**OFFICIAL HAWKS FORCED TO GO TO NEW JERSEY GAME THREAD**

[Stanzi]

If Iowa doesn’t start matching Rutgers intensity we will lose by double digits..

I'm not sure that's the issue. Rutgers intensity should have led to several more fouls and turnovers but the refs aren't calling anything on them.

Five TOs in Iowa's last six possessions.

I turned on the tv about 7 minutes ago and I think Iowa has shot the ball once.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Despite the turnovers we are only behind by 2

 

[trj]

Rutgers inability to shoot from the outside will keep Iowa in this.

 

[Stanzi]

How the hell was that a foul on Iowa??

 

[mopkins]

Fran is mostly zone which is great but Iowa is giving up too many offensive boards

 

[Stanzi]

Their big guy should be fouled out by now. Going over the back and shoving in the back on every freaking rebound.

 

[Healzya]

Lads need to settle down a bit

Perhaps attempt to get a defensive rebound every now and then

Tough as Rutgers over the back on every board.

 

[Ree4]

Getting bent over by the refs already

We clearly watch the game differently because Rutgers has had way to many 2nd and 3rd chance offensive opportunities early in this game because they are playing with more intensity

Announcers boring, officiating poor, small crowd................ I hope this isn’t the makings of a trap game

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Wieskamp looking like a freshman so far. Two ill advised drives leading to turnovers.

Many of those- JoVeis, Garza, Cook ...all leading to a TO. If ur gonna drive to the rim, SHOOT THE DAMN BALL!

I'm not saying they aren't playing with intensity I'm saying they've been lucky that their intensity hasn't lead to fouls and turnovers (which it would by refs who aren't blind).

 

[HuckFinn]

7 turnovers, mostly unforced. Calm down?

 

[hagarwood]

7 turnovers and 5 made baskets is not the formula for success.

It’s overdue and, so far, looks like it.

 

[BigD]

Lol, a sell out at 7000 fans

 

[Stanzi]

Lazy passing drives me absolutely crazy and Cook is the worst offender of that I've seen in recent memory.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Maybe that D stop wakes up the guys’ intensity and focus.

 

[mopkins]

Baer 3. Iowas first lead of the day
