Pretty good TV game on Thursday with Brenda's squad traveling to Iowa City in a Top 10 matchup. Maryland's been the one Big Ten team Iowa hasn't been able to beat the last few years. I stumbled onto one of their games a couple ago, Iowa got beat badly but the teams combined for a crazy 200 points. It's was like an NBA no defense all-star game. Don't expect that level of scoring, think both teams are trying to be a little more serious about at least playing a little defense this year but still could be a good one for WBB fans.

Maryland's strategy of not playing defense doesn't seem to be working.

Iowa offense is just smoking vs Maryland in I.C. tonight. Iowa 56-38 at the half over #8 Maryland. Little envious of their crowd of 13,000.

Clark going wild with 24 pts 5 asts 6 reb

They are playing what looks like tight defense but keep getting burned on the break and sharp passing. Iowa has 17 assists. Some of those assists were gems. That and Clark being crazy hot shooting.

Iowa is really good, and Clark, despite what clone fans want believe, is another level of good. One of the best players i have ever seen. Will eventually be a WNBA all star.

I don't let the rivalry get in the way of appreciating how good she is, especially when she is "on" like the 1st half tonight.

Maryland getting REALLY physical now. I think Brenda's message was to knock Clark down in the first minute and they did with a hard foul when she didn't even have the ball.

Clark and Czinano combined for 70 points. Iowa fans got their money's worth tonight. Iowa scored 96 to down Maryland by 14.

Clark is really good but I am not sure whether this will translate to the WNBA. Faster and stronger players, plus she won't get the passes that she has been getting from the referees

I don't think any Clone fans think she's not good. She just has a whiny attitude that turns me off. I firmly believe if she had come to Ames we wouldn't be seeing that.

LSU wins 82-77

I had forgotten that Audrey Warren had transferred to Georgia. She scored 10 points and played over 30 minutes.

Man, I had totally forgotten that to. Do remember being concerned about her. She had multiple concussions while at Texas.

She is still wearing a C-collar & continues to be a scrappy player. I was also surprised that she came back for a 5th season.

Ebo is at Notre Dame & Lattimore transferred to the University of Miami. Not everyone is happy "playing for Vic"....

#1 South Carolina at #6 UConn have battled to a 34-34 tie at the half. On Fox main channel.

#6 Iowa killing Penn State in a Pink Out game on BTN. Just channel flipped by, middle of third quarter and all of the Hawk starters are on the bench.

Big brain move by South Carolina to beat the press and inbound the ball: literally just hand it off. Not sure how that is legal.

Don't be too much. Penn State is as bad as nearly any P5 team this season and match up particularly bad with Iowa.

Win by a million and nobody got injured. Good easy scrimmage for Hawks before Thursday's roadie at #4 Indiana.

Edit: All of these top ranked team matchups have got me watching more Big Ten WBB than normal the last couple seasons. Guess it makes up for my local Gophers being REALLY bad to the point I don't watch them.
