Beat by 51 points, just wow and very disappointing to say the least. This was a litmus test and Iowa staff and team failed miserably. Iowa will need several upgrades in the future to actually compete for FF, but JMHO

- Start date
I think it carries over. I don’t see the Hawks winning more than 1 game in the nCAAt
Yeah, it’ll be tough to get it back up from that
I was really hoping they could keep it around 20 or 25
Not to fret - hopefully we'll get another shot at them in the NCAA's.
I said it before; this looked like a 16 seed vs a 1 seed in the 1st round of the NCAA Tournament
Flush it and get ready for tourney, Even after today I think the Hawks can win 2 or 3 games in the tourney.
Unless she greatly improves, Hays will never be worth much coming off the bench. Certainly not a starter.
Deal has to improve a ton
Wright is good but 5’4” ? That’s an issue.
Need to portal numerous players.
Only player who looked like she belonged on the court.
To you and Lit, go F yourselves. You are pathetic fans! I support our girls win or lose.
Of course, with CC Iowa did beat defending national champion South Carolina, a team on a 40-game winning streak, in the national semis a couple years ago. So "never" would be a bit hyperbolic, but your point is generally accurate.
Biggest concern for Iowa right now is to not let this massacre have a hangover effect into NCAA.
Working on TV is retirement compared to coaching college basketball in this era.
They'll get a couple of Home games and they'll be fine. Then get curb stomped by someone at some point.
That is how girls basketball works.
Just because you have the freedom to say this doesn’t make other people pathetic.
“If you don’t think how I think, you’re pathetic!”
Lol.
That's the upside to getting totally blown out; no need to worry about the officiating.
Elite 8 was always the ceiling.
Today didn't change anything.
Today didn't change anything.
Flat out embarrassing.

Sure, losing was likely, but getting embarrassed by over 50 points!? That was not on my Bingo card. I mean Ohio State only lost to UCLA by ten yesterday. This mismatch was an utter disaster in every conceivable way. But it's only one game. The NCAA will be a clean slate.
Well, CBS used to be a reputable organization. Not any more. And apparently they have never thought of giving their announcers the phonetic pronunciations of Iowa player names.
I don't know why we keep using the term "not athletic enough". That's simply not true. Heiden is plenty athletic. She's more athletic then Gus was as an AA. What she's not is 6'7" with a wingspan of someone who's almost 7". It has nothing to do with her not being "athletic enough".
Six losses. Three to UCLA and UCONN another to an undefeated ISU team that was at full strength.
You are more of an embarrassment to yourself than this game was for the program.
Elite 8 would be awesome.
That's what I'm saying or else why does Jan keep pulling her out of games for 5-6 minutes when she has one foul....
It's gotta be right up there with one of Lute Olson's first teams when they got beat by 50 or so @ Indiana in the Bobby Knight era.
Bad take.
Our defensive intensity against Illinois and Michigan was scary. That was entirely MIA today. WTF?
UCLA is not 51 points better than us. We earned this humiliation by sucking at basically every aspect of the game.
This is on us.
