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

[QChawks]

7pm ESPN

These two schools haven’t played since Nov 2018 (84-81 Iowa victory).

WVU plays some string defense but I don’t think they enough offensive power. I’m seeing a 87-72 Hawkeye win tonight.

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

For all these amazing seniors.

Carver is going to be electric. Hopefully clark comes out hitting shots instead of starting 2-11.

Clark needs to not be cold. If Iowa shoots a decent %, they should win.

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

WBB is all we got…shake-n-bake!

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I'm a tad frightened.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

They're underseeded.

Its a contrast of styles. They are very fast, and press a lot. It looks like if Iowa takes care of the ball, shoots the 3 well, and runs a good cutting offense we should be ok as we should be able to outscore them. If we make lazy passes, or Clark gets frustrated, or we try to just pass around the perimeter it could be a long night.

They are 2nd in the nation in steals, averaging 13.8 per game.

Hope Clark is less wound up as she was the other game. just play and let the coaches handle the officials

That's true, but how many of those steals were against the second-ranked team in the nation? We'll find out tonight, I guess.

 

[Beattheohiostate]

Are they lined up outside Carver yet?

If it weren't for that danged fire marshall, they could have over 20,000 in Carver tonight like they did when C. Vivian Stringer was guiding the Hawkeyes. It'll sound like at least 20,000 anyway.

This Iowa team is battle tested, has played against as many styles as there are styles, has played on the biggest stage (still shocked by that win over S. Carolina).

They will figure this one out.

 

[QChawks]

FOCK!!!!

The NCAA is just determined to make sure I don't get enough sleep.

Lately it doesn't seem to matter as much as long as she's taking care of the ball and finding shooters and cutters. That's really when this team is at their best.

Well, that's unfortunate. Beth was her usual irritating self vs. Holy Cross. Of course, there are plenty of male announcers who are as bad or worse, so to coin a phrase, it is what it is.

I like Beth.

 

[DewHawk]

Hawks better be ready to be bounced around tonight or will lose to WV. JMO

 

[SunzOutGunzOut]

Must be making one for each of the seniors.

 

[HawkGem11]

If Iowa can get to 85 pts they win it is that simple.....WV struggles to score and didn't look all that good offensively their first game.

 

[Franisdaman]

For any IT issues, please page @Moral on either Line 1 or Line 2.

 

[SoonerBeAHawk]

In fairness to Beth M, there are really no good female announcers 😯.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Hopefully the lesson of the Great Creighton Caper of 2022 still resonates.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[Franisdaman]

Press Virginia.

Turn off the volume. You know what's happening if you're watching the game.

Within the last few years they've laid off so many people that there are just not many good announcers period.

 

[dbookie2004]

It is with great hope that the officiating is functional tonight.

 

[Beattheohiostate]

Turn off the volume. You know what's happening if you're watching the game.

Hey, why didn't I think of that? Oh . . . maybe it's because if I turn off the volume (mute is a term some people use), then I can't hear the crowd noise either. Damn, there's always something . . . but thanks anyway, genius. LOL

It’s been a while.

Turn it down low enough where you can't hear the announcer but still loud enough you can hear the crowd. If there's something crucial you feel like you need to hear, turn it up. EZPZ.

I do this for football games and haven't cared about the announcers for years. They're never saying anything you need to hear anyway.

Dead on…she needs to keep her head together. I hope her mom & dad drilled down on her.
