Agree. Coach Joe seems to shorten his bench in bigger games; not sure why. Iowa will very likely jump all over us at the start tomorrow; hopefully, we can respond.Shot 3-23 from three point range. Not good. Lucky to advance. Not much of a contribution from the bench…they basically played only 5 players. Gonna need more support if they are to advance to the next round.
Correct about the horrendous shooting - never have I seen it this bad. However, 8 players played important roles in this game, the starters, Walsh, Daley and Rainey. Defense won the game.Shot 3-23 from three point range. Not good. Lucky to advance. Not much of a contribution from the bench…they basically played only 5 players.

Yep. Walsh presence down the stretch really helped. She takes up a lot of space on defense. I love this team.Correct about the horrendous shooting - never have I seen it this bad. However, 8 players played important roles in this game, the starters, Walsh, Daley and Rainey. Defense won the game.
As Gato pointed out, we have beaten Iowa once and lost to them in OT. If we beat them, we are a shoe-in for the NCAA Tourney, and we might get in anyway even if we lose.
