Iowa @ #10 Indiana - 3/03/21

[eebmg]

Human 3Q. (and just missed a FT )

 

[Dillon77]

4 of 5 IU starters are in double figures. and the one non-double-scorer, Gulbe, just put one in.
Holmes has some great spin moves and touch on that hook.

5 vs 1 is not fair.

 

[Kaizen]

76 - 67 Indiana

Oh, let's go 5 vs. 2. CC and Monika Czinano, although Megan Meyer just hit a 3.

 

[Dillon77]

79-72 IU. Clark just called for her 4th foul.

 

[LETTERL]

Iowa still battling. 79-75, 3:20 left.

 

[LETTERL]

Clark with 32 points now.

 

[LETTERL]

Clark just fouled out, trying to get a rebound.

 

[Shades]

Clark fouls out.

 

[Dillon77]

Oh wow, Clark out with five fouls. 79-75 IU. She finishes with 32.

IU has three with 20+: Berger, Patberg and Holmes.

Not watching Was it a real foul or was she hosed?

 

[Dillon77]

Real foul. She got her arm hooked in with Gulbe fighting for a rebound. The 4th was questionable: Cardano-Hillary made a mild push off look like a takedown.

Indiana is going to hold on. Clark sure is a joy to watch though, some of the 3s she hit were just ridiculous. Heck of a passer too. Her/Czinano reminds me of Sabrina/Ruthy with their pick and roll. Problem is that Iowa can't defend a chair.

 

[Dillon77]

89-80.

Iowa: Clark 32, Czinano 20.
Indiana: Berger, Holmes, Patberg all with 22. Holmes hits the daily double with 11 rebounds.
She's got some sweet posts moves and a baby hook. She shot 11 for 13 from the floor.

 

[Shades]

89-80 IND final


Holmes 22 pts (11-13, 0-1 FT), 11 reb (4 off), 1 ast, 3 TO, 2 blk in 35 min

Clark 32 pts (11-18, 5-7 3P, 5-6 FT), 2 reb, 5 ast, 3 TO, 1 stl in 33 min

Tenth 30+ pt game of the year for Clark?

 

[eebmg]

It seemed from the boxscore that before her fouls, she had a perfect 4Q

Can someone shed the light as to why Catlin Clark [#22] has a name Keough on back of jersey? Asking for a friend.

All the players chose a person they wanted to rep in the fight against cancer. Not sure who Keough is to Clark though

The game unis were in pink, for Indiana's Breast Cancer Awareness Game. I would make a guess that Iowa's unis were references to people the team knew who had/have breast cancer or some other form of cancer.

Iowa a player or two short all year. Usually close but can't finish against the top B10 teams. Nice season for Indiana. Their Big 3 all had 22 today.

Clarke is just a matchup problem all over the floor with her size, her shooting ability and her handle. You have to play her tight on the perimeter and make her drive. The problem there is her court vision is so good. Unlike Paige she hasn't shown tired legs syndrome as the season has gone on.

You would need to be more active on defense than Clark is to get "tired legs syndrome".

 

[donalddoowop]

Clark drove more today than I have ever seen her drive. She is hard to guard.

UConn had to squeeze in more games this semester due to covid breaks, so they’ve had a lot of three games in five days stretches, and five in 10 days. I think UConn has had only one day off between games nine different times and Iowa never had any like that until a three in five days stretch last week (the final game being Michigan two days after getting whomped by Maryland, which was their best game of the year - one for the “go figure” department).

What I thought was weird in this latest one is that on Thursday at Creighton, Geno gave Paige a couple minutes rest at the end of the third and then had her face guard Carda all over the floor in the fourth. UConn was up big, so he basically had her run around like crazy for nothing on the first game of a 3 in 5 days stretch. There could be a number of reasons for it - Geno might have been sending her or the team a message about defensive commitment. Or curiosity in seeing how she could handle it. Or maybe he was trying to build her conditioning for the postseason - trying to get her to fight through tired legs now so it won’t feel foreign in the BE Championship game or the Elite Eight. That would be a little odd, she already sort of did that once with a strong game against Seton Hall two days after the 45 minutes against SC. But it’s been a strange year without normal strength and conditioning routines and normal cycles between games, and the staff maybe thought it would be to helpful use live game action in place of wind sprints.

I could be overthinking it, though. More likely, it’s something simple like she talked back and Geno punished her by saying “oh, so you want to go back in? Fine. But now you have to go chase that kid around.”
