Where Are Post-CC Hawk Fans? Hawks v Maryland

[STILLBUSTER]

C'mon Hawk fans! Surprised at such lack of interest in Hawk women!

Anyway - Not much to say bout this early rout with #8 Maryland thumping #23 Iowa. Was hoping for a really good game but seems Iowa is who they are ... Poor ball handlers, poor defenders and only 1 outside threat (if she's wide open). Tough to hang with the ranked teams averaging high teens turnovers and low % shooting.

Said before, they are NOT top 25 this year. Will make tourney but it'll be a quick exit. Nonetheless, it's a rebuild / adjustment year in the post-CC era and still worth watching to see the future ... When they'll return to form as the talented youth grow together.

Dearly love watching the Hawk women

Bit late to the game

Just watched them score their third basket

16-6 right now

Maryland is Tough and ranked

They are tired of losing to the Hawks

Four freshmen and Taylor McCabe in right now

The Starters are sitting on the bench watching them

I really do think they're a year away from being really good. They'll miss Lucy next fall, but I think most of the Fr will jump most of returning players outside of Hannah and start a new stretch of Top 10 teams year after year.

This is becoming painful to watch

I took a beating watching the Men at Wisconsin and this doesn't help things

MUST have Guyton at point! Just better handles and more athletic than Stremlow. Lucy ok but not great passer. Lucy better at 2 to create her own shot.
Like McCabe but she's very Peyton- like ... If not hitting shots doesn't bring much more to the game.
Finish with starters - need OGrady for size - only have Guyton over Fuerbach.

Time for Hannah to explode!
Bring in O'Grady and Guyton for McCabe and Kylie

 

[thedukeofearl]

There is a lot to like about Guyton

She seems to be improving every game

She certainly would complement Lucy at the two

I REPEAT!! Hello, Jan??

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Jan heard me!

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Game deciding possession right there.
Waaay too long with McCabe and Feur while Hannah had no help!

Maryland is Hot on the road

Hannah having a severe off night

I’ve been saying since her second game played this yr guyton is my favorite freshman. Jensen will continue to increase her mins.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Too deep a hole and stuck with low production (McCabe, Feur) lineup too long.

Yeah I don’t think having Hannah post up late game when she’s having an off night around the basket is the right move. On top of her not being good at the line.

 

[thedukeofearl]

I'm still in the third quarter and The Hawks are playing much bette

Hawk Women fighting back Hard

Giving it right back to the Terps

 

[thedukeofearl]

I would want these Hawkeye freshmen to have my back in a back alley brawl

 

[STILLBUSTER]

They're good but just not consistently there yet.
Despite outcome ... Women are still my fav Hawk team to watch right now. Simply can not dispute their grit. Unfortunately, grit only gets you so far and can't overcome the deficits in handlers, passing, and defense.

I sorta get it ... She IS the best post player. Jan tried to play the odds she'd break-out the last 4 minutes but she was just getting mauled and, as stated, just a rough night.
