Game thread

Wow. Have the hawks put a hard foul or two on any hoosier rebounding or going up for a shot?

giving up this many off boards is just a lack of will to get to the ball first and move the feet, etc

Hard fouls? We don't deserve to be hard-fouling anyone. We can't even defend ball-screens, we'd just be goons.

Our entire defense looks like a scramble drill. We have no "set" defense.
 
Cartwright has been horrendous in all aspects. Turnovers on offense, poor positioning on defense and absolute not trying to block out anyone on the defensive end.

He is not the only one, but sticks out the most at this point.

May was already hesitant before being benched...he is going to be worthless the rest of the season imo.

Some young guys are getting pt though...I guess that's positive:rolleyes:
 
Iowa TO's: 17
Indiana TO's: 12

Iowa O-REB: 6
Indiana O-REB: 15

Indiana has FOURTEEN more possessions than we do. If they shoot at a 60 percent clip, that's 8.4 more baskets, or nearly 17 more points than Iowa. You can't give them that many extra possessions and expect to be competitive.
 
We just need to sag the defense. Play man defense. Pack it in. Make teams shoot over us. It will close down drive lanes, easier to rebound the ball. We can still run off defensive rebounds. We have to figure out or ball-screen defense.

Extending the defense just exposes everything. We get beat of the dribble, we have nobody who can protect the rim. We scramble, then we can't rebound.
 
For all you Ogelsby haters, see what happens when he gets a chance to play and get in rhythm.

You NEVER see May do what he does.
 
yea i can see why people are not happy, Iowa was preseason #1 and was supposed to go 41 and 0 and win the NC

Or maybe people just want to see improvement and effort jacka$$. Rebounding and defense is mostly effort and Iowa is performing horribly on both fronts. Indiana has like 16 offensive rebounds which is absolutely ridiculous.

Cartwright has got to have like 8 to's right now with 6 mins left. He had 4 halfway through the 1st half.
