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

As simple as it sounds, Iowa has to shoot well and South Carolina has to shoot no better than average. I believe I heard they had 4 and 8 threes against Oregon St. and Indiana. Indiana had 13 threes. Iowa needs to make at least that many.
 
I’m honestly not very nervous. I feel like this team is playing with house money today.

Just happy to have one last game

I'd be surprised if CC does not have the game of her life, win or lose. Friday night her shot was off. I don't think that happens again today. If her assists also start piling up and this game is up and down, we got a chance.
 
Welp, Indiana just a few games ago got down to them by 22 in the second half and nearly came all the way back before losing by just 4 points. Seemed like SC played pretty well too. Indiana doesn't have any monsters sizewise. We can definitely do this! 😃

i wonder if we start out sagging in the paint, trying to prevent entry passes to their bigs

they are shooting better this year from 3, so it's kinda like pick your poison
 
We are going to need 1 of Syd, Martin, or Gabbie to be hot from 3. I don't know how but we also need Hannah to hold her own against Cardosa. We are going in with nothing to lose, let it fly. Go Hawks

I do expect extremely physical defense on Caitlin. She better be ready.

Who among you remember that transcendent quarter at Michigan, maybe her sophomore year? We are down big and she starts launching. From just beyond half court, with 3 Wolverines surrounding her, from beyond the plausible. Remember that? Sure we lost, but the beyond extraordinary was revealed.

Maybe again this afternoon.
 
I don't think the home conference should be able to have a national title game.

ESPN drooling over SC and revenge factor.
 
Alright, let's talk strategy (I quickly looked through the thread but didn't see much on it so far)...

1. Run, Run, Run
2. Double down on Cardozza and hope SC is cold from deep
3. Clark and 2 of Marshall, Martin, and Altoffer need to be hot from deep
4. Hannah needs to hold her own, need valuable minutes from O'Grady and possibly Goodman on Cardozza

That's not too much to ask!
