CC is very sloppy right now.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Jebus FVCKING C, Caitlin! Did you even pay attention to the scout.

Stop the STUPID forced passes into Steulke, against their post whose gonna swat Stuelke's shot.
Get your head in the game!

Does Lisa know about Time Outs

Her and Fran wait about 2 min too long.

C'mon Bluder. For God's sake, your entire team is hands-on-knees gassed and you can't call a damn timeout??!!

Is anybody on the G-damn Iowa bench paying attention to what's happening on the floor and capable of making adjustments?

I don't care what the score is / how early it is. This game is 100% favoring LSU and not even minimal effort to recognize and adapt.

Have to get rebounds. Letting HVL throw up bricks. Let’s go Hawks.

 

[thedukeofearl]

There is that fake to get the opponent off her feet

Seems to be missing from the Hawkeye play book

 

[SCHawkeye2]

Caitlin playing the long game. Trying to get it to her teammates to draw fouls and get some of their better players out of the game. Teammates need to step up.

 

[thedukeofearl]

The bounce pass is apparently an unknown factor

 

[M1911A1Hawkeye]

Nice

This freaking game is making me drink a lot on a Monday.

Rebounfss NOT going to happen very often ... pretty much never on offense.
All the more reason must be driving most possessions.
Can't live and die by the 3 cuz every miss will be 1 and done.

Hell yeah.

 

[trj]

Hell yeah.

That is where I am at and I really wasn’t planning on it.

 

[Dadman]

You betcha! Wont let me upload my photo of my tall boy and two empties!

That's been a very stupid strategy so far. Forcing teammates into unwinnable situations / matchups ... Caitlin needs to step up and recognize the passing lanes aren't there like usual and Reese / Morrow are gonna swat the shot more than foul. Just basic women's bball physics that height trumps.

 

[justwinbaby]

That shot by Flaue Jae at the end of the half was a thing of beauty.

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.
