The Drive for 25

[dagdaj]

Iowa women's basketball has 19 regular season games left.
They are guaranteed at least one game in the Big 10 Tournament.
20 assured games.
As of the end of the game Sunday, Clark needs exactly 500 points to break the all time scoring record.
That's an average of exactly 25 points per game.

Count me in for this countdown.

I look forward to watching this drive to 25 per game.

24.88 now
On the broadcast last night, they were only counting regular season games.
They are assured at least one in the B10 tourney.

I'll never understand why conference tournament games would count but NCAA tourney wouldn't count. IMO neither should could or they should both be considered post season.

I need to look at the schedule is Iowa's last regular season game at home? Would be pretty dang nice if she could do it then. I'm all in on this count down as well. I was hoping in some of the earlier games she'd have ran up the score a few times more then she has but that's alright. It's still more then doable for her.

To answer my own question yes. Last two games Iowa plays MN on the road on 2/28 with OSU coming to Iowa City on 3/3 to end regular season. Hopefully she can leave herself only needing like 20 or less to keep the drama for me low lol. That'll be a really big game besides that anyway.

I hope Clark gets the record but they won’t have the year they had last year if more people don’t get involved.

Oooh....I never considered the fact that it might not count. Does it? I didn't know when I posted this.
I assumed it did. If I'm honest, I believed that the tourney would count too. At least up until you noted this.

Just read this again on The Athlete

Women's basketball deserves better than lousy officiating and paternalistic discourse

Time to level up for women's basketball: Fix officiating. Treat the product as a money-maker. Allow tough women to fight their own battles.

Damn

 

[dagdaj]

24.29 not counting B10 tourney
22.94 counting the B10 tourney

As far as I read it, the B10 tourney would count.
The historic average would say just over 15 games away, which would be on the road at Minnesota.
Game 14 is at home vs. Illinois.
Game 13 is at Indiana.

 

[dagdaj]

Average from here of 22.5 to secure it in the final game at home against OSU.

23-26 avg would be at MN.

26-28 would be at home against IL.

29-30 would be at IN

31-33 would he at home against MI

34 avg would be at Nebraska.
I mean, it's not all that far out of the rem of possibility.

Season average is 31.5
