ISU played hard last night, but we weren't exactly playing out of our minds. We made a ton of mistakes and really struggled to finish at the rim. Not sure what Clark's comments at halftime were all about. It was actually two pretty evenly-matched teams playing a very competitive game.
Obviously I'm no fan of Iowa, but taking the rivalry blinders off and just objectively watching Iowa, they aren't a top 5 team. They have the best player on the court every night, but the supporting cast isn't there. When you have one player (regardless of her talent) score all of your points in a quarter in a really tight game, you have roster issues.
Iowa is good. I think they're more top 15-20ish instead of top 5. If the supporting cast gets better throughout the season they can be top 10.
