*****Lindenwood vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[The Big Z]

Yes. Yes, against Lindenwood. But thats what we need, against ISU, UConn, OSU, Maryland, etcc..Thats what you expect from a senior leader, and three year starter. Thats the point. And you didn't answer my question in the post you responded to. Why do you think she was still in the game the last 2 or 3 minutes with the 2nd and 3rd team? She's a starter for goodness sake.

She’s had plenty of good games in her career against good teams. 2nd team all conference and won a Gold Medal for the USA. Does she have flaws in her game? Clearly. But she gets nitpicked more than any other player on the team any time we lose.

Finally looked at the boxscore...damn, FT shooting continues to suck.

Team USA won the gold medal, but you make an interesting point that I've mentioned before. Hannah is what she was her first two years in the final 4 years. She's a really solid role player, as a third or forth option. Put her on a team where she can play that role and she is a solid contributor. Push her out front, and she seems out of her comfort zone. Thats fine by the way, but I think peoples expectations of her being a leader, or being a consistent scorer against top teams is not within her skill set.

Serious Question: What does Addie Deal bring to the table?

Doesn’t appear to be a very good shooter. Is it the “She’s a good leader” thing or what?

She shot good in a couple games. She's a good shooter, it'll come, you'll see

She's playing her first year in college in an entirely different role the she ever has in her career. She was a very good three level scorer in the largest class in Cali against the top level teams. She has the cred to back up her ranking. She has shot the ball and played better in games where she gets more consistent minutes. If were still bringing Hannah in to this, when has she ever been a good shooter outside 5 ft? She was a poor free throw shooter in high school, early in her career, and has gotten marginally better, but still struggles at the line. Thats just the evidence.

She's a freshman.
