Hawks vs North Carolina Central Game Thread

Patrick looks like he's going to be fun to watch. Our first player with real professional experience in awhile?

Patrick is going to be hard to stop inside

And he is a Smart player, coach's son and all that

Iowa is just limited on the defensive end...people will have to accept it. Most nights the offense will carry the team, but the nights it doesn’t they will have to figure something out

Lads starting to get into a groove now

Thing are going to be Alright

Pmac will just be a better version of Nicholas Baer.....which will be a great thing

Defense looking MUCH better.

Garza gonna get his!

Do you think in blowout games Fran is going to make sure LG gets his 20 points?

Garza is going to be a monster. He is going to be dominant. He is going to be special

 

[Hillcrest1981]

He has 16 points now. Let him get his 30...

I still see a weak defense no way we are even a top 10 team if this is how we defend against NCCU.

Connor and Patrick plus the Murray twins

Have tons of basketball savvy

Kenyon's best aspect was his floor game and defense

 

[hawk52]

D improved latter part of the half

I'm surprised at how quick Patrick is. If they keep using him as a double team on the point he's going to create some turnovers with his long arms.

They are a top 10 team, most nights their offense will compensate. It is the 6-10 games where they are really struggling on the offense end and how they get through that will determine how this season plays out

I am waiting to hear that CHA is so quiet. No one standing up, poor student attendance, (should be courtside), blue hairs in best seats with their knitting.

Maybe they should put cardboard cut-outs of blue hairs in the front few rows to make it feel like a home game.

Like the half court trap

Takes about 10 seconds off the possession time clock

Patrick's length is a serious factor

It's All Good

 

[Hillcrest1981]

Patrick has a funky looking jump shot but gets it off quick.

 

[HuckFinn]

PMac is an amazing bb player. He is going to get minutes.

 

[thedukeofearl]

When JoeT starts making threes from the corner

The game is ours
