Dawn Staley is 99% I wanted South Carolina to lose. Nice to Albertville, Mn’s #5 Tessa Johnson win a title. 

Keep your stick on the ice...

They shut Caitlyn DOWN in that 2Q, and she was simply shooting cold in the 2nd half. 

That Condoso (?) is a BEAST. 

When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

The more I think back on the game...SC was rope-a-doping IA. IA came out on FIRE, and SC was thinking, just play our game, we'll eventually nickel-and-dime them to death. And that happened. SC was a deeper team (I was told that the previous IA game, they only played 6 players). Can't do that with a team that avg'd 30+ bench points per game and ranked #1 defense for the season.

I was rooting for South Carolina 100% because I hate Iowa. It is not like me to root for an undefeated team. But I cannot root for Iowa to win a title. I can relish in them feeling some heartbreak though.

I honestly didn't care who won. 
1. The Caitlyn Fairy Tale Season. Ok, cool. 
2. The SC undefeated season. Ok, cool. 

Once UConn was out...yeah, I am that casual fan (R Lobo, still a fan, love her analysis).

Didn’t Clark want to go to UConn, but they didn’t recruit her?

Yes.  Geno never made a call or recruit visit.  Notre Dame was on her list as well since her family is devout Catholic.  She made the choice to stay close to home though.

The better team won for sure.  Staley has a complete team from starters to role players and that is what doomed Iowa.  It is impressive that Iowa made a game of it at times but SC had control once they got it.  Rebounds and bench points tell the story of the game for sure. 

 

Respect for Staley for her classy comments after the game.  Respect to Caitlin Clark...ONE of the greats and showed her class by her comments thanking all those who came before her.

Indeed.  Easy to understand why players want to play for her. 

Iowa had a hell of a run but it seemed throughout the tournament, barring an epic USs over USSR level upset, the rest of the field was playing for 2nd.

Dan Hurley is getting more annoying play by play.

So many good players for UConn, they just come in waves making plays. Edey was gonna have to have the game of his life and he’s been the opposite since the first third of the game.

Hurley just got a “foul” for stepping on the court and pushing his own player from behind to move the ball. Up by 16 with 3 minutes left. What are you doing?

@bigbeer 

I don’t recall ever seeing something like that while the play was live.
