*****Iowa (W) vs Maryland Game Thread*****

Caitlin trying to force her teammates to step up and make shots when she is covered with doubles as well as Czinano being fronted and back covered. They can’t even catch her passes or make the much needed shots. Very frustrating.
 
This is why I can't ever get into women's basketball. Too many blowouts in what should be a tight game.
 
Feels like a Rose Bowl. Convince myself pre-game that Iowa has a chance, only to feel like Charlie Brown at halftime (after Lucy has pulled the ball away yet again).

It's mostly shooting luck, as unsatisfying as that is. Maryland's bench players are 6/8 from three. We shot 0/10 from three in the second quarter.

Credit to Maryland for taking Czinano out of the game and doubling Clark, but both teams are essentially shooting the same shots right now. Maryland is just hitting everything and Iowa's hitting nothing.
 
Do the Iowa women ever win big non con games besides isu?
They choked last March in tourney.
They lost to anyone with a pulse in non con last year.

Iowa beats some good big ten teams sometimes but how good is big ten womens basketball? When’s the last time a team made the final 4?

This part is accurate at least.

Hopefully, people come back to reality and understand that Bluder's defense is almost as embarrassing as Fran's, and that this team will always have a lower ceiling than they should because of it.
 
Iowa is going to lose by 30. Wow this is a crappy night.

By the way, I flipped back from watching the US U17 guys to see a clear 3 seconds not called and Maryland hits a three. Can't let this carry over to Indiana...
 
Assuming the worst .....

Loss tonight and last game vs IU, and Maryland wins their last game.

Best Lady Hawks can do will be the 3-seed in the BTT?


But if they beat IU, then the 2??
 
I was out until t about 4 minutes left in the third. I realize they’re way down but they look like they couldn’t give two shits about this game. Just not hitting shots early on and played no defense? What happened?
