*****S Carolina vs Iowa (W) Game Thread*****

[kwik44]

When you put it like that, incredible down 3 is all.

 

[uiowa08]

A lot of length was anticipated, their shooting wasn’t. Going to be real tough if they shoot 46% from 3 in the second half as well.

We needed Marshall to come big with a Paopao type performance. Not happening. Just don't have the players to compete for a full game.

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

worst part of CC's game is she does not value possession of the ball enough and is too loose with it.

Yeah, you get the whole package. She is constantly thinking about what is going to happen next and sometimes forgets that she needs to protect the ball. I think SC scouted that well. Ain't over yet, though. CC has plenty of time to make up for it.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Second chance points are killers!

 

[HawkBall23]

Hawks might have a better chance at not getting their layups blocked if they didn't start the 'shooting' motion from their hip or lower.

 

[Franisdaman]

i had no idea Herky played the drums

 

[fecal particulate]

closed caption please

Whoever did the live closed captioning for that SC player's interview probably just threw their arms up and walked out.

 

[drew_hawk]

Can someone translate that to English?

 

[intrepodor]

Thought. It was my age. No idea what she said.

Shes magna cum lauda at zSC

 

[Grumpy Old Hawk]

I hear they are giving last year's officiating crew a second chance

This game has been way better than last year officiating wise.

 

[HawkeyeHitman]

If Marshall can’t score she shouldn’t be playing.

 

[Muscles1989]

2nd half keys
Clark must be involved constantly can’t go silent
Cardoso is gonna get hers, but the easy 2nd chance pts has to go
Free throws, get to the line as much as possible
Someone chuck a ball at Staley’s face and sit her down

 

[HawkinMN]

To be fair Boston is actually really good.

She is.

 

[drh1150]

We are really only 5 deep at this level of play.

 

[QChawks]

you must be new here

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

What it's gonna come down to is limiting their 2nd chance points and feeling comfortable from the 3 pt line.

It worked for us against LSU and UConn. That's what it's gonna take to beat South Carolina as well.

It's why we lost to LSU in the Finals last year. Giving up 2nd chance points and letting their role players knock down 3s.

They have to lock in better on close-outs and stop daring them to shoot.

This is the end of the line, so this is absolutely the one time not to leave anything to chance.

Over/Under South Carolina Offensive RB = 24

Aggravated murder

 

[Franisdaman]

Cant body up Andre the Giant

Whatcha gonna do when Clarkamania runs wild on you?

 

[bdcolt45er]

I don't know. She put Beuckers in her pocket for the final 15 min yesterday. There's value in her defense

 

[squawkinhawk]

Not watching the halftime show, but how cute of ESPN to bring in the former SC star to 'analyze'.

The whole panel is composed of SC homers

 

[Franisdaman]

if we score 4 more pts than SC in the 2nd half, Iowa will finally deliver @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset a, well, you know....

 

[drh1150]

I'm actually encouraged at half.
We aren't overwhelmed.

 

[Grumpy Old Hawk]

Tough ending to the first half when it looked for a moment like Iowa was getting momentum back. Hopefully CC can have a strong 2nd half and the ladies can pull this one off.

Cant have this narritive if Iowa is ahead at the half. ESPN wouldnt have anyone they could interview

 

[TylerJ23]

If Marshall can’t score she shouldn’t be playing.

Lol.
GTFO.

 

[Muscles1989]

The whole panel is composed of SC homers

For whatever reason a majority of ex players/ wnba players are not fans of Clark or Iowa. Its a shame

 

[spiderland]

Look at all of those SC fans in Columbia.

Looks like she's been hit in the face many times.
I'd love to see her hit with a technical

 

[drew_hawk]

Whatcha gonna do when Clarkamania runs wild on you?

Clark will definitely need to Hulk Up if we're going to have a chance to slam The Giant.

 

[CyberJJ]

Whatcha gonna do when Clarkamania runs wild on you?

If I remember correctly, Hulk picked Andre up and body slammed him. Remember, David was a 40-pt underdog to Goliath!

 

[Grumpy Old Hawk]

We need to quit forcing the offense down low. No one can wcore over that dude. Outside shot is a higher percentage.

Women am I right?

 

[uiowa08]

I'm actually encouraged at half.

I don't know, they got outscored by 14 after the first couple minutes. It's a slow burn as they pound the boards and get easy second chance layups. Don't know how you can beat that for the long term when you just don't have the talent.

Look at the make up of the panel and you have your answer

 

[kceasthawk]

I can't with that crap CC. Best player in universe and too many times she's been picked.

See earlier post

That made me laugh out loud really hard—-thank you!!

 

[Muscles1989]

Oh ha yeah….. I know the reason for sure

 

[CyberJJ]

Don’t feel as good for the hHawks at half as I did vs. UConn as SC has a deeper bench than UConn

Cleanup the defensive boards as best we can ad slow down their perimeter offensive 3 pointers.

Jealousy. She's changed the game. They only wished people gave a shit when they played.

We have to put shoot them. It is probably the only way.
