I've made this argument myself for plenty of games.

This isn't a game to make the refs your chief complaint.
Have you read any of my other comments? Check 'em, you'll see I also blamed it on stupid turnovers by our great PG and terrible FT shooting by our usually decent Center. But the refs still sucked ****. That can be true at the same time. Addy should not have had to sit as much as she did, for instance. Just awful officiating to go along with a not very good performance.

Think after this one, Wilson and Ryan need to swap minutes
This. Reagan looks athletic. They’ll be growing pains, but she adds another dimension. Let’s face it, on top of what we just saw, iowa out hustled us too. Really scrapped for the win. That’s kind of disappointing. There for thevtaking.

Big scissors party in Iowa city tonight. We really gave this to them.
Over all this was very bad basketball. Honestly these teams look like 7-10 seeds

Also, do we have a strength and conditioning coach?

Our players are afraid to shoot.
Quick thing - this is a big one. It seems like everyone wants to ditch it off for someone else to save them - desperately trying to get it to Brown or Crooks especially, or Ryan if not, to shoot when times get tough.

You know what the logical answer to bring the ball up since Ryan can execute a chest pass? The girl that inexplicably sat for 20 minutes straight.

Bill is really struggling with in game adjustments this year. Hasn’t seemed like an issue in the past, but he sure isn’t pulling the right strings when his team needs him.
It’s because he’s stubborn and wants to run everything through Crooks. We saw it with Carleton, Joens, and now Audi. The game has passed him, he has not adapted to what is now the guards game.

Yep, until this issue is resolved our program won't reach the next level in Women's Hoops and quite frankly will probably go down a level.
No it won't. We've been at the same level for several years. Which has been very good.

The refs didn't sit Addy the entire 3rd quarter. That was Bill.

I still find it really weird that Fox plays Roundball Rock for their college basketball broadcasts.

If we want to shut Iowa and the media up about how awesome they are, we should try beating them.

BF offense has been stale since Ashley Jones. Audi goes for nearly 30 and we lose? Inexcusable.
