Michigan Women's Hoops

Kiser down, not really getting yp

Sucky end to the half.

Did Ohio St change arenas?

Guessing there must be a smaller, on-campus venue that they sometimes play in? Maybe there was a conflict with the hockey team or another event today at Discount Furniture Retail Store Arena.

With only Cam Williams playing well, fortunate to only be down 5. 14 turnovers combined between our two best players. Outside of Williams, starting lineup shooting 8-30 from the field.

These announcers are hilarious in the opposing charge calls

Pretty awful. Not a peep on the Ohio State “charge“ just before that.

Also, how in the world was that 5th foul on Brown not an offensive foul for a moving screen? She hands the ball off and then turns right into the player.

Either way, this one was always going to be a long-shot. The way Michigan turns the ball over Ohio State was always going to be a nightmare matchup.

Can’t be upset about losing on the road to the #3 team in the country.

1st thought was that was most definitely a moving screen. Overly aggressive teams gets hairy officiating but it looks like it has been a sloppy game in terms of turnovers as well.

Also can’t just keep giving Ohio State 2, 3, 4 chances to score on OREBs and turnovers in their own half.

As a household, we are all huge Maddie Nolan fans. We love Maddie. That said, I sure hope water finds its level with her shooting soon. You give up a lot of size on the boards when she is in the game. If she’s not giving you 2-3 three-point buckets a game on offense, giving up offensive rebounds like they are because of that sacrifice in size is a tougher pill to swallow. We’re rooting hard for her, and I’m sure nobody wants her to get back to her career percentage more than she does.

Oddly both teams got creamed in the defensive glass

Kiser had to have had the worst game she’s played since she became a starter

Terrible announcers I was probably informed 10 times that OSU was missing 2 players.

Nebraska’s working real hard to make that win look even better! Up 2 in Bloomington with under 5:00 to go in the 4Q.

Another solid win today with a spectacular effort from LB and a bounceback shooting day for Maddie.

Since we’ve discussed it elsewhere, I Zaprudered the Instagram story film and did not see Maddie travel in either during a catch-and-shoot (although I thought I saw one live). This one is close, but it appears she starts her hop while she is still establishing possession of the ball. It’s so very close.

However, you can definitely see the Laila travel I have referenced in this one. I don’t know how she never gets called for that.

You can see she has possession with both feet on the ground.

She then lifts her left foot which establishes her right foot as the pivot foot.

She then brings down her left foot and lifts her right foot, which is still legal as long as she doesn’t bring it back down (e.g., Eurostep).

However, she then brings her right foot down on the hop to land on both feet.

Unless I’m missing something, that should be a travel. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, though.

Edit: pretty sure it’s a travel. The green arrow seems to describe what Maddie does often and is legal; the red arrows seems to describe what Laila often does which is a traveling violation.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk?

I am not shooting the game. But, I just put a text out to some friends. So, maybe?

Clark’s performance last year was one of the best things I’ve ever seen in sports live.

Up 8 on Iowa in the second quarter. Though when you’re facing Caitlin Clark, 8 points doesn’t feel like that much

8000 people in attendance. You love to see it.

Feel like Michigan has played very well — and Laila has been balling out — but Iowa is just so good. Clark is carving them up with her passes. Doesn’t need to score to dominate. Czinano is eating Michigan’s bigs alive and Clark is finding her every time.

Gonna be a real battle in the second half. Would be such a big win if they can pull it off!

That foul on Stuck was a joke.
