Iowa plays small ball and must hit a lot of threes to win.

LSU’s inside game is just too much for Iowa to handle. LSU will own the boards and the paint.

X factor= LSU is the more athletic and quicker team. LSU will lead in steals b/c LSU is the better defensive team.

Coaching= LSU has the advantage here too.

Even bias ESPN is predicting (2 of 3 of their experts) LSU to win this game.

Looks like Iowa starters were 4 guards and a forward. Is that right?

Last year Iowa has that big ogar man woman. They aren’t big at all this year. Reese will feast.

If the defense of Flauje and Poa play their normal games on Clark and limit her, LSU wins this game behind Reese and Morrow in the paint

ESPN is hoping it has the opposite effect than last time when they all picked Iowa.

Just got to make the baskets in the paint and stay out of foul trouble. Morrow will be big in this game.

History is loaded with teams that didn’t match up and won. If we don’t play good D and the shoot well then it’s a closer game. There is no clear cut winner only a clear cut pre Madonna on the Iowa team. .

This year I think our defense is better but offense is not. But our offensive last year was just on fire. I've watched that game a ton. Lady's need to make sure they have Boosie playing again before the game lol.

Hope the refs let them play and don’t call the game too tight. If so, LSU’s physicality will be too much for Iowa, unless they make an insane amount of 3’s.

No bigs like USC and UCLA. A bunch of shooters, but Clark is pretty good. A liitle D would help the Tiger's cause.

If lsu stays out of foul trouble they win by double digits.

If they are having to manage the bench because of fouls, we likely lose.

Will be interesting to see how CKM decides to guard Clark. Johnson and Poa are the best candidates, but you hate to see Johnson get worn down and have it impact the OFF side of the court. She has really emerged the last two games as a scoring threat off the jumper and off the dribble.

Play YOUR game Tigers. We are going to need impactful minutes from the top 7 b/c this will likely be a fast paced contest. If Johnson & Williams can keep scoring off the dribble and Reese & Morrow get that inside game going, this team will be tough to beat. Monday night is must see TV!

I agree. Czinano and Warnock are gone and I don’t think Iowa has the bodies to compete down low.

Agreed, Just like last year , It’s No stopping CC, She’s gonna get between 20-30 , But stoping those around her is how you take care of Iowa. I’m sure she will see a Nice dose Of Flau’jae, Poa and HVL .

LSU is going to have to figure out a way to get around Iowa packing the paint. LSU needs to hit some early outside shots to force iowa to extend their defense. LSU has to stay out of foul trouble. I'm sure KM is reiterating this to them. If they catch the ball down low at the block, give up the layup if you have too, just don't hack and foul. Hopefully HVL can give LSU some sort of offensive production

Small Ball


3-point shooting is small ball? Sounds more like gorilla ball to me.
