Hawks really getting out hustled and out shot and out coached by BDogs thru 1st Q. Absolutely ️ raining 3 and getting loose balls.
Meanwhile, defense is horrible! OGrady has 14 of first 16 points and Melagni + McCabe think they need to start shooting 5 secs into every posession.

Expect Iowa to eek it out but only if they realize they have to defend top of key and feed the posts!

OK! Took a breath and letting it unfold.
D still pretty poor but think it's just gonna be who they are - enough to get by.
Drake averaging to the norm from outside (thank God), Iowa settling down on offense, Mallegni starting to get in groove. (She's fearless and gonna be huge impact player but has to see beyond herself)
All of sudden Hawks up 10 at half. Big sigh of relief!

O'Grady becoming Cinzano like efficient this year

Yes, she really is good at handling feeds both posting up and on the break. She does tire quickly and gets clumsy + slow to board + slow on D but, who cares! Feed the beast ... Get 20 and 8 from her and we'll deal with the rest.

I was expecting 1/2 those #s so I'm loving what I'm seeing so far.

Oy, Vey!!
Hannah really having a weak game today. Struggling to defend and just got stuffed and stolen in very unusual fashion! Led to lead down to 5.
Bounce back 4th quarter...

Nice bucket Ally... Nice steal Lucy ... Let's go Hawks!

Lot's of phantom whistles in 4Q

Nice road win. Looks like a top 25-30 team in a rebuild year.

Drake shot and made 24 of 32 free throws to Iowa's11 made of 17. The three point percent moved up to 31% . I'm using the box score since I was unable to watch the game. There might have a little home cooking with game at Drake.

Agree ... If they make NCAA it's a bonus.
It's gonna be a challenge against a lotta teams on the docket but maybe sneaky good enough at the right time?

It was but seems to be all of women's bball - refs are very subpar between letting them play and calling everything.
