Mar 2019

Used to watch Iowa games almost from their inception.

Spent many years cheering on Vivian Stringer with my two daughters. They had some great teams at Iowa. Certainly hope her health straightens out.
Stringer came from Cheyney(?) State (IIRC) where she had her team on the national stage in the old AIAW days.

And so this year I also am anticipating that Maryland - UCLA set-to. Maryland's coach is an Iowa product. Iowa and Iowa State have been medium powers over the years, yet both are looking good this year.

Cheering for Maryland to beat UCLA.

My head tells me Notre Dame or Baylor is the team to beat, but by golly I would so love to see that trophy in Iowa.
