Iowa v Xavier Official Game Thread

[LawVHawk]

Just got home...I see Iowa's terrific basketball skills are on display

Iowa getting mugged down low but that's not why they're losing. Iowa's shooting skills are on full display.

I am going to say it, we are to white...aka...way to slow on the perimeter, quick guards kill us always, this game reminds me of UNO. Quick guards able to drive right around us and puts our post in danger, difference is Xavier has a post player that can actually move bodies to get rebounds.

Their guards aren't killing us, their big white dude in the middle is. That and letting them get so many offensive rebounds

Completely getting out hustled, this is very embarrassing.

It's a matter of quickness and athleticism. At least this helps to identify Iowa ... tall, long, deep but very limited, athletically.

Wow..

Xavier playing out of their rear and Iowa looking awful.

The positive note is Iowa is only down 5 at this point.

I agree completely that quickness and athleticism kills us.

Really giving up a lot of offensive rebounds.

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

We need to hit FTs

 

[jacknicholson]

They are getting entirely too many shots under the basket......

These are some sensitive @$$ rims

 

[CRHawk25]

Really giving up a lot of offensive rebounds.

It's because our guards are getting blown right by and then our post are trying to block shots, completely out of position for rebounds.

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

This is frustrating.

 

[1hawkeye1]

Iowa cant even make FT's.

 

[BigD]

They aren't afraid to attack the basket

 

[Herkyalert]

Terrible free throw shooting. What in the hell did they do the past 2 days down there? The Hawks are playing like this is the first time they've shot on this court.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

My God! Is Iowa really still this bad of a shooting team!?

 

[LawVHawk]

When you dribble and carry the ball above your head that's a travel.

 

[1hawkeye1]

Seems like this game is being played in somebody's basement. LOL

Thank God for Marble.
