#5 Iowa @ Illinois Gameday Thread

[Omaherky]

These refs are laughable both ways.

 

[ibahawkeye]

Clemmons, Woody both in double figures, Mike has to be fairly close. We get production like that to go along Jok and Uthoff, we'll be damn near unbeatable.

 

[atomicblue224]

Jok with 21 points.

In control all game, this team doesn't play down to lesser teams.

 

[bcl20]

Is Fran trying to help his less than 5 point game record or something? We're clearly melting the clock for some reason.

I hate this drain clock ****. Attack the basket. That's what got you there

The only thing I can think of is they were slowing the pace to rest a bit. Woody looks gassed. Of course you could play the bench then. We're also still going to win easily so I guess it's working.

Why game was over up 20 with under 3 mins to play! No need to get anyone hurt let's slow the game down and limit the Illini touches and get to bus and prepare for Indiana!!!!

I'd prefer they get back into the offense a bit sooner so MG doesn't have to force up a bad shot, or at least have set plays.. They almost shut it down a bit too much sometimes.

Really wishing we beat Maryland, now. If we played them at home, we'd beat them by 10+ as well. Ugh.

Yep, had Iowa beaten Maryland they'd be a lock for #1 team in the country tomorrow.

Good win,Illinois brought a lot of energy and we were able to handle their runs.Even when we weren't shooting the ball well we were playing good defense so they couldn't get going.I'm sure with them playing 3 OT game the other night had to take some out of them.Go Hawks

I agree, the slow down game just doesnt work. Almost makes a great team look just regular. And sooner or later a team with some decent shooters could get back into it with some lucky 3's.......

I agree completely. Up 20 with under 3: deflate ball but my thought is the offense needs to get the play going with about 11-13 seconds instead of 7-8 to get better % shot.
