****NCAA W 1st Round- Illinois State at Iowa****

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Hawk women with their typical slow start, but are starting to knock down some shots.

ISU intends to double Czinano the whole game to deny her the ball. Hawks are gonna need to knock down the open looks to take advantage.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

13-12 Illinois State with the early lead halfway through the 1st Qtr.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Marshall with a 3 to give the Hawks the lead, 15-13.

 

[CarterHall]

Gabi not wearing the bun. Love those NCAA adjustments.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Hawks with the 21-15 lead at the end of the 1st.

 

[GeorgePeeples]

21-15 Iowa, end of 1st.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Martin's monster block was the best so far. But this team is rolling early. Nice to see Gabbie hitting shots.

 

[Moral]

Nice looking court they used for this game. Anyone know if there is ice under it?

This is the kind of astute analysis I come to game threads for.

If we lose, that's what I'm blaming it on. Better than blaming it on the ball.

 

[CarterHall]

She 'nocked it down!!

 

[paladinhawk]

Martin's 3rd block?

 

[jellyfish10]

If we lose, that's what I'm blaming it on. Better than blaming it on the ball.

The nice thing is if she needs to make an adjustment she can pull it up fairly easily. I hope she brought a hair tie.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

I see Carver Hawkeye is hosting the Oscars again tonight. More flops.

Bluder will make those adjustments at halftime if necessary.

Look up which ball Hitler used when he attacked Pearl Harbor. You might be surprised.

We attract them like moths to the flame.

 

[CarterHall]

Martin getting pinballed.

 

[CarterHall]

Finally!! Get the Original Czin the ball!!

***update***
Gabbie does indeed have a hair tie. I’m not sure how many hair ties are needed for a proper female bun.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

43-29 at the half. Clark might be going for a quadruple double tonight. Lots of great assists and steals

Go throwback for the 2nd half and bring back the scrunchie. We already have throwback Gabbie with 2 3s so far.

Scrunchies are back bro. You don’t even know.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Iowa played outstanding defense in the first half with 7 steals and 4 blocked shots. BTW Clark's numbers are 15 pts, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals so the quadruple double not entirely out of the question.

But with 0 turnovers the mythical quintuple double looks like a tough row to hoe.



(And yes blocks would be a better stat to use...)

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Off to a good start in the 3rd.

Yes!!!

 

[jellyfish10]

Hair tie for 3!

 

[CarterHall]

Hair tie for 3!

Keep making those and we won't be 1 & bun.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Gabbie Marshall and the ponytail are on fire from 3

 

[jellyfish10]

Keep making those and we won't be 1 & bun.

Yeah one and bun blows.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Martin also balling lately with a 3 of her own. Keep dropping bombs and bringing the thunder on D Kate.

 

[CarterHall]

AOG!!

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Horrible call. Iowa players guarding - position established hand up. IL State foul basically falls over tripping on her own feet and they call a foul on Iowa.

While it is true Bluder has had some disappointing early exits from the ncaa tournament, she also has a couple of Sweet 16’s (and counting) and an Elite 8. Hands down a better coach than Fran. The Hawks are fortunate to have her.

Nope. She's A Nepotist

 

[GeorgePeeples]

31 points in 3rd quarter.
Good.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

This one is all but in the bag. Need to get Syd AJ and Logan some spot minutes in the 4th and keep the legs fresh for Sunday.

 

[CarterHall]

And make sure no one does a Paige Bueckers in garbage time.
