*****Iowa vs Maryland Game Thread*****

One thing they should take from the film…the Maryland players made some beautiful pump-fakes. Very effective.
Jan should have explained that to her after the 1st time she did it. She didn’t, otherwise she wouldn’t have done it a 2nd and 3rd time. Most players in college know the rule but unfortunately we have a senior that doesn’t.
What mens game was even close to this??
We started like **** against Illinois and played like **** the whole game versus Minny.
She's not playing in crunch time because Jan trusts her starters more. It is what it is. It was pretty much a team collapse at the end of the 4th quarter. With that said, they beat the #15 team on the road for their 4th Big10 road win in as many tries. She must be doing something right.
It’s a bit of a mystery and as I labeled a concern. Her D tonight was great. Missed a couple of shots she normally makes but some good assists. I’m can’t help but think as most of Iowas players were melting down and throwing the ball all over the place that AD wouldn’t have been a better option. But JJ is about loyalty and experience.

Q1-Q3 39 points

That’s just an inexcusable. Iowa went full prevent defense and got exposed on their lack of full court ball control.

Also I know no one wants to approach the subject, but they are showing highlights of the game. HS was just horrific those last 3 mins. She’s gotta be more of a calming influence. Her decision making and play was just brutal.
Nope. A Senior who has played as much as she has should be able to complete an inbounds pass and have the knowledge she doesn't need to just stand there...
Why would you trust your starters going forward against pressure after what you saw tonight?She's not playing in crunch time because Jan trusts her starters more. It is what it is.

A lot of us (definitely me) were frustrated with last 3 minutes of regulation as it was awful including coaching. On the other hand, JJ had them ready in OT and the players collected themselves and came out back on track.
But the biggest concern to me is the lackadaisical play across the team at times and the absence of a basic bball IQ. All JMHO.

4-5 years with them vs 3 bad minutes?
If she would have played Journey more in the 4th quarter it probably doesn't go to overtime.She's not playing in crunch time because Jan trusts her starters more. It is what it is.

Nah you gotta be more situational than that. You’re being too simplistic. It’s a team that’s struggled against pressure. Figure out your best close out 5. I’m sorry it doesn’t include HS. It’s situational not personal.
Love Journey's game. She's a rebound machine with a nose for the ball. Makes very few mistakes, especially for a freshman.
It’s a basketball game, not life or death.
Hindsight is better than foresight I realize but with the way HS was playing late in regulation, might have been better to go small or go with Houston. This old ex coach might have gone small. Inbounding after a made shot-run the baseline and maybe have someone else make inbounds pass.
Yeah , ranked #10 , lost to #1 and #10 at game time. Battling every game and coming out on top. Team is gelling and stupid fans are yelling!
Any big ten road win is an achievement!
Why, she dropped an inbound pass and almost lost the game?
Do we have any other sideline inbounds play then lining up in a bunch?
High school? Hannah struggled tonight, especially towards the end, but she's won games for them as well and was just named Big10 player of the week for 2 straight outstanding games. In any case Jan isn't removing her from the lineup at the end of games so everyone is just going to have to deal with it. 17-2, 8-0, 1st place in the Big10. She knows what she's doing.
She's got flaws but to say she's regressed is moronic. She's the team's best rebounder, best post defender, and even though she had a couple of bad inbounds passes (one wasn't on her imo) she's improved her play making ability to the point where she's second on the team in assists since conference play started.
We'd all love if she was a better scorer but to act like she's not doing anything else is lazy. You take Hannah off this team they lose tonight by double figures and they are probably close to .500 team overall
Dude you’re not even arguing the point. Don’t coach br big 10 weekly awards. Coach situationally and what’s best for your team.
there are times when HS should NOt be on the floor.
I think she played the entire second half and was gassed. I know Layla is struggling bjt she should have gotten a couple minutes at the start of the fourth to give Hannah a rest.
You saw at the end what the problem is with relying on the quick timeouts to advance the ball. After a few made baskets you are out of timeouts and you are unable to use a timeout when you are "stuck" or to draw up a play.
Not a fan of using that "advance the ball" timeout as a crutch.
