Do these refs know that you’re allowed to not call a foul every possession?
How do you miss that travel? 2 points gifted to Michigan
Held Michigan to 8 points in the second quarter
Michigan averaging nearly 90 ppg held to 20 first half points. Fantastic defensive half.
13 IOWA turnovers in the first 20 minutes
Iowa is turning the ball over 36% of the time

help defense and overall defense has been intense and effective. The offense on the other hand needs some adjustments IMO. Just need to settle down and run the offense and not force it. JMO
Yah, if the Iowa offense is ugly, what do you call Michigan's, the team the announcers are pumping as a #1 seed and national title contender?
No such thing as perfect but anything other than poor would be a plus.
And ya know what that's worth?IOWA got blown out by UCLA & UConn.
Michigan did much better against both.

I guess Iowa doesn't realize how awesome Michigan is.
Exactly. Michigan's offense has been way worse. Holding the #6 team in the country to 20 points in a half. Some might say that's sorta good.
AD has provided some good minutes as well. Overall, bench has been pretty good IMO
Michigan has 16 so there!
And each one is WAY better than forcing a pass into a packed lane, cuz every shot has a chance to go in, but no one ever scored on a pass . . .
1st Half MVP = Feuerbach. Shutdown defense (Olson 2-7 & 2 TOs), key steals, clutch 3pt bucket.
That was an egregiously ridiculous call. That guy is no better in college than he is in the WNBA. No ref should EVER miss a call like that. Textbook block out by the smallest girl on the court, forces Michigan to go over the back, and Iowa gets the foul. I mean that's just criminal BS.
Amazing D and overall fight and aggressiveness.
Gonna be hard to keep that up, I think, and to score enough points. Need AH to avoid foul trouble and hit some 3s in the 2nd half.

Didn't see the play, so it just depends on when she engaged in the box out. I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt and assume that she was boxing out the defender before they left their feet.
So what? No. 6 Michigan is losing by 7 and only scored 20 points in the entire freakin' half, and it would have been even less except for the pitiful officiating.
The big number is points off turnovers. Iowa leads 11-2.
And Iowa was fouled on every one, but not one foul was called. I think you forgot to mention that . . .
Take a look. I think you'll find it was just as poor a call as we who did actually see it have said it was.
You are fine that our turnover problem continues; no biggie, you say. Interesting.
Again, in this game, IOWA has 13 turnovers in the first 20 minutes (what you should have in 40 minutes) and is turning the ball over 36% of the time.
Pretty floater by Levin.
