That's it. Play with anger, Hawks.

Still getting after it after being so far down is a good sign.
CC has the hot hand and Carnegie wants to shoot every shot. Emily Rodriguez part 2
Uconn and illegal screens name a more iconic duo
Even with the lack of any rebounding and severe struggles on D...a decent game from 3 for Dani and we are right in it.
Hopefully the run helps their confidence moving forward.
Strong still in game. Geno’s a dick. Blow out a knee and that’s their season.
That was a nice little comeback.
Too bad Ava had to sit so much.
Chit-Chat was awesome.

I am not too disappointed. They need to clean things up.
Very proud of the ladies for staying focused when they were getting hosed in the first half. Hard playing 5 on 8 on the road. I believe we had an excellent growth game here!
Can Strong go ahead and declare for the WNBA draft, Jeesh she is good.
Ava simply has got to be on the floor, 4th quarter Ava and the version of Dani that made her first team all SEC would be quite beneficial.

Proud of them for fighting back in the 4th to make it a game again. Had Uconn not taken out Ava and CCW when they did we may have cut it to single digits.
If Carnegie hits just 3 of her 3pt shots, it's a 3pt. game? I mean, that's at least something for perspective. Sarah Strong was unstoppable. It's UConn. They just need to grow from it, and continue forward with the understanding they will have to go small if Heiden is fouling.
Flush it.
Flush it.
Unfortunately this was a welcome to the next level game for McKenna.
You could argue it was a sign of respect though that Strong made it a point of emphasis to go at and try to embarrass her today.
Meh Iowa was never really in this game, UCONN took a major nap and slept walked through the 4th quarter...sure was goof of Iowa to not give up but watching this game never felt like Iowa had a chance in hell of begin close enough to give UCONN any kind of a scare
Calm down and go back to the CC thread and scour it for anyone giving her too much praise for your liking.
And no, you're not allowed to do both things. Deal with it.
How so, Strong will carry that team. Up double digits with a minute left. Sit your best
Very encouraged by the comeback at the end to make it respectable. Hopefully they can build on it going forward.
Ava finished with 15 and played only half the game because of foul trouble. She has to be on the floor if Iowa has any chance against better teams. Nice comeback for Iowa in the 4th outscoring UConn by 9 points.
Most of the their team has been playing together for going on a third year. People on this board seem to forget that Chit-Chat, Ava and Strem are the only ones who have been playing together albeit a totally new offense. When this team becomes a more cohesive unit I believe they will be really good. I do have concerns with the 3 point shooting though.
I still think Iowa can beat Michigan probably be physical like last year. I think Michigan would of lost to UConn if they would of played in UConn house.
Nothing says sleepwalking like full court press and tight m2m defense 30 feet from the basket.
We didn't get the wide open looks UCONN did but outside of Dani we were 10-20 from 3.
Encouraging 4q. Mostly thanks to CC. Hawks have put alot on her shoulders the last 2 years. Need others to step up.
Michigan beat UConn by 11, Iowa lost by 12. I believe Ohio State plays UConn later this next week. I will be watching to see where we compare against the same competition.
Disagree, if they were napping, why did they have to take out 2 players, one was defenseless on a screen. Did you not think at the 3 minute mark of the first that the officials decided to take control. How bout McKenna blocking Strong 3 pointer only to get a foul called, then gets mugged on the rebound from behind, but ball oob’s 4 points there unearned?
Might not make a huge difference but both Michigan and OSU get them at home. Could be a better outcome at carver.
Michigan played a lot of zone vs UConn like Iowa did, UConn got a lot of clean looks against Michigan like they did against Iowa. UConn shot 41% from the field and 25% from 3 vs Michigan. Today those percentages were just a tad bit better.
Ya, Strong has like 14 points at Michigan and 39 todayMichigan played a lot of zone vs UConn like Iowa did, UConn got a lot of clean looks against Michigan like they did against Iowa. UConn shot 41% from the field and 25% from 3 vs Michigan. Today those percentages were just a tad bit better.
Ugh.. why didn’t we think of that?
