*****Iowa va Iowa St Game Thread*****

[Bulldogs1974]

A consistent whistle is all you can ask for. What was called in the middle tonight was not that

 

[Amahawk]

Exactly!

 

[Sett1997]

That sucks. Crooks is singing now.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I don’t know what a foul is anymore after watching this game

Don't watch the WNBA then because they aren't gonna help you figure it out either........

 

[Denmar]

HS shooting 53% from the field this year on 99% of her shots from under the basket is pathetic. No post moves whatsoever. Her FT% is just as bad. Bring her off the bench and start Houston.

 

[QChawks]

Crooks is the best player in the country

It’s hard to believe after I watched her play in the state tournament a few years ago, thinking man if this girl lost a few pounds she’d be pretty good

 

[Randon]

Iowa let two players (Crooks & Brown) beat them. Why no double team on Crooks was mind-boggling.

 

[Franisdaman]

Foul?

 

[airhawk]

Jan needs to start playing the freshman more. McCabe and Kylie are what they are. Time to develop Addie and others.

This. Houston, Deal and Layla need more minutes. Stremlow too.

 

[AFM22]

Crooks scored above her season average on us. I was told we'd run her ragged. She also played 36 minutes, 11 over her average.

 

[Amahawk]

JJ shoulders a lot of blame for some of her defensive matchups tonite.

Not her best coaching job.

I strongly agree!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Chit Chat not shooting in the last 3 minutes is criminal

Looking for the 3 too much. It's not like they ignored her..........

 

[Anon1750875978]

And free throws.

Amazing tho, ISU was worse, percentage wise, but WAY more attempts.

 

[DTP2]

Sport needs to go to six fouls for DQ. Bad officiating dictates too much. Ava had a couple dumb fouls but two others had arms straight up

She has gained weight. She looks like the michelan man

 

[Jonesy5960]

Both of these teams have fatal flaws that will prevent them from being one of the better teams in the game. Iowa State will have a much easier schedule in the Big 12 but ultimately both of these teams are Round of 32 max Sweet 16 teams.

Nope.

 

[WDSMHawk]

What you mean is she's "soft".

You play the 4/5, you need a mean streak.

Not exactly a senior leader on the court.

Hannah's rebounds: 15
Everyone else who touched the floor for Iowa combined: 17

We should have pushed the pace more than we did that’s for sure

 

[Anon1750875978]

Well, when the refs create so many "none timeout" stoppages...

 

[QChawks]

Go back and look at my keys to the game they were we had to get her in foul trouble or completely tire her out

And we were able to do neither and took the big fat L

Iowa State did a good job of pressuring the ball so that we couldn't run in transition and get clean looks up the floor.

Also, credit to Chit Chat, but we don't have a Caitlin Clark that can still break that pressure and find the open runner through traffic. CC is 6 ft. Chit Chat is what....5'4"?

I'd like to see her against Geno/Mulkey/Staley before I'd make that claim. Our gameplan was severely lacking.

 

[Hawx224]

In all seriousness, I hope she pays serious attention to her health. Seems like a nice gal and I’ve known far too many athletes on the bigger side who ballooned once they were done with all the practices and games that helped keep things somewhat in check

 

[2212hawk2]

Did they stop the game every time Crooks fell down? Seemed like that happened two or three times. They don’t do that for other players typically.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

They were worried about all those 3s that Iowa State was gonna make as a result of us double teaming Crooks..................................

Also, we did double at times.






And then go away from it for half the quarter for reasons.

 

[Bloody Run Hawk]

We had CC22 and now they have the best player in the state in Crooks.

Why do you post on the Iowa board? You need to go over to cyclone fanatic.

 

[QChawks]

I'd like to see her against Geno/Mulkey/Staley before I'd make that claim. Our gameplan was severely lacking.

She’s the leading scorer in the country and she just dropped 30 points on the Hawkeyes

What else do you need to see?

Exactly..what a bunch of ********

 

[QChawks]

Because I don’t always wear black and gold glasses?

I still like this Iowa team, but it doesn’t change the fact Iowa State has owned us this year

 

[KurtWarner]

I didn't go back and read all posts but wasn't McCabe fouled badly on the 3?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Ava 8 points and 2 rebs in 16 min due to fouls. SMH.

 

[Denmar]

I don’t think she was fouled. Just terrible shot selection from a veteran.

 

[Franisdaman]

Hannah's rebounds: 15

This is her 4th year in the program and the only threat she is offensively is driving for a layup.

 

[scotihawk]

I strongly agree!

At the two minute mark at the end of the game, how Jan kept Hannah guarding Crooks was really bad. Finally subbed in Hayes. Two bunnies too late.

And HS picked up her 4th foul.

 

[scotihawk]

Not worried one little bit about this Iowa team. Lots to be happy about and a few things to learn from.

Also, Iowa State doesn't miss a shot in the 3Q. Their Super Bowl performance.

 

[Clone2]

Everything about ISU is embarrassing, especially their stupid siren

Your gonna hear it a lot tomorrow night!

 

[Donny 2.0]

1) one-sided officiating.
2) zero defensive adjustments.
3) no attempts to let Heiden or Hays go at Crooks to get some fouls.
4) Chit Chat is an absolute beast.

F*** the Clowns.

 

[Franisdaman]

What else do you need to see?

IF they play UConn, South Carolina, Texas or LSU, do you (or anyone else reading this) think that Audi would get away with the pushes, shoves, elbows & taking too many steps?

Geno, Kim & Dawn would be all over those refs, imo.
