That's the way you defend the home court! Guts and determination! I'm sure nobody gave the Hawks a chance in hell to win this game but they gutted it out and found a way to win! I feel like David just beat Goliath! Proud of you Hawks! On to Sunday in Carver against Indiana. Protect our house Hawks and ring up number 30!

I'm not sure what that was, other than a win. It wasn't what I call basketball. I hate that kind of slapping, grabbing, shoving, ugly game that Maryland now employs. The refs let that game get out of control right from the start. It's a wonder no one got seriously hurt.
Congrats to Iowa for adjusting to it. That is not easy to do. And screw you Maryland twerps for your thuggish Michigan state MMA style you now play.
Go Hawks!

The Hawks lost the battle on the boards 52 - 28 and MD had 18 flippin steals. How did the Hawks pull this out with their star center on the bench? Ohlinger and Warnock battled their a$$es off down low and our guards played terrific perimeter D. MadDog shot 31% from the field, 16% from 3 and 38.5% from the line!! GO FREAKING HAWKS!!
Echoing @1hawkeye1 above, Holy rock fight, Batman! Yikes, the game was uglied up by Maryland, and the refs let it go after the 1st quarter (Maryland had only 3 fouls in the second half before they started fouling intentionally). Iowa played very sloppy, and the young ones aren't yet ready for prime-time, but man did they fight. What Lexi lacks in some areas, she makes up for in guts. No fear at all to take the most important shots down the stretch.
Ollinger was amazing. I can't believe the jump she has made this year. She is like Draymond Green out there (GS version, not MSU version), anchoring the D and delivering smart passes on O. I don't know if they do an all-B1G all-defense team, but if they do, she needs to be considered.
Although Hawks were ugly last night, what a great bunch to watch overall. Fast, positionless basketball with players that can shoot and attack the rim. An effective hub in the middle to work around. Frankly, they look like an NBA team right now in many of their offensive concepts. They have also embraced the 3 in a way that feels a bit overdue, but was also difficult to do when Gustafson was shooting 70% and scoring 25+/game. They are willing to shoot through slumps now, and to hunt 3-pointers like they wouldn't previously. They can go on some ridiculous runs when they start raining fire.
Hopefully Marshall gets past the mid-year freshman wall, and hopefully 2nd year players Taiwo and Martin can continue to carve out roles. Warnock is going to be awesome, can't wait to see her grow.
Go Hawks!
