*****Auburn vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[drew_hawk]

Somehow we're only down 5 points.

Rebraca, Bowen, and PMac (to a lesser degree) are the only real contributors.

Everyone else is playing so scared. Connor especially - he's actually regressed this last 1/4 of a season and is especially sucking tonight. Same with Perkins and Sandfort.

It's an NCAA tournament game under Fran McCaffery; we always look scared.

 

[ItsAllBallBearingsNowadays]

I'm calling it now. We come out raining 3s and win by 15!

 

[Pepperman]

Bowen doesn’t get minutes all season until today. Make it make sense, Fran.

Connor 2 fouls
Perkins 2 fouls

0-5 from 3. If past is any indication, we're in trouble!

If the past is any indication, this was to be expected.

After this game Kris, Pilip, Connor and as far as I'm concerned Ahron and anyone else that hasn't used up their eligibility can fill out their portal card and take a hike. Fran puts 4 guys on the court that have zero confidence in shooting the ball unless it's a layup and Auburn knows that.
Kris, is making his 1st round pro chance vanish as quickly as Iowa's 3 point shooting.
Everyone wants Fran to get a big in the Portal, I'd say Iowa needs shooter more the big men, but Iowa get's punished by players 6-10 and taller. Fran needs a whole new team.

DRINK!

Only way I'm surviving this 2nd half. Cheers

 

[rfgiowa]

Iowa is lucky they aren't down 15.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see the Hawks shooting any better in the 2nd. We shall see...cheers.

Oh FFS.

Didn't Keegan dissappear in tourney game last year too?

 

[BrewHawk]

The tourney games come down to effort. We are not used to playing with effort, so it is foreign territory that we don't/can't adapt to.

It all comes down to defense and rebounding. We don't do either well.

If we can start hitting open shots we have a chance, otherwise we'll get run out of the gym.

Oral Roberts down big at half against Duke. Duke is going to kill Scissoring Ellens.

Dang it, can’t get it to work

[Fsanford]

I think you let Bowen start, he broke them down a bit

 

[RocknRollface]

I don’t know if I’m comforted or infuriated to know that officiating doesn’t get any better in the post season.

Ive been trying to tell people for years that the "big ten is too physical to win in the tournament" narrative is backwards.

Gifs aren’t working. The overlords in here don’t want our sarcastic gifs.

 

[briggshawk]

Is any team in the tourney shooting well?

Yes, Alabama

 

[Hawksfor3]

Fran got a T in the locker room cussing his players.

 

[HawkBall23]

Is anyone else not seeing gifs?

I don't see others' gifs, nor my own.

 

[Franisdaman]

Gatens said to Bobby Hansen that we need to take better care of the ball

He said we're gonna make some shots in the 2nd half

GO HAWKS!!

Yep and I'm so sick of it.

How much longer do we have to do this?

 

[Bulldogs1974]

I think you let Bowen start, he broke them down a bit

He wasn’t worthy to play in the big ten but he is now. Weird.

 

[drew_hawk]

Oh FFS.

Oh FFS is right. We come out looking timid and scared every time.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

We tied for our lowest 1st half points total...

Great time for that. UGLY UGLY UGLY

fran might start slow but once he has a couple rounds under his belt the team will hum like a finely tuned lambo in sweet 16 and beyond. just gotta make it there.

Oral Roberts down big at half against Duke. Duke is going to kill Scissoring Ellens.

Furman beat Virginia and Princeton beat Arizona so there has been some fun in this tournament.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Arkansas beats Illinois

 

[Pepperman]

Is that weatherman Ed Wilson sitting behind TNT crew?

 

[HawkBall23]

OFC they hit one right out of halftime.

 

[bdcolt45er]

These defensive highlights are videos of guys fouling and not being called for it.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Head and ball fakes will get the over aggressive Auburn D in foul trouble.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Great start!

 

[luvmyhawks]

Clankity clank.

 

[KcTo]

We are 4 -26 in the last game and a half.

[KcTo]

Clankity clank.

[HawkBall23]
