*****Louisville vs Iowa Game Thread*****

We're clearly the better team; they're still in it because they're shooting well from 3.

We win as long as there's not a big disparity in shooting % this half.

Also credit to them on their mid range twos. They have constantly knocked them down. The game plan was obviously to defend the paint and the 3. Louisville is hitting a ton of those shots.

I really liked their plan to double Clark high but Bluder countered with Warnock, Marshall, Martin and Davis bringing it up the court. Let's see if we can take advantage of that.
 
It feels like we should be up double-digits but several favorable items in our favor:
- They've shot nearly 67% from 3 point land, that won't continue
- Czinano awfully quiet at only 4 points, that won't continue either
- Stuelke was very effective in a short time (more of her); either a good matchup for her or she's rested
- Marshall and Martin with 3 total points despite some real good looks; that shouldn't continue
- Louisville in Van Lillith is one dimensional offensively just as much as we are with Clark

I'm cautiously optimistic but quite nervous I must admit.

But even Clark is not so one-dimensional with all the assists.
 
If Bluder wins this game I vote that her and Fran switch compensation packages for the next year. Until such time where Fran takes the men's program further than Lisa takes the women's.
In all seriousness how did women’s games compare to men’s in terms of attendance this year? If women’s games are just as full or more full than men’s there’s no reason why she shouldn’t be making more than Fran.

Louisville loves midrange jumpers.
Iowa is doing a good job of running Louisville off the line and defending down low. I think they're forcing some of that. To your point, Louisville came out with that their first 3 offensive possessions to start the game with Van Lillith as I recall.
