Impressed with SC's composure throughout that game.

Didn't let that bad start faze them.

Then any time Iowa made a run, they would end it before giving up the lead and push it back to ~10 points. Hats off to them.
They take after their coach.

The size and athleticism of the past three teams Iowa faced are so radically different than Iowa’s.

I can entertain criticism of CC’s defense but the idea that she needed a team championship to prove anything is absurd. Maybe if she had a roster like these (UConn, lsu, sc) but not at Iowa with effectively role players.

The fact that she took them to the title game twice in a row and beat these teams a few times to get there is incredible.

Iowa played some good team ball against Uconn. That all went out the window in the 4th quarter today. Me-ball down the stretch couldn't get it done against a solid all around team.

All is right with the world again.

I'm an Iowa State fan that probably couldn't bring myself to cheer for Iowa if my own kid played for them. But, I do think that I could have appreciated Clark if it wasn't shoved down my throat for the last 2 years.
I keep saying - look how much respect ISU fans have for Cooper Dejean because he's a class act, doesn't show boat, and handles himself really well even in adversity. If Clark didn't act like a whiny baby, throw tantrums, and do all the showboating, we'd give her the same respect.

Can't remember how many down I think 5 and you go down low to O'Grady vs Cardoso and then a 40 footer from Clark.

What is the over/under for season tickets the TOE sells for women's basketball next year?

At the same time, respecting Dejean doesn't mean we feel obligated to cheer for Hok ball. Not that hard to acknowledge CC is an all time great player and still not want Iowa (and their fans) to be rewarded.
