Nebraska girl had both feet in the restricted area, was literally still moving, and actually start IN the restricted area... like her feet, not once during the play, were out of that area. Absolutely astonished at how poor some officials are. What pisses me off more, pretty substantial collision/landing. Sara could have been hurt. This is why I've long been saying to ban the charge. It was a dangerous play, with Sara taking a tumble because a player slid under her while she was in the air. And the player slid under her because too often that shit gets rewarded. We protect shooters by calling a foul if they aren't given space to land. Protect other airborn players the same way. Running up to someone and coming to a dead stop isn't defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is not as much contact as with men, minor things get called. Back when I reffed intamurals at IU, I always preferred the womens games over the men. The games were like slow motion compared to the men and much easier to call. Maybe that explains why there's so much traveling called in the women's game? It's rare on the men's side, but even stars like Mackenzie Holmes get called for it multiple times in a women's game. Maybe because the men are quicker they're generally given the benefit of the doubt, while the women are a little slower to start their action.

Is it just that the IU women’s team is good or does some of the attendance numbers come from the exposure of players like Sydney getting big NIL deals? I don’t know the answers that’s why I challenged him to try and come up with some! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuthruandthru Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Going to be a tough road match but I hate the Iowa women’s team. I hope for a win but man SSAH is gonna be rocking when they come to a sold out game. We either double them up or get them back, but let’s get the double ladies! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD blocked me on twitter like a decade ago because he's soft. 2. There are few people that deserve punched squarely in the face more often than DD. if you are an Indiana fan and still listen/support DD, I question you.

Reacher Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Our girls are hanging tough. Hope they settle down in the second half and pull this one out. Will need a great effort but we can beat them. Would love to steal a W there. The Caitlin Clark love fest is sickening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWB Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 And it's 8 against 5. Clark lowered a shoulder going into the lane, knock the IU player 180° and back 10' and no call. Tons of moving screens by Iowa, no call. And on, and on, and on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helping that she has been wide open on the last few three’s off the screen and swished them all. Need to play better defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Indiana looks like a team that flew in this morning. Shots aren't falling, flat-footed, not the team I've seen the last few weeks. Still feel good about the rematch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUskim Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Well. We played tough. Shots didn’t fall. Clark did what she does make shots complain to the refs. Refs were also not the greatest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy River Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 See if any of this sounds familiar. IU goes an the road against a good team and gets curb stomped on National TV, because: They can’t shoot They turn the ball over They can’t hit free throws They can’t defend the three They can’t match the energy level of the opponent. Some “unknown” player has a career night WTH, is this crap contagious? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some “unknown” player has a career night WTH, is this crap contagious? How much was the travel an issue? What time were they supposed to arrive in Iowa before the game. I know, I know there are those that take the tack that you gotta be ready to go whenever but having to be the team to travel in that weather was more of a burden on the visiting team than usual. Iowa was probably going to win that game at home either way (we'll see what the return trip is like) but if the IU women don't normally play that way (the men do), then there may have been some other factors in play. I can go out and give you work after a night of interrupted sleep. I can even travel and do that. What you are not likely to get is my best performance. Iowa wasn't likely to lose at their place but I don't think that performance is indicative of the team as a whole. Get them on the return trip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
