A very difficult position to be in right now. It's possible, but will be very difficult needless to say.
 
This team is so smooth and effortless- but they sink every bucket and are so sound and make it look so easy ... Iowa’s fate is coming
Indeed it is. Talent gap is tremendous. And the missed lay-ups!?! Come on now, Hannah Stewart. Wow. And the height Baylor has..holy cow..

Tania Davis being only 5'3" makes it difficult. That's on the short side for your average high school team I'd think.
 
Great challenge for staff and guards: find ways to get Mack and Davis and Doyle rhythm threes. Defensively I think they’ll have a better half.

I trust Iowa’s second wind and will to compete over Baylor’s. My hope is we claw back and Baylor panics a bit.

I remain optimistic. Our Hawks will not quit.
 
Admittedly don’t watch Iowa women often, but safe to say they normally don’t miss this many easy shots?
Ehhhh that's kind of the difference between the women and the men.

There are nights where they're missing plenty of these point blank shots.

The key though is whether or not they can continue to play solid defense and win the rebound battle, to give themselves a chance.

Megan is still getting points. It was always gonna be about the other 4 on the floor stepping up to the challenge to prove they can hang with the #1 team in the country.

Run run run...fast pace under control.
 
how many layups have the Hawks missed?
I think there were at least three uncontested misses that I saw. I’m not counting the contested drives to the basket that were off. Baylor’s players too tall to get most of those to fall (forcing us to change our shot)

Davis looks so intimidated when driving. There is zero reason Gustafson shouldn’t touch the ball on every possession. She has a very distinct advantage vs Baylor’s bigs.
