Affolter looks like shes trying to be the glue when there's nothing to glue. They need her to be the offensive threat she was last year in the tournament.

Jensen is stuck between relying on the seniors, who helped deliver Iowa back to back National Championship game appearances, versus cutting their minutes in favor of some talented, but inexperienced freshmen. Tough spot to navigate.

Kylie is not good and Sydney looks like she’s playing at about 60%. Addi just doesn’t have it- let Ava play.

Affolter is is essentially the same player. I’m sure the knee thing has had SOME effect on her productivity but the main thing is that three huge offensive weapons from last year are gone.

She's either hesitant or invisible right now on offense.

She’s the same player ability-wise that has more attention on her now.

She’s essentially a spot shooter. Some ability to drive but not really that effective at finishing or passing. Like AZ said, she’s always been that but that’s a lot more effective when you have Clark and 2-3 other shooters taking the attention and spreading the floor.

yeah but her J looks completely different and broke this year. It has to be health related.

Taking Guyton out with 2 minutes left was incredibly dumb. Then taking her out again with 2.30 left in the OT and 5 stiff white girls in, none who can create a shot.

Stuelke and Guyton were the two best players on the court and she sits them in key moments.

nice rebound O Grady. Meanwhile Hanna and her 18 rebounds are on the bench

Don’t give the foul, but foul on the tying shot attempt is certainly a strategy.

If you're not going to start O'Grady, then you may as well give Heiden all of her bench minutes. Otherwise she's not going to develop and you risk losing her

I said after the IU game that Jan was in a really tough spot and that hasn’t changed.

But the coaching in that game had Fran wondering WTF she was doing with her lineups.

Did Beth interview the Oklahoma coach with Iowa ties?
