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

[MVPFAN]

Congratulations to the ladies for a great team win. I thought they were in deep shit when SC caught up in the second. We should have been up by 30 in the first half if we could throw the ball in the ocean from a boat and not turn it over. I am honestly very impressed that they were able to not only continue to battle but even pull it out. AOG and Lucy were great in the 4th after struggling in some recent games. It was nice for this group to make their own great memory.

Moot at this point. Probably never see them in Carver again, and remember that Older brother is a Clone, so.....

I'm guessing they will attend the Fever game.

Affolter had a great line in this game

Yes, she did, but this season as a whole has been a significant step back.
Hope this is start to a great finish to the season for her!

Everything about that game was great but Fox's telecast. Cutting to the studio for fifteen minutes before the ceremony was a colossal misstep.

Could have been interviewing past and present players and coaches.

Olsen needs to sit

What you talking about Willis.

What you talking about Willis.

Good stuff

Kylie didn't score so I suppose she should sit, if you looked at her stat sheet. However watch or re-watch the game and a person will see that the stat sheet doesn't always tell the whole story. I thought she was great yesterday.

Just wait, they’ll be back next game, even w/a win. We’ve got plenty of dumb fans. Kylie did indeed play awesome though. This game and the way Afolter, Kylie, AOG, & Lucy played pretty much ends for all time the thought that “watching” a game is enough to make “coaching” decisions.

If these girls had been treated the way that 15/20% of our fan base wanted them to be, they would’ve never been in any position to perform the way they did today. That’s why I treat them like they’re stupid and they love it.🥳

 

[cmhawks99]

Our passing is gross and Olson’s is the worst at it. They don’t know which pivot foot to use to get the ball to the post and the pick up dribbles all over the play.
Easy fixes but I don’t know why they haven’t

Hmmmmm

 

[cmhawks99]

Juju’s family is absolutely hideous.

Huh….never even noticed them. Are you talking looks or did they do something. If it’s looks, that’s pretty lowbrow

 

[cmhawks99]

The second half is going to be an *** kicking. This team is soft, panics, and goes blind frequently when passing the ball. If they press you have to make them pay for it, Iowa throws it away.

How’d that go ? The funniest part, DewTrojan on the USC board is probably lobbying for Their coach to be fired right now for all these same reasons. 🤣

It’s almost like this is a game, where the other team is trying to win too, and it ebbs and flows and sometimes one team plays well and then the other team… Weird?!

 

[cmhawks99]

This team is not coached well. Picking up dribbles on the press shouldn’t be a college basketball issue, I see that in grade school games. Same horrible passes game after game. Guards dribble drive only to stop with no where to go. This whole year has been frustrating watching the same mistakes not being coached out of these girls.

You talking about USC or Iowa…..😂😂😂😂😂😂

Been a while since I read through a game thread after the game… All I can do is shake my head

 

[cmhawks99]

For whatever reason, they don't want to come to Iowa, despite us having recent success with Gustafson, Czinano, etc.

You can blame them for not trying "hard enough" and to your specific liking as a fan, but they do try.

These tall posts just typically choose to go to other elite schools.

And Meg & Monika were still only 6-4/6-3

 

[cmhawks99]

Heiden very athletic plays good D and rebounds. Dont care if she scores a point. She is the better option and should be playing in this game.

Oh really

 

[cmhawks99]

Coaching

And now? Oh maybe you’re talking about USCs coach. This is exactly why I don’t spend half the game complaining about the coaches.

 

[cmhawks99]

Is that the default answer in the NBA as well?

No shit dude…. It’s honestly embarrassing. I couldn’t help but go back and take a look at what some of these usual suspects said while we were losing. You’d think they’d learn their lesson, wouldn’t you?

 

[cmhawks99]

Oh JJ wants to be her own person and not use what Lisa successfully did

This is hilarious if you ever actually truly thought this

 

[cmhawks99]

Coaching

And now….everyone should have to go back and review what they said during these threads

 

[cmhawks99]

Reality sets in. USC is virtually Bigger, Stronger and quicker at every position.

No…not quicker!

 

[cmhawks99]

Those 3 are graduating

And yet, THOSE 3 were the most important to winning the game.

 

[cmhawks99]

Top qualifications in recruiting...handle pressure, make Ft's,


“””””make layups!”””””

See WNBA

 

[cmhawks99]

Whatever has happened, leading this team after 3 quarters is pretty incredible. One loss, #4 in the nation.

Make. Free. Throws.

I don’t know, based on what I’ve been reading once we had a lead it should have been an easy win from then on…

 

[cmhawks99]

Apart from some of the fouls, that might be the best quarter this team has played all season.

So now we have a good coach ?

 

[cmhawks99]

I commend our gals for the battle and for not crapping their pants as much
Hope they can finish it off!!

For not crapping their pants as much as our fans did… Yes, I agree

 

[flaiawis]

Happy dance.
