WBB: **** Iowa State vs. No. 4 UCONN- 7:30 PM FS1 GAME THREAD ****

[acoustimac]

Man…UConn is the team that answered the bell in the third. Ladies are making mistakes that make you scratch your head. But that one with AJ getting the rebound, falling out of bounds and trying to pass back in….to UConn really was the epitome of the everything that has gone wrong tonight.

Probably going to need to win Big 12 tournament to make the dance

 

[jdubs]

Geno up by 30 points and he’s got his team running a full court press.

So pretty similar to what TJ and the Men do?

Margin of victory helps your metrics in the women's game too.

 

[CYDJ]

I just saw a UCONN make a mistake. 1.

 

[isufbcurt]

Approaching SC levels.

any combo of 2 of their 3 top scorers add up to more than our entire team.

 

[acoustimac]

UConn only 5/14 from deep since the first…I’m looking for positives here!

Why not? This is D1 bball, not junior high. Stop them. I wish we had the athleticism and speed to play like that.

 

[CYDJ]

And to top all this off, I have to watch commercials with Staley and Sanders. Really great night all around.

How often do we full court press? 1/2 court, yes, that's the only D we know. Full court, not up by 30, c'mon.

I don’t care about this game, I’m just concerned about how we are going to get things fixed before Conference.

 

[CY9008]

Sheesh. I didnt really think we had a shot at SC/IA/UConn when looking at the schedule, but the way we’ve lost is pretty disheartening. From top 10 to - what’s even needed to make the tournament at this point?

CBF has proven a lot and I have no doubt this team can turn it around and win quite a few Big 12 games, but we just know that elite status is never really in play.

Hare took over a bit of the Belanger role of hitting a shot when we really needed it. Really sucks to lose her when she was settling in.

Just becuase you can doesn't mean you should.

 

[acoustimac]

Waiting…for someone to bash the announcers for calling us a young team

 

[CYDJ]

Their players really have great facial moves. Looks of complete surprise any time they get a foul. Pro level stuff here.

 

[rosshm16]

Getting a year older won't matter if our players continue to have zero development from year to year.

 

[CYDJ]

UCONN mistake... 2.

 

[legi]

Just becuase you can doesn't mean you should.

I wouldn’t if I was coaching, but I also wouldn’t complain if the other team did it to me. Step up and make them pay for it or don’t schedule teams you know are athletically superior to you.

Should we also have a mercy rule and stop the game after UConn is 50+ up?

 

[CYDJ]

Audi really showing some activity here.

I wouldn't complain either. I, on the other hand, would just be VERY shamed to do anything that dickheaded.
