AH POOP! Way to battle Hawks! The season was a lot better than I had ever expected!

 

[hawkinstl]

If the coaching staff and players learn to play just average defense, take care of the ball and make free throws, they will be a very good team.

I won't wait for that to happen though. It's not part of the MO for these three things to matter much based on history.

 

[tksirius]

JBo 25 pts, 13 assists, 7 threes

 

[ClintonIAfan]

That should have been an f1 foul against tcu 33 on that last possession if the Baer foul was considered to be.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

This team won't improve if the D doesn't improve.

Yup. Just can't get past how really, really good this team might be if they can just learn to play even below average defense. Below average would still raise every one of their defensive rankings 50 spots.

 

[TySash9]

Good shot for a not very good shooter. No problem getting an open shot period. Looking forward to next year. Let's get another pg in the spring somehow please.

 

[99topdawg]

We missed e l e v e n free throws. Understandable if we shot 50 of them. We shot 19.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Bohannon, Jok, and Cook. No way this team should've been in NIT. #Coaching

Your crazy!! Fact is Coaching got them as far as they did this year, this team grew together and to rip on that staff shows lots of Ignorance on your part. How this team played down the stretch the last month vs where they were at the beginning and middle shows how stupid that comment is.

 

[DDThompson]

Don't like the reset of fouls in overtime.

Agreed. That's not going to work.

Isn't OT a continuation of the second half's "second segment."?

 

[atomicblue224]

You know what ? I'm so proud of these guys and the way they fought back. Go Hawks!

 

[EstronHawkKing]

Guys, it was fun conversing with you on these game threads this basketball season. What a crazy up and down season, but we had some great wins, like Iowa St, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maryland and Purdue (all teams in the NCAA Tournament.) I really hope this team works on their defense, because we can score like crazy. I also hope we can contend for the Big 10 next year and get back to the Big Dance and make a deep run.

Damn STRAIGHT!!!

We missed e l e v e n free throws. Understandable if we shot 50 of them. We shot 19.

8-19 free throw shooting at home from big time college players is unacceptable regardless of how young they are.

Lots of work to do in the off-season. I'd start tomorrow if I were the coaching staff.

*you're

Figured that would be all you got.

 

[Stanzi]

That flagrant foul call was unconscionably bad. I do not understand how you make that call. Those refs were fucking terrible.

 

[tksirius]

Figured that would be all you got.

Players are to blame. Fran is god. Kirk is also god. Refs are angels that do no wrong. Am I doing it right?

What I saw TK was Young team that grew together as a team.. I thought you of all people with your BB knowledge would see that. Guess I was wrong!

 

[thedukeofearl]

Lack of awareness on D is killing us.....

Against a team that nails almost every three and is extremely adept at the rim requires rather devout D to proceed with success.....

Still uncertain if we emerge victorious, far behind real time.....

I shall be quiet until I can officially determine the outcome of this one

I am somewhat apprehensive however

That was the right call. Baer grabbed/slapped at the guys shoulders instead of his arms.

 

[Stanzi]

That was the right call. Baer grabbed/slapped at the guys shoulders instead of his arms.

I respectfully 100% disagree. You can't make that call there it was just a total bail out when Baer was clearly going for the ball.
