Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread
Yep. Dive into the paint and as soon as you get a body on someone throw up the ball. Automatic foul. Heard someone comment on ESPN about that the other day. He was actually in favor of the new rules emphasis but made a great point, said as soon as the offensive player turns his back to the basket and initiates a power move, he's made the decision not to play a finesse game and the referees need to give defensive players the ability to defend a power move with a physical defensive stance. When a guys is facing up, trying to breakdown a defender and make a move in space, then defenders should be held to a hands-off standard.

Makes one wonder how we are ahead despite the discrepancy. We are outplaying them. Halftime adjustments always make me nervous.....

Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread
I guess as long as Niang leads with his shoulder/arm into the chest of a defender, he's allowed to do that. The next time he does that I want Woody or Gabe or Stokes to grab it and pull him down. Get the charge.

It feels like Iowa is the better team. However, it's the kind of game in which Iowa could lead by 5-10 points the entire game and then get sloppy for a minute or two and lose it. Let's hope they can keep countering ISU's runs and get the big win.

I didn't say how many more they made, I just said if you told me ISU was getting to the FT line that much more, I would have thought that is bad news for Iowa. As it is, we withstood it.

it's a very fast-paced game, but each team has only 4 turnovers. Hawks outrebounding Iowa St, 25-20.

Bull. There were times when Basabe and White got mugged at the rim with no call, then they go the other way and the whistle blows from a bump. Heck, Woody got called for a foul for waiving at a rebound.

Yep. And the foul on him wasnt a foul IMO. He got there before the guy had anything going up. And stayed straight up.

Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread
yup. he was showing it to coach. that was maybe a missed call right at the end.
also, the tb commentary about white "with two hand on the back of the cyclone player should be an automatic foul". bs. they showed the reply while he was saying it, and white barely had one hand on his back. the other was in the air. made the commentator sound like a 5th grade kid just making excuses.

Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread
some really interesting stats so far.
Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Iowa State Cyclones - Box Score - December 13, 2013 - ESPN
White with 13 and 7
Iowa shooting 47%
ISU 38%
will that last?

Yep. Also apparently dribbling is optional for Niang. He can take as many steps as he wants. He reminds me of a tap dancer.

Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread
Iowa will probably play a little more zone in the second half to reduce the fouls, but I like the way they are playing their man to man D. Iowa State won't stay cold at the line and will likely do better from the 3 line, where they are currently 2 for 10. I hope McCabe can get some points, the Hawks need his offense.

Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread
I thought the same thing. It looked bent, like in a bad way
Re: Official Iowa vs. ISU Game Thread
Eh, some ticky tack crap, but not much that I would say definitely WASN'T a foul, except one on Woody swiping at a rebound, getting air and being whistled. But I'm with you on Niang. At least twice he dribbled hard into Basabee, drove him back a good foot and a half with his shoulder and nothing. Once, you say maybe they missed it. Allowing it twice is questionable.
