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.

I'd wager a lot that she'll deliver.

Didi needs to stay on Doyle. No reason to help on that play.

This is a good start against a good team. Keep running. I think N Smith can do some damage against tired defenders in this game

Time out at a good time for us. Brown was gassed. I like Kim alternating brown/cox on the Iowa big.

Kalani needs to stop settling for 18 footers. We can get higher percentage shots. Lauren just backed that girl guarding her down like she wasn't even there, that will be automatic without a double team.

So far, so good from Moon. I've become a huge fan of hers over the last couple of months.

If Brown can make those open midrange shots, we'd be a lot better off.

Barring injury and Zebra help we look really good. +14 at half.

Their center is good but if she plays all 20 minutes she'll get tired and the other four are not good enough IMHO.

Iowa is probably the best team we've faced in the play-offs, but I'm happy with a 14 point lead. I'll feel better if it was a 25 point lead though!!!

This. We can't let up and need to come out in the second half just as strong. Keep foot on gas

Gustafson is as advertised. Really impressed with her.

I think we are better off with Lauren guarding her.

Should have been more but I'm not complaining. They are looking very good.

Cox didn't seem winded from the pace of play.

It is physical inside.

After taking a quick look at the Iowa game thread on their site all I can say is "Run it up Herman, leave no doubt!"

There was definitely something wrong. Carolyn Peck noticed and mentioned it. That could be devastating! Kim didn't notice it, and was yelling at DIdi, so I hope she doesn't try to hide it, and tells Kim/trainers.

Keep it +14 the first 5 minutes and then as fatigue sets in for them we should get boards and transition buckets.

Lauren is a huge mismatch so I'm confident CKM will wear out the mismatch until they adjust.
