*****FDU vs Iowa NCAAT Game Thread*****

What an absolute atrocious first half by Iowa. Terrible shooting, turnovers. Deal is throwing up junk.

Someone on this forum said she was a 5*
out of high school.

I don’t get it. We were scoring at will inside and then switched Ava and Hannah's roles. I love this team and think they can be really good but when they play this way, they look like really unintelligent basketball team. Everything is scripted they stare down passes. We need to run them off the 3 point line and we should not shoot a 3 the rest of the night. We play this way against Virgina and we lose by 15+.

I’m not sure Iowas offense can generate a lot. Gonna have to clamp down on D and force drives.

 

[MFinn]

Why does it look like Jan prepared all week for Georgia?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Why hate players?

Its the one constant on here by some posters. Obviously we have a systematic problem with this offense when teams bottle Ava up in the post. Jan? What's to be done?

 

[Anon1750875978]

HS gets the ball 6' from the hoop..with her back to the basket...and doesn't know what to do.

 

[sdredhawk1]

First half distribution of minutes was baffling. Stremlow needs to be on court and Houston needs more minutes. They are the sparks that make things go when we get bogged down.

it’s a good question. Not sure.

 

[Phat Stax]

I still think Iowa wins this by 20.

 

[citizenHawk1]

Just sleepy, hot, rusty. No emotion. Better start fighting, and better quit being indecisive. Quit waiting to make every pass, waiting to drive, waiting to shoot. They let them have confidence, and now it's going to be a dogfight.

 

[HawksRule25]

Good start to 2nd half.

 

[QChawks]

What a stupid pass

10 turnovers

 

[Anon1681859870]

Cmon ladies. Shut these people's agenda down!

I didn't know Iowa ever had a 15 point lead.

 

[HawksRule25]

And back up 9 .... the roller coaster continues.

 

[Franisdaman]

I hope no one suffers heat exhaustion or heat stroke from those horrible conditions inside Carver!!!

 

[ajdl]

Wait, it’s legal to call timeout when the other team goes on a run??

 

[IowaCityLit]

How the game stated. Transition offense. Push tempo. Keep FD from setting up in half court D. Cause Iowas offense in the half court is abysmal and one dimensional. And just awful passing

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

So we run them off the line and get all inside shots minus the chit chat pull-up. Strange.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That start to the 2nd half tells you it was 100% lack of focus.

And why let that sh*t play go one for the ENTIRE 2nd quarter.

You'll get BURNED by good teams doing that sh*t

 

[Hawk48]

Does Jensen teach the mantra take care of the ball? Evidently not IMO

 

[Anon1750875978]

All of us "keyboard warriors", who apparently don't know jack shiit about basketball, screamed the entire 1st half to get Ava more touches.

Did JJ finally read our posts????

Cause there was absolutely no reason for Jensen to go away from what was working in the first 8 minutes of the game.

dont think she has hit the rim yet

I'm here and I am close.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

STOP SHOOTING JUMPERS!

 

[IowaCityLit]

What is up with Stremlow?

 

[Amahawk]

Houston in for Ava?

 

[HawksRule25]

More than halfway through 3rd quarter and FDU has not scored in this quarter yet.

 

[WDSMHawk]

Houston in for Ava?

Ava is gassed

 

[Anon1750875978]

Why hate players?

No one hates players, just an observation of someone playing poorly and getting too many minutes.

 

[Franisdaman]

What is up with Stremlow?

heat stroke

 

[Randon]

Time for some scoring from our guards - come on CC!

 

[Franisdaman]

More than halfway through 3rd quarter and FDU has not scored in this quarter yet.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Mr. Announcer...

It was 2 straight trips to the title game. Not just final 4

 

[ajdl]

We can’t score without AH in the game

 

[hawkeyewx]

FDU has scored 9 points total in the last two quarters and Iowa is only up 9.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Back to terrible basketball again...

 

[ajdl]

We deserve to lose. This is brutal to watch. I don’t know what is wrong with them. But they aren’t ready to play today.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

The passing is just……

Beyond poor. I don’t get it.

 

[hawkeyewx]

After almost three quarters, Iowa has 35 points. That's unbelievable.

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Why have we stopped dishing to the low post and looking to score from there. We have a massive size advantage. WTF are we doing?
