This is the 4th time I’ve watched Iowa play this year. Why is it their perimeter players are so much effective at firing the ball inside to Czinano but when our perimeter players try to feed it inside to a post player, almost half the time it results in a turnover? 

 

Different offensive and defensive schemes by two different teams.  Each are doing it how the coaches have planned. Positioning of the other players affect how you can make passes.

If you rewatch the game, check out Clark at about the 3:45 mark of the 2nd quarter.  She's standing with the ball at the top of the key, and probably shuffles her feet 4 or 5 times.  Ref is right there.

She's been known to get away with that.  Ref, rules are rules.

Horrible end to the half. Face it, Clark is going to be protected by the officials so we have to live with it.  But that last bucket was way too easy.  Sam watched Cnizano lay it in like she watched Marshall bury a three to end the first quarter.  Her head doesn’t seem to be in the game.  Play Moriarity, at least she will try to defend.  

 

We cannot let this effort from Jaz and Alexis go for naught.  We have a chance if everyone will play.  Iowa will get contributions from everyone.

Better Defense, or schemes?   Seems like we are always trying to get the ball to Alexis in the middle of a forest of arms.  Besides Czinano is a very experienced, smart player.  Edit:  And Well-coached (tks @All About the Corn)

 

(sorry, I didn't see your response @redsteve)
