(+) Yeah! (+)

Iowa didn't even score a single point in the last what, 3.5 minutes of the game?

USC wins and the announces won't shut the fuck out abut Clark.

9 players putting points on the board for SC vs 5 for Iowa

49 rebounds for SC vs 25 for Iowa

• 17 rebounds by Kamilla Cardoso alone

This championship was absolutely won through a great team effort. They were also defending their asses off. Great adjustment after Clark got 18 in the 1st quarter.

Greatest player of all time ain't gonna best the greatest team of all time.

Hell of a way to end her college career. She has very little finesse but "you can't teach size" and at 6'7," she'll be a force in anybody's frontcourt for years to come.

The crazy thing is that she's the only "significant" player that they're losing, so they're primed for ANOTHER strong run next season (though as implied, it's hard to replace a player of that stature).

A great team will always beat a great player. Iowas bench literally did nothing

Most Iowa's bench didn't even play. I wonder what went into that decision.

Oh well. I guess next year everyone will go back to not caring about women's bball.

If the crew announcing the national championship didn't care, why would anyone else?

Because their bench is not very good. Hell even their starting 5 isn't *that* good. Gabby Marshall is scrappy on defense and gives you the occasional 3 pointer on the wing but she really isn't that dependable on offense.

Hannah Stuelke is their best 2nd options most nights inside and their biggest player but on a night like tonight even she is clearly outsized. Here strength is how well she runs the floor as a big. They use O'Grady as a substitute defensive option off the bench but on offense she is quite poor and anytime they try to use her offensively it is a turnover or a horrible shot.

Kate Martin gives points here and there. She is a decent option. She is mostly their to help run the offense.

Affolter is a bench player that was put into a starting position because of injury. She has actually been a decent bright spot.

But that is really it. There is nobody else of note on the bench. The strength of the starting 5 mostly comes in the form of experience and familiarity. Like on their own Marshall and Martin are pretty mediocre players but they have really fit well with Clark over the years and coach Bluder gets every ounce of worth out of them.

But plain and simple there is no where to turn on the bench.

Lol at the hate on Clark by Bird and Taurasi. Two jealous old birds that are mad a college kid gave more exposure to the sport than they did over their entire careers

Jill Biden in shambles...
