*****Minnesota vs Iowa Game Thread*****

Is it possible to have a collective negative basketball IQ??

You're watching it, so there's proof

 

[Manfredi]

Yeah it doesn’t matter how well they played the refs aren’t gonna let us win this game

Not the best called game for sure but the refs didn't cost us this game...at all.

KF played 35 minutes...and didn't score.
I believe every one of her shots was a wide open look.

But she did contribute to the turnover tally.

That's one of the seniors JJ trusts.

The Gophers' 8 year losing streak to IOWA ends tonight.

Probably the worst home loss in the last five years, at least.

 

[PinkLockerRoom]

Man we have absolutely sucked since McCabe has been out. Who knew how valuable she was.

 

[Randon]

Our starting 2 guard has now gone 58 minutes without scoring a point.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[QChawks]

Our starting 2 guard has now gone 58 minutes without scoring a point.

That’s actually kind of impressive

 

[Denmar]

It’s hard enough watching the women’s game then throw in officials that really don’t have a clue how to officiate, making it damn near unbearable.

 

[Anon1750875978]

The only positive tonite is JJ figured out that Maĺlegni isn't gonna contribute this year.

Spare me the holier than thou crap. Every time we got it to 10 the refs manufactured a momentum changing call.

Now we cut it to 8 but it doesn’t matter because 2 starters are fouled out. It is what it is.

Yup. It’s all pretty sad.

 

[QCHawkeye]

Told you all Jan

I’m starting to wonder if she’s in over her head. She doesn’t seem to understand the type of players her offense requires. You can’t force a triangle offense on a team with subpar guard play. Schemes have to be built around the personnel you actually have.

That blowout to Oklahoma last year showed a lot.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

JJ needs to find a way to get Houston more minutes. Unfortunately, she’s the third option for the two 4 & 5 positions.

Holier than thou crap....wtf. You sound like a clone fan

 

[QCHawkeye]

Do you have any reason to say that other than being an IA native and former player?

She’s younger and Iowa is a better job (or was) at the time Lisa retired. People have said she wants to come back to Iowa.

 

[whynot?]

I tried to warn you guys

Minnesota looks like the better team

Yes, you warn us every game!

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Can't get hammered on the boards this bad by a team shooting this good and expect to win.

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

Just think if Iowa had a 2 guard that could get 5 ppg

 

[whynot?]

This game is over


Go read every game thread, dude

My predictions are really good

Once every season, god bless you!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

These guys suck at women's basketball.

And now we don't play defense, either, apparently.......

 

[Anon1750875978]

This late game rally just proves how fvcking stupid it was playing KF so long.
KF... 3 turnovers, 3 fouls, 0 points.
Start Houston and see what happens.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Lisa Bluder isn’t that great at in game analysis. She seems better at in studio it seems to me.

She's trying too hard to be neutral on the calls, talking about how good the refs are when you know she knows better.....

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

You're watching it, so there's proof

 

[Hawk48]

My confidence in JJ and her game management is also dropping like a rock, IMO she worries way too much about being liked by her players.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Refs basically ended the game on the Ava charge. Life on the road.

And she was up in the air when the girl slid under her. Worst call of the night..

 

[Manfredi]

Well probably a good thing we got a week off coming up

 

[Sett1997]

Houston and Kylie are both guards. I'm obviously not a bb coach. Why would Houston not be getting more minutes? Her stats and contributions are waaay above Kylie.

Den mother trying to be the big sister everyone looks up to.

Where are our head coach defenders after this disaster?

 

[Hawk2yaa]

Holier than thou crap....wtf. You sound like a clone fan

Sorry, didn’t realize we had big ref fans in the thread. Go officiating!! They never get it wrong!

Never gonna happen. Ever.

 

[o_Terrykohawk]

Minnesota better enjoy this season. Loaded with seniors. Karma might not be fun next year

 

[rpwinni0]

The Gophers' 8 year losing streak to IOWA ends tonight.

I think we have to give MN some credit for playing very well tonight.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Deal managed to foul out and only played 18 minutes.

That might be some kind of record.

Another crap call as well. Both players tangled up and we get the foul....

 

[whynot?]

The only positive tonite is JJ figured out that Maĺlegni isn't gonna contribute this year.

Yep, you are probably correct, if she plays her now, it just shows that she messed up. I really thought that she was ready after the roadtrip, I was wrong. Then again, what did Jan do right tonight?

 

[Manfredi]

Sorry, didn’t realize we had big ref fans in the thread. Go officiating!! They never get it wrong!

Refs definitely missed some calls but we were not good tonight either. Every game we lose it's the refs fault...better?
