Iowa fans act like we all hate Iowa and the players when actually the players are very likable. The problem is some of their fans, and apparently, parents. πŸ™ƒ

@TheAfrocentricI We see a ton of misuse and misinformation on 179 , & it's often an audit waiting to happen, so I'm pretty skeptical when clients want to claim it.

I don't understand why the quote/clip is pissing people off so much? She was basically asked how she felt knowing half their home arena would cheering for the opposing team. Her was response was effectively "it's whatever. We don't care."

@NeshLovesHoops As an objective observer, the spacing feels like the biggest issue. They can guard Maybrey and let everyone sag in. That's why there's like 3 people around Angel every time she gets the ball. It just looks like tons of contested twos all game.

@meanlezbians I think it boils down to them (a) thinking angel is better, and (b) knowing she's from close to DC, so they want to prove the Mystics messed up taking Aaliyah higher. Personally, I think both players benefited and got drafted by the best teams for them.
