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

[QChawks]

7pm Peacock

Northwestern (7-13, 2-7) comes in riding a 4 game losing streak and 6 of last 7 games. NW is dead last in team defense and second to last in offense.

It should be a huge pro-Iowa crowd tonight. Give me 91-68 hawks.

Thank you

CC moves from 4th to 2nd all-time in points with 15 tonight Should be a fun blowout.

CC moves from 4th to 2nd all-time in points with 15 tonight Should be a fun blowout.

Actually, she needs 14 pts to break the Big Ten record of 3,402 (Kelsey Mitchell, Ohio State; 2015-2018; 139 GP; 24.5 ppg) and to move into 2nd place on the All Time NCAA Scoring List.


Here is the Current NCAA Top 10 Scoring List:

PLAYER	TEAM	LAST SEASON	GAMES PLAYED	POINTS
Kelsey Plum	Washington	2017	139	3,527
Kelsey Mitchell	Ohio State	2018	139	3,402
Jackie Stiles	Missouri State	2001	129	3,393
Caitlin Clark	IOWA	2024 ???	121	3,389
Brittney Griner	Baylor	2013	148	3,283
Patricia Hoskins	Mississippi Valley State	1989	110	3,122
Lorri Bauman	Drake	1984	120	3,115
Jerica Coley	FIU	2014	131	3,107
Rachel Banham	Minnesota	2016	144	3,093
Ashley Joens	Iowa State	2023	158	3,060

Here's my preview. Northwestern has one of the worst defenses in the country, and is particularly bad at defending threes. This could get ugly. Of course now that I've said that, Iowa will probably have a terrible shooting night.

Caitlin and Iowa are going to take the Wildcats to the woodshed. Book it.

 

[QChawks]

Welsh-Ryan only seats 7,039 by the way

Would like to see.......

1. Marshall connect on 50% of her 3PT shots tonight
2. O'Grady double/double.
3. Clark rest after her 30th point (assuming 20+ point lead)
4. 15+ minutes for Feuerbach and McCabe
5. Gyamfi and Ediger get some extended minutes
6. Maddyn Greenway commit to Iowa

Well let’s hope it starts to fan expectations….

Otherwise will have a litany of…

*We are not elite….
*We aren’t a top 3 team…
*Its going to be an early exit this year
*Why didnt we use the portal
*Bluder blew by not bringing anyone in
*We don’t have anyone but Caitlyn…
*Our interior defense, rebounding, offense et al sucks.

And whatever piece of negative hostility people use to help them cope, when things aren’t going the way they “planned”, you know…10 minutes into the game…😂

Northwestern's new arena is a fantastic venue to watch a game. Unlike their football stadium.

Marshall continuing to gain confidence is paramount, but for me Affolter, Stuelke and then Feurbach need to keep getting better…

Also I would love to see McCabe get more comfortable

 

[cmhawks99]

Yes…that’s exactly what it like

Iowa alumni, living in Chicago. What the possibility of finding a ticket tonight/today at Welsh-Ryan for Hawkeye-Wildcat game? What price will I pay (not $1400.00)? Any Iowa fan traveling to Chicago have an extra ticket? I have seen Caitlin play several times in Chicago (while she was still in high school), maybe one-last-chance?

Iowa will follow Indiana and play at Maryland Saturday evening on Fox. It appears Maryland is really down this year.

Major yikes, Maryland. That's embarrassing for a team that is good every year.

Very cool to see half of the NW team taking a knee to honor CC...... oh wait, that was during the National Anthem.
