Game Thread: Iowa vs Northwestern

[tksirius]

When did passing the ball to yourself become allowed in college BB?

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

Of course that goes in.

 

[GoHawks24]

Why not call a timeout there and set up a play? C'mon, Fran!

 

[Biggusblockus]

Of course that three goes in.

 

[spliff45]

Well, yet another ****** half to a supposedly inferior opponent

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

The new Iowa Athletics slogan may just become, "Feels like last year..."

I think you are onto something there.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

Iowa needs to take it to the rim and attack the basket. Just pound it down low and drive to the hoop.

 

[SheagleHawk]

This team deserves to lose out. What an absolutely pathetic effort from a poorly coached group of avg basketball players and below avg athletes. Embarrassing.

 

[1hawkeye1]

This is not fun basketball to watch. More like a visit to the dentist

 

[BigD]

Last second three gives Northwestern the lead at the half 24-27. If there is a silver lining it is that Iowa looks slightly better the last three minutes of the first half. The whole tem looks like they have the flu or that they have been drugged.

Did I hear they are 6-12 from beyond the arc. LOL They couldn't hit the ocean against MSU.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

6 three pointers for Northwestern. That's all they've been doing. Take away the three point ball and Iowa rolls in the 2nd half.

 

[1hawkeye1]

6 of our shots have been blocked?? How is that possible?

 

[BigD]

Six threes has kept Northwestern in the lead

Yes, preferably not with Clemmons or Gesell, though.

 

[1hawkeye1]

I think Settles had a good idea there. Iowa needs to overload this zone.

 

[SonofaSailor]

So we look good....I get sucked back in....just like always, "hey we look alive!!!" And boom....NW three splashes in at buzzer basically....when will I ever learn.

It's better to expect turd results...and maybe be surprised every once in a while.

 

[BigD]

White needs to take charge

 

[Xerxes]

Nice job getting back into at the end of the half but this team has to understand that just because they can't hit wide open 3's doesn't mean every other team is going to miss them too.

 

[PCHawk]

What was Uthoff thinking there? The shot clock is winding down so i better drop down so their best player can have a wide open 3. Like others have said. There is no reason to sag off the shooters to double the penetrator. If they can make a shot over our length, congrats you got 2 points. The only way they win this game is to make 3's. Stop letting them shoot them!
