March Madness Discussion (Men's Nat'l Championship Game: Mon 4/8: Purdue vs UCONN)

[Bank Shot]

After all that, the lead is just 6.

[VicG]

Really messy game so far. Hopefully the nerves calm down

[JustBuzzin]

Clark needs to pop off if she's the GOAT.

MJ/LeBron would get killed with those numbers.

IMO this is a disaster half for UCONN. Clark is super off, nobody on Iowa can make a layup besides Stuelke, and no one can make even the most simple pass and they have TWELVE turnovers.

Conversely UCONN is in pretty bad foul trouble, already had their role players contribute scoring that will likely regress based on variance...and the game is still close.

[TheSuzerain]

Worst I've ever seen Clark play.

They need to stop putting her offball. The defense isn't that tight.

I don't know how they can't even get her free. women's game is just not there.

Unlike LSU, UConn actually did the smart thing and put someone Clark's size on her. They're also switching everything.

Take your chances, force her teammates to generate offense.

You have to figure she's going to get hot at some point. Stick to the plan.

Hate to see Clark go out like this, but the media has put so much pressure on her.

Hope she plays better 2nd half.

Hate to see it.

well also UCONN is holding and grabbing her nonstop without it being called, so if that's how the game is going to be called you might as well just have her bring the ball up. Additionally if that's how the game will be called Iowa needs to adapt and start defending UCONN the same way when they run off screens.

After all that, the lead is just 6.

It's college level ball. A 15 point lead can get erased in 2 minutes.

Yeah I don't blame her at all. The media tends to over hype people. You had people literally calling her the GOAT since the tournament started. Sorry but she never deserved that type of praise.

Just say the best college women's basketball player of all-time would have been fine. I never seen an athlete get crowned the GOAT before ever playing in a pro league.

She's gotta rise up to the challenge. It's a mental game at this point. It gets that way for everyone who rises to stardom. She either grows up fast or this will defeat her. I'm sure she's had challenges before.

Iowa still missing layups. sheesh.

[KO7]

Some of CC’s teammates are just infuriating. In the paint and hit the underside of the rim? Cmon man.

[___Rand___]

FINALLY THEY GET HER FREE.

[picc]

I love Skuelke's bully ball game.

UConn is pretty good though. I remember last year Paige Buckets was the hottest thing since sliced bread. Is she still good?

Iowa layups are giving me Raptors PTSD.

Yeah she's still good. Iowa's defense is focusing on her like UConn is focusing on Clark. Paige went off last game also.

I have no confidence in any layup going in the basket. This is wild.
