First of all Lisa doesn't recruit that sort of player. She doesn't fit in with Iowa's typical recruit.
LSU & IOWA meet the media on Easter Sunday. Lisa hopes she can talk to the officials this year
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Clark will need to shoot well from 3-point range. Hold their own on the boards.
Hopeful for a win tomorrow night - Go Hawks!

Need another team win. At least 4 in double figures.
Honestly, I would rather Clark drive and dish to either Martin or Marshall who may be open for the 3. I think we are in great shape if Marshall shoots 10-11 three pointers instead of Clark. Clark just needs to drive, take the lanes when given, and get to the line and leave the majority of threes to Marshall, Martin, and Affolter.
Should watch the old Celtics vs Laker games. Lots of thugs out there. Several of them in the Hall of Fame. Things get heated and you just have to fight through it.
"that sort of player"... you know somebody is going to twist that one against you.
Yeah, She just doesn't fit at Iowa. Not because of her color but because of her attitude."that sort of player"... you know somebody is going to twist that one against you.
Comparing Caitlin and Angel...
It's like comparing Jordan and Rodman.
One is famous because of their basketball greatness, the other is famous for their antics on/off the court. (And even then... Angel wishes she had half the impact that Rodman had on a basketball game)

Pretty sure she'd be academically ineligible at Iowa... Isn't that why she left Maryland?
I don’t mind so much the on court in your face antics by Reese near the end of the game. What I found more disrespectful, was the handful of LSU players during the postgame celebration getting the mic where they’d normally say how happy they are and praise to their teammates. Instead they decided to use that time to lecture Caitlyn about respect. Talk about disrespectful.
Pretty sure that's why. But ol LSU let her in with that 1.6 GPA.
And that’s why if you’re a parent and your daughter is a D1 basketball recruit, you feel good about her going to Iowa because you know the coach and people there care about her and will look after her. Case in point, Ava Jones. THIS is why I love our coach and what she’s built here and I’d never trade her for someone like Mulkey, even if it means we never win a national championship.
Reese is trashy; hair pulling, childish mannerisms on the court, elbowing Molly Davis in the face last year on an inbound play, etc. And I'm surprised Clark wasn't 'T'd up' a few times with her actions on the court. As far as the hypothetical of either of them at Iowa:
1) If Reese can't make grades at Maryland, she wouldn't make it at Iowa, either.
2) Not sure if Iowa would want someone like Mulkey with the baggage she brings OR Mulkey wanting to come to Iowa - not 'high profile' enough.
That was the NCAA doing DEI last year, and the lauded it. First time 3 women, of color, reffed an NCG. They were garbage.
The accuracy of the calls in the LSU-Iowa game was 88%.
However, an independent review said it was much lower than that. The norm is 91%.

Exactly. While technically the T on Clark may have been fine by rule, (so they probably counted that as correct), everyone who saw that commented that it was a ridiculous call and should not have been made.The accuracy of the calls in the LSU-Iowa game was 88%.

I didn't think the officials had an agenda, just plainly in over their heads.
When 3 players have 2+ fouls and easily in the bonus early in the 2nd quarter, it totally changed the complexion of the game. That girl that went off for LSU only did so because of the foul trouble LSU was in.
Who knows whether we win or lose the game, but what we got wasn't the nat'l championship game everyone wanted. And that BS technical on Clark in the 3rd, when it gave 4 FTs to LSU and effectively put the game out of reach, no one outside the LSU bench would have said that was worth a technical foul.
Nope.Will the refs T Mulkey up when she does this?
I suspect the plan is for South Carolina and LSU to meet in the title game, with South Carolina winning.
Likely wouldn't be on the team because she would be scholastically ineligible.
Van Lith looks like some kind of stoned out crackhead there.
Really? You telling me LSU fans are better than us? Because there's more than a few of their fans who do.
Reese wouldn’t be eligible at Iowa.
Why wouldn't the refs even speak to bluder if there wasn't a little bit of an agenda going on
To be clear, Bluder said she didn’t feel she could speak to them, not that they refused to. Outside of a couple instances that we’ve talked about ad nauseum since last year - I didn’t watch the game thinking it was one-sided; I thought they were simply bad and called every call possible in the first half especially.
I’m a firm believe in the cliche about never attributing to malice what could be incompetence. I think the moment was too big for the officials, and we’ve long seen that officiating in women’s hoops has been a problem. Heck, as we found out yesterday they apparently have trouble drawing/measuring the 3 point line!
Bluder mentioned in postgame that she didn’t feel she was able to speak to them.
Very likable if you can get past the hair pulling, foot stopping, technical receiving, taunting, questionable GPA, "no longer w/ the team" messages.....
I guess one 30-minute press conference erases a proven history of unlikableness....
Academics aside, she's a diva, and LB wouldn't make concessions just for her. AR would almost certainly transfer after one season because she and the Iowa WBB culture just don't mesh.
And truth be told, I don't think she would have thrived under Viv Stringer.
Same. I feel Iowa is at it's best when CC is getting everyone involved. I know she CAN make the logo threes, but can get that shot any time she wants it. She hasn't been making many of those lately from what I've seen, anyway.. I prefer the higher percentage threes, and her drives to the basket.
As for LSU, Iowa needs get payback so that AR and Mulkey can just go away.

If I remember right most fans were pretty supportive of those two in spite of a few hi jinks on the court.
We rooted for them but knew they were douches. Look at CC, I’m annoyed with her whining now, if she wasn’t awesome, it would be worse
So if Reese did play for Iowa we’d know she was a jerk but still root for her? Personally I would. She might be a jerk but she’s our jerk kinda thing.
I’d be slightly Embarrassed if the coach didn’t resign her in. I don’t despise her because she’s a Tiger, black, or competitive…she takes things to a trash level or taunting and the amount of people who defend her and equate what she did with the Cena gesture to what CC did with it, is fvcking ridiculous
Gotcha. Thanks.
I also cheered like crazy for DeSanto, even though he had a little history and had a few moments here in Hawkville
