Guys we’re beating tOSU…and by double digits. Yes their press will cause us issues but they have been out rebounded 35 to 25 and have given up 16 offensive rebounds to a team we smoked on the boards 44-33 & Their interior D is highly suspect !

I’ll give you even more….

We played awful!!! Offensively it was our worst game of the year, by far! No other comparable performance.

Rutgers has played MSU (10), Illinois (5-OT) Nebbie (7) close the last 8.

They score 69 pts a game, they scored 43, 6 in the quarter.

Destiny ADAMS avgs 18 & 10. She had 9-4, 3 TOs and was 3-15.

We won and got an ugly game out of the way 🤷‍♂️
@ Oregon would like to say hello. Nearly identical but at least tonight wasn't an L.

Both teams had decent 3rd quarters in FG%. Hawks with 58.3% and Rutgers with 46.2%. The rest was, well, shall we say, not very good.
 
If (IF) Iowa can get a win vs OSU, they have the full week to prepare for UCLA. Contrast this to the UCLA schedule with a game vs. Illinois Thursday night 2/20 and then a game 3 days later on Sunday 2/23 in Iowa City. That is a quick turn road trip for a west coast team with a day of prep at home and a travel day on Saturday, so if Iowa is looking for small advantages that might help.

Lots of prep time and scout for that game, and iowa should be well rested. I expect fans at CHA to bring their A-game on a Sunday, especially if the team is riding a 7 game streak.

I'm sad my wife couldn't get off work in time for us to go tonight. Ugly basketball is still basketball

About the only thing I can say about this game is they won and played pretty tough defense
Too bad Fran hasn't figured this out yet.
Defense wins you games when your having an off night shooting the ball.
Jan seems to have this fact down after less than one year as the HC. Are you paying attention Fran??

You may be right, but I would guess that UCLA won't fly back home between games. Still a lot more time on the road and disruption of routine for all the new West Coast teams.
 
That game was ugly as hell. Lucy was great, Syd did some things and the rest was terrible. We inexplicably started the game try to run the offense through the post and that set an ugly tone. Between our post feed problems and Stuelke not being able to make 3 foot shots it's a terrible concept. Please learn Jan from the many other games this year when standing and trying to run the offense through the post was bad. We started playing better when people moved, the ball moved, dribble penetration and find the open person.

Yeah it was a weird game. Sometimes those happen.

Meh….did we ever play better?! The team not named Lucy was 9-35. Jan wasn’t bricking shots, generally speaking players win or lose the game.

Fortunately they rebounded and played defense good enough to offset it. 🤷‍♂️
