*****Nebraska vs Iowa (W) Game Thread 🏆*****

It's not only her.

Watch her off the ball of defense/rebounding. Anyone else would be sitting and getting their ass chewed and rightfully so. I love CC but if she cared as much about defense as she does bitching at the officials it would be quite helpful.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Won't get bounced in 1st round, but could easily get bounced before final 8. It's Iowa sports and big games are not it's favorite thing.

No kidding, when was the last time this team did anything?

 

[NI hawk]

If she was short on everything I’d agree, but she’s just a few inches left or right on most of these.

I get it. I just watched her live from the stands and felt something was not quite right energy wise.

 

[nu2u]

You mad at the team because we’re losing…shocker of the day

I’m not mad at anybody. Blaming the refs for the poor shooting and poor defense is ridiculous.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

Clark could at least try and block out

 

[ddeanHawk]

Cc getting wore out?? I know I would be

 

[nu2u]

Oh sure, it’s the effort, because we’re losing 🤷‍♂️

[UpstreamHawkeye]

Playing a 9 seed today and getting wrecked so I don't think it's too much of a stretch. Especially if they come in with even less effort than today given it's a "cupcake"

Nebraska is the 5 seed.

 

[justinjdry]

Blaming the refs every time any Hawkeye team loses is psychological weakness.

 

[HIWILLE]

6-34 made 3 pointers in 2 1/2 games how does a great player do that. It’s got to get better in the second half. Don’t it?

 

[citizenHawk]

Trying to do it, but maybe as poor a half as I've seen Clark play. The pressure to perform finally get to her? This has just been a continuation of the 4th quarter from the last game. Seems Nebraska has her number.

She's going to have to get it together to get back in this. If anyone can do it, she can. Hope to see it.

 

[jellyfish10]

She has to be soft on D. If she's off the floor for foul trouble, it's bad news. The O lives and dies through Clark.

Correct when she is on the ball. You don’t rack up fouls by boxing out or closing out on shooters, neither of which she is doing.

 

[Franisdaman]

we might lose that #1 seed if we lose today.....

I'm not she is. But we are getting beat on tons of rebounds. Whiffing on box outs. Second chance points are incredibly lopsided.

 

[denmar81]

They are letting NE play super physical and they will continue to play that way until the refs call fouls on them. NE did it yesterday and won that way. It is not being called properly despite what some of you want to say. You try and shoot when you being hacked or get a rebound when they jump over your back. Or fouled as you dribble. We are not as physical and NE are playing into the lazy refs. If CC was on point today w her 3's it may be easy to overcome. Will see. I hope the refs wake up. Go Hawks!

If they’re allowing the rough play then Iowa needs to match it. Physical rebounding, in your face defense, hands on defense, and reaching.

Moron

Dude you’re always mad at someone on your favorite team. I’ve read your bitching long Enough to know…

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Highly unlikely that Clark only scores 4 in the end half.

Bout to go DOWN Huskers

 

[ddeanHawk]

we might lose that #1 seed if we lose today.....

More than likely

 

[kwik44]

Wilson ball has screwed with Caitlin's long shot.

 

[uiowa08]

The flame of greatness that is CC seems to flicker in the biggest games. For the best sports figures on the planet, it shines brighter in the biggest games.

I think the pressure of the season, commercials, interviews, plus all the miles on the tires this year have just worn her down. She’s hit a wall. But her team needs her to be a leader. She’s sucking the life out of the team with her shitty body language

 

[HIWILLE]

we might lose that #1 seed if we lose today.....

We should if we don’t it’s a joke

 

[luvmyhawks]

Lots of people in the women’s collet basketball world enjoying every second of Caitlin’s struggles this weekend. Time for her to dig deep.

 

[MitchLL]

Getting the deficit down to 5 points and see what happens.

Just weird that there's a long rebound when Nebby misses a 3 and a thud rebound when Iowa misses.
Is that ball rotation issue?

 

[NI hawk]

I think it will.

 

[StormHawk42]

Lotta angst here in the arena. Our zone is getting oblierated on theees and rebounds

 

[skydog0784]

Time to see what Martin and Clark are really made of.

 

[MitchLL]

we might lose that #1 seed if we lose today.....

Absolutely will.

Her stats in the NCAA tournament last year say otherwise.

Bad take.

Lol dumbass comment. Did you forget she led the team to the national title last year, those werent big games?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

These rims hate clark how many in and outs has she had during this tournement

Yeah it's highly unfortunate.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

She went for 41-8-6 against South Carolina in the final 4 game last year

 

[skydog0784]

I agree, we need to get away from the zone. This is their third game, let's run and play woman-to-woman defense.

 

[Terrykohawk]

Just frustrating to see Nebby, a team I already hate, have success. A program that allowed terrible things to go on. An arrogant coach. Hope we come back in the second half.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Right now, Jaz Shelley > Caitlin Clark

Bump until Iowa proves otherwise.

 

[DewHawk]

Pretty pathetic half by Martin and Clark. The whole team appears to be out of gas with a couple of exceptions.

 

[uiowa08]

Her stats in the NCAA tournament last year say otherwise.

Bad take.

13-36 from 3 in the two final four games. Below her average. She score a lot of points because she took like 50+ shots.

 

[longliveCS40]

Nebraska is the 5 seed.

They'll be a 9 seed in the tourney...

 

[NevadaHawk]

Feed Stuelke in the second half. CC drive hard to the hoop.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Damn! Every time Iowa makes a run, Nebby hits a dagger three.
