Predict the size of the beatdown on Thursday





If we play perimeter defense it could be good but if not if feel the beatdown could go the other way. 70-63 hawks hopefully fran has that defense ready.

Do we know who the refs will be? If Hightower or Valentine, I will take the home team by 8 (Hawks down three at end and then foul, NU hits FTs to stretch lead and 4 fouls on NU go uncalled down the stretch).

If anyone other than Hightower or Valentine, it will come down to the last shot and it will be either team's game.
 


I hope I'm wrong but the Hawks can't play consistently enough yet. We have had a few good games on the defensive end but think that Shurna may be too tough for us to defend. I thought Nebraska was going to be a blow out and was dead wrong on that. I say that NW pulls this one out and probably by at least 12. NW 77 Iowa 62.

Having said that, I think that after this game we go on to win 3 of the next 4. Just something doesn't feel right when it comes to this game. Maybe because NW always has our number.

It prolly won't be Shurna that beats us, it will be the back door cuts when we start out in man guarding the perimeter and then we'll go to zone and then it will be a barrage of three pointers shot at a 66% clip that will do us in.
 




I'd like to think I'm wrong, but NW has had our number in recent years.. NW 72, Hawks 71 with a 3 at the buzzer.
 


Well if were going to win those next 16-17 games and go to the NC then I'll go with the Hawks. I'll start the game thread when it's time. :)
 






Hawks again jump to an early double digit lead and for the 3rd game in a row and not blow the lead for the 2nd game in a row.
Basabe plays his best game of the year
highlights
Hawks shoot 64.2%
Gatens 15 points 2 assists 5 Boards
Basabe 17 points, 12 Boards
White 17 points, 7 boards
Marble 14 points, 4 Assists
McCabe 10 points, 4 PF
Cartwright 7 points, 6 Assists, 3 sets of broken ankles.

88-68 win
 








Did folks here not see how NU shot the ball @ Illanoy the other night? Unfreaking real. We'll be lucky to be w/in 10 w/ a minute left.
 


we need to run as fast as possible this game. for the last 8 games Shurna hasn't been on the court for 10 minutes total. For the last 10 days, he has played 118 of 120 minutes. 3 of their players are averaging over 35 minutes and they have basically a 6 man rotation. We need to kill their legs.

You must be thinking of a different era pal. This is the Franny Mac era where we are in your jock and kick your teeth in coming off the bus or every last chair in the arena gets busted. Jinx's are for losers and little girls.
