Nubby Nebby Game Thread

Before the season I expected the first two conference games to be losses. Although tonight was ugly to watch, it's still a win.

I'll take it.

Same here I'll take a win any way we can get it and hope for a tourney bid. But I don't see it unless they start shooting the ball a whole lot better

38.6% shooting. YOWWWWW

Thank god that's over. Go Hawks!!

 

[1hawkeye1]

G'nite, go HAWKS!

Gesell making free throws at the end is good to see.

Why so much JO and so little Jok? Could have used Jok's offense in 2nd half.

He refused to shoot wide open shots. Not sure what was going on there.

 

[PCHawk]

Just an easy double digit victory. No big deal.

Well I guess an ugly win is better than an ugly loss? The Hawks closed this one out which is a positive. Hit FT's for the most part. A wins a win!

In Heaven There Is No Beer...70-59...not a pretty win, but 2-0 start to B1G feels better than 0-2

 

[ForeverHawk]

First time with a 2-0 start in 12 years.

 

[Insaneasylm]

38.6% shooting. YOWWWWW

And down to 40% on the season

We shot bad and still beat a team that shot great. Not a lot of teams can do that.

Nebraska is a really good defensive team. We probably weren't going to shoot well considering our struggles. But we out toughed them. A Fran coached Iowa team grinded out a victory. Really the second time we've done that this year. This team does have some guts. We'll see if they have the talent to continue to pull out some wins but they've shown some toughness. They've taken their lumps too but the next game they come out swinging.

I'm hoping the Iowa State/UNI stretch was the bottoming out moment and it will be mostly uphill from here.

Really curious now to see how we come out next game vs MSU.

We made free throws. They didn't.

He refused to shoot wide open shots. Not sure what was going on there.

Probably because he missed three wide open shots, then lost confidence.

Can Gabe please get a start over Woodbury for christ sakes?

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

Ugly win but a solid one. Iowa (especially White) really stepped up late.
Iowa still has issues shooting, but they play some great defense.

Or at least start the 2nd half. That's when we really need him to start the half good.
