Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3914494, member: 656"] There is a uncalled for bravado among some posters (I noted a sample) that to my mind is completely misplaced regarding the likelihood of our shutting down Iowa. Catlin is a most unusual talent, capable of taking a game into her own hands and controlling it. It's great to say we're going to do this, do that, to her...perhaps we will, perhaps she will only score 25 on 6 for 20 shooting. But you can be sure that Geno is taking her threat very seriously and planning for the worst. And to say that Czinano only scores layups is to mis-read her game. She scores anywhere around the basket in a variety of ways, including an excellent, short baseline jumper, that will be very effective at the next level. An excellent, gifted scorer, with unusual skills, finely honed. And I've watched Iowa games where other players go off...Freshman Gabbie Marshall hit 6 treys in a game recently and shot a very high % in the first half. It is not difficult to imagine 3's raining down and slick entry passes to a super skilled interior. This is not a gimmee; rather, a serious opponent, peaking and confident... They do (statistically) appear to have an Achilles heel on D and that is where Geno will attack. [/QUOTE]
