*******USC vs Iowa Game Thread*******

That is crazy, what a win. If we can beat a team like this, we can beat any team any night.
Home court vs neutral court is way different. They more than likely will have to beat someone on their home floor if they are still having top seeds host. Iowa will probably be an underdog in almost all of their tournament games if they make it. If the crowd gets behind them, then maybe they pull off an upset in the tourney.
 
Have to be happy for Olsen and O'Grady playing like that in the 4th. Kind of senior "want it" leadership the team has needed.

It really was the kind of Olsen game they had to have to compete and win. Everyone else (minus AOG) couldn't make a basket after the first quarter.

That first quarter.
Guyton had good looks. If she was on target, and McCabe made one of her close ones, they could have built a 25 point lead. So close to doing that.

That second quarter.
Couldn't buy a basket. What a temperature swing. But the score gave them some confidence.

Second half defense on JuJu was the kind we were talking about when saying Jensen knows how teams slowed Clark down. Changed it up, stayed right on her.

Surprised by USC not extending the game in the last minute. I think they had a better chance to close the gap than they did.

Classy move by USC staying on court for the Clark ceremony.

Hawks win.
 
JuJu's name is Judea Skies Watkins.

Lots of names out there you wonder WTF. JuJu is nuts enough. Judea Skies?
 
The momentum of the Clark Effect ramped back up today. And it was at the perfect time, given the caliber of the recruits in Carver. This team needs to finish strong though. And that starts at Minnesota in four days. Feels like another must win game.

From a coaching standpoint, the adjustment in the second half, breaking the press, won the game. Kudos to the JJ and the coaching staff!
