Iowa Women’s Basketball | Indiana Fever | Some Iowa State Basketball | The Occasional NBA Take
Iowa needs to keep upping the pace. It is their biggest advantage against this Iowa St team. Iowa St doesn’t want to play fast

I know it was effective, but that hectic, full court press, 1 pass and shoot style of basketball TN plays just isn’t for me

Nonetheless, the Iowa women have to learn to take better care of the basketball. I think they learn a lot from tonight.

Iowa vs TN

Misc B1G football take:

If Wisconsin ultimately loses this game at home today to MN:

-they fail to make a bowl game for first time since 2001

-they drop to 1-3 against MN in their last 4 meetings (were 16-1 against MN from ‘04-‘20)

Big yikes

Iowa WBB averaging 17.8 assists per game so far this season.

Down from last year but still good enough to rank 40/353 D1 schools

Given they lost the greatest passer in the history of basketball from last year - this is really quite an impressive stat

Iowa WBB take - I’ve seen a few takes on Lucy Olsen’s production being down from last year at Villanova.

Yes, scoring is lower - 23.3 vs 17.4

However, this Iowa team is clearly better than Vill

Scoring efficiency is up in nearly every category

And assists up by 1.6/game.

A lot to like.

Really liked what I’ve seen from the Iowa Women’s bball team so far this year.

Lucy Olsen was a fantastic pickup.

Stuelke, O’Grady, and Kylie are all improved from last year.

A lot of bench production from their freshmen class.

Going to be a fun team to watch this season.
