Washington St. game thread

What an entertaining college game! Something like 14 lead changes and 9 ties, back and forth, neither team can hit a 3, then with 4 min remaining 4 consecutive treys by both teams. One player on each team just unstoppable. And then the Hawks hit at 8 straight FTs to seal the game after struggling all night at the line. The PG position for Iowa tonight was so interesting. In the first half, Harding was excellent: hit a 3, moved the ball, and was crafty in the lane, both scoring and assisting. Thelwell came into the game and immediately had a TO and passed way too early on a 3-on-2 fast break which led to Sandfort picking up his 2nd foul. Then in the 2nd half Thelwell ends up being the savior by nailing back-to-back treys with the game in the balance. I liked the defensive effort by Iowa's 2nd team...not super skilled offensively, but they gave effort on the defensive end. Have never seen Dix look like he did tonight -- I assume he's either sick or injured. To get a win at a 'neutral site' vs a P5 team with Dix and Sandfort struggling -- huge!
 
Harding's issue is too much dribbling and everyone on the team watching him. He dribbles into trouble and compounds it by stopping his dribble. Iowa has lineups that look lost on offense, which doesn't help him.
