If you look at the stats. LSU had more shots, made more shots, won the rebound battle by 18, had more fast break points, more points in the paint etc. But they let Clark get hot early by playing dumb coverages. And whenever they closed the gap and had a chance to take over the game they went cold and let Clark hit threes.
What makes Carolina tough Is they have the height advantage for rebounds, have multiple scorers, can hit threes or live in the paint, their bench is stacked, they're tough defensively and have faced a great three point shooting team already in Indiana who hit 13 threes just like Iowa did today. NC state are another great three point shooting team with two elite guards so it will be another good experience for them if they meet Iowa down the road.
