WBB Game Thread: #21 Iowa (15-5, 9-2 B1G) @ #6 Michigan (19-2, 10-1 B1G)
Michigan leading 41-24 with 4:13 until halftime as I start this thread, behind a balanced scoring attack (Naz leading the way with a dozen points).
February 6th, 2022 at 7:09 PM ^
Girls playing very well. Up by 17 with a few minutes left in the second
February 6th, 2022 at 7:12 PM ^
Out-rebounding Iowa 19-7 so far while shooting at a 64% clip.
Iowa basketball doesn't play defense.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:14 PM ^
This year could be very special for the lady Wolverines!
February 6th, 2022 at 7:18 PM ^
Doing this with no Leigha Brown, too.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:18 PM ^
Naz is such a good ballplayer.
I have had a blast watching the Lady Wolverines this year
February 6th, 2022 at 7:20 PM ^
Whoa Nellie
February 6th, 2022 at 7:21 PM ^
Phelia is really the only guard athletic enough to stay with Clark. Shut that down and Iowa doesn't have much to work with tonight.
Meanwhile Naz is doing Naz things.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:22 PM ^
Go Blue ???
February 6th, 2022 at 7:29 PM ^
All the wolverines looking great tonight. Caitlyn Clark is on another level but the wolverines have her a bit rattled. She's missing a lot of shots (for her).
February 6th, 2022 at 7:30 PM ^
48-36 at the half. Love this team! Go Blue!
February 6th, 2022 at 7:31 PM ^
In other B1G WBB games, IU keeping pace, they beat Purdue to go to 9-1 in the conference. We need to beat Iowa tonight to stay in sole possession of first place.
And spartie lost to Minnesota to fall below the .500 mark in B1G play.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:35 PM ^
Our hot shooting cooled off a bit in the last 4 minutes of the half, but we're still outshooting Iowa 54.3-41.4%, and lead on the boards with a 23-10 advantage.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:38 PM ^
Super freshman play trying to drive 2 on 3.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:42 PM ^
Officiating the score down low.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:52 PM ^
That's for sure! The gal in the middle for Iowa isn't getting called for anything until/unless she practically throws Naz to the floor
February 6th, 2022 at 7:43 PM ^
Up 58-39 now.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:46 PM ^
3rd quarter looking really good but a bit of a ref shit show. 60-41 at the third media time out.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:51 PM ^
This feels like the refs are trying to keep Iowa in the game. Not consistent on both ends.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:48 PM ^
Game reset: 4:40 left in the 3rd quarter, 60-41 lead. Huge edge on the boards 33-14, and still shooting 55%
And Harbaugh in the stands.
February 6th, 2022 at 7:48 PM ^
I don't watch every women's college game but the refs are doing their best not to give Iowa's big her 4th foul! She could have had 3 give her her 3rd in the first half.
Now she has 3 and they won't call the 4th.
Just weird what refs call and let go.
Michigan is playing great, though, up 19 in the 3rd!
Go Blue!!
February 6th, 2022 at 7:49 PM ^
Maddie hits from NBA range, now 66-41!
February 6th, 2022 at 7:50 PM ^
25 point lead! 8-0 run.
just in from the barn, great 2 minutes of game time. go blue!
February 6th, 2022 at 7:50 PM ^
Nolan's release is SO FAST
February 6th, 2022 at 7:53 PM ^
Splish Splash Maddie! 4 threes (so far)
February 6th, 2022 at 7:55 PM ^
The intensity is amazing on our court! Go Blue!!!
February 6th, 2022 at 7:56 PM ^
Beautiful drive by Phelia! Split two defenders for a layup
February 6th, 2022 at 7:59 PM ^
Nasty board by Naz!!!
February 6th, 2022 at 8:00 PM ^
did they disallow naz's quarter-ending hoop?
February 6th, 2022 at 8:00 PM ^
Offense bogged down a bit there, Iowa got it down to 14 but Naz is still ridiculous and gets us a clutch basket.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:02 PM ^
We're 8-9 from the stripe, but Iowa is 16-18 as the refs keep them in the game.
Fortunately our fouls are spread out: seven Wolverines with 2 fouls apiece while Iowa has two starters with 3 fouls each.
70-54 at the start of the final period.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:02 PM ^
Iowa only has 7 players available tonight, so kinda getting pigeon hole principled there.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:09 PM ^
Offense not really flowing, suffering from our turnover bugaboo. Still a game.
Good TO by KBA.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:11 PM ^
Michigan has to play sounder defense, this ref crew is calling anything they can for Iowa tonight.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:15 PM ^
These ladies are awesome.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:17 PM ^
Frosh Lalia Phelia is going to be a joy to watch over the next 3 seasons. She now has 21 points.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:19 PM ^
Attack, attack, attack!!!
February 6th, 2022 at 8:20 PM ^
Caitlin Clark is an incredible shooter. Two of her bombs this quarter have been from over 30 feet away.
Even then, we lead 87-75 with 2:35 left.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:20 PM ^
Caitlin Clark had her wheaties this morning.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:22 PM ^
steph curry moved to iowa. that gal is lights-out from 3, and not just 3, but shooting from saline.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
Over 40 points again, Clark is beast mode. We just have too good of a TEAM!
February 6th, 2022 at 8:24 PM ^
Finally, after 25 fouls, Iowa's #25 fouls out.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:24 PM ^
Hillmon’s offensive rebound at the end of that shot clock is the kind of play that wins championships
February 6th, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
Holy crap, Clark hits another from ~30 ft away.
She's got 23 points in this quarter alone.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
I think I'm watching the woman version of Steph Curry in college - Caitlin Clark of Iowa. She's made 2 logo 3s tonight against Michigan.
She just can't miss from 3.
She now has 44 points.
February 6th, 2022 at 8:27 PM ^
I agree - she gets double-teamed and still gets off, and makes insane threes. This is a special performance! (Sadly for her, but wonderfully for us, in defeat).
February 6th, 2022 at 8:26 PM ^
Caitlin Clark wants to go to the NBA
February 6th, 2022 at 8:27 PM ^
My word, Clark is locked in! What can you do but shake your head!! Impressed
keep hitting those free throws, Michigan
February 6th, 2022 at 8:27 PM ^
Michigan should go with a triangle and 2 with both of them on Clark
February 6th, 2022 at 8:30 PM ^
They basically quadruple-teamed her, she still gets off a 25 footer, gets fouled, and nearly makes the 4 point play. (Makes only 2/3 Feom line)
