Official Iowa @ Penn St Game Thread

Has there ever been a Hawkeye team that’s shot this poorly percentage wise over this many games?

Honest question.

These guys couldn’t hit water from a boat.

Couldn't fall out of a boat and hit water

When Fran benches his kids, we'll see a competitive game. Patrick hurts Iowa more then he helps.

Said after game 1 that he was the ONLY player that looked like zero physical, skills and smarts progress from last year. He's always only been good for spurts. Often at the right time but spurts, nontheless. If he ain't hitting shots, the rest of his game is often a liability.

 

[Dadman]

They need that hypnotist from the movie The Natural to do his thing!

Shooting is awful.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

This team is done.

Although unlikely to happen (Penn State always goes crazy against Iowa at home.) they REALLY needed to steal this one. At the very least, play competitive and look competent. A 3rd blowout in a row - with 2 more coming at Indy and Rutgers ... pretty tough to recover.

He has regressed both of the last 2 years. Badly misses a shot on one end / gives up easy bucket on the defensive end the next play. He jogs everywhere with no hustle & no defense. Way too much playing time

Just think if they had beat Wisky and EIU we would feel completely different about the season.

That pass to Kris inside

Was like tossing a life saver to the lads in the Alamo

If you ever get to State College you’ll see why. The only thing they get attendance for is football because they’re 3 hours from anywhere.

It’s a tiny little town way the hell out in the boonies. They don’t have a Des Moines or CR or Waterloo type town anywhere near that place.

Blew my mind how isolated that place was the first time I went there.

Straight Facts!!! Both Connor and Patrick get WAY TO MANY MINUTES!!! There isn’t a moment in any game where one isn’t on the court. It’s laughable! You know damn well the other players see that crap too..

 

[thedukeofearl]

Remember that there is a backboard, Aaron

 

[Fryowa]

Great. More Sandfort.

We need that about as much as we need more cowbell

 

[Fryowa]

We haven’t had a guy (PG or otherwise) who could drive to the hole since Gesell. And that was a LONG time ago.

 

[Fryowa]

Did Sandfort even try for that rebound? Jesus.

 

[trj]

Ulis needs to stop shooting.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Sandfort could win the Powerball

Pay it all to buy a basket

And still miss

He was thinking about it, Fry

 

[STILLBUSTER]

That was absolutely hideous - unacceptable to miss that wide open layup with an airball!

Ulis has been GOD awful for a few weeks. Is there a reason we haven't seen Bowen??

Toussaint. I know he was turnover prone at times but he could take another pg of the dribble & was able to get to the rim. Iowa needs him right now.
