Hawks need a win Vs. the kitty cats!!!!!

[Iahwk06]

Going to be a battle

 

[HawkIowa44]

Offense is looking ragged to start out

 

[HawkIowa44]

This game is brutal and neither team looks like they want to make the Big Ten tournament

 

[99topdawg]

Holy shit.

So why can’t all 18 teams be eligible for the BTT? The nerds have done the work, it would not be that many more games.

It’s really pretty dumb that they don’t

 

[HawkIowa44]

This is a must win if they want to make it. Michigan St will roll them and at Nebraska won’t be easy.

Michigan State game feels like a win to me. Don’t know why… it just does. Call it a gut feeling.

Harding with 6 assists and no turnovers…good first half.

 

[HawkIowa44]

Yeah, Harding and Thelwell are about it so far. Dix and Sandfort have not been good.

 

[eyekwah]

DiX, PA Sandfort, Dembele, Harding are a combined 4 of 20. Someone earlier described Iowa as ragged. It sure fits. Iowa can find no chemistry in this game.

Payton has been a good Hawkeye, but I’m ready for him to move on. If he makes it into the NBA I would be amazed.

 

[Iahwk06]

without the 3’s we are a struggling

You just can't count on him. It's not just how sporadic hos shot is. He also makes a lot of random bone headed plays. All around good player, just not someone who can be the number one option.

 

[Seth53]

Welp. Bye bye season

 

[trj]

I guess I am being a homer. I think they catch Michigan State sleep walking on Senior Day.

He has been banged up all year. That said even if he was completely healthy he isn’t good enough to do the heavy lifting by himself.

 

[eyekwah]

Here is the ugly. It is going to get more ugly, which I hate to say, but it is. Michigan State and then @Nebraska.

Isn't Harding the guy we all looked back at coming as Fran finally getting the guard that has alluded him all these years? I remember a couple of years ago people talking about a guard coming in that would be THE GUY. If it wasn't him who was it?

If it was him back then that people were talking about, has he measured up? To me he just seems pretty average at best, if not just a tad below average. Who knows maybe next year he will come into his own. How many times have we heard that said about players?

I think years from now when Fran has been gone people will look back at Fran's inability to recruit and develop the big ten level of guards needed for a program to be able to compete at the highest level. He sure as hell did a good job at the Center and Forward positions.
