FREEPORT, Bahamas — Samantha Logic gave Iowa a glimpse of a bright future despite a tough loss.
The Hawkeyes fell to No. 5 Texas A&M 74-58 on Saturday, but their 5-foot-9 freshman guard had 16 points and nine rebounds, including five offensive boards in the Lucaya Division championship game at the Junkanoo Jam.
Sydney Carter led A&M with 21 points, including 17 in the first half. Adaora Elonu added 13 points for the defending national champs and Kelsey Bone scored 12 points, 10 in the second half.
“I thought Sam Logic competed out there. She looked like she belonged,” Iowa coach Lisa Bluder said. “She wanted it, and I like that mentality out of a freshman. She just hustles. She never stops. You love a kid who’s diving for loose balls and trying to create situations and not backing down as a freshman.
“She’s going against a couple all-Americans, Carter and Bone, and she’s in there battling away.”
Logic hit 7 of 15 from the field and 2 of 2 free throws for her 16 points.
“I just think that I try to bring intensity to the court, whether it’s offensive rebounding, or defense,” Logic said. “At any point, I just try to bring it and take advantage of whatever the other team gives me.”
Iowa (4-2) hosts Virginia Tech on Wednesday.
