Official Iowa @ Ohio St game thread

I said a few times during the game "man does every bounce go their way". The last 5 minutes or so, pretty much every bounce went our way.

It was nice to have the bounces go our way. It often feels like they go our opponents way.

Hard earned needed W...lets keep the effort goin forward.

Looked like a track meet at the end and we had the better athletes!

The metric numbers love Iowa, but we don't want Tom Burnett(committee tournament chair) on selection Sunday explaining why or why didn't the Hawks make the dance. You want it drama free and it might as well start today. I am going against the naysayers and say Iowa wins 82-76

Turned out to be a good call. Iowa has had some success in that building in the Fran era and had some more today.

Big Jam follow up by Perkins. Guard play issues in this game already apparent....wish we could have guys get to the rim like them.

Well evidently we have at least one. Perkins.

 

[HuckFinn]

We better hope JT, Uhlis, and Perkins come back next year. If Phillip has another year of eligibility (anyone know for sure) that would be a plus.

ya, that did not exactly come out right. I think what I was trying to say if we can have guards that can consistently drive to the rim and score. That said, after the beginning of the game, we did get good stretches out of Perkins, JT, and Ulis.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Well the hawks got that crappy last loss back with a stunning win.

Great. I thought they were about to implode after the Mich loss. Now you wonder how the hell did they lose to Mich.

Is it just intensity with this team and wanes once in awhile???

I posted somewhere that a quick turnaround might work in this team's favor.

This turnaround was about as quick as it gets, especially with travel involved. But in this case it seemed to work.

 

[Dadman]

Lot of good things in yesterdays game- the 1st half comeback, the 2nd half tenacity when Keegan was the focus of OS defense.......I do think Ulis is taking steps forward, although sometimes he seems to be to intent on being the finisher. I guess if it gets him to the line, that's not all bad, but sometimes I wish he would look to an open teammate......but yesterday, it seemed like there was a a bit more intensity in the Murray dynamic when they were on the floor together. I think time is running out to see them play together at a high level, so I hope we see more in remaining games.

Ulis and Murray need to be on the court more! Iowa is a way better team especially Defensively and Offensively smoother with both of them out there than wasting away on the Bench. I truly hope Fran continues this moving forward..

I’ve said it all season.. Murray Twins, Ulis, PMAC and Jbo (When Hitting) if not Perkins. Is the Iowa’s best Iowa Lineup!! Yesterday’s game is solid PROOF of that!!

Joe T. The kid needs to slow the hell down he plays way to recklessly.

Great Win yesterday!

Yeah, Wade Lookingbill talked about this on a local radio show a couple of weeks ago. He was saying May, June and July are the times to "fix" your jumper. He was speaking specifically about Perkins and at the time Pmac. His opinion was get buckets anyway you can and worry about your jumper in the off season.

Pmac has found his stroke, but for Perk you want him to attack the rim, shoot the floaters and figure out the jumper later.

Wade Lookingbill! There's a name from the archives. I knew his sister a little bit in college.

Wade had back surgery in mid career,, built himself into a solid player, then really elevated his role after Chris Street accident. A good modern day comp to Lookingbill would be Nicholas Baer.

Good comparison.
