Iowa vrs Maryland

[HaydenHawk56]

A must win and they get it. Well done.

 

[BigD]

We won’t win on their floor

My son says that the terp MFer leaned in to distract Connor on the last free throw

F him

 

[BigD]

Fran didn't like what he saw from the second unit and put the starters back in before the 8 minute media timeout. Kris hasn't played much either. PMac was sideways most of the night as well.

Yes “sideways” is a good way to describe what he does.

Glad Bo is Mr Clutch, ;(

We were almost a different kind of clutch. Can't miss two front ends with a seven point lead.

2 second division teams duking it out.
Next game at Wisconsin (who I hate more than any other Big Ten team) will put great defense on display and it ain't the Hawks
Could be a replay of Iowa State game

Danny Manning who played for Kansas and won a Natty

Went to Kansas after Roy Williams hired his father as an assistant coach

Yep we really needed this. Joe has shown improvement but he needs to be more consistent. We really need a go to guard and we don’t have that right.

Our center shoots free throws like Garza did when Garza did as a freshman. He need to spend significant time shooting free throws.

Alaya bumped Keegan in the line

Punk Ahole

Probably not, but a lot can happen between then and now- interested to see the players trajectories- Fran leaned on playing Kris late, was glad to see it. Then sealed it with the FT advantage they likely don’t get at MD. Still had to have this, interested to see what this offense does on the road Thursday.

Yeah this clutch was slipping.

My son says that Keegan's body mechanics are one of the factors that make him
such an excellent player

Keegan doesn't seem to sweat

Cucumbers, Baby

 

[Casey388]

This is easily the most athletic team Fran has had. Great win and Maryland tried to out physical us. Keegan is just always in the right place and doesn’t try to do too much. There are many times I’m yelling for the ball to get into his hands. I’m so glad Joe T decided to stick around. His quickness and tenacity is hard to match.

 

[ohhawk]

Yes “sideways” is a good way to describe what he does.

Not one of his better nights for sure. Seems like he seldom looks to pass the ball once it’s in his hands. Tends to ignore others who have open shots at times. Like Fran has driven it in his head to drive the ball at all times. Always like his energy.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Glad Bo is Mr Clutch, ;(

He has been his entire career

No Doubt

 

[HuckFinn]

Fran get your damn kid under control. How many of those off balance shots is he going to take and miss before you put a stop to it.

He needs to shoot more. Some may be off balance. He is one of the most athletic on this team. 6’9”. Can drive to the basket, can shoot the three. Stamina still an issue.

 

[HuckFinn]

That excuse doesn’t work for me as every school is on break.

WTF does that have to do with anything?

 

[thedukeofearl]

Manning giving Keegan a TON of credit

Manning is cool

Gonna be a good coach

 

[HuckFinn]

Lol, good point.

Like I said to SS, what the F is in any way relevant to the small crowd tonight in Iowa City? Are you both drunk?

 

[thedukeofearl]

He needs to shoot more. Some may be off balance. He is one of the most athletic on this team. 6’9”. Can drive to the basket, can shoot the three. Stamina still an issue.

Perhaps because of surgery for his brain tumor

He was a top 50 high school player

He is a solid player, every player on Earth has an off game
