Sounds like the team will be playing with a chip on their shoulders after just missing out on the NCAAs the last two seasons. I also like the talk of how everyone has improved.

I was surprised she wasn’t a unanimous choice by coaches or media. Coaches picked Hallie Thome unanimously, but not Megan. And both lists have her as a forward - I assume that’s because they can only pick one center (Thome).
Gabbie Marshal(2019) commits to Iowa. YouTube video highlight reel lists her at 5'7 and article says 5'9.

Back from Carver Where the Hawks beat MSU Moorhead 85-56. MSu is a top 20 DIV II team that was 25-5 last year. they hit some threes and FTs for most of their scoring.
Some highlights;
Chase Coley looks much more aggressive and didn't shy away from contact. Hit some shots and had 10 rebounds.
Amanda Ollinger is in better condition and also had 10 rebounds. Handled the ball pretty well.
Carly mohns played a lot and showed real hustle and quickness tonight. As along as she is healthy she will be a solid contributor.
Alexis Sevillian has a very nice shooting touch and hit a couple of threes.
Megan was Megan with 22 despite the double and triple teams.
Tania had 12 and started. She also had a couple of threes.
Kathleen Doyle was the third player in double figures with 10.
The Hawks had 4 with 8 points (Chase, Makenzie, Hannah, and Alexis).
The team was pretty solid, with a 3rd quarter lull as the officials stopped calling some contact. But they got the energy back and finished strong. All 11 played. Mak led the assists with 6.

I agree with everything you said. Amanda is in MUCH better shape. Coach Jan said in post game that they were happy to see her more aggressive inside. Said she was slow to grasp the intensity the coaches wanted. I've always thought she had talent, the only thing I questioned was her "want to". She showed much more of that last night.
I thought they sounded better and smoother than last year. Of course going from someone like Blabinot to someone like Brooks was going to be big transition.
I am surprised the Hawkeye Challenge game this Saturday has not been moved since it conflicts with the 2:30 football game. The attendance will certainly be affected. Any idea why not? Some logistical issue no one has mentioned?
It will be interesting to see Missouri, Pigelton's teams are usually well coached and they have a reputation for being very physical. Where our reputation is for having trouble with physical teams (of course we have to get past Quinnipiac first). Gotta pick the Tigers to win the tournament, hope I'm wrong.
Missouri is ranked #16.
