******Iowa St vs Iowa Game Thread******

Whomever decided having Hannah at the point on that last possession should never call that set again!!!!!
 
Super frustrated by that… They aren’t half the team we are. Rivalries are never about the best team. It’s always about the emotion and momentum.
 
Iowa State is shooting 32% for the year from three-point range, of course they’re five of six
 
Jan needs to chew *** at half time get their attention. They really lack intensity especially AOG is really struggling. At least SA picked her game up in 2nd quarter. Thia reminds me of the preCC hawks teams, soft and TO.s,

Ok, I’m gonna go there. I swear I’m not a misogynist. But Crooks (#55) is so . . . . . . (large) it’s an embarrassment to women’s college basketball. Even if she is effective as a post, it’s a terrible look for an “athlete”, male or female. I’ve got to believe that if she dropped 30 pounds she’d be even more effective.

I say this after hearing and reading NBA talking heads go on endlessly last year that one of the reasons the Mavs lost to the Celtics in the finals was because Luka Doncic was overweight and his weight negatively impacted his play.
Iowa State makes the most of what she is. She does set a nasty screen.
 
40% FGs and 40% FTs won't win you many ball games.

Iowa shooting:

4-15 (27%) from 3
10-20 (50%) from 2
............................................
14-35 (40%) Overall

4-10 (40%) FTs

Not true. She does a good job on the defensive end, but she needs to stop trying to shoot faster than Sandfort. It doesn’t have to be out of your hand in .05 seconds.
Our post players aren’t agile enough to front Crooks and playing behind her makes it too easy on her. We have to keep pressuring the ball to make the entry pass difficult. We have also just missed too many good shots.

Meh…. i’m in the camp that we need her to play better all the time, and she has played better recently, but she hasn’t historically been a great defender. I’m not sure why people keep trying to say that.

They said it last year when they were so desperate to get her in the lineup over Gabby Marshall, and she isn’t half the defender Gabby is

It’s a different game dude. Everything is under the rim, so taking up as much as that space as possible actually works. She’s a big woman with little actual athleticism, but she has great hands, good fundamentals and balance.

It’s our fault for not completing wearing her out by running the floor. She can’t play fast for the whole game. If all else fails go to hack a Shaq.
