#14 RU vs #17 Iowa Game Thread 1/23/19

[RUTrack94]

10 for 12 ... ouch

 

[RUTrack94]

Watching the game from the box score it’s like 1 on 5 ... is the Iowa player the national player of the year?

 

[RUTrack94]

12 for 15

 

[RUTrack94]

RU is 17 for 25 on 2 pointers

 

[bac2therac]

cant turn it over there...had it to 1 now its 5.....53-48....end of third

 

[KevH]

Gut check time

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

Roll reversal...WIN THE 4TH!

 

[RUTrack94]

RU down 53-48 after the 3rd ... still in it despite supergirl from Iowa and the refs ... only watching the box score ... is Iowa good, or is it just one great player having a great game?

There is a decent chance she could be. She is definitely a first team All American.

end of 3, RU trails 53-48. Iowa getting way too many easy layups, RU struggling w their outside shooting. Gustafson w 26 points all on 1 foot layups, she has very soft hands, good footwork, and Iowa knows how to feed her down low.

 

[DennisHajekRC84]

48 PTS? THATS NOT 2019 RU WOMEN'S GAME . Knight Time ladies!

 

[RUTrack94]

Stop shooting 3s!!!! 4 for 20

Iowa is good because of Gustafson. She is having her normal game and they have one other player in double figures who is a decent player.

 

[RUTrack94]

Ugh ... 56-48 ... team not going to pull it out ... looks like RU is playing hard, just a tough ask to beat Iowa on the road

 

[suzebe]

I’m listening on WRSU and am having a really hard time following the action. Maybe I’m just not as familiar with this team as I have been in past years?

 

[RUTrack94]

Fouls now 18-7

 

[bac2therac]

it comes down to whether RU can score...they have to score almost all the time because Gustafeson is that good

 

[RUTrack94]

Fouls 19-7

 

[RUTrack94]

Yeah .., fouls 19-8 ... RU only down 4

 

[RUTrack94]

Super G is 13 for 16 ...

 

[Abro1975]

6:30 left in the game and RU just cannot stop Gustafson from getting 1 foot layups. She has 30 points on 14-17 shooting close up layups. 60-54 Iowa leads.

 

[ScarletteK80]

This will take a small miracle to come back. We look very frustrated.

WRSU coverage was a tough listen. Switched to Iowa Hawkeye Nation.... Iowa homers, but a professional broadcast.

 

[RUTrack94]

How are the guards for Iowa? Any way to attack them and prevent getting the ball to Super G?

 

[bac2therac]

cannot keep turning it over...wasted possessions

the problem is the offense

 

[KevH]

Super G is 13 for 16 ...

We don't have the bigs that can stop her like we did in the past.

 

[RUTrack94]

Amazing only down by 4!!!!!!

 

[bac2therac]

60-56...here we go

 

[RUTrack94]

Fouls are 20 - 9

 

[KevH]

That sideline reporter is brutal.

 

[RUTrack94]

Damn ... RU doesn’t get to play Iowa at home

 

[bac2therac]

get a stop please....62-58

 

[bac2therac]

giving them 3 rebounds...awful and now going to line...that possession was huge

 

[bac2therac]

must score every possession but a turnover...oh well

 

[KevH]

Risky pass

 

[bac2therac]

two chances, no buckets...63-58 2;30

 

[RUChoppin]

Fouls are 20 - 9

Feels like the 1999 Elite Eight game vs Purdue, I think it was

 

[bac2therac]

63-60..come on do this

 

[Scarletwoman]

Fouls are 20 - 9

The women decided to give up and I will to.
