Oh my gosh. I am going from thrilled how we played for 97% of the game to absolutely infuriated with the worst collapse I have seen in my life the last 3:15 to my heart still pounding and being so freaking frustrated but happy we played well in ot.
UNI men's vs Texas A&M in the NCAA tourney was way bigger, they still haven't recovered from that as a program. If our women lost ĺ o

I've got really bad gas right now. I'm blaming Iowa.

Huuuuuuuuge win! Real strong D, took their top players off the court with fouls, and we escaped Maryland with a road W. This was one team at the beginning of the season that I thought would be a final 4 team.

These girls seem to think they have enough talent that they can coast with a 9 point lead against a top-15 team on their court.

They do not and cannot.

Lazy passes. Missed free throws. Stupid turnovers. Lazy defense. We're going to get splattered by top teams.
Once you get past the top 6 teams or so, there isn't much difference between 7-20.

On both the men's and women's side we keep seeing these late-half meltdowns, and we keep saying it's a great learning opportunity.

Sooo....when do you suppose we'll finally fully grasp the lesson?
Exactly. The old adage that its great to get the win and then show them the film of the mistake, BUT at some point (after 19 games)! You need to stop making the same ones.

Ya people here aren’t sure if Baylor is good or not.

Before the Baylor game I noticed they didn't even seem to understand what the basketball was. I think we snuck out a win from them and they are just learning basketball.

They had only three losses coming in and were ranked. Plus we beat them on their court. What an ignorant post.
It was a joke. He’s making fun of how Iowa fans downplay great teams after wins. But you’re right, it is ignorant.

I like Deal and Stermlow over mcabe
And once again Deal may as well have not even taken her warmups off coming out of half time. Someone please tell me again that she's not playing during crunch time because of turnovers and then go back and watch our guard play in the 4Q. And the defense in the 4Q was horrendous by most of the guards. Maryland 12-15 points in each of the 3Q's and THIRTY FOUR points in the 4th. Really......
