The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gobblercountry.com\/\">Virginia Tech<\/a> senior point guard possesses her own deep bag of tricks, with a deft handle, playmaking poise and, most notably, a penchant to get hot from downtown. <\/p>\n<p id=\"yv7rcO\">Clark, at 6-foot-0 with long limbs, can rain 3s over most perimeter defenders with relative ease. In contrast, the 5-foot-6 Amoore often has to create space for her off-the-dribble treys. She does so with flair and facility, unleashing nasty stepbacks and sidesteps to open the windows needed to fire off 3-pointers. <\/p>\n<div id=\"OWKsZQ\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As a coach all you want them to do is listen, learn and apply! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/georgia_amoore?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@georgia_amoore<\/a> does just that! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ispA7pgpsU\">pic.twitter.com\/ispA7pgpsU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kenny Brooks (@CoachBrooksVT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoachBrooksVT\/status\/1722320583906541724?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 8, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"wZ7I6Z\">While basketball is a team game, it would be quite fun if Thursday night\u2019s game turns into a shooting contest between Clark and Amoore, with each one upping the other with increasingly absurd behind-the-arc bombs. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"MGT8Wl\"><strong>Can Iowa contain Kitley?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"5BEbPx\">In Virginia Tech\u2019s opening romp of High Point, fifth-year big Elizabeth Kitley, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/ncaa\/2023\/10\/29\/23932433\/ncaa-wnba-all-america-caitlin-clark-angel-reese-overtime-select-tasha-butts-cancer-brittney-griner\">preseason All-American<\/a>, scored 27 points in 26 minutes of play, while also grabbing 11 rebounds and swatting a pair of shots. Iowa doesn\u2019t have anyone who approaches the 6-foot-6 Kitley; the Hawkeyes\u2019 starting frontcourt is 6-foot-3 redshirt junior center Sharon Goodman and 6-foot-2 sophomore forward Hannah Stuelke.<\/p>\n<div id=\"bwUryF\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe don\u2019t want to prove others wrong, we want to prove ourselves right.\u201d &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elizabethkitley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@elizabethkitley<\/a>   <\/p>\n<p>Full VT\/Iowa preview: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ea2Q4mzsQF\">https:\/\/t.co\/ea2Q4mzsQF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/f2OF5VTNI4\">pic.twitter.com\/f2OF5VTNI4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kelly Gramlich (@kellygramlich) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kellygramlich\/status\/1722236394591179074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 8, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"iCvjSX\">While Iowa is accustomed to being undersized, combatting a player with the talent and touch of Kitley is a tall order. If she consistently establishes post position and dominates the glass, that might be the edge the Hokies need to defeat the Hawkeyes. However, Iowa\u2019s offense, specifically their offensive pace, might be their best counter to Kitley. Like most players of her size, Kitley isn\u2019t the most fleet of foot. If Iowa can fly up, down and around the court for quick buckets, they can prevent Kitley from establishing a comfortable rhythm and punishing the Hawkeyes with her size.  <\/p>\n<aside id=\"vAvgQJ\">\n<div data-anthem-component=\"readmore\" data-anthem-component-data='{\"stories\":[{\"title\":\"No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes kick off season with a blowout victory over Fairleigh Dickinson\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/ncaa\/2023\/11\/7\/23950215\/ncaa-iowa-hawkeyes-fairleigh-dickinson-caitlin-clark-hannah-stuelke-lisa-bluder-goodman-davis-martin\"}]}'><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2 id=\"xM9HGt\"><strong>Iowa\u2019s continuity advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"LuvI9P\">After losing Monika Czinano and McKenna Warnock to graduation, Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder elevated two players\u2014Goodman and Stuelke\u2014familiar with the Hawkeyes\u2019 system and culture into the starting lineup. Bluder also can call on reserves who have spent their entire college careers in Iowa City, like fifth-year guard Molly Davis and junior guard Sydney Affolter. This sense of familiarity, especially early in the season, gives the Hawkeyes an edge over most opponents, including the Hokies. <\/p>\n<div id=\"wMVACm\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Because we all need more angles of this play&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sydneyaffolter1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sydneyaffolter1<\/a> x <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davismolly14?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@davismolly14<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Hawkeyes?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Hawkeyes<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZEjw9fjc1i\">pic.twitter.com\/ZEjw9fjc1i<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Iowa Women&#8217;s Basketball (@IowaWBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IowaWBB\/status\/1721941206286901584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 7, 2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"n4RyyA\">While the Amoore, Kitley and grad wing Cayla King form the core of the Hokies, head coach Kenny Brooks rounds out his rotation with new faces. Replacing Kayana Traylor and Taylor Soule are two transfers: junior wing Matilda Ekh from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theonlycolors.com\/\">Michigan State<\/a> and junior forward Rose Micheaux from Minnesota. Of course, both Traylor and Soule arrived at Virginia Tech as transfers, only to become crucial contributors to Final Four team. New faces aren\u2019t necessarily a weakness. Off the bench, Brooks will turn to another transfer in grad wing Olivia Summiel from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloggersodear.com\/\">Wake Forest<\/a>, as well as redshirt freshman guard Carleigh Wenzel. A lack a familiarity wasn\u2019t an issue against High Point, but, in a potentially close game against Iowa, still-developing chemistry could cause trouble for Virginia Tech. <\/p>\n<div
