Last Tourney Game At Carver Today --- Ever?

[tampabayhawk]

The answer is "No" for now, but I found FDU coach presser comments interesting. She said Jan congratulated her on FDU season and added, " 'This is why we gotta get off the home courts. We gotta go neutral.' " I did a cursory look back at NCAA women' tourney and sites. It appears prior to 2018-2019 season the sites were neutral. C. Vivian never hosted with her great teams. Are there visitor bureaus of non-college towns with 15,000 seat areas thinking their energy is well spent trying to woo Iowa, Ga, Va, FDU, fans to fill 5,000 hotel beds?

I sure love the top-4 seeds hosting when Iowa is in one of those spots, and I think it would be tough to match on-campus electricity. But it probably makes sense in the long-term.

Hosting doesn't seem to benefit Iowa!
It's embarrassing how poorly Kylie and Hannah are playing as Srs, let alone how bad this team looks after 2 weeks off. They are struggling to play competent ball and can barely handle 2 of the worst teams in the tourney...On their HOME court with a definite crowd advantage that most home teams don't enjoy!

I predict an Elite 8 caliber women team gets punked in Carver. Especially since the men over achieved and made Sweet16.

The body language is telling. They look whipped.

... That's a definite leadership issue!
It's a lack of / just plain poor leadership from Srs AND coaches to temper the "gimme" mindset AND motivate the youth to dial it in!

Announcer is terrible. Calling Ava out for foul when VA player has an arm in her crotch!

 

[STILLBUSTER]

At least Jan will be there to clap up her butterflies and unicorns, telling them everything is all right. That is, IF she calls a f-ing timeout to huddle them up for the rainbows and sunshine pep talk!

Looks like the Hawks have adjusted

The delay on calling TOS is frustrating

Defies Logic for certain

Gotta call them to settle the troops and stop the other teams momentum

 

[thedukeofearl]

Hawks in the groove now

She deserves a public spanking for certain

 

[Dadman]

Now, keep up the pressure!

 

[STILLBUSTER]

It's already end if 3rd. DO NOT take out Ava with 3 fouls... The only reliable offensive production you have.

 

[Dadman]

I have always liked Hannah, and will miss watching her but I sure wont miss her free throw shooting

 

[thedukeofearl]

We haven't been getting the ball to Ava when she is open under the basket the entire quarter

 

[STILLBUSTER]

No Brainier ... Inside to Heiden!

 

[Dadman]

Come on! Have a play designed for this!

 

[STILLBUSTER]

THAT was the intended play!
For FuckSake!!
First to score wins. Iowa empty possession (like that last bag of shit at end of game) and guaranteed loss.
Just pathetic home display!!

 

[thedukeofearl]

Yeah, Chit Chat, don't pass the ball to and open Ada

She has done that the entire quarter

 

[thedukeofearl]

Why doesn't Jan have Hannah shoot 100 free throws each day in practice even on Sunday

 

[STILLBUSTER]

I have always liked Hannah, and will miss watching her but I sure wont miss her free throw shooting

Hannah has played like crap the 2 games. Too much time off with elbow? She looks done and ready to move in with reg life. (She sure as sun ain't gonna play pro!)
