Iowa vs Purdue gamethread

[1977Hawkeye]

cold shooting or what? i'm in the dark here.

Purdue's defense is suffocating us... Alot of turnovers, and tough shots being taken. Purdue on the other hand, seems to be getting alot of easy buckets in this 2nd half.

Just like the Texas game, we can play with anyone for 20 minutes. After that we just don't have the depth to compete with anyone.

Depth is a factor, but clearly both Texas and Purdue have come out in the 2nd half much more focused, and it doesn't seem we have the answers once that happens.

Hawks still battling, cut back down to 10 with 5 to go.....great play by little Lickliter to spark this run.

 

[iahawk20]

WOW!!! Lickliter with the behind the back pass to May.....and May misses but fouled.

Hawks can cut it to 8 with a made free throw here.

Yes, we are now down 8, lets pull this out.

really encouraging to hear the boys are competing hard out there and not letting them run away with it once they got the lead.

Little Lick.....human highlight reel!!!

Now we just need to cover that 13 point spread for a moral victory.

Nice to see Fuller play so well tonight. Lickliter made the most of his minutes, unreal game for him.

 

[RLeahey14]

Well we lose by 11, 67-56. At least we scored in the 50's today.

I only got to watch the first half and thats the first i've seen of the bb team this year. I hope we can sneak in a few upsets this season, but its not gonna be easy.

I have a feeling Purdue is going to have a tough season... they looked like crap most of the game. Hopefully it was because of Iowa's D. Iowa could win a few!
