LSU head coach Kim Mulkey said she only got to catch the end of Iowa’s 77-73 win over South Carolina in the national semifinals Friday night. But that was all...
Against 6-7 South Carolina center Kamilla Cardoso, Czinano, who is listed at 6-3, accounted for 18 points and eight rebounds. She shot 6 for 8 from the field and a perfect 6 for 6 from the free throw line.In fact, in Iowa’s first three NCAA tournament games, Czinano dribbled just once, according to ESPN.
Defending Czinano will be key for LSU because its strength lies inside. The Tigers rank second in the nation in rebounding margin, outrebounding opponents by an average of 16 per game. Whenin the third quarter, it was losing the rebounding battle 33 to 24. In the fourth quarter, when it went on a 15-0 run, it controlled the boards 12 to 5.
“She’s advanced her game differently at LSU,” Czinano said Saturday. “Kim Mulkey is obviously a phenomenal coach and has expanded her game. She handles the ball way more than she ever did at Maryland.”
