Edited the Title, now that we know she has been suffering from back problems. Get well soon Emely.

Jan got ultra conservative with her substitutions in the second half and it about bit her in the butt.

Like Legend said, it was a rough couple of days.
That hair on fire play we saw against cupcakes just doesn’t work well against P4 schools.
If Jan can slow her down some she’s going to be a fine player.

This was odd-even for Jan.....I expected see a bit of a reduced bench in crunch time, but she basically played the starters the entire game.....it makes me wonder if she was even aware of the lack of substitutions during the heat of the moment.....or if anyone brought it to her attention....
Iowa played cupcakes which most teams do early on. She looked good in those games but when the competition ramped up she struggled. Hopefully she grows out of these last two bad games because the Big Ten won’t be any easier when conference play starts.
Typically, aren't assts responsible or given tasks to handle in game?
The way Iowa didn't utilize the three fouls they had to give in the last couple of minutes indicates a lack of awareness or even confusion by the staff.
This might be nitpicking, but it nearly cost them the game.
I think Jan told her that she doesn't have to shoot every time she gets the ball.
She had a nifty assist to Stremlow for a lay up in congested traffic.
She is a talent who is a bit out of control at times. Think a wild colt who will eventually become a thoroughbred, hopefully
Bingo, and coaching in that 2nd half was bad. Miami’s post had 3 fouls and instead of getting the ball into Heiden she’s letting them chuck up 3’s. The girls were gassed in the 4th.
I feel JJ was trying to project calm on the sidelines in that 8 minute scoring drought.
The problem was Heiden was probably gassed, Hannah always has some WTF moments, even as a veteran, KF is inept, offensively, and Stremlow just isn't used to playing 30 minutes.
The obvious missing piece was Chit Chat.
Since neither Baylor nor Miami are considered high level teams, it's worrisome that those games were this close on a neutral court.
Good observations but I think beating two previously undefeated teams, and one that was ranked in the top 10, is only positive regardless of how close the games were.
Baylor was ranked 7th in the country...that probably classifies as a high level team.
Agree with everything else you said though.

Baylor isn’t a high level team?? They were ranked in the top ten and regularly pull top recruiting classes. It was the first time Iowa had beat them in 3 meetings. Miami was just in the elite 8 a few years ago. Not the sisters of the poor.
We go 2-0 and people are acting completely miserable. It’s gonna be a long season for some of you.
Jan may have been sending a bit of message too about playing within the framework of the system etc. I wouldn't read too much into last night's game. Let's see how ER regroups in the next group of games pre-ISU. I think ER has great upside and has shown flashes of brilliance along with a whole lot of "what was that"?
No one thinks they are very good...they got that ranking by beating Duke before everyone realized Duke isn't very good, either.
every team Iowa beats sucks and every team we lose to is amazing!!
why do you even care you apparently aren’t a fan lol.. go away
Baylor had to go to OT, on a neutral court, to beat Davidson.Baylor isn’t a high level team?? They were ranked in the top ten and regularly pull top recruiting classes.

They might be a top 5 team in a crappy Big12.
Nearly everyone here wants the same thing...a successful Iowa WBB season.
Hays and Stremlow are very competent players off the bench.
Can Rodriguez, Deal, and/or Houston join them?

Sure beats finding the misery in everything constantly! If what you’re saying is smart I think I’d rather be dumb.
Since that Elite 8 appearance Miami has gone 8-10 (9th place) and 4-14 (16th place) in ACC play,
And not a single person that played on that Elite 8 is still on the roster, so what that team accomplished that season means nothing to this year's team.
The way that Miami game was called, it can hardly be described as a neutral court.
Yep, beating Duke and due to the name of the jersey. People just think Baylor is going to be good, and maybe they will, but they basically have one player who can consistently score.
I can’t wait to hear the new reasons that you guys come up with for why Iowa sucks actually after the next big win! We all know you’ll be back to let us know the sky is falling when they do finally lose their first game.
Being 6-0 must be excruciating for you lot.

Baylor not a high level team? They were ranked 7.
So Baylor (who has a fine program) and was rated 7th or 9th, was not a high level program?
Davidson is not a bad team.
Yeah, you could tell it wasn't far from Miami.
Stop with the refs. Please. It’s so sad. We played a really solid 3 quarters and then collapsed and didn’t even play the 4th qtr.The refs had nothing to do with it.
As a long time Spurs fan…Emely reminds me of a year 1-2 Manu Ginobili…I trust Jan to figure out how to harness the chaos without destroying it
Baylor is absolutely considered a high level team.
I love her game, BUT right now I'd compare her to a wild horse. She's hard-nosed, talented, aggressive but entirely untamed. If Jan and the staff can get her under control, she has a very high ceiling. But taming her could take a while, and some wild horses just never can be tamed. We'll see how it goes with this one. Emely would be awesome if she can figure it out.
She's obviously pressing a bit.
Give her some time.
Once she finds her role she will be really good.
Never ref’d a game in my life. Just thought it was a pretty stupid comment considering there was like 1 post about the refs lol
Go back and look through the timeline my man. Once the game got close and we started shitting the bed people started complaining about the refs losing a 10-12 pt lead is not the refs fault. We were choking but luckily we held on and got the win. Because that might have ended up being a bad loss by the end of the year.
