[1hawkeye1]

This is too much for me

Who's gonna step u p for the HAWKS? Melissa Dixon!

 

[1hawkeye1]

Well SOB

 

[judzeehawk]

We're not playing smart right now.

I wish. They ain't giving her an inch of room

 

[1hawkeye1]

I wish Iowa women could press.

 

[1hawkeye1]

HA OSU in the lane too early and their FT is nullified.

 

[1hawkeye1]

How Whitney Jennings gets her shot off when she is about 5' nothing amazes me.

 

[judzeehawk]

That one hurt!

 

[1hawkeye1]

And Iowa leaves their 3 point sniper open. Poor defensive awareness and that will be the ball game.

If Iowa was just a little better on defense they would win this game. As it is, their defense stinks and they lose. It happens.

Lookin forward to the NCAA's

OSU wins the game, but they are still ugly.

The 2nd half of the year has produced little defense from the women. My prediction is they will not go far in the tourney unfortunately.

 

[judzeehawk]

Well that sucked.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Hell of a game. The 3's by OSU in OT were too much. Hawks couldn't score late in regulation or at the end of OT.

Tough loss.

Yeah fun team to watch.... but no excuse to leave their best player open like that.


They have some good offensive players and some shooters but they are pretty soft on defense.

Don't really agree with you on the defense......they just turn the ball over to much. As far as the tourney I would say they win a couple rounds. It's pretty hard to win when your best player is sitting on the bench. Still.......I'm very proud of these girls and proud to be a HAWKEYE FAN! bounce back girls and well see you in Carver!

Depending on seed and region this team has the fire power to get to the Elite 8..

You don't have to agree on the defense, but Iowa gave up 72.6 points per game this year. That's not good. The turnovers were a problem as you said. Don't get me wrong. This is a fun team to watch. However, giving up that many points per game will get them a quicker exit in the tourney then they'd like. I don't think this team is built for defense though. Dixon, who's fun to watch on three point shots is in all honesty a liability defensively as is Jennings.

I actually think Jennings plays pretty good defense. She's extremely quick and moves her feet well. But like you said, Dixon is not good on defense. At all. Still love to watch her play though. Quickest release I've ever seen.
