*****Iowa vs Purdue Game Thread*****
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Jan was Heavily using the bench, we were never going to lose that game. Our starters were better at every position. Reward the bench , give them minutes, protect the starters from injuries and rest them for Michigan. I am sure it got more ugly than Jan hoped, but is a team sport
They have to figure out a way to handle pressure and limit turnovers. Backcourt and wing limitations are very evident.
I haven't seen that problem at all until last night. OSU had to abandon it because Iowa broke it easily and scored at will.
Pressing does not always equal agressive. Purdue pressed but should have given up points off it. Jan seemed happy to just get it across and run clock.
I love the opinion that any criticism of Jan means you don’t like her or want her gone. This isn’t a high school popularity contest.
I like Jan I think she does a very good job and will be very successful.
but let’s not act like she’s (or any coach) is beyond reproach. I think Jan needs to work officials harder and in tonight’s game she needed to be a bit more demanding of her girls.
Purdue was buttery soft, this wasn’t some tough quick defense. Tonight’s goal should have been about developing a mindset. I think it was an opportunity missed.

Joe Maddon, the only manager in the last 118 years to bring a World Series title to the Chicago Cubs, often said, "Every game can't be a Picasso."
Sure. Congrats on a great second half, Purdue. And what good did it do them? Purdue lost.

Chit-Chat was off. Body language was off. Maybe she wasn't feeling well. In any event, she's been fantastic, so if she's healthy on Sunday, I'm confident we'll see her return to form. Even LeBron and Michael had bad games. Look it up.
But it does . . . in the NBA, in middle school, everywhere basketball is played. Everywhere sports is played. Purdue never quit. They have some shooters. When you get a huge lead so early, sometimes it's difficult to maintain the intensity that got you there, especially in the long grind of a college basketball season. Iowa won comfortably. It was one game. Move on to the next one.
That may not be the worst strategy when you have a 24-point lead and win easily. Just sayin'.
Ole Miss didn’t make a shot in the 4th Quarter. What did that dumbass Coach Yo say to her players??!!
I love the Cote McMahon experiment of moving her to pt guard. 8-25 from the field and 2 assists. Now that is efficient. But man, look at how athletic those girls are!
I didn't get to watch very much of last night game but this is funny
They did struggle with names, Teagan Maley was another, Was anticipating Taylor Steamboat at anytime.
That technical foul sequence in the 3rd Q was pretty entertaining, tho.
That was some serious attitude by the LSU center.
whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

You'll have to excuse him. He's president of the Hannah Stuelke fanclub.

He did at least say, "maybe" best player. Ava has taken that mantle in my book. If she puts in the kind of work she did after last season, she could take over Betts spot as top post in the league next season, and AA candidate...
Oh there's no doubt that Ava's the best player on the team and one of the best players in the country today. I don't think anyone with a clear mind would argue otherwise. There's a reason she's one of the 30 Naismith finalists this year.
I'm not going to argue with with the president of the Hannah Stuelke Fan Club, but statistics suggest otherwise and only one of them is a Naismith finalist. Just sayin'....
My comment isn't intended to be critical of Chat. Just saying that her having an unusual off game will skew a result that wasn't as impressive as some might hope. I'd bet she has a big bounce back Sunday.
As the President of the Hannah fan club she averages more rebounds, assists, and steals and more minutes. Just sayin! Lol.I'm not going to argue with with the president of the Hannah Stuelke Fan Club, but statistics suggest otherwise and only one of them is a Naismith finalist. Just sayin'....
IMO she has been a bit off (for her) last two games. Hope it is nothing long-term
I worry a bit about her minutes since T Mac got hurt, She averages 33 minutes a game on the season, Upped to 39 mpg since the injury. Another by product of a shortened bench.
Thought she played great in Lincoln. Handled pressure without screens routinely throughout the game, had some big buckets. Some uncharacteristic turnovers, but if you watch the game again they weren't necessarily ill-advised passes or getting her pocket picked.
