I Don’t Understand How the Women Beat SC

[markfromj]

Repeatedly on this board for the men, we’ve read how we need more black players. But mostly white Iowa just beat mostly black SC.

So does the “we need more black players” statement only apply to the men’s game?

Or could it be wrong, and it’s really about the quality of the player, regardless of race?

We were the better skilled basketball team, and Lisa outcoached Staley. Simple as that.

You suck at satire/dark humor. Stick with your usual garbage.

SC isn't great at shooting. They win cus they get a lot of put backs. Iowa offense kept up with their advantage. They also don't have a cc. We do

So do you have Curtisj on ignore or just a selective memory?

Miami, K-State and San Diego St achieved more in 2 days than we’ve achieved in 36 years!!

15 starters, 15 black dudes. So, let’s keep recruiting guys that look like they just came out of the J Crew catalog! That plan has worked out so damn well!!!

Race doesn’t matter. Our problem is we have too many starters named McCaffrey.

Don’t pretend there aren’t many “we need more black players” posts.

Maybe Lisa Bluder can coach. Oh and it doesn't hurt to have an all time great player like Caitlin that can put the whole team on her back.

Though I agree that the men's team needs more good basketball players regardless of race.

 

[im4hawks50595]

You really think Fran would do what Bluder did and pack it in daring a team to shoot like they did, the men only do that on d by mistake

We scored more points

Seriously i think we had the better game plan and Dawn did not adjust

I must have missed all those. Or I just ignore them because that is a ridiculous statement. We just need guards that can dribble, shoot, AND play defense reasonably well.

You can't apply what happens in the women's game to the men's game, at least not yet. Since 1980, there have been 0 undefeated mens teams and 10 undefeated women's teams. There are simply far fewer young women dedicating major time to basketball.

I will say that the women going 14/14 from the FT line this game was pretty embarrassing for the men.

Link to my denying that anyone openly has that attitude?

It was clear from the second SC possession that this was the plan. And it worked masterfully.

If we land a clone of Larry bird then we might be athletic enough with our current mix of athletes.
But Larry bird is not walking thru that locker room door.
CC is the female version of Larry Bird.
They are very rare.
I like our chances better trusting the data that indicates over 80% of the NBA players are black.
That is the best BB league in the world.

Man I thought this thread was going to be about rebounding...

 

[tweeterhawk]

We scored more points

The key to victory.

 

[feces hurling monkey]

We won because of white privilege.

But the data indicate 100% of NBA players are really good players.

Wouldn’t that be a better way to find really good players: look for really good players rather than black players?

What if C.A.T. really spelled dog.

OP sure seems preoccupied with race for some reason.

Having a POY gets a team to the Final Four.

Gotta love this board .....

Take a widely held belief developed over a few decades that black players are generally better at basketball.

Point to one game that was decided by 4 points and say "See! I told you you were wrong!"
