Pitt scored 22 points in the 2nd half. That'll work.

Can't wait to crush these fucks again in the NIT

The team looked a lot better in the second half. It helped that Pitt's shooting came back down to earth, but we definitely upped our defensive intensity. Also, I love Weiskamp.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

WOW! Hawks really played about as poorly as they have all year - bad D, missed opps, poor free throw shooting - and STILL came out alive.

I don’t know about #14 but MAYBE for real?

 

[99topdawg]

We made 7 2-point baskets tonight. Yikes!

 

[Northside Hawk]

Wow! Great win!

Didn't watch game. Did the defense tighten up in second half or did Pitt just cool down.

Looked like clutch shooting by Baer.

Fran with a close win.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Good teams don't win ugly...right?

Hard won game

They didn't give up

This is a Good Thing

Hopefully, this is a valuable learning experience

 

[smhawk]

Yea nice rebounding cook but eek cook can do more offensively. Or at least hit your free throws..

 

[DDThompson]

dodged a bullet.. and 3 refs. Lets b honest- we didn't deserve 2 win

Toughness. Yeah. We deserved it.

 

[InGoodCo]

Gotta take it. I love ugly wins. D was much better 2nd half. Iowa was out of sorts all night tonight, still found a way to win. Keep it going.

 

[1977Hawkeye]

Not pretty at all but I'll sure take it.

Difference between previous years is getting stops down the stretch.

 

[skinnykilmer17]

Lol cook briefly lost his mind

Very strange behavior.

Ugly down the stretch but we picked up the defensive intensity. Gutty performance.

 

[DDThompson]

Too bad Iowa won so ESPNU team had to talk a little Iowa.

All about CapelU

 

[ForeverHawk]

Hawks won this game with second half defense. Pitt only 22 points in the second half. Nothing out of Garza or Cook, not much out of Bohannon and Moss and they still found a way to win. Lots of room for improvement.

Defense definitely tightened up. Forced 10 or 11 TOs in the second half alone. Played with much better energy.

 

[Northside Hawk]

We made 7 2-point baskets tonight. Yikes!

Those are Lickliter stat lines. I remember a close win vs Northwestern in 2009 where they made 3 two point baskets.

Both

Yep, defense wins. They didn't play any of it in the first half, and played pretty good D in the second half.

 

[MILHAWKEYE]

It was ugly but it's a win in the win column!

Those are Lickliter stat lines. I remember a close win vs Northwestern in 2009 where they made 3 two point baskets.

Except with Lick, we'd only have 2 3's and 5 FT's.
