[trj]

Standup and start cheering…make some noise.

Hold the Phone, lads

Hawks cut the lead to 8

A glimpse of Hope

 

[thedukeofearl]

Koch might be the player fo the game for the Hawks

 

[trj]

Underwood has Lou Henson type hair.

 

[thedukeofearl]

WTF is happening

Lead cut to FIVE

 

[trj]

literally and figuratively, had shots to chop the lead down to 3.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Gotta be proud of the Lads

Never stop fighting

Hawk gets slammed to the floor

FOUL ON IOWA

 

[trj]

Folgerias having a shitty game.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Rally Over

Ran out of Gas

 

[TritonHawkeye]

Felt with about 1:30 left in the game Stirtz clearly put himself over the team. Not a good look and basically let a guy score without contention, can't do that no matter how important you think you are to the team.

 

[trj]

No more moral victories, put two halfs together.

 

[trj]

How did Stirtz miss that bunny?

 

[thedukeofearl]

Gotta be proud of the Lads for the comeback and intestinal fortitude

 

[Hawke]

Right on cue ...

Do you know any other notes besides B flat?

This team doesn’t lack effort just talent. Dolph keeps referring to Stirtz as All American. Although he was bad today he is likely a second or third team All big talent. No one else at near that level. Just reality of inheriting a decent Drake team

 

[Hawke]

Yeah, still gonna be about 10-12 point loss by time all the fouls / free throws are done.

Negative Nancy wrong again.

 

[Hawke]

AhhHa-Ha-Ha-Ha. Good one Nancy.
Learn the game and how to watch with balance of head and heart.

Isn’t it ironic?

Needed to play a much better non conference schedule. Ole Miss and Iowa State were the only power 4 matchups. Beating up on bad teams is fine but does it really prep a team for B1G regular season? 1-2 better matchups may have helped.

New coach, new players, new system - same end result. Get down and fight at the end and come up short.

They did fight hard but these lapses to start games are not acceptable from anyone's standpoint except the competition. We came out flat and missing our own rims.

Hope the coach can have some success addressing this anomaly. Two games straight, one on road and one at home.
