Iowa women's team is keepin it real, but Lville keepin it realer. Lville banked in a 3 pt'r from about 23' as the shot clock expired. Shooting lights out and destroying Iowa. Up 17 at half.
40-23
agree with the parity comment above. big difference in women's hoops - athleticism can really affect the game and make a good team like iowa not so good. see this every year with iowa this time of year.

Iowa women getting run out of their own gym. Like a speed bag versus a punching bag......or a JV team versus a Varsity team.

Same kinda luck.
Other team shooting lights out.
Iowa can't make a basket.
They need a beefy girl or two.

That happens when you can't put the orangey round thing in the orangey round thing.

That's not true.
The women's team is losing to a team that is better than them, you can't say that for the men...

Your comprehension skill needs work.

Not commenting on quality of competition. Commenting on same kind of "luck."
Understand?
It's pretty clear what Iowa needs.
The only problem, Bluder only recruits a certain type of player and is why they always get lit up by the upper tier teams.
But that $500K salary is well deserved.

The Big 10 isn't nearly as good in women's basketball as it is in men's basketball. And the separation between the best teams in the country and everyone else is a lot bigger.

No kidding. It is like they are playing the Toronto Raptors or something. Big, big, sister vs little sister.
Too bad we could not hold on to Vivian Stringer. Her teams seemed to be built, more or less, to compete on the national stage. And, Bluder is a nice coach, but we need some bigger, tougher women out there. We have a team of nice girls and I emphasis the world nice. Amazing how Ally Disterhoft was made to look very ordinary against Louisville's pressure and she usually lights up the score board seemingly every time I check to see the Iowa Women's stats.

Agreed we have some attractive ball players on our squad. But, the Tomboys move on.

she's done a nice job - don't undersell it. 7 straight trips to the ncaa tourney? but then, that's what got davis the door.
do you see the type of athletes that *for an example* stringer gets at rutgers? you think those players would come to iowa city to play for bluder? how about the more successful coach in ames? some times, it is what it is.
Well if you don't recruit them there is very little chance they will come to Iowa.

Bluder's definitely done a good job, IMO. She's not Stringer, and she'll always be compared to that standard by most fans who pay attention to the women's team. But Stringer, IMO, is one of the top 3 coaches in the history of the game (with Summitt and Geno). You can't replace someone like that, just like UCLA hasn't found another Wooden, Indiana another Knight, etc. If you could realistically replace coaches like that, then those coaches wouldn't be as special as they were/are.

Just watched REAL SPORTS on HBO…..they featured 2 girls from the Louisville team…..I can further see why we got our butts kicked tonight. Good story on the 2 Native American girls they have on their team Shoni and Jude Schimmel. Both legit WNBA talent. And, they showed a little bit what they did to Baylor last year with that 6 foot 7 girl.

Rutgers did not make the tourney. There playing in the nit. C. Vivian Stringer has been a very good coach. Can't deny that and it will be good to have her back in the big 10...................maybe not.

What are you talking about? 4,320 showed up at Carver tonight. That's close to a sellout, is it not?
