Great team coming together here! Jan Jensen is tapping into the talent in this group - allowing everyone to get some time on the floor. Amazingly, they are all working well together for such a young team! Great fundamentals through solid coaching! Go, Hawks!
This is the type of game those old school coaches dream of. Iowa only took 14 threes and all 4 of their 3PM were by 1 player (McCabe). They had 32 FTs and were 87% from the line. 5 players in double figures and not a single player had 10+ FGA. They only committed 8 turnovers for the whole game and shot 50% or higher in every single quarter. Toledo got absolutely cooked.
I maintain my original thoughts on this team. They'll win slot of games of the 80-85 to 70-75 scores. This Iowa team wnt have the scoring power of last few years but it's defense is better then last few years, they'll offset each other so I think Iowa wins most games low to mid eighties against low mid seventies. My prediction is Iowa wins at minimum seventeen games n makes it to sweet sixteen this season.
@@Primus54 I'd heard she was a 3-point specialist, but c'mon. To her credit in the news conference she mentioned trying to be more versatile to open up the offence
@ Good for her. I think she can be a force at the bucket in transition as her confidence grows. She’s always seemed a bit timid to me, but that might also be because of the role she was given under Bluder. In the few outings I’ve seen so far this season, it is obvious ball handling by the new starting lineup has made a leap forward in improvement.
@@chessmentor63 Iowa did lead the country in scoring while also being top 3 in field goal percentage in each of her first two seasons. With Caitlin Clark drawing so much attention and McCabe shooting 45% on 3s for her career so far it made way more sense for her to shoot 3s than any other shot. Bluder was really smart about how she used her. For a 45% 3 point shooter the equivalent 2 point percentage is 67.5% and she wouldn't get remotely close to that. So anything that isn't an uncontested layup is likely a worse shot than a 3. Her teammates with greater size are better suited for taking 2 point shots. Now that Clark is gone maybe her role will be a little different. But it would still make sense for the vast majority of her shots to be 3s.
@zachcampbell1520 It takes two players combined to put up CC's numbers. I hope they do great, but not really impressed yet. Will see once they start big ten play.
@@FURPRONOUNSIt's tough to replace those seniors, but I think this team is Sweet 16 material. They definitely have that potential. Lucy Olson and Sydney Afolter are aggressive, McCabe is lethal from outside, and Iowa has some talented size now. I like seeing Hannah playing forward and moving around more. They are still fun to watch.
@@medmuscleNobody can replace CC, but the other seniors have been replaced. I hope they have a great season. It's hard to tell until they play a legit team.
Yeah, but they were good b4 Clark. They've been to the elite 8 before her. Iowas been good for the last 20 years. I don't know if they'll win or not. It will depend on how they can handle the physicality.
@jennahawk12 out of 6 big ten titles, they won 3 of those because of Clark. Only made the nation title game 2 times & 2 was with Clark. 3 final 4 twice with CC. CC put Iowa on the map. Iowa was decent before CC. Iowa has been good for the last 6 years. Iowa had a 9 year slump before. Not a big bb powerhouses until CC & Gustafson. I hope they prove me & everyone else wrong.

Tons of talent on Hawkeyes, and you can see the talons are getting sharper!
O'Grady's passes though . . . 😮❤❤❤
beautiful looks to her teammates!!! that's gonna be huge down the line if she keeps that up.
Incredible interior passing. And defense! A very good Drake team on Sunday, in their building. Go Hawks!
IOWA's ball movement is craaazy good. Olsen will be needed when they play the top teams.
This group is fun to watch. Wish they were on tv.
Looking good… BIG FAN.
Iowa ball is just beautiful. Great team chemistry.

Why this game not on Big+?
Big Ten Network is better, and those of us with cable don't have to pay extra for it (like we have to do for each additional streaming channel)..😊
Olsen looks really good!!!
lets go hawkeyes
This is a top 25 team
It's crazy that they are not ranked in the top 10
Wow!
At some point AOG and Heiden will need to be on the court at the same play. Maybe against a bigger SEC team in the tourney or against OSU
The score is like college vs high school 😂
And not one iowa player had more than 20 points & only one player made 3's.
Is this latest game in iowa???
Yes!

When hannah plays in her afro puffs 😍 i still can't believe iowa is not in ❤❤the top 25🤬
Only McCabe's 2nd 2-point FG of her career?!?
Isn’t that an amazing stat?

UConn lsu Carolina Iowa going beat you 💪
Lmao. Iowa won't even win the big ten.
@@FURPRONOUNSthey’ll be aight. They’re actually more lethal now because the scoring is more spread out. They’re going to be sneaky good.

caitlin who?
There's not one player on this years team that come close to CC's skills. This year's team will not win the big team championship or tournament.
Well, this comment is just stupid...
Get a hold of yourself…
@@FURPRONOUNSthey will make the final four. Book it
No player can match CC
This team won't even win the big ten tournament or championship. Nobody is close to having CC's skill.
says who ? 🤡you ? lol
Maybe not. But they're going to be a lot better than people seemed to think. Love this squad!
Yeah, but they were good b4 Clark. They've been to the elite 8 before her. Iowas been good for the last 20 years. I don't know if they'll win or not. It will depend on how they can handle the physicality.
