Ally is having a bad shooting game today! Come on Ally!
Don't think this one is on Coach Bluder. She had a good game plan,but the young players did not respond well when Purdue got more physical and upped the intensity. Iowa was playing without their point guard and another part time starter and another rotation player. That really limits the adjustments they can make. I'm disappointed they lost, but that's not on Coach.That 3 Purdue hit just ended the game. This one is over. Chalk up another Iowa women's loss under Lisa Bluder.
That second half was brutal! That 3rd. quarter we were outscored 25-5! The whole second half the Lady Hawks only scored 17 points! 5-32 is it! 2-14 three point shots! Alexa 0-4 and Ally 0-3 on 3 pointers! When was the last time you saw Megan go 9-17 Ally 3-13 Kathleen 4-12 and Chase 2-10! Plain and simple this young team lost their composure and couldn't over come it. Yes Lisa might of been able to make some changes since the boilers were intent on double teaming Megan but this is where Megan is the weakest. I hope the coaches can her more stout on the block and not allowed to be pushed around. I'm going to watch the game again and see if they pulled Megan away from the basket to open up the middle. I was so ticked I don't remember the finer points. lol All I can say is bounce back Ladies we need a win! Keep your heads up and battle on!!Don't think this one is on Coach Bluder.
