*****UCONN vs Iowa (W) Game Thread*****

[QChawks]

8:30pm ESPN
Iowa -2.5
O/U 162.5

Last matchup: 86-79 Huskies 11/27/22

This game is more than Caitlin vs Paige but here’s a look at their stats:

I think the Hawkeyes pull away late earn a 84-77 gritty win.

Go hawks!

Just hope our ladies play well, win or lose. It is an epic group of players no matter the outcome.
Iowa 74 UConn 73
Go Hawks!

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

We just need Bluder to call the scoring play often enough.

In a similar vein, do you think this will have more or less TV viewers than the LSU game?

92-82, Iowa finds the pace and rolls. 15 pt game but get closer in garbage minutes.

The waiting is excruciating.

Iowa wins 97-79. Caitlin with 10 threes, 45 points, 14 assists, 12 boards, 3 steals, 2 blocks. Gabby locks down Paige. All is right with the world for two hours in Cleveland.

Is there some study out that basketball fans are insomniacs or something? This start is way too late.

SC probably in early game because of #2 seed.

 

[Franisdaman]

This woman has REALLY stepped up!!!

 

[Franisdaman]

UConn only goes 7 deep. 4 of the 7 are freshmen.

Gabbi3 will be guarding Paige.

Now, just watch, a player coming off the bench named "Ice Brady" will go off on us.

Aaliyah Edwards, 6'3 Sr.....17.6 pts, 9.3 reb, 2.0 assts

I love the perpetual smile Sydney wears. She gives off such a positive and confident vibe. I bet she does well in whatever she persues after college.

Hopefully "Ice" is a nickname given to her in the same manner as a tall guy might be called "Shorty."

Yes… that’s 🤢

If Hannah does her hair right, it could be a real Mickey Mouse affair tonight.

Like the new avatar.

Hopefully @Moral can stay awake for the tip!

yep; her legal name is Isuneh

Well, even IF the journey were to end tonight, what a ride it's been. Two FFs including a Championship appearance. This YouTuber has done a great job of chronicling the journey and the triumphs. And if you're heavily into the sappy (guilty) it is the love and bonds created that really brings a smile to your face.



There's quite a few to scroll through. Lots of great memories already, but why not add a few more? GO HAWKS!

 

[nu2u]

A lot of this…

And, for tonight?

I’d blow a trucker for a victory over LSU

[Franisdaman]

It's crazy to think that Iowa beat the defending National Champion both last year (South Carolina) and this year (LSU).

And tonight we play the bluest of blue bloods in UConn.

Has Lisa made Iowa a national program where she can now go anywhere to recruit?

Going to say 91 to 82 Hawks will wear them out in the 3rd quarter and start pulling away in the 4th. Great passing and lots of points down low.

What gets cut off regarding Molly: she's not been been ruled out of the Final Four; her status remains in question; she’s not been made available for interviews.

Check this out & watch:

 

[cmhawks99]

I’m not sure why I didn’t know this but I assume the last time we played them in 2022 it was a blowout…,

And in fact we were winning at the half & lost 86-79.

We’re going to win this game.
