*****Iowa vs UConn Game Thread****
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
officiating was really bad as Ava was hammered the whole game no fouls on uconn
yeah, starting to wonder if she can improve substantially, but still early in her career. She has improved over last year.
agreed, bad timing to play uconn at home and a loss prior game
They had great ball movement, which helped create a good deal of offense for them. Our ball movement and off ball movement was sluggish at times.
I've seen no improvement, actually thought she was better last year
Our new star guard hasn't shot well since the season started
They already signed Hartwell the 6'5" girl from SCarolina. I can guarantee you they aren't going after a center in the portal. As for your first statement, typical. "If Jan is still here next season". She's not going anywhere, andwe'll be fine. Everyone new they weren't ready this early in the season for a road game against UConn and learning a new offense.
All of UConns players are considerably taller then Iowa's. They have Strong and Q playing against our guards.
Try being a fan, just one day. We knew this was coming, probably worse than this. Do piss away the whole season though after today. maybe do us a favor and you and Anon, just give up now and stay off the forum since you don't care and hate Jan and most of the players.
I'm sure the usual suspects will give them zero credit for keeping after it. We cut it to ten and Geno had to put Strong back in the game when he had pulled her. They showed a LOT of heart in the 4th Q......
2 former Iowa players combined for 36 pts today for Wisky. Would be nice…
Agree. Still this forums a lot like the football one. A bad game against a top 5 team, (like OSU) and the usual "fans" on here acting like the seasons over. Everybody knew we'd probably lose to OSU, and UConn. Hell Chad on his podcast said he expected us to lose between 30 and the 50 we lost to UCLA last year b ecause with the new offense, we weren't ready this early for a game like this on the road.
I thought overall she'd handled herself pretty well. Unfortunately strong was out of her mind for a stretch.
Really? Then why did Geno put Strong back in the game the last 4 minutes when he'd pulled her and she was in her sweats on the sideline.
Do you have a pre determined list of excuses or are you ad libbing?
Jensen isn't ready for the big stage.
Good assts aren't automatically good HCs.
Because she had 3 fouls and only played about 8 minutes in the first half. Exactly what happened to Ava in this game. Had a LOT to do with the outcome.
Well for one thing we didn't get the whistle at Uconn that Michigan probably did....
Well, you should know. And don't come back with you really care either. Anyone who wants can look at your posting history
Lolol... Playing who?
As you well know, there was no coaching search to replace Bluder.
If there had been one and three weeks later JJ is named...I'm ok with it.
That never happened.
Here we are..drubbed again by a good team.
Both these players would have seen 5 minutes or less today! Most irrelevant post of the day! Did Wisconsin play UConn too?
Me? Dude there is NO one here, (except your buddy) that thinks you give a damn about any of our teams. EVERY single post on the basketball or football forum, (especially this one) is negative. To be posting this same nonsense in the third game of the year with 6 out of nine players new to the team is ridiculous.
FYI. #12 North Carolina playing S Carolina on a NUETRAL floor down 66-30 in the 4th Q. Maybe they should fire their coach, and she signed top 5 player Harpring who's struggling against a top team. Maybe there's a REAL talent gap between S Carolina and Uconn, and everybody else. Unless you have a CC22 type player.
You would be the local expert on nothing because you demonstrate that in every Iowa WBB thread. same old same old..................
Nobody really cares if you're ok with it regarding anything to do with Iowa WBB, but you don't seem to understand that. Shocking!
Update. #12 N Carolina falls on a NEUTRAL court to #1 S Carolina 84-39. 45 point loss by a top 12 team. Top recruit Katie Harpring with 8 points and 2 assists. You think MAYBE there's too big of a talent gap from the top 5 or 6 teams and everyone else?
for the "Jan (the fastest women's coach to 50 victories in Iowa history)should not have been elevated to HC" crowd. Who you got? Dawn Staley? Geno? I guess it was up to Beth, and she's going to ride with Jan, so there we are.

S.Carolina was suffocating on defense, They really got after Harpring, 3-16 shooting and 6 turnovers.
Ok, maybe I’m a little bias toward coaches after being in the business for 56 years but I get real sick and tired of this coach out coached some coach every time a team loses. I think today it was a matter of their two stars showing up big time and our two stars showing up for about 20 minutes. I’m not upset with anyone. If we are fortunate enough to play them again maybe it will be the other way around. Nobody tried to play poorly or coach poorly. It’s sports. Let’s move on to the next game.
UNC should fire Jan.
So Michigan beats uconn by about the same margin Iowa loses to uconn. Michigan was at home, Iowa on the road. What do we draw the the transitive property here. Michigan and Iowa about even?
