*****Indiana vs Iowa (W) Game Thread*****

[QChawks]

7pm Fox

Biggest game of the year, so far. Top tier big ten opponent and national TV.

Indiana (14-1) is really good. Winners of 13 straight their only loss was a blowout @ Stanford two months ago. McKenzie Holmes is probably the second best player in the league. Indiana has great guard play but I think we can have some success inside. Hawks really need to guard the perimeter.

I think Indy pulls the upset 82-75.

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

Is the Indiana team even flying in today? Last I heard they were leaving for IC at 9:30 this morning?

I have never seen you so optimistic.

We were invited to a Dolphins v Chiefs watch party. I said, "will there be a 2nd tv so I can watch the IOWA women play?". They said no. So did I. #GoHAWKS

Atleast that one guard is gone, can't remember her name but she's been really good the last few years

In the Chiefs/Dolphins game it will be interesting watching both teams perform (or not perform) in those miserable conditions

I’m thinking Holmes is going to have a very good game. She scares me a bit. Need Goodman to play well.

 

[Franisdaman]

See below. Jeff (of the Gazette) says travel is still not advised in the Cedar Rapids area.

 

[ichawk24]

Huge game. Fans from outlying areas may not be able to make it, reducing the crowd size a bit. But everyone there will be LIT

in case you missed it, here is a nice pregame story from the AP.

Grace Berger

Berger's replacement (Scalia ?) played for Minny last year and is an excellent 3 point shooter. She is not the driver and midrange shooter Berger was. What happens to that 2 person game Berger and Holmes always ran when the game was on the line at the end is the question for me. Also, 22' s shooting is improved this year and you can't play off her anymore.

I remember who you are talking about, not her name, but her all around game. very good ball handler and passer, shooter scorer.

I never realized that even a chartered flight would have a standard airline flight number that the public can even query on.

Yup

You weren’t around years ago when people would watch all the airports when they were coaching vacancies

Going to be a very tough game IMO

Grace Berger, and she was drafted by the Indiana Fever, so if Clark goes they'll be team mates....

 

[davenporter]

Any bars in the QC that would show the game with sound or will the NFL Chiefs playoff game be the one on?

Resell value dipped quite a bit yesterday but prices going back up for what’s left on 2nd market

I saw where it's not going to be colder and nastier than than the "Ice Bowl" between the Chargers and Bengals in '82.
Kickoff was -9 and had a wind chill of -59.

Was at the Minny/IU game last night. Mack Holmes and Syd Parrish were there shooting tee shirts with the gun, so figured they would be flying out this morning. Hope they’ve made it by now.

Having left Bloomington at 7 this morning, weather wasn’t very nice then either. Took me 4+ hours to get home, on a trip that usually takes 2.45. Never been more nervous on 65 as I was this morning.

Here’s to a great and injury-free game.

My son is a Boiler and he was supposed to come home to the Chicago burbs on Thursday night. I told him to stay there. I didn't want him to have anything to do with I65 on the way back to school.
