Lucy looked very solid, Smooth didn't press. Lot of good solid play from most players. While just an exhibition and don't want to over react definitely came away thinking damn Mallengi is going to be good.

Yeah, primarily Stremlow, with mixed results. Had a little flurry of turnovers late in the game. She is a high energy pest defensively though and should see good minutes.
I still worry that Lucy will get @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset 's hopes for a National Championship really high and then she does this:
Like the men, the lack of handles worries me more than anything... Hoping Olsen is someone that plays pretty much every minute of the game
Really high energy. It’s a D2 school in exhibition season, but man she was tenacious on defense. She wears big ol’ kneepads for all that action. Can shoot from distance and drive to the hoop to finish BUT can hit stop for the step back mid-range easy bucket. Not something we saw with Caitlin much.
The final box score.
14,998: announced attendance (tickets distributed)

Well CC rarely sat and I’m guessing you’ll see the same with Olsen.
Well I'm about 4 minutes in to the game. Worst part about me getting the BTN plus subscription, is that I have to drive out to LeClaire and show my parents how to sign in to BTN Plus
Love seeing McCabe drain threes. She may be the best Kent McCausland wide open shooter in the country
The fact we're not rated still gnaws at me
I've seen very little but what I saw was her mid range game was derozan legit. It's gonna confuse the shit out of teams because it's the complete oppo of CC.
This year is gonna be fascinating AF
Thanks for the reporting everyone. Good stuff.
The combination of Teagan and Lucy with Hannah and Ava has me shaking Elite 8 vibes out. With the bench and what these young women can do has me just as excited as last year. Let's keep this going!
And Stremlow is tenacious on defense
Feurbach had an efficient night. My candidate for most improved this year.
I made a chart of the games so I could watch as many as possible. There might be a couple of errors but this is what i found. I don’t have any of the big packages (FUBO, etc.), so I am limited.
I subscribe to Big 10+. Several womens games will be the only access. I've had the subscription for 2 or 3 years.
ESPN+ and Peacock. Lots of coverage I ain't gonna miss. I'll bitch about the cost when I'm dead.
It is hard to judge from a game against a DII school but we looked good with better defensive intensity. I still puzzle over who the core players will be by conference time. Here’s my current thought, but everything will change. Stremlow & the others may demand time.
Starters
I was disappointed in 4 fouls each from Stuelke, Olsen, and Feuerbach. They need to be able to stay in the game.
Finally, we might be the toughest team to scout in the conference. We certainly have a different look that the last several years.
Starters
- Olsen
- Feuerbach
- Affolter
- Stuelke
- Heiden
- McCabe
- Mallegni
- O’Grady

Yep, these women are nasty. Hilarious they're not ranked on so many different levels. I'm not tempering anything.. they're a top 3 team in the Big Ten which means they're a top 10 team in the country.
I like McCabe starting at the 2 since Feuerbach can come in and play the 2 or 3 depending on fouls and what not... obviously it'll change when SA comes back.
Regardless, we have a good looking team /creep
Jada didn't have a great senior season in high school and then the injury once she got to IC.
Not to judge, but her social media stuff and the fact that she really doesn't have a part of her game that she excels at has me thinking she won't contribute on the court much, if at all.
She just gives off the vibe of a party girl.
But it's early this season.

Dammit, Franny. I had my follow up appt with the Dr. this afternoon for my retina surgery a month ago. And now, you put up a pic that looks all blurry in the background, now that I got my vision back lol.Tis the season
Hope Guyton is able to go soon. Team could tailspin a bit if Olsen becomes injured. Not that Guyton could step into Lucy’s shoes but she needs some court time to get back up to speed.
Yeah.. this team should probably be ranked.. hope they prove me right.
Sure was nice watching a women's basketball game without all the reaching and grabbing. Just a preseason reminder of how much better the college game is overall. Much more like watching actual basketball.
Going to be a continual thing for Jensen to find the hot hand in any different game. A lot of talent on the roster. Hard to judge from an early exhibition game looking at different configs, but the team seems searching for their identity, the things that will work for them.
It's a bit strange not having an obvious team leader on the court. I suppose that might be Affolter. Idk. I'm wondering what Olsen might look like if/when she takes over a little bit, if she has that type of mentality that will rise to the surface.
The fab freshmen are going to play. This was a good showing for players in a debut in CHA. No obvious nerves.
Curious how it all translates to real competition!

I think both Olsen and Syd will be the leaders, and Syd is a dawg. Plenty of experience from the grey hairs, (sorry ladies, lolol) in Syd, Kylie, Hannah, Addie, and Olsen is a big time player. She was probably one of the top 2 or 3 transfer for this year.
SIAP: Did anyone else hear that Ava Heiden was sick during warmups tonight? Seen it in a comment on From the Hawkeye of the Storm show. The commenter indicated that they heard coach Jan say it. Maybe heard it on a post game interview? Could be a reason why Ava didn't start. I was under the impressive Ava had a better chance to start than O'Grady. Not that it means a whole lot in Jan's system.
Seems I found it in the post game interview of what they were referring to @23:20-24:01.

Oh my, don't get me started.
At first, I thought it was from year's past that they presented even though it had today's date on it. However, the more I read, the more I realize they are talking about the game were watching, especially when it listed Lucy Olsen as game high scorer.
I started thinking maybe I'm listening to a rebroadcast of the game, but that doesn't make sense either.
Have you ever had your brain disconnect from your head? Well that's what happen to me.
I said, what is this? Have I entered into the twilight zone?
I can't imagine what my face looked like. Is someone filming for a sick punked video?
Obviously, you come to your senses and realize I know it wasn't a rebroadcast coz I'm watching live post on this thread at the same time as the game and they match up. It's AI that's gone mad, not me.
I felt like George Costanza.
That's why I reposted their madness here.
