This is hard to watch…. so much reaching and hacking by Iowa…. and it’s not being called.. so they just keep doing it.

We are getting no calls at all, but we do need to play better.

The early foul the called on Audi on defense was atrocious given this. She was basically just standing there. College basketball can be barely watchable because of officiating.

Referees are just waiting to call two more fouls on Addy......that will ultimately be a problem not having her at the end. She's got a target on her with this crew for whatever reason.
Somewhat agree, but she has to be a LOT smarter too. When she had 2 fouls she committed a pretty bad reach, but luckily they didn’t call it. Then a minute later she runs over an Iowa defender and picks up her 3rd. You gotta play smarter than that with 2 fouls.

You just knew they were gonna shoot lights out threes against us. It happens every year that every team suddenly finds their three-point range against Iowa State.

What the heck game you watching? They shot 27% from three, awful. We smoked 5 for 7 for 71%.

They are getting nothing in the paint from O'Grady and Stuelke, that's their strength so we are doing well to force them into threes. They are a bad three point shooting team.

This game is a perfect example why i can hardly watch womens bball. Officiating.

Ticky tack, touch the hip, vertical on a shot attempt - thats a foul.

Knock someone down, hit them in the face, just hammer them - play on.

Its like the MORE force applied, the LESS likely to be a foul.

Ive seen probably a half dozen body check type impacts and none of them have been called. WTF is wrong with officiating in the womens game?
Been crappy for as long as I’ve watched ISU…and that’s a long time.

Words to never be said again after 2024 is over please: "transformational" and "generational".

I think it’s just that it seemed Iowa couldn’t miss down the stretch of the second. I’m hoping they revert to sucking.
