Iowa vs. Sparty Pants Game Thread

[STILLBUSTER]

Pretty week showing on HN, given the opponent.

Uh, I'm right here and can read everything u r typing.

Another flop by trice and he gets the call then flops on his layup right at the buzzer and finally it doesnt get called. Seriously can we get zach mccabe back to lay this kid out?

Good half! Everyone contributing, Uhl with some real solid minutes, Gabe being a beast again, Jok and MG knocking down some shots, finish strong now!

Weird that the refs who aren't taking Izzo's **** are dudes I've never heard of. No wait, they probably aren't in boys club.

Iowa's playing very, very good in the first half. No second half meltdown please.

Very impressive half for Gabe. Iowa up double digits after slow start. Keep it up!

Amen! One more flop & he should be kicked out of the game.

Gabe's cocky arm raise thing was awesome. I like when this team shows swagger that isn't against their own crowd.

 

[mopkins]

Please (times a thousand) dont come out flat to start the second half

 

[Hawknick]

Trice with 3 flops, and 2 of them were called that's a 66% rate. I hope the refs clean that up a bit in the second half and reduce his flop success rate to 0%.

It'd be neat if Sparty comes out flat (or focuses too much on the refs) and we blow them out. Kinda like we randomly did Fran's first year.

Ball movement has been as good as I've seen it in quite awhile. Makes a huge difference.

Bout time the refs T'ed up Izzo for one of his tantrums! Nice to see it get called the other way for a change.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Hopefully the officating does not do a 180 in the 2nd half.

There is a thread about Gabe starting instead of Woody. I don't necessarily agree, but I've said for a few games that I would like to see him start the 2nd half to see if his offense can help cure some of those issues.

Why did it take so long to start utilizing the post?

i think Joks biggest assest to the team is that he actually understands how to make a simple post entry feed.

He and Gabe on one side is a good look.

 

[Hawknick]

Both centers were in there for a while, maybe some more of that would be good since they are both dominating.

Bo and Izzo make just as many stupid faces as pre-2014-2015 Fran did. For some reason refs enjoy seeing their ugly mugs and do nothing about it.

Uhl had a real nice entry pass too, was def good to see.

I like it, twin towers, although with Utoff you could call it triple towers

Agreed. Jok has very good passing skills.
