ISU basketball looks to be brutal for both teams. At least the women have a Big 12 POTY candidate in Carlton. But she can't do it by herself.
I don't put much stock in these in state games. Part of the problem is Bridget is trying to do too much herself. She is'not point guard.
It's early but we might look to be as bad away from Hilton as we were last year when we were 3-9 away from the friendly confines.
That was an ugly game
These in-state games against an average at best UNI team are games we should be winning. There is no excuse to lose to UNI. I don't care if we are playing in Cedar Falls, this is pathetic. It is going to be a long year when we most likely lose to two MVC teams. We all know Drake will be out to make a point against us in DSM since that will be their biggest game of the year.
As a season ticket holder, this is the first year where if I miss games I won't be disappointed.
Playing without our only senior, our main ball handler, with 3 or 4 newcomers on the floor in their 2nd game on the road. I'm usually the one upset....we spent all week seeing all over'social media high praise for our frosh, maybe a loss will do some good.
Wow.. some people need to calm down. this is what happens when we play three freshmen. We need Emily back as soon as possible. Bridget is ok at getting her own shot, but is much better if someone else can set her up. When no one else on the team can get their own shot, it lets the defense focus on Bridget.
The one freshmen that needs to play more is Kristin Scott in my opinion. however if she seals her defender off on that last shot by Bridget I bet Bridget makes it.

Seriously?? Based on one game early in the season and we are not even at full strength?? and an in state rivalry?
9-16 from the line. Not characteristic of our mantra to make more than the other team attempts.
Scott did play 30 minutes so not sure there are a lot more minutes for her. She rebounds better that Bride so far and is going to be our leading blocker. Actually looking pretty good two games into her career, better than Kennedy-H or Burkhall, IMHO
Hadn't looked at the box score yet.. that's good she got 30 minutes. Didn't seem like it when watching live
Poor free throw shooting and a mediocre night from the 3 pt line did us no favors.
Buckley - by far our best player last year - leaving early obviously hurts. Really, no one else can break down a defense, or even dribble drive.
Disagree about Jada being the best player. I for one am excited to no longer have a point guard who every time just drove to the middle of the lane for no reason and no plan only to stop ( in the middle of a congested lane) and only then start looking for someone to pass to.
I really liked Jada, wish she could have played SG instead of PG though, but Emily seemed to be in Fennelly's dog house since she got here, so he played Jada at point.
And I still think Bridget was the best player last year.
Yes, I'm sure she would have. Not sure why but Emily is definitely NOT one of BF's favorites, she should have started all year last year.
