Iowa vs Northwestern Game Thread

[trj]

Oh, they certainly can. Question is, will they?

It is starting to feel like they are going to lose it.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Everyone guard but Harding is losing their cool and trying to play iso ball. Run the damn sets thru Freeman and figure out how to eek this out!

 

[trj]

Tough to win 10 conference games without beating northwestern at home.

They gotta have it.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Peyton can't D in the slightest

He's worse than ever. Frequently getting more fouls than at any time in career.

NW is going after him every possession

 

[thedukeofearl]

We really need Freeman to win

NW has made him a non-factor

And they have shut DIx down this half

 

[InGoodCo]

This is similar to the Utah St game. Missed FT’s and no one to make a play. They didn’t lead by as much but the 2nd half meltdown is the same.

 

[Hawkboys]

NW made their FTs, IA did not

As said in "Opportunity" thread ... This game will say a lot about Iowa's season, too, especially a loss. An L after such a perfect first half tells you how inconsistent and unreliable this team can be. That spells very unlikely uphill climb to NCAA.

 

[trj]

I can't believe they let this one get away from them.

 

[PCHawk]

6 for 13 second half free throws and one was the front end of a 1 and 1. Unreal.

 

[thedukeofearl]

WTF

Are we going to take this into OT

 

[STILLBUSTER]

They should go to Freeman but Peyton will shoot and clank it.

 

[trj]

Harding...you can't have your PG barely shooting FT(s) over 50%.

 

[InGoodCo]

Hawks are super talented, but just can’t put it all together. How do you lose this game? Unreal. Preseason Mags were right.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

WTF

Are we going to take this into OT

I don't think so.

 

[InGoodCo]

Hawks blowing a 17 pt lead

Yeah. It’s worse than it sounds

 

[thedukeofearl]

Need free throw drills until the break of dawn

After the game

 

[InGoodCo]

Harding...you can't have your PG barely shooting FT(s) over 50%.

Unreal, he has to know that’s were he’s going to be at the end of games. Shocking for how well he prepares and plays in all other areas

 

[InGoodCo]

Legend?
