This Cardozza chick is like Clingan & Edey all wrapped into one.

I think I’d just try to sell for charges on Cardoso. She’s destroying Iowa.

Pump fake on her and try to draw fouls.

You need to get her out of the game. Just too big.

I appreciate watching more than 30 seconds of basketball between commercial breaks... that's been very nice.

Why doesn't #10 just dunk it? She's 6'7''. Just dunk it. What do you need like a 14 inch vert to be able to do it?

SC looks like a forest running down the court when the wind is blowing. Someone is gonna have to hip drop tackle the giant sequoia to get her out of the game.

First foul on Cardoso. Gotta get that second foul on her before half.

Swarm the ball vs S Carolina. Turnover prone.

Right? I don’t know what to do with myself.

Cmon Iowa keep the energy up. With sc able to rotate players they’re gonna be fresher. Need to take advantage of these rotation minutes. Hopefully with the last game Iowa has a last burst of adrenaline for the end

If I’m one of these small normal looking woman for Iowa, I’m flopping all over the place when I’m anywhere near Cardoso.

No way the refs swallow their whistles when that ogre sends the prom queen into the third row.

I guess it's a good sign Clark went almost an entire quarter without a point, South Carolina dominated the paint like they were playing high school kids... and the game is only tied.

What a terrible end to the half

Ugh. You gotta take control in cleanup minutes when they’re resting their top players.

Yep, Clark got lazy there... Hopefully it fuels her for the 2nd half. Iowa's only chance is to shoot outside, they are forcing it inside and they have no chance against that height.

Sure there will be some cheap shots but she will make them all more money.

Mahomes is making money for everyone in the NFL. Ratings are up. Most kids in grade school love Mahomes. That's generational.

I don't feel like Iowa can win this game unless Clark scores 45.

Sloppy at the end

That was always true. They just don't have the talent of SC and need everyone to be red hot.

It’s gonna be hard for Iowa to maintain this. Clark is head and toes the best player on the court, but SC is the better team and it’s showing.

Iowa is in trouble.

It is nice to see that both head coaches are women.

It’s hard to win when you can’t get defensive rebounds. SC seems to always have second or third chances

south carolina ladies are tall as ****

it's getting away from Iowa, down 9 not good

Yep, there only chance is to stay red hot, they aren't getting an offensive boards against this lineup.

They might need to put a freshman in to hack a Cardosa.

Shit, switched it up and getting open 3s, but have gone cold.

Nice play there. I thought Clark was dumb for pushing. Great cut and finish for Steulke.

Poor game plan, Iowa is going to drive into the paint against those girls twice their size? Shoot the 3's for crissakes,

Video game vision is a good way to put it.

Can we get rid of this iPhone “don’t let me go” commercial?

I think it’s entitlement. The difference is mahomes elevated a game that was already popular. The wnba for years has had a lot of deluded entitlement that people cared for the game more than they actually did. Like when they tried like hell to act like Brittney griner was some kind of a list superstar. We saw the same shit with women’s soccer where the older veterans were expecting everyone to shower them with flowers.

These are two sports where the faster they embrace changing of the guard the better.

Yes please.

Although I have to admit the key to the city one makes me laugh. “Who wants pink zebras!”

I always wonder why some of these teams dont use the bench more just to get a few of the most energetic moments of the players lives.

There's some tall woman waving a towel in warm ups on Iowa's bench that looks to be 6'4-6'6".

KCC must be having LeBron-ptsd watching Caitlyn Clark drop dimes for missed layups

Thiss one feels over.

Jesus. Every offensive possession Iowa has no rhyme or reason.

They have to take advantage of every dumb SC turnover.

At this point, I think Iowa just hopes to keep it close enough for a late run at the end

Just like most games nowadays, if you’re missing 3s and they’re hitting 2s you’re going to get in a hole that only 3s will dig you out of.

Clark for another 18, LFG

Those little girls of Iowa keep driving into the lane where 3 women twice their size are ready and getting stuffed.

Maybe try a little more shooting 3's, isnt that what you do best?

Iowa never had any real shot here, outclassed all over the floor

Too many points left out there, between missing open 3s, not finishing on Clark assists, and missed free throws... they've had plenty of chances.

You mean it hasn’t convinced you to get an iPhone 15? I mean it has ton of storage for photos and it’s made out of titanium!

Watching by far the best player on the court be let down by teammates against a vastly superior opponent is definitely familiar

What a stupid turnover

Any coach that thinks transgenders should be able to compete against women is absolutely wrong. Go Hawkeyes!!!

South Carolina could have spotted them a 30 point lead and still would have won.

Affolters mistake was like letting air out of a balloon. Just an awful momentum shifter

Oh man that bun on top of Staley is awful.

Unfortunately that’s about the only chance Iowa has. They can’t beat SC inside. Just too small.

For not having an answer for the bigs or the bench, they're hanging in there.

The cuts are still working but them making a move and winning straight up isn’t going to happen.

Right? Definitely reminds me of the early Jordan years.

Yeah dude. You gotta pick up that dribble.

Yeah, 3’s (even open ones) are never a given but you have to make them if you’re Iowa. You just don’t have the margin for error that South Carolina does.

South Carolina misses turn into offensive rebounds and layups for Grimace.

That wasn’t the first thing that came to mind (MJ didn’t pass the ball)

OK. I take that back about Affolter. She should have picked that one up too LOL

Bingo

Iowa is going to have to press.

Now I'm going to watch The Hangover.

Lame foul. She was out of control and in a bind at the end of the clock.

Was a bit of contact but total bailout.

Looks alot better than glueing her bangs to her head like alot of other girls do

Iowa was the female version of Fab Five and Phi Slamma Jamma, shame.

You don't like the semen smear look?

Don't love the NBA range 3s.

Even if Iowa loses like they deserve a huge amount of credit for building interest in the sport

I'm interested in a ncaaw game not involving my alma mater lol

Iowa is playing way too honestly against that monster.

You gotta start flailing and flopping. There’s a reason the men do it.

SC just to big for Iowa.

ROFL Why don't you go find your Lebron fan club circle jerk?

That’s over the back.

Apparently blocking out is a foul in womens basketball I have learned.

Yeah that’s ticky tack as shit

Right? I don’t think I’ve watched one since Holtsclaw was at Tennessee and that’s because I had nothing better to do.

Well, it was a good run. Amazing they could make it to the finals again getting out rebounded by 20 every game.

Do you have any suggestions?

Too big for everyone. Iowa never had a chance.
