Their post is very agile and #24 can shoot. And that guard #4 is very, very quick -- much quicker than anyone we have. I didn't look at their heights but I have no idea who on our team would have the quickness and size to guard Clark. Based on what I saw today, I don't think we would survive playing them in the tournament.
Green grass syndrome, I think.

WarrenNolan SOS ranks Stanford #2 and Iowa #21. (Actually Stanford's opponents have a higher win percentage than SOS #1 So. Carolina.)
LOL do I wish we had Clark (or even #4) in our back court? Who wouldn’t.
We arguably have the best post tandem in the country. We’ll go as far as they can take us. It’s no secret that guard play is often the decider in the post-season, and that is our vulnerability.
The only green I see is a bit of envy.
And I’d love to see Maples packed like that.
