Missing layups are a focus and concentration thing. Are they mentally in the PRESENT and in the moment or not. It's a sign Iowa Hawkeyes are a bit tight IMO.

That was a big time bully ball move. I loved it.

That was a crazy dime. Should have been an and-one.

This game has been a hack fest lol. If men were playing the dudes would be having nuclear meltdowns about not getting some of these obvious calls that aren't happening.

Sheesh, this game is super physical.

Are the Gamecocks going to destroy either one of these teams?

UConn doesn't have enough bodies for the foul trouble.

Iowa beat them last year with a gimmick defense. It was awesome.

But SC has more than zero shooters this year which could counter that approach.

Uconn is impressive for a team with 5 players Injured. They can be special next year if healthy.

CC threes get it popping just like Steph threes do.

Why is Paige Bueckers not attacking the zone? She's just floating out there.

The BALLS on this girl. I absolutely love it. Chuck them thangs.

AIfan3 · Post #1437 » by **AIfan3** » Sat Apr 6, 2024 3:09 am

Iowa zone D has completely neutralized Bueckers. She's a complete non-factor in the second half.

Iowa called it, but UConn needed tihs time out.

Stuelke has been the steadiest player for Iowa.
