WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

Iowa women lose by 51 pts yesterday and move up 2 spots in the polls. Only in America.
 
UConn doing a similar beatdown on Villanova. ‘Nova shooting threes like ISU did v ASU. Wide open looks just not going in. Put up 21 of them in the first half making 4.
 
They beat Illinois by 6.
Clearly you didn't watch the game. Iowa was up 10 at the end of the 1st quarter. Up by 14 at half. Up by 22 at the end of the 3rd. Iowa was up by 21 with around 3-4 minutes left in the game when Jensen pulled the starters and emptied the bench. Illinois' HC kept her starters in the entire game and they went on a 15-point run in the last 3-4 against our backups to pull within 6 by the end of the game. The game was never close. Iowa dominated.

So UCONN is easily the pick to win the NC. The only 1 seed that seems "vulnerable" is Texas. Vanderbilt and LSU could make a run at it depending on which 1 seed they get paired with.

Yup. Watched a few games that day and caught this one. Was thinking for a moment that she had pulled her starting core a minute or more too soon. The previous game with Illini was a "true" five point win. And against the Gophers, who also only beat Illinois by 5.

The Illini are currently projected as 7 seed.

UConn heavy favorite. Only other team with a chance is UCLA. Other Final 4 teams will almost certainly be two of Texas, South Carolina or LSU. Maybe Vanderbilt but I'm always a little leery of teams that are so reliant on one player. Yes, ironic I know.

If anyone comes within 20 points of UCONN before the final four, I will be surprised.
 
What do you think a rivalry is. I hate Iiwa fans who tell me they cheer for Iiwa Stste when not playing Iowa, I call BS, they are just being condescending. I hate Iowa. I do not cheer for Iiwa, I went to Iiwa Stste did not grow up in iiwa, why would I cheer or care for anything Iowa? After all they are a school the wears ANF with no farm school pure BS to get random people to cheer for Iowa.

I went to Iowa St….now what ?! I hate people that take a sporting event so seriously. So there you go.
 
I'm assuming you're aware it's silly to compare turnovers 1:1 when two players vary widely on minutes played.

2025-26 Deal: 4.6 turnovers per 40 minutes, 6.3 turnovers per 100 possessions, 25.4% turnover percentage

2023-24 Brown: 3.9 turnovers per 40 minutes, 5.4 turnovers per 100 possessions, 21.9% turnover percentage

Absolutely I think it’s stupid. You should probably backtrack where that came from… Never in 100 years would I have compared Addie Brown to Addie deal..that was your compatriot that did that.
 
Lol you are hilarious. I only take small pleasure in it because I know there are a contingent of fans in your fanbase who think there is some reality where Iowa could become a blue blood in the sport like a South Carolina, UCONN, or UCLA... Andrew Downs literally just mentioned it on a recent Iowa Everywhere podcast so I know it's a belief or hope that's out in the universe.

Just keep on dreaming, folks.

No big deal friend…long ago I realized some people are just gonna be bitter. For example, you would’ve said the same thing about Indiana football a couple years ago lol now what?
 
You are on an Iowa State site, 99% of us wish the Hawks lose every game. It's the nature of a rivalry.

We beat Uowa this year, head to head we are better, scoreboard says so.

Who said you weren’t?! And there is no way in hell 99% of Iowa State fans hate Iowa… I run into Iowa State fans out here in Chicago land all the time. Some are douche canoes ((just like many Iowa fans)most really aren’t..

I used to hate Notre Dame, Duke, the ACC, the SEC, etc. etc. it is an extremely useless emotion at 55 years of age to be upset and pissed off and always posturing about a sporting event…

You do you, but you don’t have to feel bad for me because I’ve evolved into something less caustic

Calling some of our posters douches.... classy!
Personal attacks... you so represent the iowa fanbase after all

Yeah, that kind of stuff doesn’t work with me tons of bitterness on this board. I’ve been nothing but pleasant and here come the haters….

I like Iowa State and if this was an Iowa board and they were throwing a fit about Iowa State I’d call them on their BS as well…. It’s honestly ignorant, but this will really frost you, generally speaking. I find ALL Iowans to be similar regardless of fan bases and a lot of them are like this…

U be u brother…. i’m not gonna take it nearly that seriously. As it turns out nor did the national media considering they moved Iowa up two spots after they lost by 50 points that had to piss off a lot of Iowa State fans lol
