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

[wundergrape]

The player to watch is Woody. If he can keep winning possession battles, we'll be in the final.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Woody, White and Uthoff are a combined 7/12, we're 8/31 as a team.

Had to miss the first half but I will get to witness us playing better in the 2nd and hopefully win. The fact that we're up aftr reading through the thread is encouraging.

Iowas guards went 1-16 shooting in the first half. That's where the frustration came from. But Iowa's D has played really well.

 

[ibahawkeye]

it's clear the difference thus far is the free throw line.

 

[FCAS]

in defense of MG, I think he is doing well on the defensive side

 

[wundergrape]

One thing that really struck me is that we seem to have a strong team identity while Texas doesn't. It's been a long time since those shoes were on their respective feet.

 

[ibahawkeye]

Uthoff has to either foul and make sure he can't convert or just let him go.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Good start to the half

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

And just like that it's a tie game...

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Well this is not a great start to the 2nd half.....Texas playing a bit chippy....

 

[docholihawk]

Did the whistle blow before the foul?

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

White with the answer

 

[ibahawkeye]

Mike has created penetration on back to back trips.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

Gesell made a jumper!!!

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Jok has to make that shot. and Fran needs to take a TO.

 

[docholihawk]

Are we getting whistled on every defensive play now?

 

[spliff45]

Iowa = 2nd half fail so far

 

[spliff45]

******* pathetic

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

You knew Texas wasn't going to stay ice cold. Not sure if Iowa's guards can come out of hibernation.

 

[BILLBUCKNER]

2 wide open looks from the 3 for Clemons=clanks..difference in this game.
