Iowa is a really interesting team. Surprisingly one of the worst shooting teams so far in the league and Clark is only shooting 24% from 3 this year. At some point they are gonna break out and hit a bunch of 3's, hopefully thats not today.

[HB]

Any word on Bella's status for today?

[redsteve]

I'll be the predictor today.  If we play defense like we did against Mich., I think we'll beat Iowa.  And....our bench will be much of the difference.

Doubt they'll be able to keep with the speed of our game......and we have to many scorers for them to stop.

 

So there you have it ...beat me up if you want.

[HUD]

NU by 7.  Can't let the BULL (Cizano) go off on us.

Matt said Ruby's back, I don't believe he said anything about Bella though.  Said Alexis Markowski is starting today!

He said she's still out 

[12dozen]

Slow start.  Down 15 - 7 early.  Defense missing at the moment.

[Red Don]

And shooting is a little off (so far) 

[Red Don]

HOLY MOLY,  4 2nd chanc3 points & back to back buckets.

 

Refs suckky too.   Seemsl ilike there's always a foul against Markowski, (but none when she's fouled)

 

This is going to be a Slugfest!!!

[Red Don]

If it comes down to a Slugfest I think our Depth may make the difference!!!

 

Bluder getting HOT, almost got T'd up.

Hopefully the stripes get tired of Bluder's whining.

Giving up way too many wide open looks, defense has to tighten up.

[twister31]

Of all days that Iowa gets their crap together

[colhusker]

Does Iowa ever miss?

[Red Don]

Goodt Play, Good Movement, Good Rebounding, Shots just aren't falling for us.

 

[colhusker]

Poor call there

[colhusker]

Clark for Iowa is that player if they play for you, you love them if not you hate her.  

[Red Don]

Halftime Stats:    Iowa is Good; and having a good Day. But will we have the better Second Half???

 

 

Edited January 9, 2022 by Red Don

[12dozen]

Looking at shooting percentages, amazing we're only down 6.  Maybe percentages will even out in the 2nd half. 

[redsteve]

HALF TIME

 

Iowa's shooting 68% in first half.  Just don't believe that will last. On the other hand where's our defense??

 

Their defense was better than ours in first half ?   We can definitely been too tight. 

 

Zone defense needed?
