Michigan up 10 in the 3Q, would be great for Iowa to take another loss.

After ten games RU up one game over MD, 2 games over Iowa, 3 games over Purdue/Northwestern.

CVS should study film to see how Joyner-Kersey (a great tactical coach) did it with a rebuilding team. We’re liable to see Iowa again in the tourney. After our loss CVS said “we just didn’t have an answer for Gustafason.” She had 27, but under average against Michigan.

This is awesome! Very good news. Now we need to take care of business against Minnesota and then we can turn our focus to Maryland.

I don't disagree that Coach might want to look at game films on teams that have beaten Iowa, but Michigan beat them at Michigan and Iowa has played much better at home this year than on the road.

Who is Joyner Kersey? Barnes-Arico is their head coach. From just the box score, seems like Michigan didn't contain Iowa as much as they simply out-scored them. RU went 4-25 against Iowa from 3-pt range, but hit nearly 66% of their shots from 2-pt range, which indicates to me the team wasn't patient enough on offense.

Ooops. I meant Barnes-Arico. Respect her coaching since her St. John's days.

(Brain freeze, got my hyphenated-name sports personalities mixed up.)

This is pretty surprising. Michigan is in the bottom half of the conference at 4-6. I wish we had them at home and Wisconsin on the road but it is what it is. Anyway, RU's focus has to be on Minnesota, which hasn't done well in conference but, IIRC, was ranked earlier in the season.

 

[bac2therac]

huge result because Iowa doesnt have the toughest schedule the rest of the way.

Wow, that's big. If we can get the sweep against Maryland, the regular season crown is ours for the taking. We'd be two losses ahead of Maryland with the 2-0 head to head advantage. If Iowa stumbles one more time, we'd have to lose three more games to not finish in 1st place. That #1 seed could be big (no pun intended) as we'd only have to face one of Iowa/Maryland in the B1G tournament.

I guarantee you Gustafason will be shutdown the next time Rutgers plays vs Iowa. CVS and staff will take care of that. What I am concerned about is one of their bench players will step up with an outstanding performance. I also think Gustafson will be in foul trouble. We will go after her and this time get fouls called on her.
