IUWBB @ #23 Iowa - Sunday, 01.12.25 @ 3:00 ET on Peacock

So many empty possessions this first half.  

[LamarCheeks]

We led by 5 after 10 minutes and now are up by 6 after 20. 

So we actually extended our lead -- but what a disappointing finish to the half. 

[JerryYeagley23]

A lot of time left, but that was a good to great first half of basketball on the road against a ranked team. 
 

Admittedly I haven’t watched as much IU women this year mostly because of the obscure broadcast locations, but damn, I forgot what a breath of fresh air they are away from the struggle that is watching our men’s team. So much structure, heart, fundamentals. You almost forget what  by it’s like watching a team where you’ve watched the players develop over multiple years and a coach that deploys the talent effectively year after year.

Had a bad feeling when we were up 15. No lead ever seems to be safe in this building, whether it's a men's or women's game.

I would like to see more Wiseman and less of lily as the season goes on. Lily peaked last season and should not be in the plans past this season

Careless to close out half.  I expect better scoring from Iowa second half.  The question is how efficiently will IU Ladies score?

[OliviaPope40]

Yikes. 

[mamasa]

Iowa only has two more rebounds than we do, but it feels like they have just destroyed us on the boards

[TheWatShot]

We're fouling WAY too much. Hard to see us winning if this keeps up. 

[mamasa]

It’s always good to see that even with the new coach Iowa players are still whiners

[LamarCheeks]

Nice block by Striplin -- but she shoulda just flung the ball as far as she could. 

[spe317]

Iowa is certainly receiving that home court whistle.

They have 11 offensive rebounds, we have 2. That's probably why. 

[mamasa]

Did the announcer just call CMM “Holmes”?

[LamarCheeks]

CMM shoulda hit Cieski to the right instead of Syd to the left. 

Cieski's faster and was going to her strong hand. 

 

[LamarCheeks]

Good grief -- we are making some dumb fouls, but these refs are certainly whistle happy. 

[TheWatShot]

Iowa was in the bonus at the 7:14 mark. We finally made it at 1:33. lol

[LamarCheeks]

Up by 10 after 30 minutes. 

Let's keep it up. 

Gotta watch the fouls and take care of the ball. 

[TTT]

Sidenote:  per announcers the Iowa Ladies freshman were/are the 9th ranked recruiting class in the country.

Oh boy, we get to see CC highlights.
