Big game tonight vs. #7 Baylor

Can't wait to watch.

For a guy who grew up watching Iowa men's basketball in the '80s (even when Vivian had things rocking for the women), it took me a long time to really get into Iowa women's basketball.

But the past few years, it's been the Iowa team (of any sport) I've most enjoyed watching. Not even sure it's been close.

Chit Chat Wright is a super fun addition, too. And the number one Hawkeye name of all time.

Hawks have lost the 2 times they've faced each other. Once in the Sweet Sixteen and once in the Elite 8. Time for a payback! Go Hawks!

Man, that was some funky hoops tonight.
At one point, Baylor was 1 for 18...and Iowa had a 1-pt lead.
Rodriguez was a walking turnover all night -- she must have had 7 at least -- but then she came down with a minute remaining and the game on the line and went 1-on-1 to the hoop on a fast break for the basket. Sweet.
McCabe then intercepted the inbounds pass for an easy layup, a 5 pt lead -- game over.
It was ugly, but a W is a W. No way Baylor is the 7th best team in the nation -- heck, they played as tho they'd never seen, let alone played against, a matchup zone. And the BTen probably has 4 teams better than them -- but it's a good win.
Stremlow deserves BIG kudos for running the PG position when Chit Chat went down, AND nailing 3s in the 2nd half. Right now her stroke is looking like the best on the team.

Ohmygoodness the Emely double spin and miss the bucket when she should've brought it out and ran clock. What a head shaking game. McCabe with the steal and score! Who would've thought that would happen. Just nuts! This young team started growing up during this game and thank heavens for The Strem Show! Hope everybody is ok and I'm proud of the way this team came together and found a way to win! GO HAWKS!!!!!!
Beating a top 10 team keeps the streak alive.
