Seedy K’s Takeaways: Iowa

Louisville 83, Iowa 97.

There are occasions when there’s merely nothing you are able to do.

When a crew runs right into a foe led by a transcendent star who’s executing a not-to-be-denied dominant efficiency.

Ask peacock Kim Mulkey and Britney Griner about Shoni.

We’ve heard oh a lot about Caitlin Clark.

An excessive amount of? Really, frankly, no not likely.

She was described earlier than the sport as a cross between Sue Hen and Diana Taurasi.

Who am I to disagree?

On the season, she’s hitting 58% from 25 toes and past from the ring.

That’s absurd.

Sunday evening, Clark traditionally went for 41 factors, 10 rebounds, 12 assists.

She was not going to lose this sport.

The lead by no means modified arms once more.

A Morgan Jones deuce, and one other by Carr reduce U of L’s deficit to 47-48 within the opening minute of the 3d.

Then the door was shut with quadruple locks like a Bronx stroll up.

Gabbie Marshall trey. McKenna Warnock two. Clark pull up quick break lengthy ball. Marshall once more from past the arc. The 0-11 run, Iowa’s largest of the lean, put the Hawkeyes up 59-47.

It was 78-59 heading into the final.

The Playing cards, sport as all the time, by no means reduce it to lower than double digits the remainder of the way in which.
