!*****Official Iowa @ Pleasantville Nebraska Game Thread*****!

This was on a hostile home court, against a team that is on a roll, all while a crazy mad man in a pink shirt is begging for a restraining order 5 feet away. A great experience..a great opportunity to use it as a springboard. Build on this effort. Even Bohannon. Struggled a little, but he's a freshman and the tourney this year was always a long shot. I'll take the education of I must. We can all be excited with the incoming talent next year. Wow

Maybe for you because you have some sort of personal axe to grind.
If you expected him to be an all big ten PG and all world defender 15 games into his career, that's a you problem.

I didn't expect much and have been pleasantly surprised with what he has done.

That is pretty much where I am at. I really didn't expect him to do much at all this year, and if you are actually a Hawk fan it is hard to understand why one would be bashing on Jordan at this point with what he has shown he can do so far. Even the more skeptical of Hawk fans in Lightning has said he is much better than he thought he would be. 56 is just a troll.

Lightning just criticized his defense and said it will be a struggle all year which is what I've been saying

All of us have criticized his defense, most Fr. struggle with defense. What you are doing is rooting against Jordan and trolling.

Yep, if Iowa doesn't piss away the game in the first OT, Jordan is "clutch" for hitting that shot and putting them up 4 in OT. As it is, Jok misses a bunny, Pemsl turns the ball over and Iowa pisses away the 4 pt lead and we go to double OT.

In all fairness we should have lost the game in regulation with Jok's boneheaded TO and then Nebby missed FT's. WTF was he doing driving to the basket with 7 seconds left anyway???

Do you feel the need to clarify every compliment with a criticism? Nobody has said he's a great defender. He probably never will be, but he has been far better overall than anyone expected.

Jok said he got hit on that shot. Replay looked clean.

I don't think he's been better overall than expected. He's a little better offensively and a little worse defensively in my opinion

If you post anything remotely close to a compliment about Jordan, 56 makes it his personal mission to make sure said compliment is refuted.......I mean any good Hawk fan can't let a compliment go unchecked don't ya know.....

Weird, I rarely see a post about Uhl. I certainly don't know of a poster who has a personal mission to counter any and every compliment of Uhl??

I see people complaining about Uhl on this board all the time. I guarantee if you start complimenting him people would disagree with you

Lots of people complain about players, Jordan, Uhl, heck Jok. Nobody but you trolls about a specific player tho.

Start pumping sunshine about Uhl around here and see if you have specific posters complaining. I get it Bohannon is a fan favorite to pretty much everyone but me because he's a local kid that can shoot 35% from 3. I'd much rather have a player like Watson and so would Fran

I'd personally rather get a Ball or a Ulis type, but that is me. I also wish he got Leaf over Cook. Man that dude is GOOD!

As it stands we ended up with Bohannon and Cook, so even though I wanted other players more, and those other players are much better, I'll still root for the player that are on the team and choose to become Hawks.

I still root for them too including Bohannon. You also have to realize I have posters calling me out saying I was wrong about him when I wasn't
 
Iowa needs an elite PG to be an upper level team in the conference and country...the parts are in place...someone come to Iowa to lead this team!!!!!
