***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Iowa vs. Texas***

[HawkeyeMike23]

Giving up 18 points in less than 4 mins is impressive

 

[docholihawk]

We gave up 24 in the first half and now 18 in the first 3 1/2 minutes of the 2nd. What is different.

 

[GoHawks24]

Great. Texas can't f'n do anything wrong now, of course. Jeebus.

 

[Bigtenchamp]

I don't think our shooting percentage is a sustainable level of low. I think Texas could finish the game shooting around what they're shooting now. We could actually pull away in the second half.

maybe not

 

[NEIChawk]

Game......

 

[PCHawk]

Did the whistle blow before the foul?

Always. It's amazing at this level they just guess. What's wrong with watching the play and taking a split second to register what happened instead of guessing and blowing the whistle at the exact same time you anticipate contact.

Mike and anthony can't drive to the hoop..have to pull up and shoot. Texas bigs are too big.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Gessell again thinks he is 6'6 driving to the hoop......

 

[GoHawks24]

I don't know what in the **** Gessell is thinking sometimes. It's like he doesn't know that he's barely 6 feet tall.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Gesell's a junior but he still drives in like he thinks he can score before throwing up a garbage shot.

 

[docholihawk]

Maybe I'm crazy but the foul calls are being whistled before we commit the fouls when they drive.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Iowa getting no calls inside now either...

 

[ColumbusHawk]

Same old, same old. Big problems in the half-court offense. Just don't have players that can create. The backcourt is way too slow to compete against quick players. The rout is on!

 

[Jjgoiowa11]

Dear Mike,
Please just distribute and shoot.

Youre not very tall so going to the hole and lobbing up garbage isnt the best idea
Thanks, Jj

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Mike and anthony can't drive to the hoop..have to pull up and shoot. Texas bigs are too big.

and neither of those guys are good shooters...so we got that going for us.

 

[docholihawk]

Has Texas committed a foul this half.

 

[spliff45]

To say the guard play sucks is being kind

 

[bcl20]

Yeah, these guys are better than us. Have to find a way to get to the line again.

 

[ibahawkeye]

Has Texas committed a foul this half.

Stop... that's not the problem.

 

[PCHawk]

Maybe I'm crazy but the foul calls are being whistled before we commit the fouls when they drive.

It's funny how a Gusell drives and the refs wait to see what happens but then their guard drives against Gabe who is one of the best shot blockers around and they blow the whistle at the exact same time he jumps to block it. So annoying.
