The Official Old Chief Wooden Heads vs the Fighting Fran's Game Thread

Saw that shot from moss coming from a mile away. He was just standing there calling for the ball. I though Conner made eye contact with him but looked away. Turns out he was just burning a little more clock.

Geesh, Gus Johnson looks weird

Illinois shooting 28.6%, Iowa shooting 68.4% at half.

Weiskamp and Garza are the mental toughness this team has been missing.

 

[InGoodCo]

Great half of ball, but remember last year and don’t get too excited.

 

[DDThompson]

Every shot IL takes contested and difficult.

Very good half by Iowa. A few too many turnovers but that's gonna happen against that aggressive of defense when they are gonna let it be physical.

As long as its consistent that's fine.

Yeah, Illinois started brawling -- especially on Garza, and refs swallowed their whistles.

Illinois shooting 28.6%, Iowa shooting 68.4% at half.

In spite of that, Illinois has been very lucky on a few shots. We need to keep up the intensity, and not lose focus.

Connor, too. He doesn't panic when ballhandling.

 

[DDThompson]

Who's smoother, Moss or Joe?

Joe. Not even close.

I absolutely Hate the style of BB being played by Ill annoy. Yeah, the officials have called a lot of fouls on them, but they could have called at least a 1/2 dozen more. The good news is that Iowa is a lot bigger and stronger and more physical, so we have prevailed so far. Hopefully, IL will be in so much foul trouble in the second half that they will fade out of the picture.

very rough play, we might shoot 40 FT's today

I think it's close. Pleasurable debate though...

It is a different team......they will get the W.

 

[InGoodCo]

Whatever dude. We're literally gonna go from a shitty & soft 14 win season to a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney. Take it to the bank.

That’ll never happen, last year is all this team can be

I can’t type sarcasm
