***OFFICIAL Iowa vs Illanoy must win game thread***

[HawkeyeShane]

You see all those threes they shot? Sometimes they make those.

They started hitting them tonight, when we inexplicably decided to stop guarding the arc.

Hard to believe that Illinois went Oglesby for 15 at one point. If Iowa can cut back on the silly Oglesby's they can win this game. If they don't they will end up with another Oglesby.

 

[spliff45]

somebody PLEASE explain why JO has a scholarship?????? 1-5 yet again.

 

[hawkeye12345]

Worst shooter in the nation for players with atleast 90 shots.

 

[ssckelley]

Leading scorer is Woody with 6 points. Plus he has 2 blocks already! Whar Duff?

 

[ajkhawkeye]

The fouls on key guys is really hurting too. 3 or 4 of our top guys with two fouls really kills us.

 

[BasketballMan]

Jeebus...Tim Doyle....can he put on any more foundation before it slides off?

hahahahahaha. what do you expect from a geek from northwestern?

 

[herkytime]

I think Fran and Ferentz are cut from the same WTF cloth. They make watching most Hawk games painful.

 

[BasketballMan]

Of course! That makes all the sense in the world. What about 6 misses by Oglesby in the first, on the heals of around 150 for the year? Yet, he's still on the court.

Glad Fran has priorities straight -- prove his point and undermine the production of the team. Nice job, coach.

could not agree more.....

Can't see the game.... what's the score?

 

[HawkeyeShane]

"Minnesota at Nebraska" and the BTN must not have had any footage of Mbakwe dunking in a win as they showed him throw one down in a 21pt loss at Iowa...

 

[woodyk1]

Can't see the game.... what's the score?

31-28 Hawks up at halftime.

 

[BasketballMan]

Can't see the game.... what's the score?

31-28 good guys at the half

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Think we can continue shooting nearly 50%? I guess most of those have been layups from beating the zone so maybe.

Odds say nope. History proves things will even out..

 

[twinlaker]

Thanks Woody/BBall man...

 

[STILLBUSTER]

2nd half is where Iowa really pisses all over themselves so we shall see how they come out.

Oh, it's all going as predicted. Iowa shooting nearly 50%. We all know that ain't gonna stick. Illannoy heating up and out hustling Iowa to close the first half.

This 3 point lead will be rear-view about 18 minute mark.

Another come-from-ahead loss 71-65.

The only unknown is if they can get home court for the 1st 2 of the NIT.

 

[bcl20]

ILHawk's favorite team is down by 3.

 

[SamsonHawk515]

JO, clearly has massive dirt on Fran, Barta, and S. Mason. They cant let the info get out, he has to play it's for the good of the University. Just accept it.

A lot of that 50% is because we are getting it inside against the zone. It's sustainable.
