Hard fought win @ MSU

Congrats to Iowa on the tough 52-50 win at MSU to break the streak! This time they found a way and did it with defense and rebounding. Good job Iowa! It is the first win of the season when scoring under 70 points too. I am really liking how this team is playing.
 
All you have to do is look at their last several years of recruiting to see their future looking brighter with several Top 100 prospects that are now key contributors for the team. They are also capitalizing on this momentum with a 2014 recruiting class ranked in the Top 20.

Good recruiting is usually good medicine.
 
Teams are really covering up Melissa Dixon and not allowing her any room at the 3pt line. Somehow this team found a way to win.

Very entertaining game to watch. Way to go Hawks!
 
The last two minutes of it was one of the biggest cluster....s I've seen so far. The NCAA needs to get rid of looking at stupid replays on nearly every call late in games asap...or get rid of the referees who make the calls, one or the other. Replay is creating more controversy / confusion / 'game lengthening' than it'll ever be worth. Kind of like the football playoff system which was supposed to end all the controversy & contentions, of which it solved neither.
 
I'm sorry, but are we really talking about women's basketball. Call me a chauvinist, but come on, Women's basketball? when's the last time you saw dicky v or jay Bilas at a women's game, or see sportscenter show highlights from a women's NCAA on their sportscenter top ten.

Apparently so. If you don't want to, find another thread.
 
The worse call in the final minute was having Iowa inbound it the second time with .5 left. Even if the clock did start early when it was imbounded to Ally Disterholf the .5 seconds should have been ticked. Yes a lot of that was a mess, I'm just glad none if it cost Iowa the win. Winning at MSU is always fun!

Plus, what you had there, was some Townie/homer running the clock, saving
seconds for his 'spartie' gals. Glad the IOWA Women kept their composure and
persevered. NICE WIN for the Top 20 ranked Hawkeyes

The women's team is fun to watch. They did not play well today though, couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, they were on the road and still managed a win. Give em a shot sometime.

One thing about them is they play high intensity for a full 40 minutes.
 
MSU was ranked at the start of the season and have been poor in conference play, but they are a better team than they've shown. Iowa will be happy to have this one in the books as MSU improves. Can someone show the chauvinist jonrn the door.
 
The girls really hung in their today even after all the eye poking that was never called. How can you stick your finger in someone's eye and not get called for a foul? The shots weren't dropping but they played tuff hard nosed basketball. As for t h e chauvinist hope you never have any girls. I would feel very sorry for them.
 
Definitely not a well called game. That seems to happen often with m$u. However the ladies overcame that and a day that the shots were not falling. So that's a positive that they can find a way to win games like these.
 
Two tough games Michigan and Nebraska, hope we have some Hawk fans in attendance to report for those of us who live out of town. Thanks in advance.
