I wouldn't be too upset, acoustimac, as your accounts are clear and informed; it could be the complainer is impatient and wants to click on . . . and on.Quote:

I was at the game, and was showcked at how physical it was. Mostly from Iowa's side. #12 for Iowa (Johnson?) was getting away with all kinds of shoving/moving screens and there were a couple times where an ISU guard would come around a screen, and she would just flat out grab them and hold them so they couldn't get open. I recall one specific incident where she set a screen for Pritney towards the end of the game, and hip-checked Moody as she came around. Moody got knocked into Pritney, and was called for a foul and Pritney went to the line...
Believe me...she will have an adjustment to make too. This is the only game our guards struggled en masse. Lets wait and see how things evolve.Quote:

She still would start right now for us, no question.Quote:

Buckley is good even awesome but Moody is the quickest guard to waer an ISU uniform and has a pretty good toolbox. Logic who you made a big deal about our recruiting not being as good as Iowa was not where near the level of Nicki on that court.Quote:

No the refs were not all the fault for our loss we did not shot well from the field. Did you listen to Bills comments in the post game show? He was talking about how tough Annas defense was on Johnson and that she played 39 minutes which as he said was hard on her legs whiich affected her shooting late in the game. We lost by 8 points, they shot 25 free throws we shot 5 and made them all. Had we shot 20 more (to match what they shot) and only made 50% we win by 2 points. So the way the game was called did have some effect on the outcome.Quote:

Watch the replay! if we drive and get some calls - the game is flipped on the scoreboard. We play at Hilton and we win by 15 or more. We got homered by the refs!
Remember 2008-2009? It was another lopsided, frustrating loss at Iowa on the BTN. We were 5-1 heading into the game. The lone loss at the time was vs. Stanford in Hawaii, a week before the Iowa game. We had just entered the top 25. We also had a couple road games before the Hawaii trip, at UNI and at Creighton. We dropped out of the rankings after the Iowa loss.
How did that season go? We beat #10 Texas A&M at Hilton. Won some, lost some. And ended in the Elite 8 vs. Stanford after the dramatic win against MSU in the regional semifinal in Berkeley.
There's no reason this team cannot reach its goals -- learn from the Iowa loss and never give up on where you want to be at the end of the season.
If you think Fennelly is good looking, you don't need to use my post as an excuse to say it.

LOL, and a desirable trait in a player is a quick release. There is no pleasing some people.Quote:
