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

Hannah would average 20 points if she could stay on the floor.
Having her play the 5 will end up limiting her minutes.

If I remember correctly, there are some hard feelings between the two coaching staffs.

Typically those are foul prone games.

 

[StormHawk42]

First few minutes will likely decide the game. Get up by 20 and should be chips and salsa time.

Two years ago Bluder said she wasn't in favor of coaches talking to opposing players. Apparently, coach Warren and Clark had an exchange during the game. AFAIK no issues last year.

At the 5:51 mark of the 3rd quarter, Caitlin becomes Iowa's all time leading scorer, extending Iowa's lead over UNI to 55-33.

I mean it’s a testament to Clark in that she has 13/7/5 and it felt like she had an awful half.

She'd say the same thing, like she did after VT game. She is her own worst critic.

CC heading for the triple double and Cute Eyes is on fire!

Gabby breaking out of slump early this year. Either start Goodman or start Syd. Love Davis, but the lack of size sets up Hannah for foul trouble

Hopefully CC’s finger is ok!

With 8 minutes left in the game, UConn down by 6 to NC State.

Under 5 minutes. UConn down by 13.

Kylie needs to start/play ahead of Davis, imo.

 

[QChawks]

87-46

NC State trying to put away UConn, Hawks could be #1 next week

On another note watching a bit of Drake Iowa St women and that Freshman big from Algona is a monster. Not quick but great hands and impossible to keep away from the basket. Better than I thought she’d be.

I say syd for the rebounding... but Kylie would also bring more size.

Crooks is so big inside you can't move her.
But she's a huge liability on defense.
Not to be mistaken for body shaming, but she will need to lose weight for the college game or you'll never see her playing in more than 4-5 minute stretches.
In high school, she could just jog up the court and she never was in the lane when other teams shot FTs.
I think you're going to see lots of offensive fouls on her or ISU fans will call it "flopping".

I don't think the list is correct. Cindy Haugejorde has 2059 career points, ahead of Jaime Printy. I remember Printy was on pace to break Haugejorde's record but an ACL injury caused her to miss many games. Finally, Disterhoft broke the record that had lasted a long time.

 

[Georgia_Hawk]

I can't believe I sat through that whole game. The refs made it nearly un-watchable
