So, Hawks will prolly win, something like 83 - 77, especially after the shocking beat downs they gave to Oregon and Uconn at the Garden?

Kind of what I was thinking. Their performance at the Garden makes no sense when you look at the first two games at Carver. Hopefully they woke up.

I plan to be stumbling drunk by the time this game ends. Happy thanksgiving!!!

BTW: Hawks by a million

Iowa first time sniffing top 25 in years, Alabama State terrible, large spread...hmmmm I have seen this movie before. Hope this ending is different.

 

[trj]

eff it, I am all in on this team. If I end up being disappointed by the end of January so be it.

Iowa by 30.

I'll be at CHA tonight.

Remember when Iowa played Campbell on Thanksgiving Eve?

Hey, we made the NIT that year!

 

[lightning1]

I expect we'll roll in this game.

 

[smitharooney]

I thought I saw last night that Green Bay played Oregon tough

 

[MWS604]

Perfect game to focus on defense. You play a couple of lazy possessions on defense - you sit for a long time on the bench. Our second team could easily beat them so play the best defenders the most minutes

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

I'm actually anxious to see our team play again tonight. It's like...I need reinforcement that what I saw in New York wasn't a dream or something.

 

[mopkins]

It's my birthday so I'm gonna be drunk and watching on my phone at a bar. Hawks win by 69

 

[HuckFinn]

105-78, Hawks.

Well that didn’t happen. It should’ve.

Fran wanted to give man a try and against the #331 team it looked weak.


But it was “fun” to watch the hoop fill up.

And the spread was 27.5 haha. Vegas knows.

Well that would have been extremely frustrating to watch if you bet iowa to cover.

At least the defense played really good to start the game.
