ok. we r gonna come out for the first 4 minutes of the second half and put these clowns away. right? Dear God. please please please please please please please please please please please please please.

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

Puff Puff PASS!

 

[HawkeyeMcNutt]

Let's Go Hawks!

The cold shooting by Ilinois from 3 scares the crap out of me in the Second Half. They are getting really good looks and missing, they not missing because of our stellar D that is for damn sure. The other thing that is getting REALLY OLD is the OFFENSIVE BOARDS.. Block out IOWA!!

 

[STILLBUSTER]

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

Not quite there on Fran, yet. Tho he's done himself no favors with his f'd up line changes and persistent infatuation with Oglesby. He's so smitten with him my teenage daughter is embarrassed for him.

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

When you don't secure the long rebounds it leads to open 3 looks.

If Iowa could have rebounded better in that half they would be up by ten minimum.

 

[jacknicholson]

Haha...15 stright misses by Illinois at one point...Iowa up by 3.
^^^mad laugh, not laffy laugh.

supremely frustrating

 

[Jjgoiowa11]

Idk is it so much to ask to somehow find a way to get the ball to woodbury? Maybe im dumb. Just keep JO shooting tho.

Not rebounding is what happens when you play zone, unfortunately.

Ok. Im dumb.

 

[RocknRollface]

Great play by Adam to avoid the travel followed up by an awful shot lol.

 

[herkytime]

Love the intensity Woody is showing but you got to get better looks then that bud.

 

[MeatMan]

[jacknicholson]

Mel can hit them from that range.....

True, but they were hitting them in their regular sets at the end too when we went to a zone for whatever reason.
