We have another early Sunday game 11:00 central time. I really hate that time for a game. Once again it will be on btn.

I am still not sure if Bre Cera or Christina Buttenham will be cleared to play. If anyone has that news please share.

With 3 games to go Iowa can finish 4th in the big 10 and get the double bye by winning all 3. Win 2 and they are still in good shape for an NCAA tournament bid. With a game at disassembly hall coming up this one is huge.

This is a winable game for Iowa even without Bre and Christina if the remaining players play as well as they did Thursday. All though I do hope they recover soon.
 
Purdue reminds me of Northwestern with more balance. They are not deep, and they will play 3 freshmen. Their leading scorers are guards Morissette and Oden and they play primarily 3 inside players (6-1, 6-2, and 6-2) although they have a 6-5 player who gets a few minutes per game. Purdue is probably the top defensive team in the league. So Iowa will need to work inside to Megan and limit turnovers. Should be a low scoring game so hope we shoot well. I haven't heard anything on the availability of Bre or Christine for this game. Would be nice if they were ready to go, because it would give us a huge edge in depth and this time of year that's a big advantage. Need another solid game from Chase.
 
I believe if Iowa shuts down or slows down Morissette we'd be in great shape. Playing good defense and rebounding like they did against the wild kittens would be awesome! I hope Chase has another great game. The Lady Hawks have just many weapons for the boilers to stop. I think we've got this one! I'll cross my fingers anyway. :)
 
Purdue starting to get more physical inside. Need to see how it gets called and how Iowa handles it. Need to play strong and stay away from the turnovers or we'll let Purdue climb back in.
 
This game shouldn't be close but just to many missed shots down low. Hawks defense is really flustering the boilers.
 
Both teams careless with the ball. Unlucky that Megan picked up that 2nd foul. They are going to need her in the second half. Chase with a nice half. We could use some three point shooting. 35-25 go Hawks.
 
Megan is getting double teamed and somebody has got to step up for crying out loud. Let's get it together Hawks!
 
8-0 Purdue run. Need to make some shots and stop the turnovers. Purdue has stepped up their intensity, Iowa needs to show some poise.
