I played competetive basketball 30 years and know a good coach when I see one. We lost 4 senior ball- handling guards last year. The good news is the future looks bright and we have a 5 🌟 and two 4 🌟's coming next year. This is a rebuilding year and if folks can't understand that, it's going to drive them nuts.
And if they continue to suck, Those commits WILL CHANGE SCHOOLS! Dont forget that most of those were from the Caitlin-hype and Coach Bluder. Those are Gone now and NIL is such a different beast! Those freshmen you say are Small and all role players. None are even in the same level as Olsen. This offense is built with somebody playing like an ALPHA. Olsen can do it, she just doesn't have that Dog in her
We are in a tough spot. Hannah is playing the 4. She has no midrange game at all. The other teams know this, so they are sagging way off her. They can double the post that way. Makes it hard for Grady. We are really struggling at the rim as well. I cant remember a time I have seen us not make layups. Our 2 guard won't shoot. If she does it's not close. Won't drive to the basket at all. Lucy has been off some. Young kids are coming though! Keep the faith Hawkeye nation....
The upper classmen are dealing with a major adjustment this year, while the freshmen don't have that history, so they are literally fresh. The team will figure it all out; it just takes some time.
I’ve been coaching for 25 years. I took accountability for poor coaching decisions Jen coached poorly last night, her veteran point guard and their their best center on the bench with two minutes to go on the game. Poor coaching I thought she would take accountability for that decision-making at the end of the game but in the post conference, she did not Lucy and Sydney are not playing well right now because they’ve had their minutes cut in half this will lead to poor shooting and turnovers turnovers by Lucy and inconsistent play by Sydney. #11 has no business running our team right now because she is not a team player yet. As soon as she touches the ball, she drives to the basket. She needs to work the ball around making the defense move. Then she’ll have a lane to drive in. I believe Jansen will be a great coach, but she coached poorly last night.
When you lose cc , martin and Gabby it's hard to replace them. The future is bright with all the young , talented ladies we have . We need to play tough solid D , it definitely needs to improve. ❤❤❤❤
As an IUWBB season ticket holder, IU is a tough team. No one tougher than Syd Parrish. IU lost 65% of their scoring from last year. You aren’t going to out tough a Teri Moran IU team. Iowa got out toughed.
That’s because Lucy and Sydney have had their minutes cut in half by Jansen who is playing the freshman too much. The only freshman that should be playing most of the time is Stremlow.
Lineups are changed so early and often there is no way for them to get any familiarity or rhythm with one another. Select a leading lineup and let them play, stop the unending substitutions. I believe Stremlow would be the number one player on this team if she was allowed to play and gain a little experience. Her confidence is way beyond that of any of our seniors. There is absolutely no confidence displayed by our seniors. All they do is pass the ball to one another on the perimeter until the shot clock forces them to make a desperate out-of-control move often resulting in a turnover. I'm getting tired of their timid play. They have some talent but there is something holding them back. Jan needs to get them to release the inhibitions.
I agree. I think Stremlow deserves more playing time than any freshman. Honestly, she needs to be on the floor instead of O'Grady. Move Stuelke back to the 5.
I have to agree with David. Too much substitution all through the game. Tough to get a rhythm flowing that way. I get that you want everyone to get minutes and see who can do what. but by now there should be a good feeling about who plays well in a given situation, who is hot, and who is not. I also agree they need to recognize the good shot or look, and take it rather than passing it around the perimeter and making a hurried shot before the shot clock expires. . One last observation: Free throws. Too many missed free throws. In a close game, missed free throws account for the difference between a win or a loss.
They both good but both are still just good role players. What they need is to let Olsen cook! Only when she demands double-team that this team will win these games again
Syd and Hannah are not playing up to what I believe was expected from the fans and the coaching staff. Hannah at the four position is not working due to Hannah not having a midrange shot. She basically has one move and even struggles under the basket. Iowa needs to run !!!!
OLSEN has been a disappointment< and its mostly not her fault. IOWA's lineup is built as if Caitlin is still playing. They DONT have height, and most of their players are not gifted athletically. They can shoot, Thats it. BUT without any threat of a deadly scorer, those players are useless! And this is what we see in these past games. OLSEN is playing too nice and doesn't demand the ball as much as she needs to. THE ENTIRE OFFENSE IS BUILT FOR OLSEN TO COOK! She is not Caitlin but she is capable of at least 25 a game. And until she embraces that role, it's a horibble season for these women.
The players who have been through the last 2 years and who played significant and important minutes during that time, and faced the pressure to perform, are nowhere to be found on the court as leaders. Who is the leader on the court of this team? There isn't one. Nobody is holding anyone accountable.....including the coaching staff
Really disappointed in Lucy Osen, was hoping she would replicate what she did at Villanova last year, not so. Playing in a new system is hard, I gather.
This is silly.. Iowa was blessed with one great player. Change everything they do for that player. didn’t recruit anyone, didn’t developed any players and now the loose to Average teams.. Dawn tell all players that come to South Carolina no one will ave more then 20 points!!
It’s frustrating seeing her take her veterans out of the game and play freshman against these veteran teams. What I see is the freshman making lots of mistakes miscues end of the game no one covering someone right under the basket at one point she had four players that have national championship and Big Ten championship experience on the bench and she was trying to win the game with freshman. I don’t understand it. She has the number three score in the NCAA from last year sitting on the bench team needs to gel on the court board. It just feels like she’s making a rebuilding year because she keeps taking her players out if they make one small mistake early in the game It’s really become difficult to watch. They have some freshmen with some talent clearly but they’re not better than flower back a folder Addison O’Grady or Lucy Olsen. Those people need to be in the game gelling as a unit much more frequently. She pulls them out so frequently that but I think the result is that they’re getting beat by more experienced teamskind of sad.
There's no leader on the court. No one. This team is suffering from C.Clark withdrawals. C.Clark was a leader on and off the court. She kept her teammates accountable for their actions on the court. Thus, why the Sr. & Jr. are not playing well. Plus, missing the mental coaching part of basketball. No one could have forseen the Sr and Jr playing terriblely. It appears they are missing the desire/passion for playing basketball. It appears they have no energy.
Lucy Olsen would never come off floor…….so as the head coach is going to throw her right under the bus and take clock from her and stuelke. Frosh over rated
She is not a coach she is only agood assistant.. when you're players can't shoot take them out..U no whowe are talking about.center got 2 more Tougher. Come on 25-26

Lol
Bingo! They all act suprised
Just need to keep the talent in-house (keep the commits committed)
And if they continue to suck, Those commits WILL CHANGE SCHOOLS! Dont forget that most of those were from the Caitlin-hype and Coach Bluder. Those are Gone now and NIL is such a different beast!

Give Lucy the green light🚦

Why isn't freshman Callie Levin being given play time? If these seniors aren't performing, she should be given a chance too.
With that kind of substituting no one can get in the flow.
When you lose cc , martin and Gabby it's hard to replace them.
The future is bright with all the young , talented ladies we have .
We need to play tough solid D , it definitely needs to improve. ❤❤❤❤
Ever think Indiana might be a really good team? Credit?
Yep
As an IUWBB season ticket holder, IU is a tough team. No one tougher than Syd Parrish. IU lost 65% of their scoring from last year. You aren’t going to out tough a Teri Moran IU team. Iowa got out toughed.
The defense was looking so tough in earlier games. It has really dropped off.
The quality of comoetition is improved. Indiana was tough last year.
The best is yet to come for this young team
Freshman are doing good, upperclassmen are not doing well all. Entire team needs an offense. Scoring and accurate passing
That’s because Lucy and Sydney have had their minutes cut in half by Jansen who is playing the freshman too much. The only freshman that should be playing most of the time is Stremlow.

Heiden and Guyton need to play 25 -30 minutes a game regardless of outcome of game.
They both good but both are still just good role players. What they need is to let Olsen cook! Only when she demands double-team that this team will win these games again
@@DerekLaugann Role players,lol. They are the future of the team. No future in playing anyone else.
Syd and Hannah are not playing up to what I believe was expected from the fans and the coaching staff. Hannah at the four position is not working due to Hannah not having a midrange shot. She basically has one move and even struggles under the basket. Iowa needs to run !!!!
Yes- run! 👟

thats what i am saying let Lucy just go off!

Should have been a warning. But there was ill intent slapping at the ball. in the grand scheme that play didn’t mean crap.
This is silly.. Iowa was blessed with one great player. Change everything they do for that player. didn’t recruit anyone, didn’t developed any players and now the loose to
Average teams.. Dawn tell all players that come to South Carolina no one will ave more then 20 points!!
not sure time will tell so many missed shots ???
Missing Caitin the gunner!
learn from the past three clark years. get the bench more playing time. at best iowa will finish mid pack in big 19. use the opportunity to bu8ld

Play the freshman seniors aren't producing play mcabeb 40 when she hot sh e ll shoot 6 threes a game in high school she shot more 3s than cc did

Sorry.. traditionally, Iowa is not a great basketball school!!
Lucy Olsen would never come off floor…….so as the head coach is going to throw her right under the bus and take clock from her and stuelke. Frosh over rated
She is not a coach she is only agood assistant.. when you're players can't shoot take them out..U no whowe are talking about.center got 2 more Tougher. Come on 25-26
