Prognosticator's Predictions Game 5 vs Iowa

Iowa has had an uneven start to their season. Their defense is suspect and they don’t rebound all that well. For the Hawkeyes to beat the Huskies, Clark will need to play one of her best games ever. It’s not going to happen.

UConn 82 -Iowa 70
 
Iowa is basically a two man show. As good a Clark and Czinano are, they are no match for UConn.

UConn 87 - 63.

UCONN 86 - Iowa 68; Mov: 18;

UCONN starts with a flurry of points in the first, Iowa battles back in the second but still trails by 9 at the half; the flurry of the 1st happens to a greater extent [must be a blizzard] in the 3rd, and Iowa closes to 18 at the end of the game... AZZI hangs 35 on the Hawkeyes, Aubrey is at her most disruptive self turning tremendous defense into offense, Nika achieves 14 assists, Amari scores 5 points [a 3, and two free-throws], and Caroline finds her range for a fantastic afternoon in Portland.
 
Even though UConn has been playing good to great defense, so far this year, I think they will have some issues with Iowa. But the UConn offense (especially Azzi) won't be bothered as much by Iowa's defense as Duke's. So....

UConn 91 Iowa 78
 
Happily, either I keep on underestimating how good this UConn team is or overestimating how good the ranked teams they've played have been............probably a bit of both............the only player who can stop Clark is Clark............ Czinano is just a load under the basket and shoots to an incredibly high percentage from close in..........I'm concerned that Edwards will not be able to contain her without getting into serious foul trouble........

I'm looking for a close game............

83 - 77 UConn

...........as always just win and please no injuries!!

Expect a high scoring game. I think UCONN scores over 90. The question will be how good will we be at stopping Clark and Czinano - and will we get into foul trouble. I would love to see a 30 point smackdown - but not sure we will be that good Sunday. We will see! Go UCONN!!

UCONN 94
Iowa 72
 
UConn's starters pick up where they left off in the Duke game.
UConn 88
Iowa 67

Please limit discussions to actual prognostications. I have to check every time someone posts here just to make sure I don't miss any prognostications. Thank You
 
UCONN 88 IOWA 70 MOV 18
Another Pure Quess! I see Aubrey and Nika on Caitlin, Aaliyah and
some Yanna on Czinano, Lou Lopez on Warnock, and Azzi on Martin
or Davis ( they each play about 23 minutes per game.)
As noted above in BY notes = IOWA is a Mature Team with Czinano a 5th year
and multiple seniors ( Caitlin of course is a Junior). So the Hawkeyes may
not crash as much when on Offense (due to our Defense)
Contain Czinano!!!
 
UConn 92, Iowa 72

Sound familiar? That was the score in the '20-21 Sweet Sixteen.
