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

The super good news is we got to the half with only one starter, Affolter, with two fouls.

The Stremlow and Heiden. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ediger get some minutes to wear on Crooks.
 
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

36 points
Started 0-8 from 3. 2nd qtr was obviously better.
7 rebs, 3 stls & a blk in one half ? 2 of 2 and 2-4 FTs I’d say that’s a pretty damn good half. Maybe she needs to shoot more.
She’s trying to find her place without CC finding her in open space and on fast breaks. If she could somehow find a consistent 12-15ft jumper…look out.

The FTs are a big problem for this team

Cara Consuegra made an appearance in the halftime program about Caitlin Clark. It's been a long time since I saw her on TV. She's the head coach at Marquette now.

This is the first Iowa womens game I've watched this year. It seemed that the upper class women are still experiencing the loss of CC. They were so used to her setting them up they seem to have lost that confidence that they can play without her. The freshmen dont have that CC experience and play more freely.
 
I may have to quit watching this game. We have no business losing to this Iowa State team.
 
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.
I don’t understand why our posts aren’t taking away crooks right shoulder. As soon as she gets a pass, slide to your left with hands straight up to at least challenge since she always turns to her right.

Jan’s a good post coach, but that’s interior D 101.
 
I will say this, this Iowa team seems to enjoy playing together and this Lucy Olson has an infectious attitude, but this game. This is not good basketball and I am a huge HS fan but she does that, that she just did, a lot!
