UConn manhandled Cuse after getting used to the absence of Nika for the first 10 to 15 minutes of the game. They are one of the toughest defensive teams in the nation and will be able to curtail the effectiveness of Ms. Clark. While everyone is stating how is UConn going to stop her, here is the better question. How is Iowa going to stop UConn, they have one of the top offenses in the Country while also having a top rated defense. Iowa has a higher rated offense, but their defense is rated in the 240's. UConn defense will keep Iowa in check but I don't see Iowa's defense doing the same. Their tallest players are 6'3" one is a Junior and the other a Freshman, they only have 4 players 6'1" or above, UConn could start 4 over 6'1", but won't. UConn will shut down their inside game, out rebound them on both boards, and run with quick outlet passing and their motion offense. UConn 94 - Iowa 73. All prognostications must be submitted by 12:45 EST or 9:45 PST. Attached is the Rules and scoring criteria and good luck on your predictions.

Clark is a force, hopefully we'll defend better than we did against Dungee. If Nika can play effectively, which I'm betting on, then we win easily.
UConn 91 - Iowa 73
 
Iowa has no answer for the physicality of Edwards inside if Czinano decides to guard ONO. Offensively, Clark will get hers, but defensively, I don't see how Iowa can keep UConn under 90 points.

Uconn 98
Iowa 76
Yes, we'll crush Iowa in the paint especially if we start the game with Aubrey on Clark. Iowa will have no answer for Aubrey, Aaliyah & Olivia all in the game at the same time. If so, Cinzano will get nothing, eh?
 
Gonna be difficult. I mean what can UCONN do with Clark/Czinano?? And does Geno have enough time with the team?? How's he really feeling? will Muhl play? Too many questions.

Hawkeyes win 89-81.
...and having received these burnt offerings, the gods of the hardwood heavens smiled upon the young warriors of Storrs and said, "Go now into battle without fear, for we are satisfied." Geno 11:12

Aubrey will not start. Nika, Paige, E, Christyn and Liv start.
