73 "It makes it easy for me with how good the rest of our team is," Logic said. "I don't have to score for us to win; anyone can pick up the slack in any situation." at explains why Logic attempted 20 field goals during a win against California-Riverside and one shot during victories against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and North Carolina-Wilmington. "It's not about her getting points," UI head coach Lisa Bluder said. "In one game she will have 20 points because we needed her to have 20; the next game she will take one shot. It is unusual to have a kid that does what you need her to do to win and not worry about the stat sheet." Logic was named first-team All-Big Ten and honorable mention All-America last season. She is a pass-first point guard who deliberately involves teammates as early as she can aer opening tip. Her career assist total is 92 more than any Hawkeye in history, and Logic has the majority of a season to play. "I always like assists. It's why I am a great fit at Iowa because we value assists so much," Logic said. "We value making an extra pass and getting the open shot. I have had great teammates who knocked down shots for me — Morgan Johnson, Kamille Wahlin, Jaime Printy, eairra Taylor, Melissa Dixon, Ally Disterho, Bethany Doolittle. I have been blessed with the talent that has surrounded me, taught me, and embraced me for what I can bring to the team." Logic is a nightmare for opposing coaches because of her versatility at both ends of the court. She can hit the 3 and post up smaller defenders. She can guard a center or pick a point guard's pocket at midcourt. And Logic checked her ego at the doors to Carver-Hawkeye Arena years ago. "It's not about her, it's all about the Hawks," Bluder said. W hat sticks out about University of Iowa women's basketball senior Sam Logic? Receiving eight stiches before returning to play against Syracuse? Five career triple-doubles in points, assists, and rebounds? Losing a tooth against Dayton and then knocking down a game- tying 3-pointer to force overtime? Amassing a school-record 668 career assists? Receiving eight more stitches and again returning to play against Iowa State? Starting 108 consecutive games? ere is no refuting Logic's toughness…or her talent. e 5-foot-9 do-everything guard from Racine, Wisconsin, enters the eighth game of her final collegiate season with 1,172 points (22nd in school history), 733 rebounds (11th), 668 assists (first), and 213 steals (tied for fih). Compiling flashy numbers is nice, but they aren't this girl's best friend. "We want a ring. We want a Big Ten championship," said Logic, answering in her typical "we" not "I" rhetoric. e Hawkeyes finished 27-9 last season, advancing to the NCAA Tournament for a seventh consecutive time. Aer tying for fourth in the regular season with an 11-5 record, Iowa defeated Illinois, Purdue, and Ohio State to make the Big Ten Tournament championship game against Nebraska. In the title game, Logic scored 14 points with six assists, and six rebounds, but the Hawkeyes fell seven points shy of a win…and a ring. "We're hungrier to come back this year and do whatever we can, whatever way we can, to try to get one," Logic said. You can't think of the 2014-15 Hawkeye women's basketball team without first thinking of Logic. But she is reluctant to admit that she sticks out in the black and gold huddle.
