***Official Hawks Are Gonna Be #1 In The Country In 5 Hours Game Thread***

Gonzaga is the better team no doubt but we are a legit top 5 team. If we weren't cold as ice from the field this would be a game.

Agree

Suggs is a WarriorBeast

You need to have athleticism in the game against a team like this. Play Toussaint and Murray more minutes.

Iowa couldn’t buy a three today

I’m most disappointed in JBo, he didn’t show up to play today.

Yeah we needed his offense today and he didn’t have it. Disappointed in his play for sure.

Hope Fran has learned something today. If Jbo is not hitting and is out quicked by opposing guards which is almost always and is turning it over, he needs to sit. Joe T. can match up much better with quicker opponents.

Not a bad loss at this time of year. Better playing this type of team than the cannon-fodder teams. Hawks will improve from this.

 

[VTHawk]

Fran's too damn loyal. If Jordan isn't hitting...he needs to go to the pine.

Yeah but no one was hitting three's.

 

[thedukeofearl]

The good news

The MotherFuckers can't put 100 points on the Hawks

 

[Ree4]

I want a rematch. Considering how shitty we played, we still had a shot

 

[Fryowa]

I figured it’d be around 10 pts, this isn’t the end of the world.

But Bohannon needs to just quit and become a full time youtuber and podcaster. He spends waaaaaaay more time every week doing that than he does basketball anyway.

Toussaint not starting is a felony level crime.

Yep...Iowa has played enough tomato cans.

As others have said, Gonzaga is the better team, but Iowa can hang with anyone.

True but you saw today that Toussaint has his own issues. We just don't have a sound floor general.

 

[trj]

When teams can match or exceed Iowa in terms of tempo/pace .......Jbo’s role needs to be different. He can’t be asked to be facilitator. Good news is that not many teams in the Big Ten can go toe to toe with Iowa with tempo/pace.

 

[Seth53]

With Garza being Garza, if we hit our 3's and FT's, we can beat the top teams.
If we don't, we can lose to top teams.

 

[BigD]

The three’s just weren’t falling for us while they shot 50% from three point land.

If zags just shot the norm of 33% from three points land and we hit our average three point percentage then this game is a totally different game.

A player like Toussaint is going to create a few turnovers but he was on the court for 6 less minutes than JBo, created 1 fewer turnover, and scored 12 more points.

Suggs had the game of his life today

He shoots at a normal rate and things might have had a different outcome

Good point. But I still think we don't have a solid floor general no matter who plays. But your right J Bow should be put in at the 2 just for his 3 point shooting. If he ain't hitting take him out.

That guy will be a solid NBA player.
