Coach Bluder & Fitz didn't have anything to say on the post game about her. As Gabe said she appeared to be walking fine in the hand shake line, but I'd guess she'll be further evaluated back in Iowa City. If she is unable to go, Alex Sevillian would step in with Tomi/Zion getting a few backup minutes. I agree Tomi looks promising from what we've seen of her, but let's hope Makenzie is good to go!

Tomi could have played eight or so minutes this game. There were still four starters in the game up 20 with five minutes left. Megan came back into the game with about three minutes in the game - us up 20. Why?
I listened and I never heard anything regarding Mac nor did I hear anyone ask. I didn't hear all of it but most of it, so I could have missed that part. Harmon was subbing for Lisa and Kathleen and Tania were on the last several minutes. I enjoy the show more when they just talk and skip some of the dumb questions from callers, the same callers by the way.
Wonder who is responsible for the women and men being on the same time and on BTN and
ESPN espectively
Yes, there are women bb fans and men bb fans, but some people, like me, watch both teams at home and it will be difficult tonight.
I was impressed by Ollinger's hustle play tonight. In one defensive play in the second half she lunged at the three point shooter in one corner, and immediately turned around and got the rebound in the other corner.
I'd like to see Tomi start splitting minutes with Alexis more going forward. She looked fairly good last night, is taller by 5 inches, and seems to be less turnover prone. Her three point shot looks pretty good, too.
I hadn't heard that, but it certainly seems better than a tear. Hopefully she can get back in a game or so to full strength.
I prefer Alexis playing early. Toni looked lost on D last night at times and was blocked several times. With year of strength and a summer of practice she will be good to go. Bluder needs to get Tomi and Cook more minutes each game though, especially when we have a lead so they have an opportunity to develop
It depends on which ligaments were extended. If it was the LCL could be looking at 10-14 days before she's at full strength depending on severity though it could be sooner. If its just the PCL it will be less time. She might be able to go a few minutes on Sunday if she responds well.
I agree Tomi takes much better care of the ball than Alexis, is quicker, taller, but is only lacking experience. I really like her quick release on her 3 ball & how she attacked the basket even though she didn't convert, improved strength will help her there. She also appears to be more aware of where the ball is defensively than Alexis even if she is slightly out of position at times, that is easily fixed.
Monika played a great first half too finishing against a physical interior defense. Playing against Megan in practice every day cannot be fun but it appears to be paying off as the season progresses. Really looking forward to seeing Kate Martin next season as those 3 from this class will be difference makers.
After today's game, I'm even more convinced Tomi needs to get more minutes. Her three point shooting and rebounding help fill two huge holes with our team. I understand people's concerns about her positioning or timidness, but those will improve with added playing time.
Megan deserves national POW. ESPN almost always has her as "also considered" but never gives her their POW award.
Monika and Tomi have both given us some good minutes the last two games. Hoping we can see more of Tomi.
In the game highlight posted on hawkeyesports.com, there's a shot of the locker room during an interview of Coach Bluder, and there's an AC/DC poster on the wall. I wonder which player it belongs to? Also, love that dig by Tania Davis on the floor that ended up in Sevillian's hands for a 3-pointer. Hanna Stewart was the "setter". Some volleyball move there!

Game will be postponed due to snowstorm.
ESPN2 will cry. As Judy Tenuta might say, “It could happen”.

The Iowa faithful delivered in big way(10,716) and girls answered the bell against tough opponent. Go Hawks.
In the new AP poll (2/18), Iowa is ranked 10th and Maryland 8th. Iowa moved up 4 spots while Maryland dropped one.

I guess it's a confirmation that Iowa is a very good team that Maryland only dropped one place.

This year the first round games are on Friday March 22 or Saturday March 23, and the second round games are on Sunday March 24 or Monday March 25. I can't remember exactly but I think in 2015 when Iowa last hosted the ticket price for both days was around $30 when purchased in advance, which included all three games.
OK, I'm quoting myself
Just read that Tania Davis is best air guitarist on the team. So, perhaps the AC/DC poster is hers?Similar threads
