*****Virginia vs Iowa NCAAT Game Thread*****

[BringBackBradBanks]

Somebody told me yesterday that Hannah is our best rebounder, passer, and scorer. What are we all worried about?!?

 

[Jonesy5960]

Jensen is in over her head!

Any other questions?????

Everybody drink!

 

[DTP2]

Should shoot better than this from other three point line.

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Defense not much better. Second game in a row the other team is showing twice as much energy and hustle on defense as we are.

 

[Hawk48]

this team has no clue what the **** they are doing. Jensen has really got them ready to play.

Nobody said she was the best passer or scorer.

Was great until JJ went and stayed into zone. Just dumb.

 

[Franisdaman]

it's so hard to be a hawkeye fan

the men shock the world last night and the women forget how to play basketball

 

[QChawks]

we might not score 50 points folks

what an awful tournament performance by this group

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

It appears the mental exercises that Jan tried didn't do anything.

Playing scared right now.

 

[Hawkeye54545]

If you have only watched the last 10 quarters of this team play you would think they are a below .500 team. Hopefully they can turn it around but the lack of outside shooting is killing this team.

Yep...no capable backup to Ava and she's had 2 months to cover for McCabe.

More of an offense talent issue and some dreadful coaching

 

[Hawk48]

Jensen is in over her head!

Any other questions?????

It does not appear she can think on her feet. The game plan is the game plan, period.

they are completely broken mentally

just lost

 

[pablow]

Zone. Just awful coaching decision. I know with Ava in foul trouble but just too little resistance and can’t rebound out of it.

I can't believe Jan is playing a zone. I thought she's learn from the UCLA game.

 

[Phat Stax]

 

[Hawkangler]

Isn't this a "play-in" team we're playing??

A very tall play-in team. Hayes isn't quick enough against their bigs and Houston isn't tall enough.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

This is comically bad.

 

[Jonesy5960]

That was just a brutal offensive half.

 

[QChawks]

it doesn't matter who we play right now

FDU....Virginia....we are AWFUL

10-32 shooting
1-12 three

 

[DTP2]

Where the hell is 4th quarter Iowa vs Michigan? Three brutal games in a row.

 

[Jonesy5960]

A very tall play-in team. Hayes isn't quick enough against their bigs and Houston isn't tall enough.

Houston was very effective when she was in there.

 

[Whtnhawk]

Got Ava to half with just the 2.

 

[Hawk48]

Nobody said she was the best passer or scorer.

yes they did.

 

[Franisdaman]

someone needs to tell the hotel that the Virginia HC stole the window curtain

 

[Jonesy5960]

yes they did.

Dumb.

 

[QChawks]

Where the hell is 4th quarter Iowa vs Michigan? Three brutal games in a row.

the good news with it being in the middle of the day no one can watch this mess

 

[hawkeyewx]

Virginia has 28 points at halftime, so the defense is good enough to win easily. I don't know how the offense got so bad.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Do we have the personal to go 4 out 1 in on offense? Journey in for Hannah?

The lane is completely clogged up. No room for Ava to work.

Obviously the ZERO 3 point threat is killing that too. But 2 posts in the lane AND guards digging down.... Just no room to work inside

 

[Hawk48]

This is comically bad.

yeah, if this is the best they have then cannot wait for it to end.

 

[QChawks]

Virginia has 28 points at halftime, so the defense is more than good enough to win easily. I don't know how the offense got so bad.

we are a wounded animal

Kirkwood CC would shut down the hawks right now

 

[hawkeyewx]

2-25 from three now in the tourney. It's hard to shoot that poorly.

 

[im4hawks50595]

With as bad as the three shooting is not sure why Levin hasnt got a chance for some minutes to see of she can hit one

I like Heiden and Houston together. Houston's midrange can stretch the post.

 

[Anon1750875978]

As I've pointed out before, good assistant coaches don't automatically make good head coaches.

The monumental loss to UCLA apparently affected JJ more than the players.

Today puts to rest any remote chance of getting even close to the Elite 8.

This is shockingly bad so far.
And Virginia isn't even a good team.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Zone was/is always a horrible idea with this team. Always results in a string of defensive lapses.

 

[BringBackBradBanks]

yes they did.

They absolutely did.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Absolutely. With Hannah, the defense just camps in the lane.

Ava's great, but not against 2 tall defenders AND a guard clogging the lane

^^^^
Agree, 100%
It's meant to protect Ava, but now Ava is afraid to pick up an offensive foul.
