JBo 3! Lands on defender's foot. Ouch.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

JBo ouch....

 

[trj]

Wow, Moss is good in transition. Impressive.

why doesn't that translate to the half court? He can't be that inept at putting the ball on the floor and driving past people

As a person who's rolled, sprained, and broken his ankles multiple times, I HATE when they show that happening in slo mo. Brings me right up out of my seat. I can actually feel that. OW!

When Drake penetrates...just a bit, Iowa defenders don't move their feet, drop their hands, and try to grab...(or often watch) yah, that works...

Are basic defensive skills taught by Fran's staff?

 

[Robowe]

Good defense by Iowa on the last possession. Iowa leads by 7 at the half.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

Bulldogs? They look more like Pugs to me.

Me too. Won't watch it. Sends a shiver up my spine every time.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

I hope I’m wrong but I sense JBO might have tough time playing on that ankle in the 2nd half..

[1hawkeye1]

And with the clock winding down we find... Ahmad Wagner for 3? *facepalm*

 

[PCHawk]

Right on pace for our 18.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

6 missed layups. pg play = conner needs to be pg. to's. 13-0 run saves iowa. hope jbo isn't hurt. need to see conner and jbo on floor at same time. hope this doesn't turn into another AW & JB in football. jbo is not a pg and he isn't even the best pg on the team, right now.

 

[BigD]

Glad to see Iowa pick it up a little in the last few minutes of the half. Was shaking my head earlier on. Even though Drake has a veteran team they are not a good team.

Iowa leads 40-33 at halftime. Iowa’s defense is doing a great job forcing turnovers, and Iowa is doing a great job scoring in the paint.

I would Rotate Connor and Dailey at point and move JBO to SG with some occasional PG if needed.

The turnovers on either side have had nothing to do with defense.

yes. jbo has only 3 or 4 shots. that needs to be double for each half. maybe fran is trying to disguise it so he can hit conference play and force teams to scramble to prepare. i don't know, but it needs to happen.
