Molly D is a rockstar ✨
She's like a scrappy pit bull who shoots instead of bites
Molly Molly by golly miss Molly!! She rocked it..happy for her!! 😊
She holds back, like Caitlin - Bluder should let them all play their game to the max
In my mind, Molly is the most improved player from last year.
She was a star player at Central Michigan, so she always had the talent. I think she needed time to find her place in the Iowa system, and that appears to have happened as she has played an increasingly important role on the team.
I was critical of her in the beginning of the season, but boy was I wrong about her! She’s a bonafide player! Then I checked out some clips of her on her previous college she transferred from. Very good player!
The headband!!
YES was about to say that
AND KATE MARTIN... always steady...
UConn fan here. First of all that was a great game, both teams left it all out there, Clarke is simply amazing, her range is just unbelievable and she does not get enough credit for her passing. Iowa as a team is underrated, it's not just Clarke, she has a very good supporting cast. Mland just would not go away. Hopefully the top teams will get through the first 2 rounds without any upsets in March. Sweet 16 and on should provide games like this one, many teams with a lot of fire power. Conference tourneys should be good games also.
Molly is AWESOME. LUV watching her. Bluder has 5 girls any time who are superstars.
Almost don't recognize Molly without her headband, she is a jewel!!!!!

@@mattalbrecht7471 hi Matt, did you come out of the closet yet?
@@williamkrejca4641, lol
Way to go Lady Hawkeyes! Caitlin is clutch again, and is such a great role model. Always gives praise to her teammates. Love to see them go all the way this year.
Molly D is awesome. Something really cool about her.
She's tough and scrappy but like the entire IA team, solidly technical
@JbethGirl yep, Scrappy D fs.
Congratulations to Coach Bluder on a Fantastic win over Maryland. She IS a phenomenal Coach
🤩😇🥰 Molly had a great game and came in hot at the right time.
Cait was Cait -- marvelous as always. Molly played a monster game. I thought she was the difference.
Molly, Caitlin, and our girl Hannah had one hell of a game tonight.
Clark is simply the most exciting and talented woman to play the game. Nobody even comes close.
Surely, you jest! Not even Angel??? (haha)
@@richardhayman4868 who?
I typically don't watch basketball, except maybe a few games during March Madness. I now check the Iowa women's schedule every week, so I can catch all remaining games of CC's college career. It's exciting to watch how well the entire team plays together
Molly love watching you play. Go for it! You have talent and a big heart.
Molly, You Got Game!!
One day... after Caitlin's playing days are over, I see her going into coaching and doing very well... she is so mature, so knowledgeable about the game... I love how articulate she is!!!
Coach or an analyst easily.
She disects the game very well.
Caitlin *
Just a word of caution regarding Caitlin and coaching. The best players don’t always make the best coaches even when they know the game exceedingly well. Not a prediction, just an observation.
@@user-rg1nm5ou9o yawn
I've wondered why none of the Iowa players seem to be able to model Caitlin. I don't expect them to be as good, but I think Caitlin's floor vision could be modeled.
Mighty Molly! She really the key person as always every game. 💪 Congrats Hawkeyes team Iowa all the way!
You guys rock! It was close there a few times but you guys pulled it out, congrats.
Molly, my family lives in Southern California and haven't missed a game yet this year. We love you
Caitlin is the goat, and she can't and won't be denied, period.
Molly has been and is great, she never forces anything, she goes where the game takes, she is always on the move, she boxes out 100% of time, she is a very good defender, great rebounder, and very determined, she moves great with and without the ball, she is a main component of the team. I love watching this team play
Iowa missed 12 shots right at the rim, 12! That might be a record, even for them. This isn’t the first time this has happened
It was ridiculous. They actually played a really bad game
could have won this game by almost 30.
Agree. Losing is one thing. But giving up 10 and 15 pnt leads and trying to play inside against bigger bullies vs their own game is a no go!
@@benkistler2405 I think they played poorly for some extended periods-missing so many easy shots and I'm surprised at the rebounding stats because it seemed like in the 3rd qtr they were throwing the ball up and running back with no attempt at a second shot-they weren't even trying for the off rebound. Anyway-overall the played well enough to win but not sure they can win it all playing like that in the tournament.
@@haroldrichardson8807 I see what you’re saying all the time. You’re right, they will not make it very far if Caitlin has to do all the scoring. It’s time to shake up that lineup before they get to the tournament. Hanna, when playing the five keeps committing that same mortal sin of bring the ball down around her waist before going up. She may not be as good as I thought she was going to be, time will tell.
The Hawkeyes have got to stop blowing big leads.18 point lead and they let Maryland tie the game. Also need to make more of their shots, they missed 5 shots in a row that should have been 10 points. Need all the players besides Clark to contribute. Molly tonite was great. Sydney was awesome getting rebounds.
Alright coach! 🤨 🙄
The Hawkeyes don't do well against athletic aggressive teams. They run and gun but get hammered on defense. I'd like to see Hanna and another big with their three fast guards in "certain" situations.
You mean they missed some shots? So, they are NOT perfect. Oh my! Get real, you dufous!
Iowa missed easy shots near the basket, so it was a big win on the road considering.
if you say so Coach.
I love the lady Hawkeyes! You have Caitlin who is just Caitlin what more can you say. Coach Bluder is one of the top coaches of all times what more can you say. I think Molly Davis is AWESOME! Molly has Caitlin qualities when they need her. Molly is special. Kate Martin, Hannah, Sydney , and the rest of the supporting cast are GREAT! Marshall is one hell of a defender who clamps down on the other teams best players. What a team. I am proud of coach Bluder, Caitlin, Molly, and all the Lady Hawkeyes!
These reporters need to stop asking Caitlin the same old tired questions. It's like watching a rewind of the last post game. She should just preprint the same answers she gives every night on a sign and just hold them up a the appropriate time lol. Molly played one hell of a game tonight and was asked one question. Bluder is the coach. She didn't get one question. They were actually asking Caitlin what she said to the team in the huddle. They need to get others more involved. Love the Hawkeyes!
Agreed. Molly made some great plays in the first half and always plays with passion and heart. Very disappointed that only one question was directed her way.
I don't disagree, but there was only one reporter from Iowa out there. Most of these questions are coming from Baltimore/D.C. area reporters who only get one or two opportunities a season to see Caitlin and ask questions. As well as Molly Davis played, that's not the story for the Baltimore/D.C. media. Same for the Chicago media during the Northwestern game. If you notice, there is more balance in whom questions are directed toward for the games in Iowa City.
I understand that but they could atleast try to think of different questions. These questions have been asked and answered multiple times. They even do it after Iowa home games. @@mattcoss8380
Caitlin is the LeBron of women's college bb. Most attendees are there to see her play. She will always get most of the questions, all the coaches and players understand it and are used to it by now.
@@davidmathewson1088 I think you meant Jordan lol
Molly has been a gem this year! As stated, she is playing more than last year but I love to see Molly get the recognition that she truly deserves.
This is Molly Davis's last season, I hope she gets a Championship, I will also say that I will follow Molly Davis in the WNBA.
Catlin had a lot of key assists in the fourth quarter. She only had five points but did other things.
Molly is going to be the star of the playoffs.
Molly D picked it up when we needed momentum. Hit a slump and they had a lot of momentum, Molly was my favorite tonight. Marshall couldn't hit tonight. Great effort on the rebounds! They were getting away with some elbows and basically mugging Stuelke down low.
Molly D playin like Spud webb!!! Go Hawks!!
Love that Molly Davis smallest player, underrated
Molly Davis and Martin are the only players other than Clark who really have all around ball skills.
I think Syd is good and Hannah is only a freshman and will be great I think with more time. I'm betting Hannah will be there main go to in a couple years but she does need to get better for them to win.
@@haroldrichardson8807 Hannah is a sophomore, but yes a young player and she has improved a lot since last year. Syd is so good!
Hannah needs a more consistent mid range shot and she’s got to improve her foul shooting.
But her rebounding, defense, and rim running are outstanding.
@@written12 I don’t see Iowa having enough of a support cast to go all the way. Clark gets virus the ball in such a great place low post but not enough conversion. Iowa is really dangerous though. Prob top 3
Molly has learned, as a short player, to shoot short runners when driving into the lane. Gabby has rarely ever even tried to do that. Gabby has limited herself to wide-open threes, that's it.
Molly would make a great coach. Uses every bit of her ability and plays within herself. And can sit through idiotic questions that rudely ignore her for 13 minutes.
They also ignore Bluder. It's basically the same questions to Clark every press conference. The journalists should just read the transcript.
@@Consultant22i like how mulkey handles press post games..she has her players answer questions..then the players leave and she answers questions..its just very smooth that way..
@@Consultant22I guess they figure if they ask Clark the Same question enough, she'll change her answers!! Lol
Both Bluder and Molly were fidgeting and looking up at the ceiling tiles lol. They even asked Caitlin what she said to the team in the huddle lol. she should have deferred the question to Coach. Call it a post game assist if you will.
Good coaching by Lisa Bluder by pulling Gabby Marshall for Sydney Alforter with about 5 minutes left in the game. If Gabby is having an off night, which has truthfully been the norm; give more minutes to Sydney Alforter. I love Gabby Marshall she takes good shots, but we need better productions if we want to win.
I have been posting the same thing. She seems out of place as the rest of the starters continue to grow, lay it all on the line. Gabby's issue is too much watching, afraid to make a mistake, shows up to run a 800 meter race at a 100 meter race event.
Molly is a baller , if you've watched you can tell.
Clark is very mature for her years
Great team with a great player but I think in the tournament the fact that they don’t have a good post player is really going to hurt them! They miss a lot of shots right under the basket!
Three being interviewed but the sportsreporters ignore Molly and the coach in asking their questions.
Teams have made runs on Iowa because of senseless turnovers, and wide open missed bunnies at the rim. The 5s have plenty of good looks at the basket, they just amazingly blow the shots. have to shire that up if they want a national title.
i hope there will be more plays for molly to score points
I notice Caitlin wincing after the game where she got elbowed in the ribs.... Please have it looked at by the trainer first then the medical staff.... We do not want you in a day or two have problems of cracked ribs or a bruised liver where you could end up in the hospital!!!....... Molly are you ready to start your new enterprise of selling black head bands, just joking great job, Lady!!!!!
Yes, Caitlin is great, but Molly girl you are awakening! Good game ladies!
Molly is a a game-changer.
Still wanting more minutes from OGrady
I agree and she's a class act
Why wasn't Kate Martin there? She had a huge game. Double Double! Kate is really a guard ,but the only go-to player when they need a bucket in the post. Her and Caitlyn, great two- man game.
Kate is at a lot of the post game press conferences. She is the 2nd best player on the team. If the center did not miss so many close shots, then the center would be the 2nd best. To reach the Final Four this year, the center position (all 2 or 3 of them) needs to make more close shots, Molly needs to always be aggressive like this game, and Gabby needs more bench time. The blueprint is there for a Final Four run.
I agree with you partially, Gabby needs to get her shot straightened out. When she can knock down the three ball Iowa is practically unbeatable. Last year s run thru the Big Ten and Ncaa tournament is proof of that.
“MOLLY D” BIG TIME GAME
What are the sheets in front of the three interviewees? It's not stat sheets and is written in paragraphs.
Molly is great ,the fans were for CC not IOWA i was at rutgers game 2 years ago and this year 2021 stadium was empty this year almost packed all CC
Good game, ladies! Obviously, we still have opportunities for growth and we need to, individually and collectively, continue pushing for that growth. On a really positive note, we took several stiff jabs and multiple crushing body blows in a really hostile environment from a team that was playing for its life...and we came out with the win. I thought the pregame speech from Coach Frese to her team was a little desperate, and they came out and played like there was no tomorrow. We should expect that the rest of the way; we are a signature win for ANYONE. Go Hawks!
Those ladies are exhausted. Do we really need all the mindless questions?
Kate and Hannah were stifled during the first half, but I knew that couldn't last.
Good Golly Miss Molly🎉
Great rebounding thats where its at for y'all right now
LET Caitlin and Molly and the bench play their game - if the MEN, Woods, Elway, Jordan, Curry can play boldly, the women should too!!!
😮 I like the way they were trained not to complain about the poor officiating. Otherwise they would be labeled complainer.
Lisa Bluder better give more attention to her other players.Not enough recognition to her other players who are excellent at what they do.
Caitlin in marching toward the late and great Pete Marovich's scoring record.
Pete averaged more than 44 points per game 😊
Pete put college basketball on the map before Bird and Magic did. He was unique and stood out with his skills. Pistol Pete was his nickname, but dazzled with his dribbling. He was a showboat, a hot dog, a ball hog, but became accepted in the 70s and part of the 80s. M Jordan was a ball hog, glory seeker at times also. Now more emphasis is put on team. Lebron is a team player almost at a fault at times. Whereas Caitlin has just the right blend of ball/shot dominance and team play.
Maryland was on a three game losing streak coming into this game. No way were any of their players, coaches or fans in the mood to lose again. But…they did.
Hawks weren’t having what they were trying to serve up tonight.
Biggest win of the season to date, imo.
Why does Bluder seem upset or distracted in this press conference?
Without Davis, Iowa would likely have at least 5 or 6 losses.
Clark has been put on a high pedestal what she is doing Kelsey plumb already done so Clark would have to be on a really gd team n the wnba to keep her name alive not to mention Iowa gonna hav to win the whole thing now cuz that's what's expected when u put this one player so high up
Why does Bluder have TWO bottles of water in front of her?
Gus Johnson’s new nickname… “Gus the Cuss”
Caitlin is subtly wincing and tending to sore ribs or belly presumably from that blow to her body in the game. Will be interesting what news if any comes out about an injury.
Molly is the best player.
I dig Molly D! she low key kills you (assassin) the entire game. like if coaches would stop obsessing over stopping CC and factor in other players i.e. Molly D and Kate Martin killing! you the ENTIRE game thence maybe said coaches would seem less clueless. Ya CC may drop 41pts but when Martin, Molly, Skulky, Gabby ect. r constantly KILLING you (easy street) and the final score is in the 90's! That tells me flat out overall bad coaching in general not just Iowa. Like Iowa is this good their schedule should have been rearranged like u gotta play a west coast team this year like USC or UCLA. Iowa had no business playing Rutgers like that was so pathetic CC literally looked bored on the court.
stop serving that evil water.
Iowa will not go so far. Their big aren't that good. They miss too many layups and bunnies. Hannah is looking weak.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Gabby should come off the bench not a 30 min. Player low skill player
22 takes 29 shots, misses layups, plays ZERO D, pitches temper tantrums on the court when she doesnt get her way and you guys continue to praise her as a role model and a benevolent team player?! 😂
You have no idea what you’re talking about. Go find a hobby.
All valid points. However she did have two blocks and couple steals. She does rebound pretty well too. But you do make valid points.
I forgot to mention, she also leads her team in turnovers per game at 4.3 with 94 on the season! Next highest is 37!
You forgot leads the country in scoring, 2nd in assists and they have 2 losses on the season. And yes, she is fiery competitor on the court and a terrific role model off the court. You hate blinds you to obvious things. Is Steph curry, Steve Nash and Luka Doncic known for their d?? It is ok if you don’t like Caitlin but than don’t watch or comment on her videos ..the sold out arenas and nationally tv ratings tell you she is taking the women’s game to level never dreamed of….sorry you can’t just appreciate a dynamic talent…
@@Show_time3 🤣 that's cute. If I don't like or agree with something the I shouldn't watch or share my opinion...she is a phenomenal shooter! I'm merely saying that she is not the total package and to compare her as a college player to a pro player has to be a joke. She does lead the league in scoring...As she should!...she has 483 fieldgoal attempts and 287 this season alone! Shooting that much, you'd better lead the league in scoring! How could you not! But 94 turnovers this season??....she's leading there too.🤣
Looks like Molly's neck hurts.. Mine would too ... that was a brutal game... GO and get a DEEP MASSAGE... ! Sweet girl ... and HUMBLE .. and that is a RARE quality today.
The Center forward, Hanna, GOT KNOCKED DOWN on almost every play under the Basket... ???????????????? She needs to GET TOUGHER... she lost her balance a lot... MORE MUSCLE is a must. She is a great player but must build muscle.... the amazon women in that league are Brutal !~
Great team with a great player but I think in the tournament the fact that they don’t have a good post player is really going to hurt them! They miss a lot of shots right under the basket!
