Our YMCA level men’s team is not.
At least the women’s b-ball team is worth watching.
- Thread starter curtisj57
- Start date
To each their own but I'm pretty sure Iowa's last game wouldn't have been chosen for FOX saturday if they really weren't worth watching. Kris and Fil are very worth watching IMO
I really enjoyed the 4 games before the ohio state game. 4 game streak is pretty impressive for a ymca club.
I’m watching….and hoping that they finish this off…..but wow I’m shocked at some of the decision making.
Our men’s team is fun to watch.
I’ve never seen a YMCA team that could win the games that these guys have won…what a drama queen statement.
I think I enjoy watching the women’s team more than the men’s
I'll probably go back to not watching hardly any women's basketball once CC is gone but I'm enjoying what time she has left in black and gold.
Just to go through life like this…no thanks.
Our women’s team does have the best player in the country. She’s kind of fun to watch. 😏
Amazing to win without Warnock
Trying too hard. Kind of embarrassing honestly.
A few months ago poor Roy suffered a serious brain injury during a racing event. Cut the man some slack...
Man, Clark is fun but it's not just her!
Czanano just dominates the post. If my daughter is a post player, I'm sending her to Iowa to work with Jan Jensen. She has so many tools in the tool box. It is so impressive.
Kate Martin is so underrated. I know I have been hard on her last year but she has hit some clutch 3s and had a monster block in the 4th. She is our glue girl.
Hannah Stuelke is going to be the next great post. She almost had a double double tonight. She's really coming along well.
Warnock has hit some clutch 3s and shoots pretty well from the outside. I thought we would be in trouble without her tonight but it appeared not. Molly Davis filled in well.
The team is fun to watch. The passes that Clark can give are phenomenal. She has such great vision and will take some risks. I know OSU shot terrible but the Hawks looked like they could beat almost anyone tonight.

@IowasLaw isn't gonna like this thread.
He doesn't think women's sports (especially at Iowa) is worthwhile or watchable and his opinions are always right, which is why he continues to share them with the world.......................
Just sayin.
Ag
Agree. Some decent players, but as a product it has been unwatchable. Averaging 12 losses per year over the past 15-20 years suggest a piss poor program with not much to celebrate.
Defensive player of the game IMO was Gabby Marshall who held Mikesell to 12 pts, 5-16 and 2-10 from 3 and one came in the first Q and the last when the game was out of reach for OSU. Two games prior she held PSU's Makenna Marisa to 5 pts on 2-13 shooting and ofer from 3.
Always like seeing message board losers posting things they would never have the guts to say to the people in person.
Then follow the women's team only if you want. I doubt they want you around either.
So I've noticed something this year related to this topic. When you do a search of Iowa on ESPN it lists out 5 "Iowa" teams; Iowa Football, Iowa State Football, Iowa State Basketball, Iowa Women's Basketball and Iowa State Women's basketball in that order. To find the Iowa Men's basketball team you need to select "All" and then all teams with "Iowa" in their names appear. Iowa men's basketball is sandwiched between Iowa State Women's basketball and Northern Iowa football. I'm not sure what determines the order of things, but I have to believe that public interest is the primary driver. Kind of a sad indicator of the overall state of the Iowa men's basketball program and the level of fan support and attention that it receives.
If you're going to troll you have to be more subtle, make it seem like you're serious.
When you go full retard like you did here the hook is too obvious to get most people to bite.
Curtisj57, you didn't say much during the men's 4 game win streak. What a big baby: "Boo hoo hoo, my team doesn't win every game." I think my 4 day-old granddaughter might be more mature than you.
Nah. They obviously recruited her from the Abercrombie & Fitch company picnic.

That RU win was genuinely impressive. If you can't admit that, it's just silly.
It does seem like the women's team is finding their stride after a few head scratching performances early in the season (granted, two games ago shouldn't have been as close as it was but good experience builder)
And the Indiana game where the Hawks were down 21 and won was impressive as well. As others have said on this board and elsewhere, a team is never as good as its best game, nor as bad as its worst.
She did do well there. She HAS to be a little more on offense to really be cooking. Two easy shots were missed when OSU made the run.
Type in “shit” and Iowa men’s b-ball comes right up.
No, that’s the exclusive recruiting grounds of the men’s b-ball team. Along with the J-Crew company picnic.
Her threes are on and off and she made a nice play getting the rebound and then missed an easy layup. That was a big miss at the time. She's forgiven now.
Why? Is it their better athleticism, or their ball handling skills? Is it the pace of the game, or is it the leaping ability with all of the players skying for rebounds and dunks? Perhaps it's that they shoot a lower field goal percentage than the men, or that they turn the ball over more than the men all why playing with a smaller basketball. Please do tell your reasons for liking it more. Be specific and don't tell me it's because they play the game like it should be played as their assist to turn over ratio is worse than the men's team. If it's because they win, then just say so and then I'll come back and see what you say once Clark leaves.
I don't think that's correct. I just tried it and all that came up was Husker football and men's basketball.
True but Clark is the ONLY one to do that at least 5 times while scoring at least 25 points.
Its more then just her shooting %. Its the flair she plays with. She has created a fan base, not to mention all the little girls who show up at ALL the areana's to see her play. How many guys here followed the womens team before Clark? I know I didn't, but haven't missed a game thats been on the last 2 years. She is an incredible facilitator passing the ball. Her 28pt, 10 rebound 15 ASSIST triple double game last night on the road vs a #2 ranked team, has only been done one other time, by ANYONE in college basketball man or woman, (D Wade of Marquette), against a top 2 ranked team since 1998 at least. What she is doing is historic, so Yea, I think we should forgive her missing some bombs, or a layup now and then.......
And the leader got 0 against ranked teams. Not one. It's a big number but against garbage teams with mostly losing records.
Just don't watch the men then and that way you don't have any information to badmouth the men's team about so people on this sight don't have to read your gobble wobble as Hayden would say.
Ionescu was/is a great player. And is killing it in the WNBA. No need to denigrate her accomplishments. Clark is a fantastic player as well. Both great players.
