3rd quarter was fine, first 4-5 minutes of the 4th quarter were almost their undoing.
Extremely physical. Had the game gone another minute or so, probably 5 different WV players would have ended up fouling out.
I don't think there were any Iowa transition baskets. Game was completely played at WV's pace. Stuelke still seems like she's ill (she missed the previous game), got her points but was not a particularly effective scorer inside. Otherwise Clark would have been in double digits for assists once again.

As a Princeton fan I will admit it's probably sour grapes, but WVA was badly underseeded as a #8 seed, should have been a 5 or 6 seed. They're very good.

I didn't see the Princeton game, but Iowa was basically giving WV open three point shots all game long. WV made enough of them in key spots to stay in this one.

My thought watching the game, as well.

It's also what can happen when Caitlin Clark is just a really good player and not Superwoman.

She had a typical Clark game (which is Superwoman quality) except for the assist category but, as mentioned, Stuelke wasn't particularly strong at converting excellent passes from Clark that she received down low. She did get to the line a bunch of times, but this was not reflected in the Clark stats.
