This just came across my twitter feed Might be my favorite wcbb vid so far this year..Love to see the SCar offering support to the opponent.Love Coach Staley's reaction.
Dawn just keeps plugging and playing until she finds the right combo. That’s our super power and what sets us apart.
Yes Jake. Carolina fans knew this 2 months ago.Looks as if FIBA expects Cardoso to play for Team Brazil in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belem, Brazil next week:
Kamilla Soares ready to bring Brazil back on the World map
BELEM (Brazil) – Kamilla Soares Cardoso hadn't been born yet during the golden age of Brazilian women's basketball, but she's now poised to return her country to where it belongs.www.fiba.basketball
Sparks also acquired Aari McDonald and the 8th pick in the sign and trade giving L.A. 3 picks out of the first 8, so there’ll still be plenty of competition she’ll need to overcome, but Aari definitely a lesser talent than Canada to compete against.
I surmised back in October Cardoso would leave for the Olympic Qualifier Tournament this week as I figured Team Brazil would want last summer’s Americup MVP on its roster. What made it interesting was Cardoso missing the UConn game to play in the OQT. Then Dawn deferring answering definitively.
He was around last night.
Second suspension of year I think.
Nope.
“Conduct detrimental to the team.” That’s all we will ever know.
I will not be sorry to see Iowa return to their natural state.
Didn’t they make a pre-Clark Elite 8 run with POTYGustafson in 2019 that would (presently) rank as their second best of recent times?
Yes they did. Ran into a buzzsaw in eventual national champion Baylor. Prior to Clark, Bluder was among the most underrated coaches in the country IMO. Iowa has been a successful program for a long time.
They also went to the F4 under CVS in the early 90s.
That's their best non-Clark season. Massey would have that 2019 team 15th in the country this year.

Dawn "gave her a few days off" earlier in year.
