Iowa vs. Creighton Game Thread

Yes i understand we are down by alot, but seriously, the hawk fans here are horrible. Its like theyr only here ti watch a basketball game, not to cheer for the hawks. No one is shouting "defense" or "lets go hawks" or anything. Its like they didnt wake up this morning.
It would really help if our student section showd up.
 
One half not a season make, for either team.

We'll shoot better. They'll shoot worse.

We'll play better and they'll play worse.

It's a matter now of dignity and not getting totally blown out.
 
A few things about the first half....
1. I can't stand Doug McDermott
2. We suck at free throws
3. Why does it seem like every decent team we play just shoots lights out against us?
4. I can't stand Doug McDermott
5. The Iowa crowd there sucks at cheering on this team.

Well allow me to retort......
#1 agreed
#2 agreed
#3 because our shooting is so mediocre by comparison
#4 ostrich
#5 I swear our fanbase averages 58 years old. Sipping Geritol and knitting as the game goes on.

I tried to talk a group of students into going response was "were not driving to watch iowa bball"
 
The Hawks were not ready play, they don't have the talent to just show up and go thru the motions, ask ISU at Drake, when will Big Ten teams learn that this MO. Valley's super bowl

1st time I have watched Baasbe this season, is he asleep? he was playing better at the end of his freshman season,

Must be a sign of how much respect iowa bball has lost over the past 5 years. were trying to come back ans yet the students want no part in helping. No student energy means no fan energy, and its showing right now. Very very disappointing.
 
I've said it before and will continue I guess....I don't see where Marble is going to contribute to this team. Maybe defensively, but his minutes are sparse at best and he's not even the first one off the bench....McCabe or White is.
 
that's still the problem with Iowa fans for year no matter who the coach has been, the fans sit on their @ss like the are at a opera, no emotion, they get mad at those that stand and cheer "its sit down you are here to watch the games
the students don't care because they have to sit behind the baskets, and to those that say that is where they belong, you sit behind the basket a few games and then tell me why they should go
 
And we'll see how chipper and glib FM is after this game.

(Since some of you were complaining he's such a good interview as compared to KF...which is to be xpected after three blow out wins).
 
Teams shoot lights out against us because we play horrible defense. It's not hard to figure out.

The only problem is that Creighton has been hitting a lot of their contested shots, too. We don't play good defense, but that's not the only reason that Creighton is on fire. Part of it is that they're just hot right now, and they're good anyway.

They'll cool off eventually.

To be fair, though, Kirk's pressers put people to sleep even after a good win.
 
"McDermott just wiped sweat off his forehead! That must have opened up the lane for (insert his teammate's name here) and oh wow McDermott is doing it all!"

That is pretty much what these announcers sound like to me.

There was a possession where McDermott did not touch the ball and was simply standing down low and they gave him credit for getting his teammate the basket and opening the lane for him and drawing attention.

I think I am going to watch the rest of the game with the sound off.
