Why do you not call timeout to get one last shot there? Matter of fact, why did Bluder call no timeouts when we were in shambles getting torched?

Not a good time or game to go the "Fran Playbook".

How much time was left?

 

[drew_hawk]

Lot of over bettors in mourning right now.

 

[MWardT]

Stop shooting threes that you can get at anytime. Take it to the hoop please

 

[DTP2]

So many terrible lazy passes

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Driving to the hoop has worked. Multiple players with 2 fouls.

But let's throw up 3s

THIS!

 

[kzoohawk80]

It feels like this game is over but down 6 when this team is due to make a barrage of 3's gives me some hope.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Fran McCaffery called that last set.
- Settle for a long 3.
- UConn in foul trouble, nobody drives.
- didn't go 2 for 1 so it doesn't matter about taking the clock all the way down.
- THEN after we blew it we let Paige Beckers DRIVE WITH 3 FOULS TO GIVE.

Goodness...

 

[Jimmy McGill]

If I am Bluder, I'm telling CC to drive to the basket and quit chuckin 20% 3 pters

 

[skydog0784]

Clark needs to drive and take Muhl off the dribble. She's off tonight. Kylie gave us a nice lift, more of her in the second half. Get the ball down low often to Stuelke and get Syd A more touches.

 

[kwik44]

Calling it now. Iowa wins by 8.

 

[MitchLL]

On the bright side...played like shit and only down six.

Could be a lot worse.

 

[longliveCS40]

Good thing Affolter came on late. Martin was bad and CC was terrible in that first half.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Powerball numbers?

9-31-14-54-16 and the powerball is 24

I'm fine with splitting it 78 ways with you boyz

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Terrible shot to end the half

Should have drove to the hoop to get 2 for 1 Possessions.

Dribbling out the shot clock for a bomb knowing UConn will get a possession is a head scratcher.

 

[cmhawks99]

Wow…..some of you guys…

We are 3 of 14 from 3, Clark has none…

We have 12 TOs, we are shooting 37%..

They 3 girls with 2 fouls…

We played as bad as we could and we are losing by 6….

And we overachieved ALL year…WTH?!

They were tired at the end there to.

We will win by 10 plus.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

As others have said... trash passing, throwing up trash after out-of-control-drives, Clark is ice cold, but only down six.

 

[amahawk]

CC may be the GOAT, but my God her 3 forces and misses when Iowa had a little mo just killed her team.

I would have sat CC for a bit. Forced threes and turnovers. No 1 pick?

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

The video game replays are stupid

 

[danny14]

Fortunately, U Conn didn't play particularly well on offense either!

 

[intrepodor]

Why do you not call timeout to get one last shot there? Matter of fact, why did Bluder call no timeouts when we were in shambles getting torched?

She did call a timeout

 

[shrinkhawk]

Stuelke and Clark will step up in 2nd half, plus relative uconn foul trouble=formula for close Iowa win

 

[ThBou345]

Why do you not call timeout to get one last shot there? Matter of fact, why did Bluder call no timeouts when we were in shambles getting torched?

I agree. You can’t take the time outs home with you. Bludder has zero sense of when to reset!

 

[biggreydogs]

They have foul trouble and we launch. I would chew ass all half long.

 

[QChawks]

Classic Hawkeyes

curse of Steve Alford continues 🫤

 

[longliveCS40]

How much time was left?

Like 2.5 seconds

 

[ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays]

Bluder has to make it easier for CC in the 2nd half. Multiple screen sets is mandatory and a lot of back cuts. Keep driving to the hoop!

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Yep. Drive to the hole again, and again.

You sound just like your mother

 

[uiowa08]

What's most disappointing is how bad the veterans are (Clark, Martin, Marshall) tonight. Being carried by the least experienced in Stuelke and Affolter. Didn't expect that. Sad to watch.

 

[markfromj]

This is looking like a huge embarrassment for the program.

No, it’s not.

 

[Legs94]

Stuelke and Clark will step up in 2nd half, plus relative uconn foul trouble=formula for close Iowa win

Clark picked the worst time to be horrible.

 

[Buffalo43]

She should have drove the ball i hope lisa has a sit down with her at half time

Come to Jesus moment

 

[skydog0784]

I can't beleve we're down only 6. Still in this game despite being out-played and out-coached. Need to make some adjustments. We're still right there somehow despite horrible play.

 

[longliveCS40]

She did call a timeout

One. One timeout in a half like that? And didn't call one to get a last shot before half? That's awful.

 

[intrepodor]

Calling it now. Iowa wins by 8.

I'll take it by 1

 

[Franisdaman]

Somehow Iowa only trails by 6 at the half (32-26).

Shooting 38% overall is 10% too low.

12 turnovers is wayyy too many.

How Iowa got their 26 points:

3-14 (21%) from 3
8-15 (53%) from 2
.................................
11-29 (38%) overall

1-3 (33%) FTs
.................................
26 POINTS

 

[Hawksfor3]

Like 2.5 seconds

Come on Lisa, use your timeouts plz.

 

[General Tso]

Feels like the start of the second half will be telling for how the rest of the game goes

 

[NevadaHawk]

If I am Bluder, I'm telling CC to drive to the basket and quit chuckin 20% 3 pters

YES!!!

 

[coorsoriginal02]

Paige > Caitlin tonight

It’s obvious. But there’s still a second half.

We have to see a new team show up after the break
