Week 13 - Jan 29 to Feb 4

[nwhoopfan]

Gus Johnson again on the traveling Caitlin Clark show. Can he get players' names right 50% of the time tonight?

 

[dabears17]

Me too. My grandson graduated from Tech a couple of years ago.

Two of my sisters graduated from Virginia Tech and went to grad school at UConn.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa must have 6 missed layups in the first 5 minutes of the game. Mostly Stuelke, but it's been a team effort.

edit--even more missed bunnies, good thing they can't miss from behind the arc

 

[Vowelguy]

Michigan once again doing that thing where they careen from good to horrible back to good again

I thought penn st was on the rise with the emergence of owusu. So much for that

 

[nwhoopfan]

Iowa blew an 18 point lead in about 4 minutes. Pretty crazy.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Maryland played great in stretches, but Iowa always had an answer. Clark went cold in the 4th quarter but her teammates stepped up. Affolter had a number of big plays. Caitlin's passing was great all throughout the game.

i need molly davis to shoot 10 shots a game. its compulsory.

 

[nwhoopfan]

How is Davis only averaging 6 ppg? Every time I watch the Hawkeyes she has 12, 15, 18, something like that.

 

[nwhoopfan]

17 O boards for Iowa, that's huge. Overall 47-30 rebounding advantage. Hawkeyes have a small lineup on the floor most of the time.

 

[maple]

So many teams have beat up Maryland this season yet Iowa struggles to get the win. Hmmm.

 

[nwhoopfan]

It was really annoying that the commentators kept insisting all game that Clark was trying to match Watkins' scoring from last night. I'm sure that was not on her mind even slightly.

I'm certain if Maryland had played the way they did tonight more often, they would not be getting beat up.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Clark's first win at Maryland. First win for Iowa at Maryland in 30+ years. I think they'll take it, regardless of how close it was.

 

[nwhoopfan]

93-85 final. 38 pts/12 assists for Clark.

 

[Vowelguy]

I was stunned that he still had MD in.

lol. what a maroon

It was really annoying that the commentators kept insisting all game that Clark was trying to match Watkins' scoring from last night. I'm sure that was not on her mind even slightly.

To be fair she was nearly on pace at the half (23 points) and was red hot. I was happy to hear them bring up Juju though and give her the well deserved props. 51 of your team's 67 points is an insane stat I don't know if I've ever seen before at the college level.

Clark with another nice night, started out red hot and then cooled off at the end but got the job done. 38 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds for her. This didn't even feel like a standout night from her which shows how spoiled us viewers are becoming.

She scored 2, and 3 points in her previous two games. Looking at her stats, she shows up for the big games like Indiana and Ohio St but not for the Purdue and Wisconsin games

How long til the rest of the WCC votes to kick Gonzaga out? GU hammering Pacific 100-37 right now...and Pacific is tied for 3rd in the conference, 1 game back of 2nd place.

Who was it that said the gap between Gonzaga and the rest of the conference was massive? Was that me?

Gonzaga is a classic "sleeper" team...at least in these eyes. I've only seen them play once (against Louisville) but they seem like a really solid team that could make a Sweet 16. They won't be challenged again prior to the NCAAT.

 

[LETTERL]

Also in WCC news, San Diego about to get their first conference win of the season, against also tied for 3rd place San Francisco.

That's why we play the games...and not just decide things on paper!

It was just a typical Clark game. She was just playing like she normally does. It was fine that they brought up Watkins and gave her props, but they didn't need to keep yammering on about Clark trying to one up her.

I thought that's why we have the NET, so we don't need to play the games, we just see who is better according to the computers.

You mean being #1 in the country doesn’t mean you should be automatically handed the NC trophy?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Of course it does, ask Dawn.

 

[Vowelguy]

CCSUs Samora Watson had 37 in a W over Merrimack. Her 3rd 30-pt game this season

Waitin on the day JuJu has 12 assists.
