Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2589165, member: 6927"] In what was likely the make-or-break game in the quest to get Stringer to win #1000 this year, Rutgers lost in overtime to Iowa after holding a 9-point lead with 4:00 to play. Tyler Scaife, after Iowa intentionally fouled her, made 1 of 2 free throws at 0:24 to give Rutgers a 3-point lead, and then Kathleen Doyle of Iowa hit a 3-pointer from the wing with a defender's hand in her face. Rutgers had two shot attempts as time expired, both of which rimmed out. Iowa then proceeded to outscore Rutgers by 10 in overtime. Rutgers, now at 19-10 on the season, just saw their odds of getting to 23 wins drop precipitously. Even if they beat Northwestern in the Big Ten finale, they'll still probably have to beat either Ohio State or Maryland in the conference tournament quarterfinals, or they'll have to beat a #1 or #2 seed in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament (since Rutgers is likely to be seeded between 7 and 10). Ouch. [/QUOTE]
