Uhhhh...Game Thread I Guess

I guess we're not going to see Toussaint for awhile.

And why the F not? Fran, get him in there, Jesus

If you complain about Iowa's defense, you have to complain about Fran sitting out Toussaint.

Puzzling indeed

Hawkeye students are angry and demanding blood

Hope so. Too bad they can’t be perched around the floor and behind the visitors’ bench.

WTF, Barta?

 

[chucktownhawk]

About the biggest lost art or skill in the game is following your shot. JW not following his 3 led to that fast break, not picking solely on him as almost all players are bad at following, but come on guys if you do it and the opponent doesnt that gives you some 2nd chances.

Old school ball. Following your shot, off the glass, bounce passes, boxing out, and the almost never, ever 15' jump shot

Yes, very good bench play from pemsl and kreiner on offense, Hawks were behind 4-0 in offensive boards but ended the half ahead 6-5 which really helps. PSU lives on steals but only has 1 and hawks with only 2 turnovers

Puzzling indeed

He had 3 assists and 2 steals in like 3 or 4 minutes. Weird

He's a loser

We need those offensive rebounds desperately

Is this the game that ends the 20+ point streak?

At the pace the game is being played I could see him scoring 13+ in the 2nd half.......he has missed a lot of easy buckets

 

[thedukeofearl]

Lions are really covering Luka

We need quicker ball movement to get the ball to the other side

Where he is open

Also need to spread the floor to open things up a bit in the middle

Up 1 at half despite Garza not making anything. Lots of open looks for him too.

the ones around the basket are the killer

 

[dahlhawk]

Wiese needs to get his Mojo back, this partial press is killing us. Giving Pedo too many open shots and layups. Either press for real or get back.

Oh, no. He's warmed up, pissed as hell he missed so many. I see nothing but 7 of 10 from the field. Actually, the game winner. Boom

Grow some balls Weise, attack, and play fucking defense

Is Garza rushing and forcing his offense or a combination of him getting bumped a lot also?

I'd say both. A pump fake would help

Notice that PSU has at least a few pull up jumpers in the lane and 10-18 foot range. That is a deadly skill to have when you make a good drive but the basket is blocked.
