Stremlow has to have 8 turnovers.
Methinks Iowa blew its wad versus Michigan, not that they would have beat UCLA but better game

Addie having a nice game today.
If they are gonna turn it over this much then at least force the tempo.
women against girls
UConn versus UCLA will be a hell of a national championship

This is just setting up a miracle on ice type event when we beat them for national title after taking out UCONN and Texas. 
Had we been able to clean up a few things earlier we'd be right in this game.
This sounds harsh but it’s true. And sobering.
Wright and TS are backups on UCLa, USC, LSU, Texas, UCOnn. Maybe 9-10 off the bench.
JJ has to upgrade in the backcourt and wing positions to elevate the Hawks to the top tier.

Starting to think we won't be seeing Emely Rodriguez again.
Expected Iowa to keep it around a 20 point loss, not 40. Iowa playing bad and when you get beat by 40 it falls on coaching. Iowa has had an issue with turnovers all year, what’s Jan done to minimize the issue, absolutely ******* nothing. Keep forcing passes inside when the only thing there is a very small window with Ava being doubled. We have a team of guards with little basketball IQ and and big ball handling deficiencies.
Wow. This might be a game that carries over. JJ looks defeated ans team has to be losing confidence.,
Do you think any of their starting 5 make less than $75k, base salary of WNBA 1st year player?
I don’t.
Pulled four of their starters up 47 with 2:30 left.
Here the thing. UCLA UConn South Carolina and Texas are head and shoulders above above everyone else.
Iowa can’t compete with teams that have a 6’6” post of any girth. Hannah can’t play offense against anyone her height. We struggle to pass against long teams. The struggle to control the ball against athletic guards.
those teams have all those things and ucla has vets.

Deal has just put up two of the worst 3-point attempts I’ve seen.
It got worse.
51 point loss.
96-45
That has to rank up there in all time losses.

Iowa shouldn’t be given a 2 seed.
50-point loss is…I don’t even know. Sad.

First one was 5’ left. Second one was only 3’ left so it was an improvement.
Some will say this was a learning experience. As embarrassing and visible as to weaknesses this was, it may well leave a mark.
51?
Geesh. Embarrassing for Iowa, conference, NCAAW.
