*****Official AP #26 IOWA (20-9) vs AP #1 UConn (26-1) Sweet 16 Game Thread*****

[HawkInArk]

That woman referee was right there!

 

[hknation]

I think we know who the announcers are favoring. 🤔

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

The travel call on Warnock when she was mugged and injured was complete crap

 

[SotaHawk87]

Sharpie UConn

Expect the same from the refs. UConn the more talented squad but they will get the calls ALL DAY.

 

[HawkInArk]

I think we're going to get outrebounded by 20 or 30

 

[rufus-hawk]

Good job, ladies! Let’s go 2nd quarter.

 

[hawkedoff]

So far we are holding our own. Hope clarke funds her range

 

[GeorgePeeples]

Total fouls in 1st quarter:
UConn: 0
Iowa: 1

 

[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

Rebounding is apparently optional.

 

[HawkInArk]

Good job, ladies! Let’s go 2nd quarter.

The words from a player's mother!?

 

[hawkedoff]

Rebounding is apparently optional.

I like the one where it literally bounced in front of our player and uconn grabbed it.

 

[jdw10224405]

Closed the gap a bit at the end of the quarter, but the UConn's size is showing a big advantage so far. If the refs aren't going to call fouls on UConn's forwards, Hawks may be in for a long day.

 

[DodgerHawki]

Rebounding is apparently optional.

It is amazing if Iowa ever actually gets a defensive rebound. I get focusing on trying to box out, but no one on Iowa goes after the ball.

 

[HFan1981]

Can't rebound. That's the difference so far

 

[HawkInArk]

I like the one where it literally bounced in front of our player and uconn grabbed it.

Man, that was pretty pathetic.

 

[Franisdaman]

Sharpie UConn

you gave up already?????

 

[Franisdaman]

UConn w/ 6 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS in the 1st qtr

 

[hawkedoff]

This is better than the men's game? I keep hearing the women's game is just better technically. I don't see it

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

you gave up already?????

Iowa has less than a 1% chance of winning this game.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

No.

 

[rufus-hawk]

The words from a player's mother!?

I thought they did well. I have never birthed another human, though.

 

[Herky T Hawk]

Difference in the game is rebounding, but also we’ve missed about 4 layups and they’re hitting theirs.

 

[jdw10224405]

Hawks not getting any foul calls or rebounds, game starting to slip unfortunately.

 

[Franisdaman]

2nd chance points

12 UCONN
04 IOWA

I said in the orig post that rebounding & limiting turnovers would be key

Fook

 

[rufus-hawk]

I think it’s improved, but definitely not better. Reffing is terrible. Can get sloppy for long periods.

But players of Clark’s caliber are worth watching.

 

[HawkInArk]

Yeah...

Our girls just don't play defense or rebound...

Chances of winning (or keeping it a good game) have plummeted.

 

[DodgerHawki]

This is better than the men's game? I keep hearing the women's game is just better technically. I don't see it

It's not. Appreciate both games for what they are, this is very high level basketball. But the nonsense about fundamentals is just that, nonsense.

1. Just asking for 1 freaking foul to be called on UCONN.

 

[stillh8unlv]

Barring a lights out performance from Clark starting shortly, they're going to lose this by 20-25 points.

Still too big of a gap between the best and everyone else in women's bball

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Uconn will get all the calls. Unless our players are bleeding profusely it will be a no call.

 

[HFan1981]

I don't usually watch women's basketball but shoving people around is still a foul right?

 

[pocha444444]

This is better than the men's game? I keep hearing the women's game is just better technically. I don't see it

The defensive effort is atrocious.

 

[Legend12]

LMAO

The gap is not as big as you think. Uconn will be lose to Baylor by double digits. We are losing because we can't rebound and the refs have swallowed their whistles

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Martin gets tackled. No call

 

[doughuddl2]

Unreal no foul!?

Iowa charge. Of course.

 

[GeorgePeeples]

1st foul on UConn comes with 1:17 left in 2nd quarter

 

[HFan1981]

Well that was bullshit

 

[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

Guarding the shooter with the hot hand is apparently optional.
