Every time I say it too, you cry.

Waaah I’m not fat anymore. Yeah you are.

Didn’t expect this outcome. Disappointing end, but a pretty fun season.
Kept expectations high for Deal and the freshmen next season.

I've said it before but I fucking hate that in both men and women, the ball handler can just lower their shoulder like a full back and barrel into the defender for a bullshit foul call.

Kylie has 2 hands on her before any contact with the body is made.

Iowa needs a 5 so, so badly. Heiden might be it next year, but O'Grady sucks and has sucked, and shoehorning Hannah into the 5 is like the one year when Greg Brunner had to play center because everyone taller than him either got hurt or missed grades.

They really should have just had CC throw together a massive bag for Lauren Betts after 2023. I'm not sure you can actually win a NC without elite post play, and we haven't had that for the last two seasons. Go get somebody in the portal.

Nothing more cyclone-ey than blaming the refs for a 30 point loss!

And that's why the foul was on Kylie.
They're calling a little bit of hand checking on defense as much as they're calling gather steps travelling. Which is never. Until the ball handler turns into Mike Alstott and initiates actual contact. And no I'm not blaming refs, I couldn't watch the game today. I just saw that on Twitter and it's a huge pet peeve of mine.

The most annoying non-call in WBB is the mini hop before they shoot. It should be a travel, but it never gets called.

Tough break for Affolter to pull a JBo ending, especially considering he almost certainly sucks more dicks than she does.

I wish more women players learned the fadeaway move that Audi has. It's actually really nice and is effective against bigger players in the post. It's maddening watching them always try to shoot straight over taller girls.

Maybe she’ll be ok. Cooper Flagg left the ACC tourney in a wheelchair and came back the next game.
Yeah that was ankle though and this is clearly a knee of the non contact plant variety. Maybe only a sprain like the Molly Davis variety but I have to think she is done for the tourney.

I wonder if Katie Dinnebier is second-guessing her choice to stay at Drake at all. They missed the tourney. She would have been an excellent addition for us.

I have wondered the same, but assumed that the interest from either her or Iowa wasn't there. Was she being pursued by any higher D1 schools?
