I would have lost it if I was Clark. The amount of perfect passes she hit teammates rolling to the basket with that they then completely and spectacularly blew the layup on was awful. No wonder she shoots as much as she does.
Agreed - I would think maximizing open looks from behind the arc would be even higher on the agenda than in the men's game.
With all the injuries that they have had, I feel like it caught up to them months ago. And yet, here they are.

Well, it wouldn't be an upset- the line is about 3 points. UConn is legit and can score and defend. What they will do is have multiple people guard Caitlyn- mostly Nika, but KK is super quick and a real pest on defense too- so Caitlin won't get used to her defenders' techniques. Paige is a great defender too- this part of her game is overlooked- and she may also guard Clark. But UConn's Achille's heel has been foul trouble, which is even more of a threat when they don't have a lot of healthy players for subs. Basically, UConn plays two subs- Ice Brady a 6-3 forward with a good shot but not a great defender (slow feet), and Quadance "Q" Samuels, a 6'2 forward with streaky outside shot. UConn's starters end up playing almost the full game, and fatigue is another concern.
Lol I've been trying to tip toe around it by saying they're lacking athleticism, but yea I think they can definitely play with Iowa but vs SC they would need their players currently in sweats
It's not what you're getting at but they've lacked big physical girls for years now. They still would've won 1 or 2 had they not had the devastating injuries but even with everyone healthy they've been missing the big girls to bang down low against South Carolina.
Yea agreed, which is why I wouldn't be opposed to a tough, hard fought L tonight. Don't want to see them go out bad vs SC as outgunned as they are.
Now that is what I call a losers mentality. South Carolina isn’t unbeatable btw they have shown cracks in the armor.
Terrible take as far as I’m concerned. We’ve got Paige & Geno, we’ve got a chance. Plus, the buyout on my double natty parlay could still be intact!
This year's SC team overall has been better, better shooting and they're even more athletic
SC by 25 now.
That 3rd quarter was almost equivalent to our 30-0 run, sayonara Nc State.
