And then there were two left in the Greensboro Regional. The number one seed Lady Bears and number two seed Iowa Hawkeyes with a chance to go to the Final Four. The Hawkeyes lost six games in the regular season, but hasn’t tasted defeat since February 21. The one time the Hawkeyes faced superior athleticism from a top ranked opponent, Notre Dame blitzed Iowa 105-71 in South Bend. All six losses for Iowa were on a neutral floor or on the road. 

How To Watch:

Monday, April 1, 6 P.M.

Unless their Center plays all 40 minutes I don't think they have a chance.

Why didn't Cox go right back up with a layup. She was right under the bucket?

Stewart with two fouls which is big. She is a big piece in their high-low game.

With Iowa's other forward down with foul trouble, Gustafson will either have to play defense and risk fouls, or let Kalani own her.

I'd say it's a pretty typical 1st quarter for the Lady Bears: came out strong, missed 1st basket, quickly took a solid lead, a few other mistakes (but nothing terrible), aggressive defense, good passing, everyone doing their part.

Need some quality minutes from Moon here.
