2017 MsSt game - you can't drive into the lane (Saniya Chong) looking to draw contact for a foul in the last seconds of the game. Ask DiJonai Carrington/Kim Mulkey. Plus Geno needed to play Azura more.Every team can stumble.
UConn stumbled when they lost to the Mississippi State Bulldogs in OT in the 2017 FF & I'd like to see them win a big upset someday to make up for that game.
Maybe UConn already has made up for it or maybe they haven't.
Maybe this could be the year to make up for it.
While UConn is an underdog this year, there's always the possibility that they can get through it without stumbling.
Since it's virtually impossible to predict upsets one can only hope.
UConn can always get some help from other teams in the tourney too.

yeah. and stanford is tied with lsu, each getting one nod.
Geno addressed that play without naming names. I recall him saying in an interview that this was not the play that was drawn up, but rather the player in question panicked and decided to take it to the bucket on her own. Not only did she lose the ball out of bounds, but she left time on the clock as well.
Azure played in the 2018 Final Four, not 2017.
While I agree Stanford should beat Iowa I do think they'll have a big problem with Clark. If Rice, a freshman can get 22 and Paopao can get 28, Clark could and should get_____?
I think Clark will get her points against almost any defender in the country but Iowa doesn't really have many other weapons.
Agreed although Connecticut allowed Martin to go off back in November.
I believe Azura was a transfer this year when we played MS State and not eligible to play. I think you are thinking of the ND game the following year....
I’ve watched every Stanford game this season. Their problem is the back court and lack of on court chemistry because their rotation is too long. They typically only have 2 players you have to defend behind the free throw line on the floor at the same time which makes their offensive flow non-existent. They are great defensively but their backcourt is still their weakness there as they have no lock down perimeter defenders.
I think Clark will score at will against Stanford but my thought is who on Stanford can defend Iowa's big girls. She is tough in the paint if you don't have someone that can body up with her and CB is tall but can be knocked around.
Czinano is a physical post and Brink will have trouble staying out of trouble. Unless Jones really has a big tournament I just don't see Stanford making the FF.
Brink is thin in stature but she's strong and doesn't get knocked around or displaced easily. She's a dominant defender too and has immense length that will give Czinano trouble. She doesn't shy away from contact either (part of the reason for her foul woes) and is extremely physical. Czinano has a big frame and uses it to establish position, but she's more of a finesse player inside with great footwork and touch around the basket rather than a post who relishes contact like an Angel Reese. I actually think of Brink being a far more physical player than Czinano in this regard. For reference, Brink shoots 50% more free throws than Czinano does and plays fewer minutes.
perhaps....they all seem to run together sometimes. In any case...whatever the game, it was a huge oversight on his part. Oh well.
Recency bias as Clark and Iowa have been on fire. The Hawkeyes will need a surprising game from one of their third players. Think back to the UConn game and Martin's performance. That kind of performance from a third player and a 30-point triple double by Clark will be necessary to send Iowa to the next level.
