Charlotte NC - Spectrum Center

The first real test for the hawks this season as they travel to enemy country to take on Hokies.

Head Coach Megan Duffy is in her first season in Blacksburg. She was previously
at Marquette for the last five years.

Carleigh Wenzel, Mackenzie Nelson, Rose Micheaux, Carys Baker, Matilda Ekh and Samyha Suffren return for the Hokies. Nelson earned a redshirt in 2023-24, while the other five combined to account for 52 starts and 31% of the team’s scoring.

ESPN gives VT 65% chance to win.

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

How’s it that we end up playing there 2 years in a row and 1 wasn’t a home game….?

Iowa, once again, is part of the (2nd annual) Ally Tipoff (based in Charlotte, NC).

The Ally Tipoff averaged around 15,000 fans for the inaugural 2023 event between Iowa and Virginia Tech in Charlotte, North Carolina. This year, the event expects similar crowd sizes, as the field features three 2024 NCAA Women's Final Four teams -- NC State, South Carolina and Iowa.

The #9 Wolfpack and the #1 ranked, defending national champion Gamecocks face off Sunday on ESPN, followed by Virginia Tech and Iowa on ESPN2. The Hawkeyes defeated the Hokies 80-76 in Charlotte last year. South Carolina last played NC State in November 2021, winning 66-57.

Coverage begins Sunday with #9 NC State against #1 South Carolina at 2 p.m. CT on ESPN, followed by Virginia Tech against Iowa at 4:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2.

Amoore transferred to Kentucky, following Coach Brooks.

Okay thanks. I thought she had another year, but when I saw she was gone I thought she went to the league. I know she was great against us last year almost matching Cc point for point and assist for assist..

Iowa -8.5

We will never see anyone like her in our lifetime

 

[nu2u]

Will be good to see Affolter get some limited minutes.

Will be my first live watch of Heiden and Mellegni. The player performance that I’ll be most interested in is Feuerbach. IMO she is one of the biggest keys to a high B10 finish.

On the other hand, the ESPN Analytics on that game page predicts Va Tech has a 65.5% chance to win.

Getting set up for the game, but Streameast doesn’t work for any games. Lotsa complaints in the comments, so it’s not just me.

 

[conn53victor]

EDIT: The bears game started working on Streameast, but the Iowa WBB game isn’t listed as upcoming. We’ve entered the wait and see realm.

EDIT #2: I found an alt-stream. Thanks Reddit.

Go Hawks!

Leave it to ESPN to show Kylie F and say it is Lucy Olsen. Are they taking notes from the WNBA?

Did they call us Iowa State or the Iowa Cyclones?

2nd chance points for VT

 

[Franisdaman]

Hannah!!!

 

[Franisdaman]

AOG w/ a beautiful pass to HS, who blows the layup

she should have dunked it!

 

[Franisdaman]

Syd enters at the 6:36 mark of 1st qtr

 

[Franisdaman]

Lucy hits a 3, hits a layup, draws an offensive foul & hits ANOTHER 3

 

[Bro D]

This team not being ranked is god damn hilarious

 

[Franisdaman]

Ava w/ a bad pass turnover leads to an easy 2 on the other end

 

[Franisdaman]

This team not being ranked is god damn hilarious

My wife, Margaret, thinks the same about the men's team!

 

[skydog0784]

Nice pace, these girls look good - on both sides. Edge to IA so far w. their big having 2 fouls I believe.

Nice to see Syd back. Also nice to see Kate and Gabbie represent. You could hear them shouting out for Syd when she entered the game.

 

[Bro D]

Olsen is nasty. She's got a quick twitch handle that I loooove

 

[Franisdaman]

HS on the block & the layup

nice

20-13 Hawks

 

[Bro D]

Man I like mallegni

 

[kwik44]

Lucy a fun player!

Also running the floor like nothing has changed. Could be a nice year yet again.

 

[Franisdaman]

beautiful fast break & pass from Taylor to AOG for a layup

wow

TIME OUT V-TECH!

 

[kwik44]

Who is this Stremlow??

 

[Franisdaman]

WOW!!!!

Stremlow!!!!

 

[Franisdaman]

After 1 quarter, Iowa leads 26-16

 

[IaHawks03]

When iowa has the last possession before the end of a quarter, I always assume a desperation 3 point attempt.

 

[skydog0784]

A lot to like if you're Iowa in that first quarter. Forcing VT to chuck it from 3 point land. Flow definitely in favor of IA.

So happy womens basketball is back so I can forget about football
