This is going to be a great game. Ohio St beat Iowa earlier this year in a thrilling OT victory. Now they're playing in Iowa. Both teams are ranked in the top 10. I see some US books having WNCAA games but I can't find any offshore books having lines. Does anyone knows a book who has this game?

Heritage has the lines up now and I think BOL will post them.Comment -
Sorry, but my generation ... Pistol Pete was/is still tops.
Late 60's. College basketball at the time didn’t have a 3-point line or shot clock, both of which wouldn’t be adopted until nearly 20 years after Maravich’s final college game. Former LSU coach Dale Brown, who succeeded Press Maravich in 1972 and led the Tigers for 25 years, once reportedly charted every shot Maravich took in college and found that had there been a 3-point line, Maravich would have averaged 57 points per game.Comment -
does clark just hang behind the 3 point line all game? i rather stab my eyes with needles than watch any type of women's basketball, but i can't see that flying in the WNBA. seems like 60% of her shots are from behind the arc. curious to see what happens when "pro" guards are in her grill 25 feet out. certainly not going to be chucking 15, 16, 17 3's per game.Comment -
No she’s an amazing passer and gets rebounds and makes defensive plays near the rim too. Her step back three is unguardable. If you watch a full game of her you’ll see how great of a player she is and she’ll excel in the pros. I know it’s easy to get exhausted with any hype machine like hers but she’s the real dealComment -
She's got a pretty well developed physique but when she hugged Mya Moore, (her idol) I just said WOW to the size difference. I coached women's AAU 20 years ago and the amazing difference to today is the across the board size and physicality today.Comment -
haven't had a chance to watch a game yet, but her stat line doesn't add up with insane amount of hype she gets. 8-19 and 8-22, 6 turnovers in each game so far in the tourney. going back to the previous 4 games, that started with ohio state, it's been similar.
nebraska: 12-29, 7 turnovers
michigan: 10-19, 6 turnovers
penn state: 5-19, 6 turnovers
ohio state: 10-26, 5 turnovers
starting to get tired of hearing about how amazing and mind blowing she is. looked like it was her teammates who held on to the win against west virginia.Comment -
Her teammates? They were terrible. They scored 32 points. Clark scored 32 points. They cant catch the ball when Clark passes to them. The center fell down 10 times. Her teammates cant shoot, pass or create. The entire game was pitiful.
All WVU did was bump, foul and shoot bricks.
Clark and WVU point guard were the only players that could play.
The rest of the players played like 55 year men at the YMCA.Comment -
well, that is women's basketball in general. turnovers galore, bricks, struggling to get 10 points per quarter at times, unathletic, ugly, laughable. as mentioned, i didn't see the game, but the stat lines aren't impressive. clark got 6 free points from the stripe in the last 45 seconds. looks like she was 0-6 from the field when they needed her the most. she was 8-22 with 6 turnovers, the team was 9-25 with 9 turnovers.
juju watkins can jack shots, get to the line and rack up points all the same.. but she's only a freshman. i never hear her name.Comment -
When you reveal yourself as someone who finds a sport “unathletic, ugly, laughable” then proceed to comment on it to the degree that you have, trying to poke holes in it while admitting over and over that you’re not watching the person you’re critiquing the most, that’s just weirdo behavior. Get some help with your unresolved issues my guy. It’s just women’s basketball
Juju Watkins name is all over the place btw. Another reason you shouldn’t even be commenting on thisComment -
i've loosely followed all types of sports for years and years and years. i'm not required to spend half my day, every day watching them. if you don't find women's basketball unathletic and ugly, then more power to you. you are certainly in the minority. nor do i need someone to tell me making a few comments on it is "weirdo" behavior. i'll use my freedom of speech on whatever i want, ok fucko?
personally, i'm tired of seeing clark shoved down my throat as the next coming of jesus christ. she's not the steph curry or next larry bird of women's basketball. maybe they can use their own players and gender for these lame comparisons. i know enough that even people who love her find it hard to watch because of her constant crying and arms in the air from start to finish. when iowa loses, and she scores like 33 on 30 jacked shots with 8 turnovers, i'm sure everyone will be like.. "she carried the team the best she could." and no, i rarely see watkins or bueckers name compared to clark. she dominates the coverage.Comment -
imagine being so triggered that you have to throw a little tantrum online because a random person on a forum finds women's basketball to be unathletic and ugly. oh no! not everyone agrees caitlin clark is the greatest thing since sliced bread?! impossible!
i rarely look to insult someone, especially online, but i don't think you want to sling shots at an anonymous person when you describe yourself as a "women’s basketball enthusiast." i can't imagine who, or in today's world, what i'm typing to on the other end. just be glad the hawkeyes covered for clark's inability to even hit a shot in the final quarter against a #8 seed. you get to wear your caitlan jersey for at least 1 more game.Comment -
i'll say it again..
"does clark just hang behind the 3 point line all game? i rather stab my eyes with needles than watch any type of women's basketball, but i can't see that flying in the WNBA. seems like 60% of her shots are from behind the arc. curious to see what happens when "pro" guards are in her grill 25 feet out. certainly not going to be chucking 15, 16, 17 3's per game."
2 pre-season games: 4-12 FG (2-9 3PT) and 6-15 (5-13 3PT) - 11 turns
2 regular season games: 2-8 FG (1-7 3PT) and 5-15 (4-11 3PT) - 13 turns
totals: 17-50 FG. a whopping 24 turnovers and 40 three point attempts.
so, she's the real deal at what? toto, i have a feeling we're not in iowa anymore. she's not going to get off 14 3's per game in the WNBA, and she's certainly not going to hit them at a 38% clip.Comment -
I can’t watch this WNBA after 5 mins of play. But I was watching the pregame and I found it interesting the Fever players pregame intro where Fever starters came out individually and at the end of the walk out were greeted by another player at the end. So each player would either do a little dance or quick bump/high five with the other player. Clark was last in coming out and she shakes the other player hand… WTF!? She doesn’t seem like she’s connecting with her teammates.Comment -
that's pretty funny. lots of weird jealousy around the league i'm sure, even within her own team. i find it hilarious that any player would feel that way though. people hyped this chic up to be the second coming of christ. annoying? yes, especially if you are a great player. however, it should be common sense to ANYONE in the league they need whatever help they can get.
anything that draws attention, boost sales, encourages fans to come out, helps the brand.. you should be all for it. you know, you suck it up and advance the league. crying about deals and breaking out the race card is just fuking stupid. but leave it to a bunch of women to bicker about anything and everything. they better hope clark does something instead of trying to knock her down.Comment -
clark looks like a big chunk of poo so far. in 11 games she's only been able to shoot better than 46% once. 7 of those 11 games she's had at least 5+ turnovers. she's only shooting 35.7% from the field and 29.7% from 3 point range. also, about 64% of her shots are 3 pointers. she's 4th in the league in assists, but she constantly has the ball in her hands. and because of her turnovers, which she easily leads the league in at 5.4 per game, her assist/turnover ratio is a brutal 1.2.
tried to watch a little of the sky vs fever match the other day. couldn't help but laugh when the fever did a couple of touch passes on the break and chic got a 3 point play. she was screaming, bench going crazy. everyone acting like it was the play of the decade, lofl!
then at the end, the announcers talking about how the game lived up to all the hype. what hype? it was a 3-3 team taking on a 1-8 team. clark was 4-11, reese was 2-9. the teams shot a combined 8-37 on 3 pointers. 23-34 from the line. it was an ugly, unathletic game like usual. only 3 players shot 50% or better. 14 players didn't. so ugly.Comment
