*******USC vs Iowa Game Thread*******

[Tom Paris]

Um, hey Jan, they like shooting threes in front of their bench. You may want to draw something up to address that.

Don’t post about basketball. Please and thanks.

 

[BubsFinn]

As much as I love her, this team was better with Hannah on the bench.

If this day doesn’t leave a great impression on recruits I don’t know what else you can do.

When they announced all the recruits I thought "Damn, they're really gonna sell the atmosphere."

But that win turned a home run into a grand slam.

 

[BurgHawk87]

Not so fast my friend. Still an entire half of pressing, missed free throws, and head scratching passes to go.

I'll eat some crow and happily do it. Beer song 🎵

 

[danny14]

We have to get a recruit out of this!

At least it should help keep the ones we have already.

 

[Franisdaman]

24 years.

 

[paladinhawk]

Great to see Stuelke so fired up while on the bench.

 

[Moral]

Lucy Olsen with only 15 4th quarter points. Needs to step that up.

Hopefully this game sends the Hawks on a long winning streak

People will still complain though when recruits, especially bigs, still choose to go elsewhere...........

Iowa made their final 11 free throws.

JJ was smart enough to leave AOG in.

 

[lucas80]

The second half was pretty much the first time Iowa has handled the press effectively this year, so.............

So, you are saying the team is improving, and kudos to the staff and players?

Really? that's your post-game take?

 

[kwik44]

She would have drawn fouls and missed the free throws.

 

[DewHawk]

Blame the coaching.

whatever, grow up

 

[edgar dubois]

So entertaining. Great game ladies. Fans got their moneys worth today !!!!!

 

[BubsFinn]

Really? that's your post-game take?

Yes. As kwiki44 just said, had she been in the game, she would have just missed free throws and picked up that fifth foul at a terrible time.

 

[DewHawk]

So, you are saying the team is improving, and kudos to the staff and players?

I did, and also pointed out your "I told you", how long have you been waiting.

 

[WDSMHAWK]

Aliyah and Kylie only had 3 points combined but they played some of the best defense I've ever seen. Hats off to them.

 

[millah_22]

Why aren't we putting all the WNBA jerseys in our rafters?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

whatever, grow up

The hyperbolic default "blame the coaching" crowd should consider doing that first. 🫠

 

[Hawkfan_08]

What a stellar performance!

 

[BubsFinn]

We're gonna be here for an hour if the PA guy reads all of her accomplishments.

You are an arrogant know it all, save it for your family.

 

[bunsen82]

Is this what is going to drive the team the rest of the way. We have enough players that know what it takes to win in pressure moments.

 

[cmhawks99]

Pretty special, in short, this is why I assume a coach doesn’t send players to the bench & write them off. Lucy, who man, has she been struggling and AOG sure does play soft at times, but they won the game and Jan, instead of breaking up the chemistry in the 4th, left her best player on the bench all quarter.

I said it a few days ago, Jan won’t win this game, the players will and she let them !

Lots of fun!!!

And Illinois beat Maryland. We haven’t lost to any poor teams. And we battle!

Aaliyah’s defense has really improved since the start of the season. Kudos to her for having the determination to get better.

 

[Legs94]

Can we get the brothers some Hawkeye gear?

 

[hawkeye_wx]

The USC team is still out there to watch the ceremony. That's a pretty nice gesture.

They're spending the night in Iowa City. What else are they going to do on a Sunday?

[millah_22]

deadwood?

They're not a team full of Torbees. They're going to Brothers.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

The second half performance was not just a big deal for this team and their tournament hopes. There were also several top recruits in attendance, including Addie Deal and some highly-ranked 2026, '27, and '28 targets.
