Insane momentum swing, feels like lsu home game now and you know they don’t have more fans there with people paying gobs of $ to watch CC.

LSU overall looks like a better and more athletic team

There's no question they are the more talented and athletic team. I don't think that was ever a question.

It all comes down to if they will play together and play hard.

CC has been falling apart the last several minutes. It's wild. But she's keeping her composure so far.

I don't understand how teams defend CC. It's nuts. Get the ball out of her hands, whatever it takes.
It’s funny - we see all this stuff all the time about “how far the women’s game as come” and even little criticisms and random quips/anecdotes from staff members like “the women’s game is just a better game than the men’s right now..” or “women’s game has much better passing than the men’s game..”

1) No - LOL [insert massive face palm gif]. Stop comparing the women’s game to the men’s game; they are very, very different sports. The women’s game has come a long way, in its own way. Celebrate that. We all should. Stop the silly comparisons - I promise, it doesn’t make you more of an advocate for equality, it just makes you sound silly.

2) Defensive schemes in the women’s game are continually lacking at the highest level. There are absolutely schemes that work really well against CC/Iowa - and so few teams even attempt them. It’s fascinating how many open looks she/they get in most games, even when their offense is moving in slow motion.

I’ve commented a few times about Iowa’s lack of portal activity. I was starting to think I was wrong but this game is changing that, fast.

I think that block by Reese could have been a foul. Reese ankle injury she'll be back I'm guessing.

From certain angles it's looks like Angel Reese is playing in flip flops. Goes well with the bleeding mascara look she also has going.

I hope they win, but geez crazy Mulkey has assembled quite the fitting group of individuals. Just saying.

Iowa's defenders must be pretty good because they guard the other team's five with their four, CC does next to nothing.
