Assumed the B1G Tournament was always a week early as to not conflict with the men's tournament. This would have been a good year for the women to hold their tournament a week later and spread out games during the season a little more.

Just leaving this here.

Who is your surprise for this year? My pick is Chase Coley. She is a senior who has shown flashes. I think that she will play up to her potential and in control this year. She may be a starter at the 4 or first big off the bench.
Runners-up: Lexi Sevillian steps up because Tania Davis isn't up to full speed or Jinaya Houston does the "I'm not a freshman" act.
I think that there will be competition for minutes once the games get serious. Players will need that extra something to get into the top 8 for meaningful court time.

Amanda. I think she'll be Ally's heir apparent - a forward able to take people off the dribble. It looked like she was chomping for more minutes toward the end of last year.
Mak Meyer. Lisa thought she could be a Melissa Dixon type shooter.
She is certainly working toward it....

Houston taking a leave of absence from the team.

Yes, yes, whatever is going on with Houston, all of us wish her nothing but the best of luck and fortune. Difficult situations can be made into large positives. Hope it works out for her.
As for the team, the season goes on and there are multiple players who now have a greater opportunity to show they deserve a bigger role on a winning team!

She hasn't really wanted to play basketball for a long time is what she is saying currently.

Jinaya won't be back. But some good news on the Tania Davis front...
Bluder said junior point guard Tania Davis is “about two months further along than we expected” in her rehab from a torn ACL suffered late last season.
“I didn’t think we would have her back until Christmas,” Bluder said. “She’s not doing full-court drills, but her half-court is pretty darn good. When we start (practice) Oct. 6, I think she’ll be a full-go with a brace.

My wife was hosting a table at the University of Iowa's Study Abroad Fair when a tall young woman came up and talked at length. It was Paula Valiño Ramos, freshman from Spain. She was surprised when Jill asked for her autograph. Welcome to Iowa, Paula.
I see the full schedule with game times filled in is out on hawkeyesports.com. Now I am curious if anyone knows the status of the Puerto Rico Classic they are scheduled to participate in over Thanksgiving. I presume it can't be played in Puerto Rico now. Anyone know if there is a backup plan? Or do they just lose the three games?
