Georgia again.. just like it was Colorado again.. and possibly a 3rd game vs K State.
Guessing we got Georgia(possibly) because their coach played at Iowa and women’s committee loves the drama. Just be nice for fresh matchups.

The praise for Cotie McMahon is beyond me. What is wrong with these analysts?
Yeah I didn’t really care for Georgia’s players or their coach a few years ago when we beat them in the tourney. Came off as a bunch of sore losers. They were definitely a tough out.
Fun memory from that game: that’s how Gabby got the nickname “pretty eyes.”

These are the same gals who couldn’t get enough of Reese a few years ago. I’m not surprised they have a type.
She's physical and averages 20ppg. For comparison, Heiden averages 17.5
Reese was an AA, All SEC, averaged 23ppg and 15rebounds per game. Hard to believe but there were more people to talk about that year than just Clark.
I never said Clark was the only player who should’ve been talked about that year, or that Reese didn’t deserve recognition for what she accomplished. She absolutely had a great season. What rubbed me the wrong way was seeing them laughing about Reese doing that gesture toward Clark in the national championship game. It reminded me a lot of the attitude we saw from Swoopes. And from what we saw against OSU last year, Cotie seems to have developed a similar reputation.

Correct. There were frequently two or three commentators yakking at the same and laughing raucously, etc. Don't they provide any training to these ladies to not talk over each other constantly?

Ya they had 5 analysts. Did they really need that many?
I need that many to encourage me to wake up and face the reality of what will be posted HROT
Appreciate your thoughtful contribution. I’ll spare the board and put you on ignore.
Thank you
Cotie M. is a lot like Angel... they're princesses who have been told their whole lives how much more special they are than all the other players out there, and when they run into a skinny white girl from Iowa who's light years better than they are and who the country pays way, way more attention to, they can't handle it.
How on earth do you think ISU is going to upset UConn? Lol.
Cotie McMahon went off for 33 points and 12 boards when Ohio State beat Iowa in Clark's senior year.
Yep. It drives her absolutely mad that most of the country doesn't know her name and couldn't pick her out of a lineup.
Does it? Has she told you that? Or are we just projecting onto her what we want her to be?
I doubt she's sitting around talking about Clark, but here we are sitting around talking about her.
Skill? Coincidence? Or maybe good ol Charlie has more influence and/or inside information than people realize..Hmmmm....
Prob using the NET and WAB rankings and then going by guidelines of attempting to avoid rematches, prob got 1, 2, 3 seed pretty easily. Georgia was probably his toughest guess.Skill? Coincidence? Or maybe good ol Charlie has more influence and/or inside information than people realize..Hmmmm....
Lol, right, just like we're projecting onto Angel Reese and Sheryl Swoopes and Monica McNutt and all the others what we want them to be. Of course they don't really resent CC and the global fame and the tens of millions in endorsements and the fact that she's recognized and praised all over the world. Of course not. Lol.
McMahon's exactly the same. She's talked garbage about her. She's taken cheap shots at her when they played. She's whined about CC getting away with stuff she wouldn't get away with. Lol. Open your eyes.
