As an avid Iowa fan… we really don’t deserve to be ranked, yet. One big win doesn’t define the season.
Hawkeye grad/fan here and I’m not surprised. What’s lost when you look at Iowa’s W/L record is that they’ve never really been blown out. They’ve been in every game until the end. The Ls are definitely Ls, don’t get me wrong, but they’ve been in contention in games with lots of good teams. I hope they are putting it all together now but I’m giving them some grace. It’s a young, rebuilding team.
As an Iowa fan, I think it is completely fair to keep them out
They still have a sub .500 conference record
And their remaining schedule is really tricky
3 home games one of which is against UCLA
and 4 road games at MINN, OSU, NEB, and MICH
3-4 may not even be enough to get them into the tournament
Out of 68 teams they should at least make the tournament. Are Big 10 or 12?
@@BrandonSmith-rb1bf Big 10.
I love these AP shows. It helps me keep up with college WBB. Thanks and keep them coming!
Iowa had a great win but they have bad losses too and those still matter. They lost 4 straight games to Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska and Oregon. Not 1 of those teams is currently ranked.
5 straight losses not four
Sure but a team like South Dakota gets 6 votes at 10-14 and 4-6 in conference play doesn't make any sense and she was saying that Iowa didn't even get a vote after that USC win. Also look at Iowa's loses:
Lost by 10 to Tennessee #19 that just beat UConn
Lost by 2 to Michigan State #17
Lost by 8 to Maryland #8
Lost by 5 to Illinois (always a tough game for them)
Lost by 10 to Indiana (another tough game for them)
Lost by 3 to Nebraska (again another tough conference game for them)
Lost by 1 to Oregon
This isn't a team that gets blown out by any means and yet not even 1 vote for beating USC and JuJu is wild.
@@jdneely9939 I said 4 straight games to such teams because Maryland who started the losing streak is ranked #16. Just emphasizing the they lost 4 straight to unranked opponents.
@JonJon-wf5yj yes I only agree the SD should not have received any votes, but 5 straight loses shouldn't get you any votes either. Especially when they were in the middle of the ranking to begin with. Harvard is 16-3 and only received 5 votes so whoever is in SD is paying someone off. I get these are rivalry games but at some point Iowa needed to blow these unranked teams out.
@@Momula101 I get what you are saying but Iowa isn't going to blow out those teams because they never have for the most part it has always been a dog fight in the Big 10 no matter who was the better team it's always a knock down drag out fight. I don't think Iowa is top 25 even after beating MN they have a lot to prove still but beating USC and JuJu was big.
Quita my Hawkeyes just have to do more is all, we beat ranked Minnesota, we'll probably get in there then.
Ranking doesn't mean much as you can see from yesterday's game.
March Madness only take 1 bad day or night.. Win or go home 🤷🤷
Not surprised Iowa is still unranked. Pollsters want to see more evidence of Iowa's improvement. Iowa still has UCLA, Ohio State and Michigan on their schedule. Rutgers, Wisconsin is in Iowa City and are both very winnable. Minnesota is a road should win game.
South Carolina gamecocks and Notre Dame are dominating their divisions . Both teams are entertaining to watch 🔥🔥🔥
SC is winning,but not dominating every game. They beat LSU by 10 at home while scoring final 2 in last 10 sec of game, and shooting 36% which is their lowest at home this yea. They also escaped Tn on the road, and had a hard struggle for just over 3 quarters ageist Alabama. So let’s not over hype this bro!
love your content always
You know I smiled as soon as this video started❤
Wondering if USC's ranking at #7 is based on who they'd likely beat or lose to. In other words, the people being polled basically believe USC would lose to LSU but would likely beat TCU.
7 losses, had a five game losing streak before three game win streak, 15-7 record with 5-6 conference record, can't beat half court press/trap n under seventy five percent free throw percentage, DOES THAT SCREAM TOP 25???? Iowa isn't even top thirty five n may not even be top forty five. Ya can't judge this team off Iowa's last two seasons, Iowa lost four starters n tons of experience n it's showed. Sry Iowa may not even good enough for the NCAA tournament til they learn to make free throws n for the love of gawd learn how to get the ball over half court when pressed or trapped after inbound.
They can't dribble. I'm suprised they found a way to beat California without being able to dribble. That should be the number one thing they focus on this off season
At least there's always the WNIT 😂😂
She said they didn't even get 1 vote yet you have South Dakota on there with a 10-14 and 4-6 in conference play record with 6 points? And all of Iowa's loses are less than 10 points most in single digits. Not saying they should be top 25 but not even a vote after beating USC and JuJu??????
Yes, please continue to do the polls.... also bring back the weekly game recaps, and.... "Quita. Loves Sports. It's in the name."
What really is so unfair is that USC (Cal) beat UConn and AP moves UConn UP to #5 from #6 and USC down to #7. WHY???
Because UConn didn’t get spanked by an unranked team
I think it's cause UConn has been crushing everyone. No joke they won the other day 101-50 something lol they use something called quad wins and then net ranking. It's kind of confusing.
Good win by Iowa but I don't think over the season they are top 25. I think they played their best game of the year and USC played their worst in the Lindsay Gotlieb era. They play that game elsewhere or in LA and USC blows them out.
You can't win on the road you are not a championship team can't use the excuse "if they played at home they would've won", you have to be able to win tough games on the road, period.
They definitely should stay unranked. Caitlin's aura helped them win 😂 😂
What are you trying to say? Lol
@BrandonSmith-rb1bf I'm saying that crowd was insane and they acted like a sixth man. It really shook up USC and made them play worse than they usually do.
Yep. Caitlin Clark effects is real. Go Hawks! Go Iowa!
Go Fever on May 4th at Carver Arena.
Nope, horrible USC Coaching by far the biggest reason and give the Iowa Coach her due. She lost 3 starting Seniors.
Hate to tell you this but Lee is hurt and not playing for Kansas St. right now!
Very sad, she's had a lot of injuries...
After watching the documentary Full Court Press, I’m kinda rooting for Kiki Rice and UCLA to win it all. Anything can happen in March. Iowa had a storybook run with heartbreaking loss the last 2 seasons. It was incredible to watch. I just wish Iowa could have won the championship one of those years. Caitlin is right, the NCAA tournament is the best 😊
Quita that is so crazy I said the same thing about beers. I said that I don’t see her fit with Oklahoma that is crazy to me.
Beers is overrated.
"Notre Dame eked out a win versus Louisville" ND won by 18 😂
Yesssss I missed these
USC moved down the rank after losing to Iowa but Iowa didn't get a single vote to move up. We all know why😂 Even during CC days at Iowa 'they' tried so hard not to give Iowa a better ranking. 🤣🤣
What?? When cc played they tried their best to keep them at least top five all season long what are u talking about
@@anthonytaylor7928I’m a Hawkeye fan and agree with you. They wanted us to do good because we bring viewership with our fan base. We still have our massive fan base and if we are on the bubble, no doubt we will make it in the tournament than most other teams.
hey quita
Texas and Oklahoma Sooners are not sec teams
Yes they are, starting with this season.
@RustyLou18 they are not built like sec teams
Texas is pretty niiiice...idk what the heck is going on over at Oklahoma, a mess.
I am shocked every Monday when I see USC at #2 bc I’m so use to seeing us at #1. My brain can’t take it.
We're #1 in the NET and that means a ton come tourney time!
Maybe if yall hadn’t struggled for most of the game against AUBURN, yall might be # 1 😂. You where you should be, # 2 behind the team that drubbed yall ! 😂
Great game yesterday but they've looked bad other games. There are at least 5 games that they lost that they should have won.
Iowa's players are good. The new inexperienced head coach is why iowa is inconsistent. But the substitution is getting better.
Yes, Jan is still learning the head coach role, and I agree, she's doing better. But in fairness to her, all of last year's starters except one are gone, and it's taking time to figure out the lineups. The returning players have also conceded in interviews that they didn't step up at first in taking on the leadership role that was previously done by Kate Martin and Caitlin Clark. The absence of leadership on the court has taken a toll, but they're figuring it out.
Make it to the big dance and those losses are meaningless. Just win. No credit for season’s work, other than position in the matrix. It gives young teams like Iowa a chance to get their act together and still have a chance.
USC lost to Iowa by 7, not 13. This was clearly Iowa’s national championship, as demonstrated by ticket prices for Caitlin Clark’s retirement. It was not a standard game.
Yeah i wish raegan would've went to lsu kim mulkey wouldve used her so well
Why should they be ranked just because they lucky up and beat USC who ever think that Iowa should be ranked is crazy!!!!
Iowa has shown themselves to be dangerous, but that's not the same as top twenty or twenty five. I would totally have dropped SC out of the top ten based on how truly, truly awful their first quarter was versus Iowa. I have NEVER seen anyone suck that badly in Carver Hawkeye Arena. Never.
What do you say about Iowa’s second quarter when USC went on a 17 to 1 run? You have to take the whole game not just one quarter.
👀
@@rluellamthat's pretty much all he said. I wouldn't take it too seriously. My perspective was after the first quarter was this isn't over. After the 2nd quarter, this is over. After 3, this isn't over. Late in the 4th , thank God this is over. USC played half a game, Iowa, 3/4 of the game.
@rluellam Iowa was not a tip five team. To play as badly as SC did in that first half and be a top five team is totally bad.
@ I think that's fair. I have not thought USC was as good this year as they were last year. Be that as it may, I don't see any team being dropped 6 spots for one loss--especially when it's an away game and especially when the other team had such an emotional lift, having a jersey retirement ceremony for their former star player. USC wasn't ready, but Iowa wasn't ready for the comeback push.
Cause they lost a bunch in a row (Iowa)😩❤️
UCLA is like the 3 headed monster. You've gotta control Kiki as shes running around making passes, cutting and hitting 3s, you've got to try and keep Lauren Betts out of the paint which seems impossible, then she turns around and blocks everyone's shot on the other end! Then they've got Dugalic, Barker and Gardiner if you want more fun😂 a scary scary team thats my favorite to win it all
68 teams qualify for the tournament played in March so being ranked in the Top 25 is not the Priority. IOWA still controls their own destiny in spite of being literally 12th in the Big Ten. However the road won't be easy as they will be playing most of those games on the Road. They can't finish under Even in the Big Ten and make the Tournament. So no, being 5-6, 12th in the Big Ten will hardly get you ranked.
UCLA Rice, 6'7 Betts & Jones...Go figure. #1
You didn’t even mention Janiya Barker, Angela Dugalic, Gabriella Jaquez, or the other quality players coming off the bench. Yeah, UCLA is number one.
@rluellam Yeah their bench is DEEP too
@@rluellam they could field a ranked team just from their bench 😂😂 imagine praying for subs and then you see Timea Gardiner and Janiah Barker checking in at the scorers table😂😂
I missed polls polls polls I do adore 🥹
Thats wrong iowa aught to be. At least 23-25
I'm a Bruin alum but a big Hawkeye fan. After losing five straight...many of them by single digits. But they collapsed late in games. I think Iowa needs to re-earn the trust of those being polled.
We don’t want to be ranked.
Lol
Notre dame is my favorite team
Quita did you have a script or was this video off the cuff? You seemed to repeat yourself a lot and kind of ramble from time to time. I also like your shorter videos with a script. They pack more of a punch. And thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to make these videos for us. 😊
USC lost by 7 points not 13 . your unwatchable .
