Iowa vs. SIU-E Game Thread

Nice turn around hook by Basabe...hopefully that'll help get him going.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Nice OOP to Archie by Cartwright! Well done guys!

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Another Cougar turnover...14 for the half.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

48-13 with 1:50 to go 1st half.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Who the hell is Riley Smith?

I see Wisky beat Boston College today...can we count that on the Big10-ACC Challenge total???

Yes, and we count Minny over UNC. We are up 2-0

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Love the tempo...still need to work on the rebouding.

SWEET! I thought someone from the conference had beaten UNC, but couldn't remember who the hell it was! Even though I watched some of it...

Per the BTN-Iowa scored UNDER 50 points 8 times last year. Not sure if this years team will be able to do some of this in the B10 but it beats the hell out of watching Todd's teams.

Dude, we aren't going to blow anyone out. This could end up being a "too close for comfort" game. Iowa may be a Big Ten school but they aren't any better than some low-major schools right now. Iowa wins but it will be close, especially if Cartwright struggles.

Iowa, 66-59

One of these day's you might be right about something with all your negativity dealing with Iowa basketball and your ignorance/stupidity won't look so bad.

Maybe my memory is bad but I have seen more positives during this half than I can remember during the last 3 years. Still have much to work on - especially boards - but I love the intensity, the defense, the ball movement, and what looks like a team having fun.
I know the Big 10 will be VERY LONG, but at least these guys seem to enjoy playing together - don't remember that for a long time.

Enjoy a rare win Hawk fans!

So what will our ranking be next week.

Shouldn't we enjoy them all, no matter how many there are?

I think the Hawks are staring a tourney bid right in the face.

Just imagine if we had a true big man in the lineup.

Brommer's big.

 

[RyeHawk]

I don't care if this is a "rare win" or not this is how basketball should be played. I will watch more basketball this year than I did the last three if these guys play with this much fight.

With all of the medical research the university hospital does, I'm disappointed that Cole isn't 6'10" by now!

 

[DeputyHawk]

Brommer's big.

I meant a big with talent.
