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

[TylerJ23]

Game is to fast for O Grady

It's damn near too fast for everyone

 

[hawkirugged17]

Gabby is on fire on defense ... ball pressure is working.

 

[Franisdaman]

Indiana Fever fans are salivating

 

[bhelm22]

lol you can't pick up your dribble and fall to your ass without traveling

 

[Buffalo43]

Gabby is a dog tonight

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

33 stood in the lane for that entire possession.

These refs don't deserve to be on a middle school gym

 

[like-woahh]

Gabbie going Super Saiyan on D, holy shit.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Quinerly with her 23rd foul...not called

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Holy cow... how do you fall down with the ball and not travel?

Credit to Marshall and even CC adding pressure out top.

 

[IowaHawkIT]

I don’t ever complain about officials. Ever. However, these officials are in over their heads. They shouldn’t be doing high school games.

 

[QChawks]

this is ugly basketball and WVU knows it’s their only chance

Was just going to say the same thing. She's killing it.

 

[NevadaHawk]

The girls are showing some toughness tonight

 

[coorsoriginal02]

Tremendous effort by Gabby.

Hannah has to learn to dribble - it’s turnover after turnover after turnover.

 

[markfromj]

Yes they can.

If there is some absolute standard to measure them against, yes.

But there isn’t and can’t be.

 

[MitchLL]

Sloppy ball handling and lazy passes.

But yeah, WV isn't very good on offense.

 

[Buffalo43]

I think someone pissed her off

 

[Hawksfor3]

Keep it up!

 

[spiderland]

Imagine being as bad at your job as an NCAA Women’s BBall referee.


Ha ha ha, just kidding. Nobody has that good of an imagination.

 

[Tenacious E]

Hannah HAMMERED.... Girl hurt her knee.

Then should have been a 5 second violation.

These refs are CLUELESS

I’ve been harping on this all season. This is not Iowa specific but women’s refs are just atrocious.

 

[ShonnDeereGreene]

Would sure like to see the men’s team play with the same defensive urgency as Gabbie bringing tntie!

 

[intrepodor]

She is dialed in. Giving some of that physicality back to them.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

If that wasn't a foul on Hannah...then how the hell wasn't it a travel on the WVU player??

 

[uihawk82]

What do you think of the refs so far?? Lots of swiping and bumping by wvu

 

[TylerJ23]

I'm not an expert, but I think we gotta try to slow things down.

 

[Franisdaman]

Powerade > Gatorade

 

[justinjdry]

If there is some absolute standard to measure them against, yes.

But there isn’t and can’t be.

I can't argue that I guess. Good point.

 

[Buffalo43]

Sloppy ball handling and lazy passes.

But yeah, WV isn't very good on offense.

If they had one decent shooter they would be a tough out

 

[uihawk82]

If that wasn't a foul on Hannah...then how the hell wasn't it a travel on the WVU player??

correct, refs are not controlling this game

 

[denmar81]

Iowa playing way too tentative. Passing up open looks and soft passes. Trying to force everything inside. Haven’t seen them play like this all year.

 

[Moral]

WV playing defense like nobody is watching.

 

[jonesy5960]

She’s a post. She shouldn’t be great at it.

Nikola Jokic disagrees.

 

[DEMGR]

That girl from WVU has the ugliest shot I’ve seen from a power 5 playwr

Austin Ash has that spot.

 

[intrepodor]

The girls are showing some toughness tonight

Iowa men should take notes

 

[Terrykohawk]

Hate watching a team play rugby/hold and grab defense. Ugly to watch. Some reams are lucky their opponents don’t start going headhunting in retaliation.

 

[longliveCS40]

Kmart not looking her sharp self tonight so far.

 

[QChawks]

only 6 pts this qtr

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Boy, most of these women really have to heave the ball up the basket, even when they are up close. There are a lot of bad misses.

 

[Bro D]

Large marge the official is clearly a moron

 

[BioHawk]

this is ugly basketball and WVU knows it’s their only chance

The only way Iowa has lost is when the other team turns it into a rock fight. Fortunately, Iowa has gotten good at beating it by having other players make shots. That said, they aren't hitting as well today so that could be a problem. As fun as it is to watch, Iowa struggles if Clark has to get 40 points to keep them in the game.
