*** 2025-2026 Iowa women’s basketball season thread ***

[Hawk&Balls]

I don't hate that. She's not going to play 35 min a game.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I concur...I was surprised by how they took the ball out of her hands so much tonight and had McCabe initiate the offense.

Idk if that’s by design though. It seems that they’ve always just outlet to the closest guard

 

[Hawk24]

Houston has really impressed me so far. She's not stuffing the stat sheet, but hustling, playing hard, getting tough rebounds, and making smart passes.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

I can stand, but if not in the front row, won't be able to see shit.

I was planning on taking my SO and 13-year old daughter to the game. They also would need to be near the front, and once one left the front, they won't be getting back.

@Herbie2 was right, it wasn't as bad as I feared. Only a couple deep standing on top row, we are standing above section 108, which we aren't supposed to, with no obstruction.

Would say half the crowd is Iowa.

 

[Lil Scamp]

These gals is good

 

[CraigTNelson]

I like Ava but sometimes she looks like Andre the Giant getting stuck in between the ropes.

Imagine getting this upset over women's basketball

I don’t have to. I AM!!

 

[Lil Scamp]

More people care about Iowa women's basketball than men and it's freaking people out

 

[Mysterio]

missed on greenway a legacy, lewis an iowa kid, murray semi-legacy, and the one they really wanted in bjorn. certainly a bummer they couldnt get a good running mate with woliczko.

 

[Geese]

Yep

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Yep

Rascal

 

[Stomper15]

That's surprising

 

[Herbie2]

That's surprising

Baylor took a big jump in the polls early after beating Duke…from 16 up to 7…Duke has proven to not be very good and has dropped from the polls. And Baylor struggled with UNLV recently, being down 8 points in the 4th. Iowa can/will score with a lot of options, while Baylor has just 3 players scoring more than 6.5 PPG.

 

[Bovert]

Fuck yeah!!!

If you care about men more than Iowa women’s basketball, that means you’re gay.

There are a lotta gay people hanging out at carver nowadays

Young people seem to want to be in the SEC.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Rodriguez possibly with the most out of control 2 minutes i've ever seen in basketball. Two travels. Three shots blocked.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Ok. Iowa really needs to learn to pump fake or hesitate. At least 7 shots blocked in the 1st quarter. Absolutely brutal to watch.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Just turn it off

 

[Stu Beagle]

Rodriguez possibly with the most out of control 2 minutes i've ever seen in basketball. Two travels. Three shots blocked.

It was hilarious. She has no business being in this game.
And Stuelke showing she would have no chance to even get a shot off at the next level

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I turned it off.

 

[Wanderer]

I say Chit, you say Chat. Chit!!!! Chat!!!!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Stremlow with a play that will get you uninvited from morning pickup league

 

[Uff Da]

Chit Chat hurt

 

[The Full Monte]

I like the Hawkeyes. Game that is obviously significant for this WBB team so I tuned in….jeez this is hard to watch

 

[douglasbader]

Lol, I read these comments and google search "Iowa Women's Basketball" thinking they are down 30 or something.

Score is 44-42 with Iowa in the lead and 8 minutes left.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

It was ugly basketball for a while. That's what they're getting at.

 

[The Tin Man]

Stremlow

Coming for to carry me home

Rodriguez isn't helping.

Iowa has been playing pretty good defense .

You needed to have seen the Rodriguez sequence in the first half. It was unreal. A crime against the game of basketball. Four straight possessions she got the ball on offense and immediately drove the hoop (head down Maishe Dailey style) and tried to shoot directly into 6'4" players (blocked) or went through a crowd of players, fell, and got called for a travel.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

What in the fuck was that

 

[AZmessDAWG]

It’s been ugly.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Lol

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Oh my god Rodriguez

 

[AZmessDAWG]

What in the fuck is she doing?

 

[douglasbader]

Rodriguez is going to win you some games but holy fucking shit she is out of control and a complete dumbfuck.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

She's a work in progress

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

I mean I want to encourage aggression and she has some moves, but holy shit. They need to put a shock collar on her or something.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Complete dumbfuck

 

[douglasbader]

Here she was on that sequence:

 

[Stu Beagle]

My god Baylor has missed a million shots

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Here comes a made three right here.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Gotta go man. Get out of the zone.
