Michigan Women's Hoops

Delayed but possibly still played – that’s a new one.

Woof. Didn’t check the thread title and had quite the scare there.

I would assume refs.

I was guessing same thing! I was looking forward to watching this game before the mens game. Oh well!

Chatham, are you available to officiate the Michigan-Iowa women’s game this evening!? Maybe Kevin Warren can get you a flight to Iowa City ASAP!

Anybody know what’s going on with the women? M never took the floor at Iowa and the game was delayed in conjunction with Covid protocols.

Sounds like a referee issue

Someone on Mgoblog just reported the MEN’S game has been delayed. I don’t think that’s correct but anyone have any information. He said it was reported on WTKA. I’m pretty sure the guy heard basketball and assumed men’s.

AGAIN, I don’t believe the guy is correct. I think it’s the women’s game!

Edit: OK, the guy just said he only heard the end of the “breaking news” so I’m guessing it is the women’s game.

OK, it looks like it is the women’s game since no one has reported anything about the mens’ game being delayed.

Here is a statement from the Michigan Women’s Basketball program:

“The decision to pause was made jointly by the Michigan and Iowa Department of Athletics and the athletic medicine staffs in consultation with the Big Ten Conference.”

From the Des Moines Register:

Iowa women’s basketball game vs. Michigan delayed ‘in conjunction with COVID-19 protocols’ (desmoinesregister.com)

Women’s game is back on for now on the foxsports app

Iowa currently doing to Michigan’s women what Michigan men did to Iowa.

What exactly is happening there?

How did we collapse so badly?

I haven’t been watching but checked the score and did a double take. Looks like Iowa jumped out to a big lead and then Michigan just never recovered.

Weird stuff. Blame it on the weird covid pause in today’s game :man_shrugging:

Iowa’s been automatic from the three, Michigan brought it back within reach a couple times in the first half but then Iowa would hit two or three 3-pointers. They also start 6-for-6 from 3 in the third quarter

70% from three? Goodness…
