Zero points by Clark in the 4th. Think she was trying to save the record for a home game?

That's why Kendall Moriarty deserves the game ball.  I reject ant argument to that

Actually I think yes.  (I said that watching the game. It looked like that was the plan.) Clark seemed to be holding back...not throwing up the mid court screaming shots.

Blubber said this week, just that possibility ......that it would be nice to break the record in Iowa.   But it backfired...in the fourth especially. We took the game away from them.

 

Great game by our side. Our guard scoring was a huge difference. Not just Alexis and Jazz doing all the scoring. Team win. Even thought Mariority (and The other Kendall)...  were not the big scorers, ...but their defense on Clark did bother Clark.  Markowski was in control of the middle. She kept them from scoring a lot in the paint...we did just the opposite, scored well in the paint. A our freshmen were outstanding

 

And...Williams job is safe for another few years. :)

My line of thinking.  Iowa is an elite team with, arguably, the best player that has come around the pike.  I want us to be competitive; but there is no way we can win.

Now, that said, if there is some way we get it done and win; then there will be pure ecstasy.   

...ECSTASY...

Moriarty was in her shorts most of that 4th quarter.  And my friends, she was blocking out the sun.

As everyone on this board knows. I rarely step into this forum.  You guys do an absolutely fabulous job of pushing your passion!  FWIW, no chance Clark threw a game to get a meaningless scoring record set at Carver Hawkeye arena.  When I say meaningless, every record holder knows some day that record will be broken.  Could be high school, college or professional level. I'm happy for the Huskers.  I feel sorry for stupid people. Iowa seems to have more than their fair share....

Here's a comment I saw elsewhere I thought worth repeating:

Not ashamed to admit I'm in tears. That was absolutely beautiful!!!!

KMo's defense against Clark was amazing. Clark also showed the kind of player she is. Absolutely selfish terrible shots late in the 4th.

 

[All About the Corn]

Yes good defense on Clark helped, but we all know if she wants to score she will find a way. So if the plan was to have her get close and then set it at home, we’ll it took them out of what they had been doing. So yes maybe a little of both. They could not recover when the game was suddenly in the line. And we finished it strong.

Yep, and I found her on the court and told her great job of D on Clark.

[Huskerpapa]

I now find it almost impossible to believe we were beat by Rutgers at home.  Painful.

Disagree here, The way CC is, she would have loved to rub our noses in breaking the record in Nebraska.

Bladent push offs from Clark and no calls

I wasn't able to watch the game, but this is the thing that pisses me off the most about her.  Talked about it in past years as well.  She extends the arm all the time and gets called for it about 1 out of 50 times.  She also initiates contact on her drives all the time and gets the call 3 out of 4 times when there is no foul.  If she doesn't get the call she whines and pouts all the way down the floor after she makes the layup.  She's insufferable.  She's certainly the best player I've ever seen, but I would guess that about 20% of her statistical success is a direct result of the star bias treatment she gets.

It was worse than that, She pushed KM away with both hands right in front of a ref.

Yeah, when she gets a little frustrated, she kicks it up a notch because she's been babied her whole career.

[Fastbreaker]

You people who think that Clark held back to set the record at home are full of b.s. No athlete thinks like that. Give some credit to our defense and offense.

CC wasn't getting the calls that she thought she was due. Boy does she have a rude awaking in the WNBA.
