Iowa @ OSU game thread

[iahawk20]

Three chances to cut it to 6 and no luck. OSU comes right down off the third miss and scores an easy 2. 57-46 with 4 to go.

Cougs, the Rebound Monster!!!!

Cougs...........aka Big Country. The guy is going to be a Big Ten force in a year, or two

when the other team is missing layups and free throws has very little to do with D.

Iowa is just the luckiest team in the big 10 to catch every team on an off shooting night

seriously?

Thank the Lord that Iowa doesn't have a bit deeper bench and a few more solid Iowa kids on it, or, Iowa would be leading Ohio St today

On that topic, OSU has only played 6 players today with Madsen coming in off of the bench for Lauderdale when he was in foul trouble.

I don't think teams try that hard to score against Iowa. They know they aren't gonna have to put up that many points to win.

Once again Gatens doing his worst with the game on the line.

 

[tweeterhawk]

57-46 tOSU, about 3:40 left

 

[iahawk20]

Gatens with another turnover.

Again, this team has one of the worst basketball IQs around.

If they were contested threes you could chalk that up to good defense. They are just missing every three pointer that they take right now.

Is it me or does it feel like when we are on defense it's Evan Turner against Iowa? With Turner winning. Good god he is good. Reminds me a lot of myself....ha

 

[tweeterhawk]

W4, u still have walk-on eligibility?

One thing you have to credit lick for is coaching a solid half court defense. Iowa's problems on defense are really just a symptom of their offense when we turnover the ball and our bigs cant get set.

 

[seepig]

I rest my case.

 

[tweeterhawk]

We're in this game without the stupid TO's, especially the first half.

How is every team getting wide open three after wide open three good half court defense?

 

[woodyk1]

Agreed, the TO's are what hurt the Hawks most today.

 

[tweeterhawk]

And making some FTs.

I never said it was good defense... I just hear it every game that if the other team would have shot well we would have been blown out. What do these people expect, the other team to shoot 75%??
