Clark is this year’s Morgan William. This game had some parallels to the State-connecticut game six years ago.
USCe has been dominant somewhat similar to the Huskies (obviously for not as long).
Iowa was similar to State in that they are a very good team though Iowa is much more offensive oriented team whereas State was a defensive minded team.
The elephant being the win streak. That is a heavy burden to carry plus when the game gets close USCe started playing not too lose and that gets you out of your usual confident mindset.
All that said, congratulations to Iowa and that sets up what should be great finale with LSU. Two evenly matched teams.
Biggest concern for Iowa ? Can they put this game in the rear view mirror. State was unable to do so and as such we lost to USCe in the final.
It is great to slay the dragon but it is tough play the next game 42 hours later.
