WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

[NWICY]

They were top ten in attendance and lead the Big Ten in both Gustafson's senior year and the Doyle post-Megan pre-Clark year.

Granted it will be hard to match the perfect storm of Clark but there seems to be a perception on CF that Iowa WBB hasn't been a draw prior to that.

Until the Clark effect, they were the 2nd best attended WBB program in the state. I'm guessing they will drop back to that in about 4 yrs.

ISU's attendance actually was picking up at the end of the year. Still plenty of good balcony seating available but definitely fuller than the beginning of the yr.

I'm sold! Who will join me and split season tickets at Carver-HE. I can't afford them alone, and think of being in an arena named after a Carver!

CBF will face off at least once against Ny next year.

Great to see she found a place. Things just didn't seem to click this year, but no doubt she was a Cyclone through and through.

About as good as she could expect. A P5 team that's desperate after graduation and transfers left them on paper (currently) without enough players to really play P5 hoops.

Hope she has a good experience there.

I’d rather take Calc II in Carver Hall in Ames again than that. Give me some parametric equations over Frau Bluder and the rest.

You do realize ISUs Carver is for George Washington Carver and squakeye arena is named after Roy Carver…just a Mr Moneybags for Iowa.

That wordplay fact was my fun poke at the difference between Cy and Hawk—peanuts vs retreads.

This means outgoing right? We on the other hand have not been as fortunate. One of these days the snake is going to bite 'em in the butt.

Also saw that this morning. Other than Lauren Jensen to Creighton I can't think off the top of my head of gals who have transferred out of Iowa. And only Feuerbach and Davis as transfers in.

 

[mred]

Not a surprise.

Man, the pessimistic chatter I was seeing from some Hawk fans is that they couldn't compete with NIL from LSU and others. Guess that was not true. Pretty huge get. Seems like a good fit for both player and school/team.

Not a surprise.

Maybe CC helped buy her replacement

Megan Meyer transferred to Drake, Taiwo transferred to TCU for her Covid year, and Wetering transferred as an underclassman to UNI, I think.

They lost 3 starters and their top reserve. They return 9 plus Ava Jones and signed 5. Feuerbach and Affolter at guard and Stuelke and O’Grady at C/F are the only players with much playing time.

They needed another experienced player. There will be plenty of playing time. As UConn has shown, there is a difference sitting on the bench for a team playing for championships and sitting on a bench for a team not playing for championships.

They lost four regular season starters (CC, Martin, Marshall, Davis).

It is a nice pick up for Iowa; however, she is not CC and their fans need to temper their expectations of Olsen. She is not the second coming of CC, and her 3-point shooting is not in the same league as CC.

I hope Hawk fans have sky high expectations then turn on her if she doesn't meet them Hawk meltdowns are fun to watch.

Of these three, only Wetering transferred on bad terms. Not sure why but they all unfollowed each other on social media after she left which says a lot these days.
