First, let me say the team exceeded the season's expectations given the injuries and everyone playing nearly every minute tonight.
Several players had poor games. I won't name them, you all watched the game. Too many missed layups, bad turnovers etc. They should've been up 15 at halftime, but let Iowa hang around. They got the terrible game from Clark that they needed, but let them off the hook. While not disappointing for what they accomplished this season, the players and coaches will beat themselves up for letting this game get away.
With all that said, we were spared a 15-20 point beatdown by South Carolina in the championship game. Iowa will get that honor. I said at the end of last season that Cardosa would be the difference maker this season, and she will be. Neither UConn or Iowa can contain her.
Not hopeful, but would love some great news from Sarah Strong tomorrow, but I agree she's most likely going to Duke, which sucks.
Here's to a healthy roster next year.
