***NCAA First Round: (7) Iowa State vs. (10) Maryland [Fri., 6:30 CT]***

Well…couldn’t have much worse happen in the first. Our three point shooting (when we get open which isn’t often) is off. That is the critical piece for ISU. Audi has essentially been neutralized by their hot shooting.

Sort of taken her out of the game on defense by rarely having anyone in the paint other than on cuts.

 

[acoustimac]

2nd quarter problem is now our inability to score when they don’t.

NorCal is a dry climate but it is raining 3s. On ISU. 7/8 is blistering but we haven't contested very well.

 

[NorthCyd]

Not only is Maryland red hot ISU can't hit ****. Maryland is just way more active overall.

 

[acoustimac]

Took Ryan out for her lack of D. Way too late on close outs for

Took her out because she has two fouls

 

[HFCS]

man, 90% from 3 involves some luck even if you just invite them to shoot open shots.

 

[legi]

If Audi is not gonna guard the perimeter and they are hitting 3s then why not try some zone.

 

[CYDJ]

Difference in 3s, pretty much difference in game.

 

[Cyched]

Like seeing Audi so active on the offensive glass

 

[swclone11]

Diew!

 

[GTO]

Nice to see Diew contributing.

[acoustimac]

Maryland is getting away with a moving screen on every possession. She’s blocking like she’s blocking out for a rebound

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Crooks is letting #14 shoot uncontested 3s and ISU is paying the price.

Important to note that Audi has been the whole offense to this point though.

 

[NorthCyd]

Kubek is abusing Audis inability to close out on the 3.

 

[Cloneman89]

Cripes we look lost and fumble fingered. This is a rout. Rotate to stop the 3 as Crooks can’t move

 

[acoustimac]

Trading twos for threes. That doesn’t work.

 

[carvers4math]

Maryland is getting away with a moving screen on every possession. She’s blocking like she’s blocking out for a rebound

Was just going to post this, wondered if it was still illegal.

Diew helping on both ends

 

[HFCS]

that shooter is 43% from season, still hard to imagine 10/10 game

 

[CYDJ]

So what about a box n 1. If Audi can't move more than 5 feet from the bucket, let her stay there and stop the psycho shooter. Anything but uncontested shooting practice would be preferable.
