The pod wasn’t that helpful as they don’t reveal that much and just push you to become a premium subscriber on the app (which thank God I am, best investment ever) as that’s where you can get the real skinny.

But it’s not all about Dr. Steal’s thoughts on appreciation potential, as vital as that may be. I’m awaiting player reviews to see if these will maximize my Madizen’s potential (while she’s a strong player, her vertical movement sometimes suffers without optimized footwear) and I am also awaiting medical experts thoughts on the long term podiatrical impact (I am a father, after all) before I pull the trigger.

That being said, I am certainly intrigued.
Two things you will never know about.

Teagan scored 24 tonight and Deal 17. Both shot well and Wisconsin won by 33.

I always liked Mallegni, thought she could have been a solid rotational player. I thought Deal sucked.

Situationally probably best if both moved on. She was always likely going to be stuck on the bench, and will play a lot more and in her home state at Wisconsin.

But it was at Chrysler and UConn will be pissed

When I said the Iowa women's basketball team isn't very good right now, this is what I meant. Looked like shit against bad teams. Getting blown out at UCONN.

There's always a top 4 or 5 and then a bunch of wannabees who have no chance.. Is this year different?

I mean we just beat them in the big ten tournament and their team didn't change much. Pretty sure ours got better
Because Michigan’s team didn’t change much, means they have played together A LOT more than Iowa, who is starting 3 new players, including a freshman. Michigan played UConn at home…our inexperienced team is playing its first road game in Storrs against a motivated top 5 team coming off a loss. Result so far isn’t too surprising at all.
