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

[sbhawk64]

I would love to see UCon vs Maryland. Maryland is loaded this year

 

[birthhawk]

You guys do realize Iowa is playing THE blue blood program loaded with 5* players. There is no more talented team in the country. What is happening is supposed to happen. Iowa's only shot was we light up the three and they have a horrible day.

Down 14 at half is not too bad.

And to the poster questioning Clark, go eat a bag of dicks. She has been great all year. She's legit. Period.

 

[WestIAHawk]

No. Because she was pretty much a Uconn lock. Iowa doesn't recruit players if there is little to no interest

Thanks. They should have tried.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Both Fran and Lisa have yet to learn that lesson, for some reason.

The defensive issues are mostly rebounding and pace. We add size next season and I expect immediate defensive improvement

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[WestIAHawk]

Uconn plays great D.

 

[Franisdaman]

UConn looks stunned that a foul was called on them

 

[birthhawk]

Uconn plays great D.

Yup they do. One foul all half good? Not so sure.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Thanks. They should have tried.

I disagree. Use the resources on players you have a chance at. There was zero chance Paige was coming to iowa or anyone not named Uconn

 

[Franisdaman]

cant miss bunnies

damn

 

[WestIAHawk]

Hammer Williams....lol

 

[Franisdaman]

come on Hawks!

 

[TRHawkeye145]

That girl with the fro for Uconn is pretty damn good

 

[birthhawk]

Got some good energy so far!

 

[Franisdaman]

down to 8!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point.

 

[birthhawk]

Sure, that's a foul in this game 🙄

 

[Franisdaman]

down to 8!!!!!!!!!!!

back to 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[birthhawk]

Our other big might as well be a statue. She really struggles to move at all.

 

[denmar81]

Wow, they called a travel. Didn’t think that was a rule today.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[jdw10224405]

No review for a flagrant?

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa gets the Rebound

passes it to UConn

UConn with the lay up

wow

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

No review for a flagrant?

No blood no foul.

 

[Franisdaman]

No review for a flagrant?

Fran would be losing his mind, screaming for a review

 

[denmar81]

Iowa gets the Rebound

passes it to UConn

UConn with the lay up

wow

I’ve seen them do that a half dozen times this year.

 

[mdhertle]

No review for a flagrant?

I wondered about this, too. Most of the time when Iowa gets knocked to the floor, the officials just shrug.

 

[birthhawk]

Iowa gets the Rebound

passes it to UConn

UConn with the lay up

wow

That girl. Seems a bit overwhelmed. No shame in it, but we need Czinano.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

They're hanging in there! UConn is shooting so well though. And getting all the boards.

 

[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

Iowa gets the Rebound

passes it to UConn

UConn with the lay up

wow

What’s so painful about that was there were other options in the backcourt to pass to.

 

[MWardT]

What do the women have coming in for recruits? The whole team is back next year - so a good recruit might help them take the next step

 

[Legend12]

Clark's histrionics crack me up.

 

[jdw10224405]

Clark gets hit in the face, no foul of course. Just terrible!

 

[birthhawk]

Body check into the boards leads to layup. Nice job, refs!

 

[pocha444444]

Clark gets hit in the face, no foul of course. Just terrible!

Lol there was nothing there, she dribbled into the defender.

 

[Legend12]

Clark gets hit in the face, no foul of course. Just terrible!

Based on her reaction I will be surprised if she is not in a neck brace tomorrow.

 

[birthhawk]

Clark's histrionics crack me up.

Apparently need them to get refs to notice a foul not called. Got them a call next time down.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Defender was moving her feet. Good no call

 

[dconifer]

Terrapin fan here pullin' for the Hawkeyes. Not too late...
