Great end of half play for Iowa. Shame the three didn't go down.
Amihere and Cooke with great first halves to compensate for Boston's absence. Seniors stepping up when they need to.
I don't think Iowa can keep up this up in the second half. They're so reliant on Clark for offense and South Carolina can just rotate bodies onto her. Please prove me wrong, Iowa!
could be Staley's gameplan to simply let Iowa play their game, see how it plays out, then switch it up sometime during the second half – if need be
especially if it involves heightened yet unsustainable defensive activity, it wouldn't be a bad plan IMO, as opposed to starting the game out like that and giving Iowa time to adjust to it

I've read elsewhere that Beal's on-ball defense can be suspect at times and it's a fair point.
considering she only scores 7 ppg, that's gonna be a problem for her at the next level. i was under the impression that defense is supposed to be her main selling point as a pro.

She's a great off-ball defender. I think she did get burned in some pick and rolls against Maryland, which is what prompted the discussion on Twitter.

Beal at least is a better 3pt shooter at this point in her college career than DiDi Richards was when she was in school
(i assume that player comparison is still an apt one as well)
too much going on, between Iowa building their lead back up unexpectedly and uncovering the VT twitter drama lmfao. and pretending to listen to Bird & Taurasi talk to whomever. and posting!!
