Iowa WBB vs Rodents game

[BAJDHawkeye]

Just saw that Destiny Pitts, the leading scorer for the Gophers, has announced she’s entering the transfer portal. Not happy with her suspension. She posted it on her Twitter, but I’m too clueless to link it here

Also, it appears the Bello twins ( one of whom is the BIG leading rebounder) didn’t go with the team to the Illinois game as a voluntary protest in support of Pitts. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

In the meantime, hope the Hawks are focused and take it to the Gophers tonight.

It will be a tough game since it’s there

Well, sounds like her leaving was destiny, but sure is the pitts for them.

She was pitted against her destiny...

Curious situation. Body language during a game? Resulting in suspension?

It was WAY more than that. She went after Coach Whalen during the Nebraska game. Shouting at each other during timeout.
She was recruited to Minnesota by the old coaching staff and there was obviously some friction there. The fact that she has so quickly announced she was leaving says a lot too.

It feels like she will transfer to Texas Tech, where her old coach is now.

We are losing 3 guards, come to iowa. After all we recruited her to and we were one of her choices I believe.

we are getting a guard that will gladly take all those shots.

I think there's a reasonable chance Minny WBB has a new coach next season.

No way. Whalen is a legend in these parts. She'll be given plenty of time to learn the gig.

Whalen snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last nite.

When you play not to lose... you usually lose.
