Let's get the game thread started early tonight for a change: IL visits Iowa City

[STILLBUSTER]

This is how it's going to be this year ... some flashes, mostly entertaining, usually competitive, respectable grit but pretty much gonna be a bridesmaid. I'm thinking somewhere around 7, maybe 8 wins in conference and hoping to sneak into the NIT - tops.

Hawks Rebounds: 21

Illini Rebounds: 48

Wow, I didn't realize it was THAT bad.

 

[dahlhawk]

Iowa showing heart

 

[dahlhawk]

No quit in these guys!

 

[hawkeyewx]

This is almost an exact repeat of the Purdue game late... big Iowa run, nearly the same score with two minutes left. Last time Iowa petered out over the last minute or two.

Three-point game, Bitches

Sweet Jesus

Gotta love this team

 

[tweeterhawk]

If Fran continues to play his current starters Iowa will be playing from behind all season in the Big.

Beginning to think you’re right. Bench the starters, start the reserves. They bring far more competitiveness and toughness.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Ulis playing well too bad this unit was down 10 pts when they came out.

To bad Fran doesn’t coach it differently. What coach in America does what Fran does NOBODY!! The bad starting lineup created this mess!!

 

[dahlhawk]

That was off Cockburn shoulder

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Fran actually called a timeout.

 

[InGoodCo]

Win or lose, I’m pumped for this season. Iowa will get better

 

[hawkeyewx]

Probably the game there.... dagger three from Illinois, swirl-n-out for Iowa.

 

[dahlhawk]

Damm Illinois hitting big shots

 

[MILHAWKEYE]

That Plummer 3 was the dagger!

 

[spliff45]

I would be ok with Patrick never driving again

 

[hawkeyewx]

Those Murray drives for a dunk are pretty. Unfortunately, too little, too late to save the game.

 

[Hawkboys]

Keegan looked a little like Kenyon there.

 

[Seth53]

So close but yet so far....
