Well. -3 from Q1 to Q2. Ava just a little off (but clearly leading the team) as is the whole offense. The press break started dreadful. Way too many turnovers. Way too many missed shots inside. We forced 4 fouls in about 4 minutes and they never got another othet than the and 1. Need to find ways to get the ball inside.
Hawks need to toughen up. Refs are letting Michigan put a lot of hands on them. Need to figure out how they play through it.
Everyone knows the foul calling will change in the 2nd half.
Which team? we'll see.
Yes, could have been worse. I like the occasional hero ball by them forcing shots when they're not there and when help isn't nearby.
Hard to simulate pressure like this when you don't have the athletes to do it.
She does have 5 points on 2-4 shooting, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in 16 minutes.
This is more than pressure. This is very physical and the refs are allowing it.
They usually practice against guys. I'd like to think they can find enough guys at the University to play pressure defense in practice.
As popular as Iowa women's basketball is, I assume there's a line out the door of guys wanting to be on the practice squad.
The 3 turnovers and shakiness overall with the ball has been an issue. But I like her being aggressive. Our perimeter players need to be more aggressive. If they’re not good enough so be it. But you can’t expect Ava and HS to completely carry the team. Why I love Wright being aggressive..
I know they do but the guys they get are not that great. They have to get players that will still allow the girls to be successful. If not, their confidence would be horrible.
Gonna have to play through contact. Not calling fouls on the Michigan guards today.
Try Houston again. Someone willing to hit the wide open 15 ft shot they are giving us every possession.
That time of year where talent wins. Get Houston and Deal in the game.
