Clark should have been double teamed. The rest of the Iowa team can not beat us. If Clark has 33 points, we win. A double team could have shaved off a min. of 10 of her points.

People keep saying this that if Clark would've scored 10 less points by doubling her we win. But you do realize other people could have scored on these possessions right? Affolter had 16 points and Martin 21 for them also.

The thing about doubling a player like Clark is in the women's game they obviously aren't as quick as men. And even in the men's game they can't rotate fast enough when they double someone to prevent someone else from getting a wide open shot. That's what would've happened here as long as iowa had good spacing which they did. Doubling Clark would've just lead to someone else getting a wide open shot.

I think Clark is the type of player you just have to let her get hers because she's just going to. But don't let Affolter and Matin get 16 and 21. They got so many wide open easy baskets and that was really the difference.
