#11 Purdue vs #6 Iowa - 3/10/21

[JordyG]

Except for the one that beat UConn.

The exception that proves the rule?

 

[LETTERL]

Purdue takes the lead...before Czinano hits a shot for Iowa.

Good game!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pretty hard to believe, as much scoring as Czinano has been doing, (I'm assuming mostly in the key) she just shot her first FT.

 

[JordyG]

Bottom line, this Purdue team has been very physical against Clark and it's shown in her poor shooting.

 

[JordyG]

The Purdue posts are so tired now they've finally resorted to holding Czinano

 

[JordyG]

The Purdue posts are so tired they let Czinano beat them down the floor for and easy two. They've been bumped and bruised from that wide body to the point of weariness

If Iowa wins they will play Rutgers tomorrow. That will be a good test for Clark.

7 win Boilermakers have picked their poison and in spite of Czinano has been a solid strategy for 3 quarters.

Will Clark break out down the stretch?

 

[Viet Vet]

What team presents the biggest threat to UConn?

To me........................Texas A&M.

To me........................Texas A&M.

I love Blair and A&M's team but they aren't a sexy pick to me for multiple reasons. The Georgia game illustrated some of my concerns as well.

Maybe they end up proving me wrong. Some of this comes down to matchups per say.

Clark’s passing is sweeeeeet!

It looks like Purdue's poor conditioning will be the breaking point in this game. That aside from the fact that they're an awful team.

I see Iowa beat Rutgers in a close game very early this season. Clark had 28 in an unusually high scoring game for Rutgers. 2nd matchup with Rutgers was cancelled. Stringer's teams tend to get much more defensive as they get better throughout the season. I've notived Rutger's opponents scoring has dropped as the year has gone on. It will be a very interesting game tomorrow.

 

[Gurleyman]

What team presents the biggest threat to UConn?

To me........................Texas A&M.

Stanford leaps to mind, but Baylor would be an Elite Eight problem. Feel like Smith would be a tough matchup at the 4, and DiDi Richards and her wingspan could be a tough matchup on defense.

 

[Blueballer]

How many point blank shots has Purdue missed in this game?

 

[JordyG]

The Purdue team has missed more bunnies than a blind Elmer Fudd.

 

[JordyG]

How do you count that bucket? That's a clear offensive foul.

 

[JordyG]

How many point blank shots has Purdue missed in this game?

I must admit that your handle leaves me a bit, well, unsettled.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Baylor has their own issues but a Baylor team with a Smith and Egbo playing at a high level right now would be tough for anyone. Their length and physicality defensively is challenging to deal with.

Stanford is really really good obviously and really are the complete package.

 

[JordyG]

The contact was incidental.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Clark with 23 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds w/ 1 steal

As much as her shot struggled to fall at times, she certainly created for her teammates.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa pulling away late. Czinano knocking on the door of 40. She and Clark have combined for 65!

 

[SECbbfan24]

Clark is 1 assist away from a double double. Just throw the ball to Czinano

 

[Shades]

Clark is in the groove now. Scoring at will.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clark is in the groove now. Scoring at will.

I think she was 3-14 at one point. Now shooting a respectable 8-20.
