Expectations for tonight at Creighton?

[andrewdowns]

How’s everyone feel about tonight’s game? A win feels like a long shot, but showing we can compete at this level would be great for this team this early in the season. Gotta hit shots.

Gonna be a tough task

Creighton is very good, almost made the Final Four last season

Lost by one point to San Diego State

Don't expect a win, but do expect a good game

This will be a solid test for the new Lads

 

[Teddy]

I expect a win. Of course, I always expect a win in non-conf games other than Duke. It's not until the conference games where my suspicion of the dishonest officials will sometimes diminish my optimism.

 

[Hawkboys]

I expect a lot of points put up

 

[Dadman]

would love to see a W. But i think we get a teaching moment. Creighton aint no slouch. Good test for us early.

I am expecting an L. Defense and rebounding will be their achilles heel. We will see exactly where they are at in both departments in this game.

Courtney Green is officiating. That's my answer.

Creighton aint no slouch.

Don't sell them short. They're a tremendous slouch.

Has Iowa ever won an opening tip in the Fran era?

Tyler Cook is the answer. Otherwise, I'm thinking no.

Krikke won’t give you much defensively, but my man is a scorer. He is going to give you buckets.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Outstanding pass by Sandfort

Who also tripped the Crighton big fellow at the start of the possession

 

[thedukeofearl]

Hawks 5 fouls called

Bluejays 0

Excuse me 6 fouls on the Hawks

 

[Northside Hawk]

Hey! A foul called on Creighton.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Evenly matched to this point.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Krikke won’t give you much defensively, but my man is a scorer. He is going to give you buckets.

Just hope he can stay on the floor foul wise when conference play begins.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Surprised by them so far.

Tips (sans tie ups) should be relegated to the broom closet along with Chuck Taylor Converse's.

 

[HuckFinn]

Very impressive by our opponent: 1 foul in first 10 minutes. 7 on Iowa. BS.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Dimbele with some nice minutes with Freeman (fouls) on bench.
