Message: [QUOTE="hoopsnloops32, post: 4587888, member: 3464"] Yea I don’t think Iowa would or will beat South Carolina. However, if we are engaging in a thought exercise the only way it would happen would be to exchange 2’s for threes. Defensively: Iowa won’t be able to defend South Carolina, they simply aren’t capable. They shouldn’t even exert too much effort trying. Do some sort of aggressive perimeter and defend the post straight up 1 on 1 but then send two-three shooters to the other end to get quick open threes the other way the second the ball goes through the basket. Offensively: South Carolina struggled to defend UConn’s 5 out offense. Monica, as far as I know, isn’t a threat from outside at all which makes Iowa a slightly easier match up i that regard. You can’t pull Boston or Cardosa away from the basket at all which means help defenders can stay home when Clark attacks. My guess is Clark will need to carry the scoring load with a strong midrange game ( when she gets by her defender but before she gets to Boston waiting in the paint) in the first quarter and force South Carolina to start helping. The difference between Iowa and every other team South Carolina has played this season is once you shut down the first offensive game plan they’ll be able to counter with different options because Clark is so dynamic and their shooters are so deadly. I’d give South Carolina a 99% chance of beating Iowa but if they were to lose the above I’d the only way I’d see it. [/QUOTE]
