I chuckled seeing that on the replay...but she really needs to not do that. That could have been a T and been a real problem.
Otherwise, what a win. Great 4th quarter for the Hawks! Congrats to them, that was fun to watch.

Strategery!! It worked to perfection.Their legs were more fresh than michigans at the end bc Jan sat them last night
Could have but would have been a much softer T than what Michigan was getting away with
Yeah. It epitomizes what makes her "different" as a freshman. She's not afraid of anything or anyone out there. I love her game and how she carries herself. This is a tough, tough group of ladies.
watching replays of the 2023 iowa team left me with the impression that this year’s team is more talented and better at 4 of 5 spots. chit chat is a difference maker.
How would you give her a T after the Michigan player is barking at the refs for getting her 5th foul.

First quarter was solid imo
I think this season has shown that the Iowa program is in good hands after Lisa retired and Jan may have a little more clout on the recruiting trail. I would imagine the uncertainty was used against Iowa during the previous recruiting cycle.
Regardless of what happens tomorrow, I still like to go back, point and laugh at Lauren Betts for spurning Iowa before Clark's senior year because she thought we were a "racist" school, and felt she had a better chance to win a national title at UCLA.
Alas, it was only the beginning of a mugfest by Michigan that the refs never did get under control.
It was truly fascinating how strict they called the offenses but how loosely they reffed the defenses. It’s no wonder why the score was so low.
Well, on the Michigan side anyway. That's the thing: the refs let one team play rugby but made the other team (Iowa) play basketball.

You mean all the uncalled fouling is affecting her shot. Yah, I bet it is.
That's what happens when you don't enforce basketball rules. You end up with whatever this was.
UCLA better enjoy this year. Of the 4 teams that were remaining in the Big 10 tourney, this is how many minutes were played today by players eligible to come back next year.
Michigan 171
Ohio St 157
Iowa 126
UCLA 12

"Defense"? Is that what they're calling thugery now?
A bit soon to have given up, as it turns out. And no way 11-19 Marquette men's team was beating #3 UConn (27-3) today, except they damn well did. You could look it up.

That's what happens when the refs turn a basketball game into a rugby match.
We have lost to uconn and ucla by 26 and 23 points. It will be good to play a team this good before the tournament regardless of what happens and we can see how much we have improved. Barring injury there is no downside to get this tough of a matchup.
Then you must be a basketball official.
Well, they were right. Iowa held them to 42. LOL
In two games against Iowa, Michigan has scored their season average of 86 points. Well done, Thugarines.
Four in the first quarter, six in the 4th. I'd say that's a pretty good way to start and to finish.
This team is better than they showed vs UConn and on the west coast trip. On any given day....
It sure as hell didn't hurt. Maybe you should give it up . . .Their legs were more fresh than michigans at the end bc Jan sat them last night
Then she's in line for an important role in the dictator's regime . . . maybe the new face of DHS.
I loved it. Houston is such a stoic, so that was especially awesome.
