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.
I hope the Hawkeyes make it hell for Betts tomorrow. And UCLA was fortunate to beat Ohio State by 10 today. Had OSU not gone hero ball the last 4 minutes, they would have had a great shot at the upset.

Well, on the Michigan side anyway. That's the thing: the refs let one team play rugby but make the other team (Iowa) play basketball.
That’s not true at all. We played every bit as physical as Michigan. Feurbach was everywhere, Chit Chat was actually great on ad as well and of course Stuelke was physically dominant on the defensive end.

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
Well they got to the Final 4 last year and probably will again. Good chance of making the Finals but they’re not good enough offensively to beat UConn.

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.
I think we have 2 things going for us: 1. Hawks aren’t traveling to the west coast, 2. They aren’t playing their first game after losing a starter to a season ending injury.

Maybe Iowa loses by 23 again, but I am really doubting it. Hoping Iowa overcomes the odds tomorrow.

Knock it off
I will when the psychos stop murdering people on the streets and killing Americans and others in made-up, illegal wars, protecting pedos, and all the other unconstitutional, illegal, insane bullshitt that's going on. Or maybe just wait for Armageddon and the end of the world . . . yah, that's what all you freakin' hypocrites are goin' for, right?

I remember last offseason when we kept getting passed up by all these big names in the portal, and then brought in Chit Chat and didn’t have much info besides some tape.

Man, that could not have been a better fit for Jan and the team. I wouldn’t trade her for anyone.
OK, but can we talk about EmRod for a minute?

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.

How would you give her a T after the Michigan player is barking at the refs for getting her 5th foul.
Agree, if the ref doesn’t call it, it’s not a foul, I think #15 for M got away with 4-5 uncalled. Don’t care for her game or Michigan game plan. All predicated on they can’t call everything!

Taylor is rally bad with pressure. Bad.,
Can't be. Say it ain't so. The narrative here is its just Deal who forces bad feeds in the post. Lolololol.. Obviously people go for a bathroom break everytime Kylie passes the ball or drives the lane........

Michigan is not as talented and got ran off the court against us last game. So, their strategy today is ugly it up and the officials allow it.
Love our girls and the grit they play with, but did you REALLY just say they're not as talented as we are? Wow.

You literally had 22 posts in a 30 minute period, the last was full blown psycho political ******** on a womens basketball board.

Such a satisfying win. Michigan lacks talent and just mauls people on defense and gets away with it.

Amazing posts today. Olsen and Swords would start for most B1G teams ( and certainly for Iowa). Some serious black and gold glasses out there today....

A poster in the lounge said in yesterdays Michigan game one of the officials went up to the Michigan coach and said Sofikanich is a psycho.
I think with about a minute and a half left they zoomed in on her and her girls huddled up and you could read her lips say "we got this". 😆 You "got" sh$t stomped in the 4th quarter. 😆

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.

I've seen multiple games where players were T'd up for exactly that. The refs ignore most of the barking. That's pretty obvious, or we'd all have players ejected constantly. Clark would never have made it through a game.

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.

For whatever complaints we might have Jans emphasis on defense has made a major impact on this young group.

I have a feeling that the book has not yet closed on Emely. She's absolutely locked-in on the bench. I think she finally started reading the room.
Again I say that I know nothing for certain but I too saw Erod on the bench and at end of the game today too and her countenance could not be more enthusiastic and supportive of her teammates.

If she is going to portal out...she appears to be thoroughly enjoying herself for time being. I guess time will tell.

From top to bottom. Obviously they have talent being a top 5 record in the Big Ten. But it's their style of play that allows them to win, not their talent.

JJ is an exceptional post player coach. After that…I just don’t know. Team seems completely lost if they can’t get it into the post. Like they have no other offense. Not good.,

Besides chitchat, our guards just can’t compete at this level

She’s really bad as a ball handler in full court.,Surprised more teams don’t try and exploit it.

Jan really needs to get another ball handler in the portal

Stremelow stuggle bus today

Gotta be stronger at the 1, 2, and 3
Taylor does many things well, However her lack of quickness/foot speed is really being exploited by Michigan.
Taylor is rally bad with pressure. Bad.,
That time of year where talent wins. Get Houston and Deal in the game.
You guys are just really really bad at judging talent and effectiveness. Stremlow and Chit-chat were awesome on both ends of the floor against a great team today, and have proven they can play against anyone in the country, and are a huge reason why Iowa is having an unbelievable season.

I'm not sure what to say to someone who's watched all of these games and still believes Addie has more talent than Stremlow and needs more minutes. It's beyond my comprehension.
