Iowa’s players and coaches have plenty of experience in Big Ten Tournament championship games.
In 2019, Megan Gustafson and company won close games over Indiana and Rutgers, before beating Maryland 90-76 in the championship game to capture Lisa Bluder’s second Big Ten Tournament title.
In 2021, a very young version of Iowa’s current starting lineup beat Purdue, Rutgers, and Michigan State to advance to another tournament championship game. Iowa ultimately lost that one 104-84, but Iowa’s run was a preview of NCAA Tournament success to come.
Then last year Iowa beat Northwestern and Nebraska to get back to the championship game again. This time Iowa faced Indiana in its own back yard in Indianapolis. The hostile environment didn’t slow Iowa down much, and the Hawks beat the Hoosiers for a third time that season 74-67.
Iowa’s opponent in this year’s Big Ten Tournament championship is Ohio State. Yesterday, the Buckeyes rallied from a 24-point deficit to stun #2 Indiana 79-75. Will Ohio State parlay that 24-point comeback into a Big Ten title, or will Iowa use its championship game experience to add another trophy to the case?

Totally agree, I was really surprised how poorly Indiana played against the press. Early Indiana was so poised then anything but
Ohio State went on their huge run in the 3rd quarter by switching up their press, which Moren humbly acknowledged being caught off guard by in the postgame presser. Instead of guarding the in-bounder, that defender was cheating off to help deny that first pass in bounds. It forced Indiana repeatedly made the mistakes of 1) going for homerun passes that got intercepted and/or 2) inbounding the ball to the corners which is exactly where Ohio State wants to trap. That style of press is extra effective when Sheldon is involved because of her quickness. Curious to see if they try that against us too. If they do I wonder if we will need to run Monika up as a third option to inbound too to help relieve the pressure.
With regards to defending Holmes, OSU went small and fronted her. McMahon's vertical jump it made the lob pass difficult, especially if a help defender was lurking behind. It succeeded in forcing Holmes to tie her season lows in both points ands field goals attempted. I anticipate them trying the same to Monika. Of course the press also helped limit Holmes' touches by preventing the ball from crossing halfcourt to begin with.

that press is my biggest concern. glad Lisa got to see it
Ohio State is a much better team with Jacy Sheldon back. We need to limit turnovers as much as we can.
After watching the men poop their pants against Nebraska and seeing as how the wrestling team will watch Penn State pull away for the team title, I think I'm gonna go ahead and bet a little extra money on Ohio State just in case........
I'm so angry still I'm not sure I can watch this with humans. Especially with this start.
I don’t understand how you (Warnock) can just stand there and give a shooter 10 feet to rain down an easy three ball.
This is the title game - play hard 100% of the time.

She was watching the men play before the game.
Last shot at the men. I promise.
They want her to shoot those shots because she normally isn't a great three-point shooter. The defense is setup to stop Ohio State's other scorers from getting good shots. The gamble is that bad shooters won't make enough of those to beat them.
