*** 2024-2025 Iowa women’s basketball season thread ***

[HerkyHopeful]

UNI women beat #8 Iowa State last night, 87-75.

UNI was down a starter as well.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

They will be after that one.

I wish Kylie Feuerbach could have developed her 3PT shot by now -- she is a decent defender but leaves much to be desired on the offensive side.

McCabe can fucking shoot. She's like +50% from 3PT on the season so far; however, they rarely get her open looks.

They’re trying more each game. She’s really mostly a catch and shoot shooter. Her height makes it a little more difficult for her to come off screens and shoot on the move unless she’s wide open.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Well this sucks , they just dedicated the game to her yesterday


from last year

 

[douglasbader]

Awww man. That poor, lovely kid. =(

 

[MikeyJoe]

Damn.

 

[Fletch]

 

[L. Wade Childress]

my daughter is in the same grade as Harper Stribe, another former kid captain. She is still playing basketball for AIA. Truly amazing kid.

 

[Stomper15]

Women are finally ranked.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Women are finally ranked.

M1 or M2

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

JK!!!!!

 

[Lil Scamp]

Any way you slice it Teagan Melayni #1

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

South Carolina is currently on a 32-0 run against Iowa State. It is 32-3.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Another poor choice by @Herbie2

 

[tallperson54]

What's the deal with Olsen being out?

What's the deal with Olsen being out?

Fell at practice yesterday and cut her knee.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Knows things he shouldn’t

No, Sorry.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Woof.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

No, Sorry.

Probably for the best. Looks ugly.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Iowa was a 28.5 point favourite.

 

[BuffettHawk]

They really miss Olsen out there.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Feuerbach being the leading scorer at half, and Stuelke attempting two 3-pointers is a very bad sign.

 

[Herbie2]

Iowa was a 28.5 point favourite.

Currently -11.5

She likely back tomorrow, next week, or longer?

 

[WCFHawkeye]

O'Grady, Guyton, McCabe with strong second halves according to the boxscore.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I watched some of it on a bootleg. Stremlow is not a point guard. The whole team sucked against the press. Guyton (in her 2nd game back from major injury) actually turned the game for us in the 3rd quarter with two 3s.

In any event this was one of those random 1/10 games where's it not a blowout because Iowa had only six points in the second quarter and then in the third quarter some 6'4" Indian (tech support) chick from Rhode Island who had no history of making threes caught fier and made four in one quarter.

Basically yell at them to have some sack and aggression and otherwise flush it and move on.

 

[BuffettHawk]

They said it’s game-to-game.

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

Beef O'Brady really stepped up but the guards are going to have to keep improving if this team wants to make a run.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Ouch

 

[Stu Beagle]

Wisconsin and Iowa both in the Cancun challenge but Wisconsin gets 3 games while we get 2?

 

[cloudhawk]

Why is Wiscy getting punished?

 

[Herbie2]

5 turnovers in the 1st 3 minutes of the game.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Not ideal

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Tennessee seems like they can only press and score when they force turnovers. Otherwise not terribly impressed.

 

[douglasbader]

Stulke should never ever ever ever ever be involved with taking the ball out or bringing it up the court.

 

[douglasbader]

"HOW DOOOOOO YOU DOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

Brando is such a fucking tit.

 

[Mr. Hawk]

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

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

18 first half turnovers? Never seen a press before?

 

[douglasbader]

18 first half turnovers? Never seen a press before?

It's insane. They have no clue how to clear out so the PG can operate and for some reason they keep allowing Stulke and O'Grady to touch the ball out of bounds too much. Now it has infected others and Lucy just chucking the ball out of bounds because she is freaking out.

Calm the fuck down, ladies.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

Gonna have 40 TOs and might somehow win. This is so bad.

 

[Grandma]

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

 

[Herbie2]

No.

 

[Grandma]

Great analysis, Herb.

 

[Herbie2]

Great analysis, Herb.

Thank you. Yours was not.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Teams that don't press aren't suddenly going to press. Iowa would carve them up.

 

[douglasbader]

Jensen had a horrible plan to break the press, and on top of it multiple veteran players just freaked out. The Freshman actually showed the most poise and Jensen didn't play any of them really in the 2nd half.

I thought Affolter hurt her knee, not her brain. She is a complete spaz under pressure and was absolutely terrible.

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.

 

[kmurp]

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

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Tennessee has 29 more fg attempts
