*****Iowa vs USC Game Thread*****

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Dang. Still nice job digging out of that hole.

 

[BroncHawk]

That was a much better quarter

 

[WDSMHawk]

Good fight hopefully they can keep that momentum coming out of half.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Deal is back to the freshman she was before the couple good games. Team looks completely disinterested. Not hustling, standing around.

She’s programmed to feed the post even when a player is triple teamed. Coaching

 

[hawkeyewx]

Take care of the ball and make a few shots, good things happen.

Only down 6 despite a ton of TOs and missed <5ft shots.

 

[vamchawk]

She started and played awful.

In fairness, the whole team played awful to start the game

 

[Franisdaman]

Some things to clean up:

9 first half turnovers

6 missed layups (5-11)

 

[IowaCityLit]

The announcer even talked about the forcing the post. Great job becoming more aggressive on the perimeter. CC and Stremlow. Kylie with a couple 3s. Keep playing outside in and the snide game will benefit.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Alright, back in it at half.

Stremlow, Houston, Kylie with a nice half.

 

[Whtnhawk]

Deal wasn't up for it in the 1st half.
Nerves? Pressure?

 

[Slim45]

Chit Chat might be arrested for assaulting that girls ankles.

That was a disgusting move

 

[Franisdaman]

Down 15

cut it to 10 (at least) by half time

Mission accomplished

 

[Jonesy5960]

She’s programmed to feed the post even when a player is triple teamed. Coaching

Dude, she just makes freshman mistakes.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Deal wasn't up for it in the 1st half.
Nerves? Pressure?

Probably both plus she had one of the best wing defenders in the conference on her

 

[Iowameat]

Well girls bring it in the second half. It’s bedtime for me 3am comes early for work.

 

[HIWILLE]

Who missed the layup at the buzzer

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

Deal wasn't up for it in the 1st half.
Nerves? Pressure?

Whatever it was, she needs to figure it out. Freshman or not, that was pathetic effort.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Deal wasn't up for it in the 1st half.
Nerves? Pressure?

She's a freshman in a big road game. Not totally unexpected.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

I gather that was Taylor Stremlow’s dad they showed going crazy after her 2nd or 3rd 3 ball. Great to see.

 

[Franisdaman]

Down 18 at one point.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

Who missed the layup at the buzzer

Mallegni

 

[Manfredi]

Dude, she just makes freshman mistakes.

so she's not coached to throw it into triple teams?...who knew

 

[Jonesy5960]

KF needs to start playing like a senior this coming half. Three really bad turnovers in the first half.

 

[Franisdaman]

Dang. Still nice job digging out of that hole.

Did not look good down 18

 

[2212hawk2]

Who missed the layup at the buzzer

Mallegni. She got some good minutes during that run. Played hard on both ends.

 

[Buffalo43]

Alright, back in it at half.

Stremlow, Houston, Kylie with a nice half.

Journey had her own pace very not sped up

 

[Buffalo43]

Journey had her own pace very not sped up

Might be her game tonight

 

[HIWILLE]

Stop with the Deal ********! Bull crap

 

[Anon1750875978]

Steulke...LOL

Grab a seat next to Jada, the Tik Tok queen.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Journey had her own pace very not sped up

She doesn't play like a freshman. Very composed.

 

[scotihawk]

Who missed the layup at the buzzer

Mallegni...

 

[airhawk]

Rodriguez travel with the team?

 

[Randon]

Hannah - 6 minutes, 2 points, 0 rebounds, 2 fouls.

 

[oldhawk56]

Probably both plus she had one of the best wing defenders in the conference on her

So why was she bringing the ball up?

 

[Franisdaman]

Hannah - 6 minutes, 2 points, 0 rebounds, 2 fouls.

gonna have to pick things up to win the Naismith Player of the Week again

 

[Jonesy5960]

Stop with the Deal ********! Bull crap

What?

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa fans aren't happy

USC fans won't be happy if they blow this game after leading by 18

Fans are never happy LOL

 

[Franisdaman]

This feels like the longest halftime ever

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Solidly removed head from butt cheeks after midway through the second.

Let's see if we keep it there or make like an ostrich.

 

[Jonesy5960]

I wish Stremlow was starting the second half.
