Thirty turnovers? Would not have thought that was even possible.

They had so many unforced turnovers. It was like junior high basketball.

My wife wanted to murder me when I told her a high school sophomore boys team would beat this shit out of them.

 

[douglasbader]

That’s the one that surprised me the most. She’s been awful.

Not sure what Jan is thinking having Stuelke with the ball in her hands vs that press.

They also have to find a way to get more threes up. You can't win in the year 2024 by shooting 14 threes in a game and making 3 of them.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Olsen has been disappointing

You can, you just can't turn it over 29 times in the same game.

 

[douglasbader]

Olsen has been disappointing

Lol, how??

She had 23 points, shot 50% from the field and 9-9 from the line with 5 assists.

Unless you are retarded and expected her to be Caitlin Clark, I have no idea how anyone could think she's been anything but good.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

They had so many unforced turnovers. It was like junior high basketball.

I watched for about 3 mins and stopped watching because they threw it nobody on three straight possessions.

If she would have jump-stopped on that last possession she would have likely been fouled and not swatted, other than that her stats looked great.

 

[Fletch]

Thirty turnovers? Would not have thought that was even possible.

Iowa had 31 turnovers when they went into Allen Field house and beat Kansas in 1998 to end their 62 game home winning streak.

I only watched about 20 minutes but she seemed to have a shit ton of turnovers in that span.
I wasn’t expecting Clark but was told she was one of the best players in the country last year so based on that I’ve been disappointed.

She had 4 turnovers on the night. She played great overall.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Olsen has been disappointing

I watched one quarter of a game this year, and she cut to the basket and was open at least 4 times. Never got a pass because her teammates either weren't looking or not capable of passing. She would have paired very well with Clark.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Olsen has been the one consistent. They'd be lost without her.

 

[RiotFan]

Olsen has been disappointing

Bad take. She’s been pretty damn good.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

No shit, disappointing? She has exceeded expectations.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Fine, I’ll admit Clark has ruined my brain for what an elite WBB player looks like

 

[Alan Lomax]

This is correct. Juju is a lot of fun to watch I think.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Not sure a team has ever won a game with 30 turnovers. It's amazing they led with three minutes left (and I think when they were on 28).

 

[shoot-the-three]

Didn't watch much of the game. Did Jensen play Olsen and Guyton together at all?

 

[RiotFan]

I don’t believe they were on the court together.

 

[Pinehawk]

That was hard to watch. They never seemed to try any different approaches to the press break. They don’t have enough ball handling, that is glaringly apparent.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

I know they lost by 10 or so, but at one point Iowa had had the lead with these stats late in the game. Amazing how that could even be.

 

[BBK]

Not ideal

 

[AZmessDAWG]

They've guaranteed themselves that they're going to see high pressure presses for the rest of the season.

Teams decide if pressing is going to be something they do. If it is it’s something they work on every day. If it’s not, they don’t (I know hard hitting stuff)

Teams have a press and work on it a couple just to make sure they have it in their back pocket it they need it. But it’s usually in desperate situations.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Olsen has been disappointing

Are you fucking serious? Lol.

 

[Lil Scamp]

Loog is messaging me and would like you all to know that Feuerbach is a total smokeshow.

Give him my regards

 

[BBK]

Little known fact: Loog's favourite food is banh mi

 

[snips]

no shit?

 

[Lil Scamp]

Little known fact: Loog's favourite food is banh mi

Well I'm loog and I don't even know what that is

 

[snips]

we had em late night @ this place

 

[Pinehawk]

That guy got run off the ped mall and out of town for being such an unsanitary mess. He spilled grease all over the freshly renovated ped mall and stained up the new stonework. He treated the storm drains as his trash cans.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

What a jerk!

 

[Pinehawk]

They sent him up to Solon where he'd be free to make as big of a mess as he wanted and nobody would even notice.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Wbb team get a new player?

 

[brantshawks]

He was called a pussy by the team and ran off.

 

[Fletch]

He was called a pussy by the team and ran off.

Men’s or women’s team?

 

[Kamala]

Chat?

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Holy fuck

 

[Stu Beagle]

My kid just asked if ISU coach is a boy or a girl

 

[Hawkstrat]

My kid just asked if ISU coach is a boy or a girl

Did you make fun of them for watching girls basketball?

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Snack Eaty is looking hungry tonight.

 

[Kamala]

Brutal

 

[L. Wade Childress]

This is the best of the best. Imagine spending thousands and thousands of dollars following around your two kids that wont even play in college.

 

[Stu Beagle]

Somehow she got even fatter

 

[Brad Wesley]

Somehow she got even fatter

She really did. Fennely must not believe in cardio.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

She’s thinner

 

[jabberjaw]

O’Grady somehow looks Ethiopian in comparison.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

What the fuck happened to Sydney’s shot. It’s like a set shot.

 

[Revolver]

Taylor McCabe has been real bad.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

She really did. Fennely must not believe in cardio.
