Boiler them up Hawks...Game thread.

I don't care how red-hot a team is. If you give up 60 points in a half, it's because your defense is trash.

 

[revkev73]

Laughable

Last possession you know it's going in

Why Not, Indeed

Surprised the last-second heave

Didn't go in

Purdue bench 5-5 from 3, 11-12 from the floor. From the BENCH

 

[Northside Hawk]

How did he miss that 75 footer?

I remember a #5 Purdue team in Carver about 20 -25 years ago. Iowa was an unranked avg to below and Kyle Gallagher(?) went crazy from 3. Hawks won by 25-30.

Shit happens when one plays out of their skulls hot and one plays way below their ability.

that’s my point have a NBA mindset, flush it and move on to Nebraska

 

[BVHawk95]

If I'm Fran I'm questioning manhoods.

I understand that sometimes teams get hot, but allowing a team like Purdue to nearly reach their PPG avg in 1 HALF is absolutely pathetic and embarrassing effort.

 

[dirtwrap]

Well, that was fun.

[judzeehawk]

I just don't know what to say?

 

[jocohawk]

We held Maryland to 49 in the game

They are going to put 60 on us in a half

Kind of like the DePaul game but worse. Those 10 offensive rebounds early was horrid to watch

 

[PilotHawk]

Look, Purdue is just hot. But his defense gave up sixty-*******-one points in the half and Fran only saw one place to call a timeout?

 

[NikeHawk21]

Being a bad defensive team is not a good recipe to win on the road in the B1G.

Purdue is shooting out of the world but nonetheless Iowa’s defense has been garbage.

Didn’t expect a win, but getting down to the nitty gritty in terms of finding a road win. Best chances left are now at Indiana and at Minnesota.

 

[hawkeyewx]

The good news? It's just one road loss that most fans expected. It doesn't matter if Purdue wins 120-70 or 65-64.

 

[proudhawkfan21]

Bottom line

It is unbelievably difficult to win on the read in the Big Ten

Especially this season

We were Not going to go undefeated the rest of the way in conference

I had this one as a loss....but by saying that I'm almost admitting that we are that second tier level....5-7 seed

 

[InGoodCo]

That was not pretty. If you go on the road in the B1G and you don’t have your A game, or even your B game, you’re doomed. I expect Iowa to play better, but this is why I didn’t pick them to win any games on the road. I expected them to complete better than this though

 

[BVHawk95]

Season is far from over (and technically so is the ballgame), but good god was that painful to watch.

 

[1980HAWKFAN]

This is why the Hawks probably won't win the Big Ten and why they could possibly be bounced from the tournament quickly. Just simply no defense.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

So how many delegates does Purdue get for this win? Do we have enough points to be viable tonight?
