3pm BTN

Iowa (10-2) looks to rebound after getting pummeled by UConn. PSU (7-5) is coming off a home loss to Richmond.

This shouldn’t be much of a contest, 96-67 Hawks.

I hope that the game vs.UConn has helped the Hawkeyes get better.

Lack of athleticism really does lower this team’s ceiling. But they are handling ball pressure much better!

Announcer said that Merkle wanted to avoid the 2nd foul, so she let Ava get post position...

No, Ava is too quick for her and it should have been a foul on the shove on the block attempt.

Merkle had a sneaky push in the back on the fast break earlier, cause she was BEAT again

WTF kind of foul call is that?

Also, no one wants to pickup the ball handler until they hit the FT line?

Penn State Lady Lions?

If only there was a word...any word...to formally describe female lions. Something common that even elementary children know.

But alas, Lady Lions is the best we can do.

Why not take a TO after that FT to advance the ball to half court and work on that 2 sec remaining situation?

Where was the last foul on Ava? She was just standing there. A total BS call!
Happens a lot with Ava. She has the absolute worse whistle in all of college basketball. She can get shoved and hacked all game with no whistle yet gets whistled for being in a legal guarding position. Officials protect the huge posts like Merkle and Crooks and screw over the smaller athletic ones.
