1pm BTN

Should be a good game as Minny (11-1) has won 8 straight, their only defeat was a 18 pt loss to UCONN.

Unfortunately we are hitting that new duck movie so I’ll have to miss this one.

Go hawks!

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

thank you.

 

[ddeanHawk]

Minny is going to be tough

 

[icwesthawk]

I see ducks as being more important

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

In my seats, let’s go Lady Hawks! Big game today.

I imagine many of you waiting for this game on BTN are watching the Stonehill - Rutgers game. Stonehill up by 1 with 1:41 left but RU at the line. Anybody's game...

Edit: RU makes both FTs and are up by 1. Real good game.

2-12 Stonehill.

Yikes.

Rutgers pulled it off.

Only 6 scholarship players, missing 3 starters. Wow...

 

[QChawks]

Rutgers survives

Lucky. Did you see Nikki Haley? Not intended as anything political, just cool that anyone running for president came to the game.

 

[skydog0784]

I don't remember the B1G being down this bad for quite awhile.

 

[QChawks]

4-0 hawks

[skydog0784]

Well this is starting off great!

[Moral]

I'm starting to think Clark just has a natural feel for the game.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Ladies
looking good thus far.

I think it's really cool that the great state of Iowa has three players on that Top 10 list!

Iowa getting to the rim easy today.

 

[Franisdaman]

#52 is a load

Hannah is very good at this lay up drill

Stuelke taking it right to Sophie Hart

Pic?

Ladies

and your thoughts on how they are playing?

=)

Good one. 😎

 

[Hawksfor3]

Did look like she was going to dunk,

 

[NevadaHawk]

Hawks are dominating in the paint.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nice play Stuelke

 

[NevadaHawk]

Strong first half for the Hawks.

 

[Moral]

The women's games go so fast with the reduced commercials vs the men's games.

 

[Franisdaman]

Halftime question for everyone:

will Caitlin keep up her 30 pts/game average through the end of the season? Or will it settle to 27 ppg (what her career average was after her junior year)

 

[Hawkfan_08]

the 3 starters injured?

Yes. Sorry I didn't check my phone until half.

Great first half for Iowa.

Stuelke can take her girl off the dribble any time she wants.

Martin looks like she might drop 20 today.

Gabby has been tough defensively.

Watching Goodman box out warms my soul. A lost art.

Affolter continues to be my favorite player not named Clark.

plus the games aren’t so late 😎

I think settle but it may not be a bad thing. I think we are seeing how Martin and Stuelke can help carry the load.

 

[skydog0784]

I was checking out halftime stats and stumbled onto the MN roster. I didn't realize Monica Czinano's sister, I assume since they're both from Watertown, MN, plays for MN. Looks like she doesn't get much PT and doesn't look like Monica at all.

 

[Franisdaman]

it seems like on every possession CC could easily get a shot off

Should be able to get in an early dinner and be asleep by 5.
