WBB: ***#10 Iowa State at #16 Iowa (Wed., 6:00)***

What should we expect out of Soares vs Czinano? Soares has 3" on her, but rotates out with Mo often.

I think that will be the matchup that decides the game. Will be great to watch.

Will be interesting but Kane more than held her own last year versus Czinano. Monika had only 13 pts and Morgan had 9 pts and 7 rebounds in 25 minutes. The year before Czinano had 20 pts but only 4 rb. Will be fun to see if Soares can keep Czinano from getting the position she wants. Czinano is not physical on defense or rebounds but can be somewhat so getting her "spot". She doesn't do it much (or enough at times IMHO) got out and shoot 12-footers from around the free throw line, seen her make those and depending on how the paint is going for her it's not a bad option.

I expect to see constant ******** from Bluder and Clark tonight along with Clark being allowed to get away with her straight arm all night long.

With constant flailing that will be called fouls on whoever is close to her.

I would think that graduating by July would not be out of the question - am guessing a school like Dowling offered lots of opportunities to take college credit classes, plus most MBB / WBB players take summer classes now in order to participate in the summer workouts.

The other question about the endorsements transferring to the WNBA - I would be very surprised if that happened as ESPN / Media is not going to spotlight her as they do now. She is a big fish in College Basketball but will not garner near as much attention in the Professional Side.

All of this said I will be VERY surprised if she is not at Iowa next year (and probably he year after).

My understanding is 2019-20 is the COVID year since that is the year that the NCAA tourney was cancelled. She didn't get to Iowa until Fall 2020 so not eligible for COVID?

Clark may not have much support next year with the other four being seniors. Bet Clark goes WNBA this spring.

Naw. She will enter the transfer portal to find a sweeter NIL deal....

20-21 is the free year.

If anyone is interested in a really good preview of the game the Hawks Rivals site has one. Very complete and fair assessment of the teams and the matchups. Players to watch, Marshall and Donarski. Key matchup, yeah, the post but they have some points on that and IMHO "get it" for both players. Worth a look.

It's a huge game at Carver-Hawkeye as Iowa and Iowa State battle in women's hoops. We have your full preview.

No comparison in the skill set of these two. Hopefully Bill’s game plan is to go through Soares which results in foul trouble the hoks. Establish Soares on the inside (with a couple of 3s mixed in) and then turn the other big four loose from the perimeter.

 

[67CY]

Hope Bill learned a few things from the NC game

Will watch this one with the sound off

 

[packattack425]

Ice cold so far

 

[CY88CE11]

Do you think Caitlin's teammates like when she Lamelos a shot from 30'?

 

[alarson]

Ugly start

 

[cyclonez7]

These refs are calling cheap fouls

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Whatsup with the Refs

 

[theshadow]

The flailing and falling has begun.

And history says this crew will fall for it.

 

[stormchaser2014]

"One of the best at getting to the free throw line." Well yeah when you fall down on every shot attempt.

 

[BigJCy]

Brick City for us so far

 

[isuno1fan]

Can’t make shots, can’t win.
