Moreover, I sincerely doubt that their women's hoops team is going to evolve into another UConn or South Carolina once their once in a generation player departs after this season. Thus, I hope they enjoyed it while they could.
Yeah I think they caught lightning in a bottle. I don't remember them being particularly dominant prior to Clark. The usual suspects tend to dominate every year and I think Iowa will slip back into relative obscurity.
I understand why it's done, but it's a shame that teams have to play road games in the NCAA Women's Tournament. My guess is that WVU definitely would've beaten Iowa at WVU and also probably on a neutral court.
Iowa should have shot about 50 free throws…WVU’s whole game plan was to bang and grab, and it was effective, but you’re going to get fouls. WVU had over 20 fouls the game before that as well. Beat the other team up and then wonder why you have more fouls than they do….interesting take by WVU and their fans.
Reminds me of the Houston-TA&M game on Sunday night. I read one thread about the officials totally taking over the game and trying to foul out everyone on both teams. Then I read another talking about how they'd never seen a more physical game, and it looks like both teams were playing football underneath.
If both teams are playing that way, then the foul totals should be close, I would think. But Iowa played zone most of the game.
