*****Iowa vs UConn Game Thread****

[LetsGoHawks83]

That would be the opposite of what you want to do when holding for the final shot...

 

[CleteyColgate]

Iowa is not a smart team at all

 

[WDSMHawk]

Strong and Quionnez have 40 combined.

 

[DTP2]

So many god awful turnovers just from being dumb.

 

[Hawkeye1984]

Jan will never beat an elite team. She isn’t that great of a coach. She is over her head in these games.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Heiden got 8 minutes in the half.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Not that this was an issue Jan needed to address in the offseason or anything...........

That comment won't go over well!

 

[IowaCityLit]

Just getting obliterated on the boards. Might need to have Journey at the 3.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Heiden got 8 minutes in the half.

Hays came in and immediately showed she's still not ready for this moment

 

[Manfredi]

Aren't at least two of these refs from the W?

just checked...all 3 are WNBA refs.

 

[KurtWarner]

I was one to think hays needed more games to prove herself. I'm changing my opinion, I don't think she has what it takes to play at a high level

So was Jan for the better part of 20 years..........

WE ARE FINE WE HAVE 9 PLAYERS

 

[Denmar]

This defensive effort is pathetic. Close outs are so slow. Jan has the Fran philosophy that defense is secondary.

 

[Randon]

Ava hasn't learned a thing from last year with her tendency for stupid fouls. Her sitting on the bench is really hurting this team.

^^^^^

If JJ is here next season, she's gonna have to VASTLY overpay for a backup center.

The current situation is untenable.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

just checked...all 3 are WNBA refs.

And that's gonna greatly benefit Geno.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hustle defensively, good fundamentals, and playing the right way is winning the game for UConn. 12 assisted baskets.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Just getting obliterated on the boards. Might need to have Journey at the 3.

UConn: 20-11 in rebounds. And 6-1 in OB's. Clobbered. Keep standing around and not boxing out.

Many said it this offseason and here we are. Jan thinks Hays is a competent backup.

Yep...down 15 and we got guys blaming the officials.

That's Iowa State's approach.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Turnovers 9-8, but you wouldn't know that if you just read this thread.........BAU.

 

[Anon1750875978]

I'm sorry, she's more a UNI level and I can't be the only one that knows that.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Welp, that'll do it for Heiden until the 4th Qtr......

 

[Manfredi]

Ava just can't stop with the frustration fouls...damn

 

[Hawksfor3]

Yep...down 15 and we got guys blaming the officials.

That's Iowa State's approach.

However, on Heiden's shot it looked like Strong got her on the hand. But.......the color analyst said, "All ball" LOL.

 

[Hawksfor3]

25-11 beaten on rebounds.

 

[2212hawk2]

Blowout.

Again.

 

[DTP2]

They do know they can run the baseline and come to the ball?

 

[KurtWarner]

Wtf ava

 

[DTP2]

Is Carnegie going to show up this year?

 

[Jonesy5960]

They look just completely lost and outclassed today.

 

[Denmar]

They do know they can run the baseline and come to the ball?

Doubt it. Haven’t done it most of the game

 

[Hawksfor3]

Put the bench in, Jan, so Geno puts his in.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Is Carnegie going to show up this year?

3-10. Ughh.

 

[bulletproof90]

Team’s going to get better, and playing UConn at their place after they’re coming off a loss, and having their NPOY shoot out of her mind, is a horrible break..

But after the way the UCLA blowout completely zapped this team’s confidence last year, this suuuucks.

 

[Hawksfor3]

CCW with 14. Only spark for us.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Put the bench in, Jan, so Geno puts his in.

This is looking looking like a UCLA type beat down.

 

[Iowameat]

God we miss 22 and Lisa B

 

[Manfredi]

Rebounding effort has been beyond poor
