So off base. Try to remember Kate and Gabbie as fresh/soph. They were probably not even as good as Strem/Deal are right now. You can't compare junior/senior Kate to where she was in her first two years. This is still a very young team (that won 25 games in the best conf) and played today against a team with 6 seniors who will be playing pro ball. Then they go out and get Kneepkins who was an AA at Utah last year, (Iowa tried hard to recruit her when she hit the portal).

Bad loss but flush it and get ready for the tourney.
Bruins are legit. Length and athletic to boot.
Hawks will be fine once they hit home court.
still think they can get the E8.

When most of them are juniors and seniors, you know like the team we just played.
At least one of those was a hack on the arm, but the refs have given up worrying about fouls at this point.
Lolol.. like it matters. At least she's doing something, and shes not afraid to take those shots and to ATTEMPT to do something.
Man, has the Iowa women's team ever been beaten that badly? Just a terrible day for them. The sun will rise tomorrow though. And with a #2 seed in the tourney, a nice tournament run is certainly attainable.
Worse then 75% of Kylies three point attempts? Clearly you don't watch much Iowa basketball....
Rutgers is the worst team in the conference. They finished 1-17.
They kept it within 40.

And you guys pick today when she was what the third leading scorer with 11 points while our two senior leaders had TWO points between them, but once again lets all get on the dump on Addie Deal train. Good Lord......
Your an idiot.....Deal will be an all B1G player in the next two years....
I had been saying for years that most all of our starters on the men’s team (in past years) would never even sniff the floor at program like Illinois….it can be done though (see 1980’s).
Yes, the shots he’s talking about were definitely worse. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Kylie miss a shot 5’ left of the rim.
Didn't mean to sound like I was picking on anyone. I was just saying the 2 rushed shots were thuds off the backboard.
NO ONE shot well today.
There were 44 thuds (missed shots).
IOWA Shooting:
......5-23 (22%) from three
12-38 (32%) from inside the arc
................................................................
17-61 (28%) Overall Shooting
.........6-8 (75%) FTs
................................................................
...........45 points

Do you think that UCLA was playing that game with the same ferver they did today? Ever heard of the snowball effect?Rutgers is the worst team in the conference. They finished 1-17.

Looking back, a last second shot to win for Michigan wouldn't have been all bad yesterday
Lolol.. I've seen Kylie throw a three all the way over the basket dozens of times. I'm not sure what you,ve been watching. And again Deal scores 11, hits three three's while our 6th year senior scores 2 points and plays like A-- on offense all game, and its the "damn, did you see how bad deal missed those two shots with the clock expiring and everyone else afraid to even shoot the ball"? This site is so predictable if not entertaining.....
Yep 5 for 23 from three and Deal was what 3 for 5, and once again WHO are we talking about? You guessed it.....
*You’re
You’re a weird dude. Peace
And once again, DON'T care. Don't waste your time being the keyboard police. It matters not.....
Weird because its gotten SO out of hand here, whatever this whole thing is with Deal? As Fran pointed out we go 5 for 23 from three, Deal goes 3 for 5 or 6. That means the rest of the team was 2 for 18!!! And yet we aren't talking about the crap shots of Kylie who scored 2 points, (or her multiple TO's), Stremlow who I think made one shot, or Hannah who was a total non factor, its the Deal thing again....You’re a weird dude. Peace

Yeah. Deal probably had as good a game as anyone today. One of the few relatively bright spots in an otherwise abysmal performance.
Thanks for that. I mean CCW did what she could, but the rest of our backcourt had as bad of a game collectively as I've ever seen.
An epic disaster! The top four or five teams are way out of Iowas league.
So you’re saying she doesn’t have a lot to improve on? Her game is already where it needs to be?
Coming off the kind of fame Clark brought to the Iowa WBB program, if Beth didn’t interview outside coaches….huge mistake.
Worst overall loss in Iowa women's basketball history: 61 points (114-53 defeat at Texas on December 4, 1978).
Worst B1G loss: 56 points (93-37 defeat vs Indiana during the 1974-75 season).

It wasn't just the backcourt that was terrible. Look at Hannah's line. 0 points on 0-4, just 3 rebounds and zero assists with 2 turnovers. I guess she at least has a sore elbow to blame it on. I don't know what's happening with Kylie. She's playing hard on defense and was never a scorer, but she used to make good decisions and took care of the ball. She has 3 assists against 10 turnovers in the last 3 games. Too often the offense dies when the ball hits her hands.
FFS people, flush this one and move on. UCLA is a horrible matchup for us, add in horrible 28% shooting from the field is the recipe for what we saw today. Particularly with UCLA shooting 50% from 3.
