Iowa there? That’s what great end of possession D looks like. Never gave Johnson a good look at it and contested without fouling.

Esp under the basket rebounds

As per usual.

Someone get the girl a tear catcher. She can fill it before the weekend is over if they somehow win.

They are completely ignoring Clark’s passing and assists.

 

[Amb3096]

Changing my prediction. I know, controversial. But at this point, it's Iowa's game to lose.

If they do advance and have a let down against UConn, and the unthinkable happens, I will damn raise Cain!

You are correct they are getting wide open looks. Iowa is not coming out of that zone because they know LSU is not a good outside shooting team.
