Gabby Marshall sort of standing on the opposite block—not guarding anyone—while an OSU player went in for an uncontested layup was the microcosm of the game.

She may of had a few poor turnovers but you can’t be serious. She had 43 points
Very disappointing last quarter and a half. I'm always amazed that coaches and players don't seem to realize that defense is HALF the game. Play some and they'd make it so much easier on themselves.
Bluder slowed them down to run the clock more.
Took them out of their rhythm.
Played right into Ohio St hands.

Gabbie also got laid out on an illegal screen that wasn't called. She's one of the best defenders on the team. But she was dazed for several minutes and had to come out of the game.
That and constantly ONLY trying to get Czinano the ball......
When did Michigan State morph into Ohio State’s womens team?
We have Wisconsin coming in a few days and can regroup. This game was never guaranteed and the team that is the worst matchup for us defensively. The defense has actually been better as a whole this season but OSU shot the lights out and got away with several fouls that were not called and the kicked ball.
It's not just the kicked ball non-call that was so frustrating. (Which was so clearly a kick that all the players on the court collectively stopped moving.) It's that when Clark chased Harris down to tie her up, a foul was called on Clark instead of a jump ball. When Harris was just rolling on the ground with the ball and Clark stuck her hands down to touch it for a moment? OSU of course goes on to score that possession.
Bluder in the postgame mentioned that Gabbie's shoulder was injured on one of OSU's "screens" which is why she didn't play in the final minutes of the game. Seemed concerned about whether Gabbie could play on Thursday.

I'm working on a recap. Should be done soon, but I'm not sure when it'll be posted (I don't control that). I go deeper into my thoughts there. A short summary:
Iowa's execution in the last few minutes played a huge role in that loss. On both ends. If Iowa fought for rebounds hard, we win the game. If Iowa had any sort of offensive ideas beyond ball screens and feeding Czinano late, we win.
But my God the officiating was atrocious. The kicked ball was one of the bigger missed calls I think I've ever seen given the circumstances. It wasn't even a judgment call. That's a kicked ball under anyone's definition and all three of them missed it. They compounded it by calling a foul on Clark on what should've been a jump ball.
I at least understand not calling the foul on Warnock late. She was off-balance before the foul. But it was also clearly a foul on replay, and Clark was wide open at the three-point line just beyond her. If she doesn't get fouled and kicks it out, I think Clark knocks down the winner.
I hate focusing so much on referees in a game like that. Iowa has plenty of fault in that loss. But it's just insane that referees continue to blow calls in those situations and face no repercussions. It's killing my interest in basketball.
Shouldn't be surprised we had two of the most senior referees in the Big Ten and yet they were so bad. And on top of that I thought we ran out of gas in the 4th quarter, leading to the bad turnovers and inability to stop the ball on runouts.
Given Clark was talking a lot of trash, when Iowa was up, I have no problem with it.
Mmmm yes, all that is true.. The women's refs decided to swallow their whistles down the stretch because they didn't want to make another "wrong" call.......even though calling nothing is also wrong and you still get caught in the end.
But their offense late was too slow and predictable, they got careless with the ball, especially Clark, and their help defense is non-existent, which is something I can't even say about the men shockingly enough.
At least the men commit to help and allow teams to clearly plan and anticipate for this so they can kick it out for wide open 3s that never miss.
If the women get beat, that's pretty much the end of it.
I was sitting courtside and there was a ton of trash being talked. Clark did a lot of talking and then when tOSU got the lead and started talking she complained to the refs about it.
i mean, my god, that was embarrassing defense
Gabbie should be fine. She was shaken up but back in late. We match up better against MIchigan but i'm not expecting to pull the upset.
Iowa had 14 total turnovers. Clark had 7 of the 14.
Woof
Iowa shot 61% from the field and somehow lost. Well, we know why they lost; their D cost them.
Hawkeyes take a tumble at home to No. 23 Buckeyes
The University of Iowa women's basketball team had its seven-game win streak snapped despite 43 points from Caitlin Clark.
To be fair though, neither team played defense.
The kicked ball was the killer. The refs blew that play and it truly cost us.
Here's my recap of the OSU loss:

Ehh Bluder said she was very concerned about our injuries in the postgame conference. “I am very concerned. We only have so many bodies left…It’s hard when you are losing your starters like that.” Credit to https://iowa.rivals.com/news/buckeyes-top-hawkeyes
When the ball is in your hands for 90% of the game, I am not sure 7 TOs against a top 25 team is that bad of a ratio.
But look at her assist to turnover ratio in the last couple of games. You shouldn't see this with a National Player of the Year candidate, should you?
Assists....Turnovers....
.....7..................7..................4 Pt Loss to Ohio State
.....5.................11.................OT win at N'western
I just think if this team wants to accomplish things like wining a B1G title and advancing far into the NCAA Tournament, they need to clean up their issues with (1) turnovers and (2) poor defense. Winning games is hard enough but when your ball handling is sloppy and you can't stop the ball on defense, well, a lot of goals are not going to be met.
Yup and that was crap as well. But her watching the layup was well before that.
They are like the men: can be very entertaining to watch on one end of the court and then maddening on the other end.
Yeah....when they get her the ball and the other team isn't fronting her and selling out to deny her the ball every time they try to pass it inside to her.................in a single possession
