Somehow people forget how bad Iowa's defense is this year...and last year for that matter. In all my years I've never seen a team who won a championship, men or women, on the college or pro level, whose ball dominant guard didn't play stellar defense. From my vantage Iowa and Clark would be the first.
Maybe it was the different types of Schnitzel?
Don’t know why folks are assuming Iowa will face S.Carolina. Gotta get by ISU. Maybe not so easy. But I hope they do and then beat SC, so UConn can take them down.
I was stationed in Germany and the Netherlands for over 15 and half years. Each state/region has different types of Schnitzel, that's not even counting the old East German block.
Sorry to bring facts into it. This year against NC State, Boston was 3-8 for 8 points and 6 rebounds. The year before against NC State she was 4-14 for 9 points and 9 rebounds. Cunane and Boston fairly well neutralized each other in both games, and the teams each won one of the matchups. Both were relatively close games. Not seeing South Carolina being clearly superior here.
Exactly. The guy pointing the rifle at me did look like he was being fed differently.
NC State shoots the 3 well too. Guards are physical as all heck.
They are not in the same conference.
Do we actually know when (ie, what time) the UConn games are? I can’t find that info.
Isn't Morris going to be back?
She still isn’t practicing with the team yet but she does stuff on her own. She said she felt great earlier today
Geno said it best tonight! Some conferences have 7,8, or 9 teams selected with the theory that they beat each other up during their conference games. But Big East teams get punished because they get dominated by UCONN. Their other inter- conference games should get the same consideration.
I wouldn't call Taurasi or Bird stellar defenders and they've each won a zillion titles. I don't see Iowa as a realistic title threat, but their defense is much much better this year if you've watched their games. They aren't a great defensive team but they are far more active on defense than they were a year ago.
Anything can happen. Remember, Stanford won BOTH of their FF games last year by 1 point.
That was the year after A'ja. Dawn's worse team in the last 8 years.
Big East got the lucky draw if anything, they have 6 teams in conference with winning records and 4 made the cut, including both of Villanova/DePaul who were bubble teams and snuck in. Seton Hall/Marquette were the two others that had winning records but didn't make the NCAAs. The problem is that they had zero quality wins (Marquette) or egregiously bad losses, plus no quality wins (Seton Hall). The programs from other conferences that get more teams in have better wins and less egregious losses.
And you better believe she's going to show up!!
