We were also effectively missing our sole backup guard (Molly Davis) who was limited to just 1 minute after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter.
As an Iowa fan I would be
thrilled to get absolutely thrashed by South Carolina... because that would mean we made the Final Four to begin with!
In all seriousness though there's no way realistic Iowa could hang with SC. Maybe we'd win 1 game out of 10 thanks to a very very hot shooting night from 3. South Carolina is just a whole different machine than anyone else in the NCAA right now, and the acclaim they're getting is fully deserved.
