Stuelke 3rd foul.

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Great job Kate.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

All my ragging on CC ... she's not getting nearly the help she needs from the rest. Way too many missed bunnies.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Repeat of the first half ... key time out by Mulkey.
Are you paying attention Lisa ... Jan ... recognize what happened and keep your radar up before you let the momentum swing!

 

[Dadman]

I am too damn old for this stress on my ticker!

 

[BigD]

That’s it lady’s run, run, run and wear down those bigger players!

 

[thedukeofearl]

Hell yeah.

DAMN

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Hot damn Clark.

It’s the physicality of the southern teams that gives them the advantage. The lame rules of women’s basketball gives the bigger teams a huge advantage as the smaller teams count on officials to call fouls to give them hope. You heard the announcers say that physical contact is ok as long as it doesn’t affect the play.

So thuggery is ok as long as it doesn’t affect the play. Duh. You can beat down a team physically and not get called for fouls. This is why the pro level of women’s basketball hasn’t taken off. Who wants to see this clumsy athletic behavior at a pro-level. It is so high school like.

Both LSU and South Carolina have this blatant foul infested type of basketball. The WNBA is going no where until they stop this stupid shit.

Salt Lake City at one time had a WNBA team but it didn’t work.

Cait has been a huge draw to the sport because she brings to the game the finesse that lacking in the game in general. There are other players that have that same skill but if the sport doesn’t start calling fouls it will never be popular enough to become a major sport that is followed by large crowd size. The average salary of $25,000 speaks for itself.

Don’t kid yourself.

The reason the salaries are $25k is because women’s basketball is terrible regardless of north/south ncaa/WNBA. Flame me if you want, but it’s true. The highest level of women’s basketball is clumsy and unauthentic compared to even average high school boys basketball.

There can be excitement and good storylines, but don’t kid yourself that it’s anything people want to watch on a big scale. If it was good basketball people would want to watch.

Here is the run where they can end this.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Good God! EVERY damn rebound / loose ball and LSU just beating Iowa's ass to it.

 

[Hawkboys]

Alfalter needs to shoot the open 3

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Hell yeah.

Calling Syd Affolter. Syd? Syd? Syd? Need ya Syd!

 

[trj]

They have LSU on the ropes…knock them the f*ck out.

 

[Hawkboys]

LSU is gassed

 

[SCHawkeye2]

Iowa missing some easy points at the basket

 

[thedukeofearl]

I best the neighbors house on the Hawks

Convinced his wife to sigh the papers

Agreed to split the winnings with her

She agreed to take responsibility for losing the bet

It's All Good

 

[justwinbaby]
