The official early bring your war paint because someone is getting out of the basement game thread

Is there a requirement for all Iowa athletic teams that we must be slow, Caucasian and plodding? A state legislature thingy maybe

 

[slmatt]

If you were a potential D1 talent and had thought about Iowa buoy wouldn't definitely say NO watching this game. I don't see a change in the future without new blood at the helm. I don't see that happening so I really hope I'm wrong!

What's the opposite of Guard U?

Iowa is “Won’t Guard U”

 

[judzeehawk]

Sure glad we're not playing the game.......when Illinois makes a 3 take a drink!

 

[PCHawk]

Quiet positive. 14-14 fts.

Even more reason why we won't win a game. We will do whatever it takes to lose. Good night at the line? Let's turn it over 20 times. Only 6 turnovers this game? Let's go 3 for 15 at the line. Shooting lights out from 3? Let's give up 50 points of dunks and layups. It's always something.

This halftime deficit is nothing for a team with heart...I wonder how Iowa will do second half?

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Iowa doesn’t cover sharpshooters, they make them

Well played.

 

[SidFarkas]

This Smithwicks is tasty

 

[1hawkeye1]

Seriously guys...why do we do continue to watch this crap?

 

[Motigerhawk]

Glad I missed that era.

Got me thinking, did Lickliter ever go winless in a B1G conference season?

 

[tksirius]

Tick tock TK.. Just a matter of time.,

Lol what do you mean?

 

[Stanzi]

Hopefully we can figure out how to play some defense in the second half.

 

[HawkU]

Looks like 9 of 15, so far

60%

One of these days we will realize the advantage of covering sharpshooters on the wings and corners

Alas

Sometimes they don't know in advance. Too many times they only become sharpshooters when playing us. Arghhhh!

Nope. He never finished last either

 

[thedukeofearl]

Four things stand out with the game stats

Bohannon has only attempted 2 threes

We have the lead in turnovers 11-4

We have made every free throw.....14 for 14

We also have outrebounded them.....18-12

We will not win a game with Jordan only taking 4 threes the entire game

He is adept at shooting on the run, off the dribble before the D is set

Of course, they have a lot to time to set their D after a made basket

Some 8.2 PPG 1.8 RPG Illinois average dude is due to have a career game:

Say 27 pts (5-7 3FG) 11 Rebs ?

T.Frazier
season: 9.3 pts (27.7 3FG%) 1.7 rebs
1st half: 13 pts (3/4 3FG) 3 rebs

Almost there

What's the opposite of Guard U?

Can Iowa get shirts that say, "Guard Free" ?

I don't know I missed that era.

 

[Stanzi]

I got a little upset in the first half. I apologize for that. I will try and calm down by rubbing my earlobes and saying "woo-sah".
