Correct.Just to clarify Fyiowa, the women got beat down.

Sorry, i hadnt read your earlier post that would have made that clear.
This is not true. Many high level womens programs regularly scrimmage against a pickup team from the college rec leagues and the men handle the ladies.
I just don't understand why anybody would think the women could compete with the men. It's just silly. You all need to appreciate what each team brings. You don't like the women's game. Nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is just trashing anything and everything about it. If you know so much about the women's game you must be spending a lot of time watching it. Now if you don't like it why watch or why do you know so much about it? The women's game has evolved a lot over the years. It's all played basically the same with the exception of the physical attributes the men have over the women. The women's game will never match the men's game and it doesn't have to. Basketball isn't like racing cars, any type of shooting or something like that where both can compete head to head. The women's basketball team is having a terrific year and has a great female basketball player and why you don't have a few kind words to say is beyond me. Hammer away.
No one's saying we expect women to compete with men. We just think it's boring, and myself when I hear that my dislike for it is sexism, I think that's bullshit. It's great for Gustafson to have a good year, but I'm not going to lie to you and say that I find any of it the least bit exciting.I just don't understand why anybody would think the women could compete with the men.

Ima hafta say I told you so.Okay, based upon Rob actually reading the article and posting what it said, I guess it is possible that there are enough weekend warrior rec league BB players on this board that we could give the Lady Hawks a tussle. I call assistant coach!
I fully get that male athletes are bigger, faster and stronger. But, women's hoops has come a loooong ways from when I was a kid and Iowa high school was still doing 6-6 style. And, as someone pointed out, coaching, offensive sets, shooting accuracy, and team play matter a lot more in the women's game because of the different athletic prowess of the players. The commentator for the Maryland game said that Iowa's guard is 100% on the year from the FT line. Like 31 for 31. Crazy good.
Let me know when you are able to show up at Carver to test your theory personally, Bobby Riggs....Ima hafta say I told you so.
