Can we beat the Bruins?...thread

[Seth53]

Can anybody?

Give it a solid effort Lady Hawks.
But don't get hurt or exhausted today.
A #2 NCAA seed is yours regardless of today's outcome.
Bigger prizes await.

Go Hawks.

I really thought it was cool yesterday when Michigan was shooting free throws and the entire crowd was yelling I-OW-A! The arena today should be almost all a pro-Iowa crowd. Maybe that will make an impression on that 5-star recruit that's everybody wants, if she is watching today.

We'll see if the refs are going to call a good game or a bad game. I know it's silly. Women's refs are terrible.

I tend to agree.

Why do you think this is prevalent?

You never know, it could work to Iowa's advantage. Michigan seem to wear itself out playing all that "intense" defense yesterday.

 

[judzeehawk]

Ava hasn't been playing very well lately. Hope she snaps out of it.

 

[Seth53]

Nothing inside thus far

 

[judzeehawk]

All our shots are short. Not a good indication for today.

Yeah, noticed that. And the passes inside are telegraphed

 

[STILLBUSTER]

As if Betts isn't beast enough, they have others with length to close all passing lanes and reach without fouling. Then, Kiki just has shoot around
Gonna take 50+% makes - most from 3 - and UCLA having an off day to even sniff a W. Certainly can't be tentative nor have goofy things like Kylie, Deal and ChitChat challenging the middle and getting blocked / stripped
So far, Iowa doing all those wrong things

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Oh boy ... Iowa psyched out.
They have like 2 minutes to settle down and play smart ball or this is gonna be a 25+ point blowout.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Travel much, little Betts?

 

[Seth53]

Good gawd hawks

 

[Seth53]

Welp.....

 

[STILLBUSTER]

There it is ...
Game over. Embarrassing loss on deck!
Still, think Hawks have 2 seed locked down.
In meantime, I'm out. Gotta figure how to watch USA team this week.
Back to Lady Hawks in a cpl weekends.

 

[Dadman]

Had hoped for a better showing. This is a flat out beatdown

 

[judzeehawk]

Game over. Hawks are just plain tuckered out.

 

[Seth53]

UCLA too quick, too tall.

Toying with Iowa.

 

[Dadman]

Jan: if the game plan was to lose by 40 points, it’s working……

 

[Dadman]

Might be best to just shoot 3’s.
