*****Iowa vs Nebraska Game Thread*****

[Jonesy5960]

If she doesn't feel the love she is gonna hit the portal, she can get some significant coin on the open market.

No she wouldn't. Her future might end up being great but she hasn't shown anyone that she should command a lot of value today. Again, this isn't football or men's basketball. You don't see a bunch of women pulling down 6 figure deals. Certainly not players like Addie.

 

[NORTHSTAR]

You really comparing CC to KF????

Dat der is sum funi shiit.

The poster was making a point but surprisingly if flew right over your head, probably because all you think about are ways to criticize. You were stumped. lol

I joined the forum as I lover the Hawkeyes ladies program, and now the men with Ben, and also because I really like to know what’s going on with recruiting. I’ve enjoyed a lot of the postings but I’m amazed at how many apparently negative and unhappy people “support” the program. We had a good win today and we see more complaining than we do positives. We had a great first half and for real basketball followers it was pretty certain Nebraska would make a run. Basketball is a game of runs. They did and “over her head” Jan made the move of the game calling a time out that drastically changed the momentum back in the Hawkeyes favor. My belief is in celebrating, not trashing coaches and players after the fact. I always remind my self “basketball is not a game of perfect”. I love our team, warts and all.

Many fans live game to game vs the season as a whole. Also many don’t have the patience to let young players develop and seem to want to write off their future during their freshman season. Some adapt quickly, Some don’t, Way too early to write off Addie and Layla IMO.

Getting a "5" in the portal is becoming increasingly necessary.

So you would have something or someone else, if you didn't have enough to b**** about already?

You aren’t going to find a proven center that wants to sit behind a potential All-American and play 10 minutes a game.

 

[Conn53victor]

As marvelous as the Clark years were, I think this team is more fun. I just like them as a team.

 

[pablow]

This constant banging on Layla and Addie is irratating. We look great beating NB on the road and we have posters bitching about freshmen experiencing predictable growing pains adjusting to the upper level of D1 basketball.

Give them time for God's sake.

 

[pablow]

Oh, BTW, Chat and Ava are looking like the recruiting steals of the decade. Quit bitching, the team is going places.

All I'm saying is Hays has a VERY long ways to go.

Not as big as deal if Ava stays out of foul trouble, but it's been an issue and next year there is no one like HS and help with the "5".

It makes sense that these losers would continually rag on the young players. These are guys that refuse to grow up, self evaluate and make positive changes. No wonder they don't understand how these young athletes will improve.

Shes only a freshman and has 3 more years. Our head coach is literally nicknamed "The Post Whisperer"

 

[CRHAWK]

Recruiting highly rated players and then losing them to the portal is not a recipe for success.

Good thing she hasn't left for the portal (and won't)

Game threads are consistently populated with hyper-critical overreactions and idiotic posters like Anon978 is the reason I usually stay away from them.

 

[ChiefRhoads]

I was only half paying attention to what the announcers were saying. I believe it was in the third quarter they started talking about someone that was injured and would be going for a medical redshirt as nothing is more important than to get healthy. I did not catch who they were talking about or even which team they were referencing. Were they talking about Emely or someone else and if I misheard them does anyone remember what they actually said?

I think they were talking about a player on another team.

Next season doesn’t tip off for ~265 days. She can and will improve over that time.

I kind of like having him around. He makes me sound super positive all the time.

You are absolutely correct, even good posters on here get negative funks from time to time, but some posters here are just “ I know it alls” or social media addicts who can’t identify with being happy!

Oh cmon man. She’s way too positive and claps all the time. It’s time she tosses a chair on the court to keep some guys on here happy to show she can chew some ***.

He went on ignore a long time ago. I only go to game threads after games, keeps the BP down!

 

[HIWILLE]

Oughta check that dude out on the off topic board. Pisss and moan and moan and pisss.

He does it on every board. He’s fvcking sickening. Bitches and complains and bitches and complains about every freaking thing he don’t like.

Wolizco says hi. Number 6th ranked player in the country coming in. She'll make everyone forget about Hannah, unfortunately.

 

[Anon1751457816]

Good job by Jan and crew keeping these ladies focused after a tough three game stretch.

I don’t know about making everyone forget about Hannah but I do think she can duplicate how Iowa uses Hannah at the 5 at times, Because of need she has played a lot of 5 in high school, She has also been used at times at the 5 on National teams. It won’t be a foreign concept to her.

 

[Hawkangler]

Dude just stop

Fuerebach played a great defensive game on Prince. Defense requires tremendous effort and heart. Nice game Kylie!

 

[Hawkangler]

Houston has been the most consistent of the freshmen. Deal had several 20 point games and is a strong passer, a lot of potential. Haues needs to work on her footwork and quickness. I see all three making a lot of improvement down the stretch and into next year.

Just look at Heiden and Stremlow, huge improvement.

So did Monica, as well as Holmes at Indiana when they were freshmen. She prepped in Alaska with limited competition. Let her play another couple of years dude.

What a stupid comment.

 

[Hendy Hawk]

So you watched the game and thought she didn't play well and then looked at the box score and thought she did? Lol. She was very good today.

Yep

 

[Matt1nb7]

Jan needs to learn rotations.

Play the players that you know will have a good game.

Never play the players you know will play poorly.

 

[Hawk14]

I have coached for a lot of years and could have been way more successful if I would have had this skill

 

[AFM22]

Didn't Iowa win that game? That was the BTT?

 

[QChawks]

yup, Nebby loves to dance and LOSE to Iowa

 

[Anon1750875978]

Most impressive thing was that early barrage in the 1st quarter took the home crowd out of the game instantaneously.

 

[LewB12]

To the Jan bashers, before the season started you would have thought it would take a genius to get us to 20 & 5 at this point. Love this team and like the way Jan interacts with them and the media. At least compared to some.

 

[The Big Z]

Love Houston’s demeanor on the floor. Always very calm and under control. She is going to be (and already is) a very good player for many years. And I like how she can hit that mid range shot. Tough on the boards for her size as well.
