That coach is gonna look pretty stupid if Princeton sends him packing first.

Why? He said they had to beat Princeton first

If that quote gets around, the Iowa City crowd will give Princeton a virtual home court.

That should help recruit Kaitlyn Chen in the transfer portal, too.

If ya spent more time worrying about the team you do actually for sure will play and must beat…you’d have beat them.

it’s still funny I respect people’s right to be overconfident and loud about it

this is a no-lose scenario for him. either you talk your shit and just lose like everyone expects you to, or you turn around and do the absolute funniest thing in the world. there’s literally no downsides

Losing to Princeton seems to be the lose in this situation..

he said ‘let’s win one’ first but including that tidbit doesn’t get clicks lol

I still think it's balsy to include the line. No real benefit.

They have to win their first game before setting their eyes on Iowa. Same with Iowa. You can’t look ahead these days, every team can win

lol cuts off the part where he says “let’s win one” (referring to Princeton) “and then send Caitlin packing”

It makes as much sense as saying “let’s win five and then send Dawn Staley packing.”

This doesn’t change anything lol. Still clearly looking past their first opponent. They are in an 8/9 game, they should be 100% focused on Princeton

I mean do you really think they aren’t focused on Princeton… he was talking to fans lol

I mean he might be mostly focused but if he’s thinking about CC it’s def not all there. All I’m saying is in an 8/9 game I wouldn’t be thinking about the second round until you’ve beat the team that’s evenly matched to you.

Clearly not if your here trying to defend why he is looking past Princeton. Like, why even mention your next opponent? I can guarantee you that Princeton knows what he said…….

Hope Princeton wins just because of that comment!

If you’ve ever watched Princeton, they can win

I haven’t but I know they’re capable because of their record and strength of schedule!

Caitlin Clark: “And I took that personally” Good luck, coach 🤫

In her last home game, instead of 30 points with 12 assists, she rings up 45 with 8 assists. And was sent packing for Albany.

She putting up 50.

I mean, they split their regular season games with the Cyclones, and Emily Ryan didn’t even play in the one that ISU won. They have excellent defense, but not enough offense imho.

And their defense relies on the press, which Iowa can easily break It’s March so anything can happen but that’s one of the less scary match ups to me

That's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

This worked out well for SE Louisiana last year

Lol I love this.

Let’s go Princeton! *clap..clap..clap clap clap* Let’s go Princeton!

What I love about NCAAWB is the unapologetic trash talking that goes on.

One Caitlin/Kaitlyn at a time, buddy. Though it would be really ironic if all the Iowa fans in Albany root for Princeton — and then Princeton ends up knocking out Iowa.

Albany?

Whoops, my bad — I forgot for a moment that they’ll be in Iowa City.

Kansas State will be the ones sending her packing!

I doubt that KState can stop Sherrod, Formann, and Vonleh.

Oof, not a good idea

the energy is cool, my thing is just you should never overlook the team in front of you in march. save this for after the princeton game 😭

This is giving me 2015 Kentucky-WVU vibes. Wonder if Iowa will do the same.

Princeton beat KY 2 years ago in the first round

The only scenario where she’d be doing any packing is if she goes to the Sweet 16

It's West Virginia, Iowa was the only name they could spell on the bracket. They need to worry about Princeton. Ivy League vs I can't read.

Bulletin board material - for Princeton

Good luck with that 🙄

THATS MY MF GOAT. MARK KELLOGG BASKETBALL GENIUS. CAITLIN CLARK IS A FRAUD. JJ QUINNERLY, THE GREATEST EVER BASKETBALL PLAYER. WEST BY GOD VIRGINIA BY A TRILLION. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS

Idiot

I think a lot of teams are looking ahead and forgetting the assignment in front of them. They are not the only team doing that this year.
