Oklahoma averaged about 5,000 fans per game this season, so I don't think the Hawkeyes will be intimidated by the home crowd. The emergence of Ava Heiden to form a three-headed monster in the post with Stuelke and O'Grady will help open Iowa's 3-point shooters. And, of course, the Iowa defense will stifle the Sooners, so keep the bags packed. The Hawkeyes will be movin' on.
 
How about we make sure they get by Murray St first as they are not going to be a cakewalk or any kind
Thanks for the advice. Murray State ain't exactly USC or UCLA. And this is the women's team. The men's team would lose to Murray State, sure, but that ain't gonna happen with the women. But sorry for being an optimistic fan. I'll look in the back of the basement for my game face and get it back on ASAP. One game at a time, right coach? :cool:

Although I may have jumped the gun on Oklahoma. Not sure if they can get by their opener or not. Sorry about that . . .

Some of you people . . . LOL

Iowa lost to Creighton at home, I wouldn't count on a win on a neutral court against Murry State until we're up by 1 at the buzzer.
I hope none of you ever filled out a bracket with Iowa winning any games. Now I know who to blame for the lack of national titles.

I don't fill out brackets, but I would have picked Iowa to beat Murray St. if I had. That has nothing to do with what I posted. I suppose you picking Iowa makes a big difference. lol

More so a comment on people claiming we as fans need to focus on the current game. I have zero impact on a game I'm watching from a couch. Fans can "look ahead" all they want.
 
Watching Oklahoma now. They are not impressing me at all. Maybe they overlooked this game and are already thinking of their game against Iowa. Fans can overlook games, but players shouldn't.

I think Iowa matches up well with them, Beers is big but she is not quick and both Hannah and Ava are far superior in their ability to run the court. How the game gets called in the post will be a factor.
 
They sure finished strong. Curious what Iowa's strategy will be. Think it's going to end up being pretty physical under the basket. Iowa can't let Oklahoma rebound like they did today.

I’ve watched them play several times this year. Beers is very good, loves to finish with her left hand, but hopefully we can tire her out with our depth. Williams is a freight liner if she gets downhill, but not a great shooter. They aren’t a great shooting team from what I have seen. Gonna need to control the paint to have a chance.

I gotta think in the post season Okie fans turn out better. 🤔
 
Have they announced the game time for Monday yet?
