Iowa vs SDSU game thread

They all seem to be getting beat on defense. Buttenham is starting to assert herself nicely. Kind of a surprise to me and that's a good thing. She has the 3 point shot we could use and is a scrapper under the basket. I think Chase is still working on her new roll and will improve. I'd still put Doyle, Disterhoft, Gustafson, Coley and Davis out there and bring in Buttenham, Meyers and Stewert off the bench. I'm sure Lisa will have it all figured out by conference time. My own opinion on Kastanek is she hasn't been the same player since she hurt her knee.
 
I saw Carley Mohns mentioned as a starter, I don't see that happening soon. She re-aggravated her knee. It might be a little while before she gets back. As far as shortening the rotation goes I like some of the ideas listed, but I would not at all cut minutes from chase Coley or Alexa Kastanek. Also Tania Davis is scoring a good amount for a point guard, I have not problem with her production either.

Here are the players listed in order of scoring productivity per minute.

Bre Cera 22 1.2 0.05
Megan Gustafson 24.4 1 0.04
Hannah Stewart 12.8 0.4 0.03

Compiled Averages, (points per minute+rebounds per minute+assists per minute)
Megan Gustafson 1.15
Ally Disterhoft 1.04
Alexa Kastanek 0.87
Hannah Stewart 0.80
Chase Coley 0.77
Tania Davis 0.60
Amanda Ollinger 0.59
Kathleen Doyle 0.58
Christenta Buttenham 0.56
Makenzie Meyer 0.38
Bre Cera 0.26

As you can see Alexa and Chase are plenty productive. Amanda Ollinger plays too few minutes to get a completely accurate read on her stats, but I think the top 8 or 9 outside of her on the compilation will start seeing more minutes as the schedule gets harder.

ClintonIAfan there's just so many mix and matches to chose from. I would say we're going to keep on seeing a lot of players getting minutes. So far this year they haven't gotten off to a good start right off the tip. The anticipation of the of this team improving is just killing me. Want them to do so good.
