SO PROUD OF THIS TEAM

[ChosenChildren]

Huge win. Just huge. Unbelievable effort. Way to go Hawkeyes and Coach Fran

 

[1977Hawkeye]

Really gritty win over an OSU team that is young (in spots), but has talent. They'll only get better.

Going on the road and winning any conference game is great, but this was a very nice win.

 

[SpecialKHawk]

That was B1G!

9 more regular season wins gets us in.

9 more regular season wins gets us in.

I hope we get more than that. 19-12 might be a tough in. If we get beat first rd of BTT, that would be 19-13

19-13 would typically be pretty tough to sell, I agree, but having road wins over UNC and OSU is about as close to pocket aces as a potential bubble team can have. Whether we get to 10-8, I don't know. But as long as we avoid any embarrassing losses and get to 10 conference wins, it might actually be doable now.

1 step at a time. But this is definitely a resume padding type win.

So Proud? Please never use that phrase on this board again.

Agree.... 17 more to play plus the tourney. A lot can happen as we saw last year but this is a good start.

A great start would be if we can somehow, someway hold home court against Nebby & MSU

They've finished two tough games on the road this year something that was not accomplished last year.

The big U and Jok hitting shots early and often was also key, great win for the Hawks let's grab 10 more and go dancing, for real this time...

I liked the fact that they hung in there when the going got tough, instead of folding. That is going to pay dividends down the road, as it was a huge confidence builder. Now they know they can win a tight game.

The Hawks showed a lot of heart and hustle today.

It was a Heckuva great win, for this team.
As Fran said after the game, 'the season is a journey and this Win shows
what this group can do.'

Yep, you are right. Got me on that one......should have said So Pwoud

I am very happy for Fran and this team. This was a great win and hopefully a building block for this team's confidence moving forward.

You deserved the thumbs down you got for clearly submitting an inflammatory and controversial post. I mean, it was just laced with inflammatory language.

Eh, ok.

I think we had something like 4 straight turnovers down the stretch. But we didn't fold. I think the UNC win was a factor in this win. Now, we need to keep composure going and learn composure when we're playing from behind.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

Eh, ok.

To be clear, I was being as sarcastic as is possible for a person to be.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

Eh, ok.

Okay, you owe me a random thumbs up that I don't deserve.

I even included the sarcasm icon in my post. LOL.

 

[kicker22]

If only we could open conference play on the road every year. Oh wait never mind.
