Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 3873446, member: 175"] She’s had an outstanding year and i certainly wouldn’t argue if she ends up a second team AA. Maybe even sneaking on the first team, since the Rhyne Howards and Aari McDonalds of the world haven’t come up big, and maybe opened the door for Clark to make it with her numbers. But NPOY is supposed to be a high bar - you need individual and team success. Historically, that means you better be in the top 10 (or be Kelsey Plum and just outside the top 10). There isn’t anything Clark has done that makes this year different. Iowa is 14-8, unranked, in seventh place in their league, and ranks dead last in the country in team defense (336 out of 336j. UConn is No. 5 in defense - Iowa actually gives up 30 ppg more. Not sure I want to see them in our 8-9 game, though. They can spread the floor with shooters (their other three point shooters shoot a very high percentage too) and if they go 16-25 on threes, they could shoot us out no matter how much we score against their Swiss cheese at the other end. The Butler game gave me a little pause in that regard. [/QUOTE]
