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.

Keys To The Game:

Chloe is on fire. She's a difference maker. That mid range game is killing teams.

Having Smith off the bench against tired shorter less athletic defenders is unfair. I like it.

LOL. Thanks for the chuckle!

This is my favorite comment from their thread:

Size matters way too much in women's bball. Seems like thunder thighs white chick and king Kong can just score whenever they want

I'm guessing they are referring to Lauren Cox and Kalani Brown!

Yes, we should ban tall athletes from playing basketball and fast athletes from track.

You think we might get outscored by 24? When is the last time that has happened to a Mulk team? Ever?

Juicy having an off game. Luckily, I don't see that happening for her twice in a row though, so expecting her to go off against Oregon.

Another priceless quote from HawkeyeNation:

Does Baylor have to start the half with 4 players till it gets close again?


LOL! They're barely talking about the game anymore. Just yapping about Kim's outfit and make-up now.
