Iowa vs Nebraska Game Thread

Yes, need to start with better intensity and focus. Reduce turnovers and shoot better and we should be fine. If you can, a running update would be nice, as the game goes on. Thanks in advance.
 
Tania Davis with a lay up on the fast break puts Iowa up 13-9. She also has a 3. Chase Coley is checking in alone rather than the entire 2nd platoon.
 
Iowa wins 75-72 after a lot if time outs and free throw attempts.

Good job today by the Iowa alumni band too.

Iowa was lead in scoring by Megan Gustafson's 22, Ally Disterhoft added 16, Tania Davis had 11, and Kathleen Doyle had 10.
 
Just curious for anyone who saw this game to respond. Did the missed FT at the end and the overall bad shooting look like the timid Hawkeyes from the Illinois game? Were they passing up good shots? Just afraid to make mistakes and lose? Did playing extra minutes because the change in substitution pattern leave them with tired legs? Here's hoping that this passes soon.

Iowa had 40 points in the paint. This could of been alot more but I thought the Hawks ere jacking up 3's way to early in the shot clock. If they'd been hitting them but when you go 6-21 they should of stayed looking for the paint points where they were killing the fuskers. This game shouldn't of been close but the lack of being able to hit free throws really hurt. They were 11-21 from the line. As far as the minutes played that doesn't seem to be a problem. I was very happy to see Chase being used with Megan alot today and it worked very good. Chase really helps alter shots with that huge wing span she has. Nebraks is a very big team and I thought we handled them pretty good. A brain fart by Tania late in the game with getting the ball stolen from her caused a 6 point swing late in the game. If that didn't happen we would of eased to a win. Just can't say enough about Kathleen Doyle on the defensive end of the floor. She's an animal I'm telling ya! Now that they got a B1G win they can relax and play ball like they know they can. Everybody that played today did a great job and it was a team effort al the around. On to psu and GO HAWKS!

The Press Citizen reporter said she didn't play while Coach is having work on somethings. Nothing about her being absent from the team. Also he indicated that Carly was practicing full time with the team, but she's so far behind right now she may not be ready to contribute until late in the season or next year. He also said the team is upbeat and he really enjoys covering them. So about time for them to go on a strong run and get some upsets and pad our resume.

Bre is strictly defense. If she wants to continue getting playing time she's got to contibute something offensively. Wonder if that's what she's working on?
