***Championship Week Thread***

[HawkBall23]

If PSU wins tonight, I only have one wish for Iowa tomorrow night........ GET BACK, on transition D.

I know Iowa's D has gotten world's better since the start of February, but the Lions are going to want to utilize their speed advantage and go, go, go!

Penn St has 10 fouls. Wisconsin 4.

Sure, refs. Sure.

Penn St has 10 fouls. Wisconsin 4.

Sure, refs. Sure.

And it's not like Penn State has just been shooting jump shots.

Was thinking the exact same thing

 

[QChawks]

Bucky 12/0 run

 

[birthhawk]

Oh, I see Wisconsin is playing. I'll wait for the obligatory dirty play by Davison.

Don't blink!

The opening tip was a half hour ago. Every bit he's on the floor, a dirty play is just a heartbeat away.

 

[BBHawk]

Wahl appears to be Davison 2 as far as flopping goes.

 

[HawkBall23]

How does Wisconsin get 33 seconds to shoot, but PSU only 30??

Guess the refs figure the slow deliberate pace of play earns them a few extra courtesy seconds of shot clock?

 

[HawkBall23]

Every single offensive possession of every game, you hear someone on the opposing bench yell "TRAVEL!!".

Was funny the first 5000 times, but gotten really stale now.

 

[Hawkize31]

I realized something crazy today - because of the double bye and playing last, 9 teams will be eliminated from the BTT before Iowa takes the floor.

 

[24 so far]

Can’t decide who I want between PSU and Wisc honestly.

Iowa ladies are on FS2 now btw

Not big on Women's basketball, can only watch about two minutes before I want to gouge my eyes out, but hoping the Hawks do well.

On a side note (and the reason I DVR just about everything), seems I have to be watching a minimum of 4 sporting events on different channels, in order to find just 1 of the 4 that actually has people playing Sports instead of these never ending F'ing commercials! !:&€=÷%'_€/#!"

Sorry, rant over.

 

[HawkBall23]

Shoot your load now, b*es.

You got a date with an ass-kicking waiting tomorrow night.

It's always the same damn car insurance commercials, too. With the amount of money they're throwing at ads, you know that's gotta be one of the best rackets out there.

Gard, “we got a little more physical on defense”. And still they only committed 4 fouls.

Same. I've tried, year after year in the recent past, to get into the women's hoops, especially during tourney time but I can't.

I am happy for their successes and Iowa sports in general, though.

Did PSU shoot any FTs in that half? Honestly can't remember - despite driving the ball a lot. (they probably shot a few, I just hate Wisconsin and want to rag on them)

If I remember right, the Hawks were 0-0 from the FT line in the first half @ Wisky too.

F*ing refs! lol

I always say that for TV and Radio in regards to Jewelers. That $2k ring you want me to buy for The Female, quit advertising so much and I'll give you $300 and we'll both be happy!

 

[SDHawkDoc]

psu started well, but peed down their legs to end the half. Looking like a third matchup with the a$$holes from madison.

Watching them now....they are fun to watch. Fast paced and can fill it up from deep.

The men could take some lessons on FT shooting from them

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

7/9 from deep for Gabbie Marshall

The men don't like FTs, because their freebies. Want to earn everything they get.

 

[HawkBall23]

When Ferry said that fouls were a problem, he wasn't talking about his team purposefully committing too many of them or the majority of those foul calls being legit, Pizzo.

Yup. A really close friend of mine got divorced eons ago and the company he had bought her wedding ring from went under. When he tried to sell it to other Jewelers and eventually pawn shops, he got about $300 for a $4000 ring. The markups are absurd. Ive never looked into it, but I wonder how that industry regulated. It doesn't really seem like it is.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Hawkeye Women up 11 at the start of the 4th quarter.

 

[QChawks]

Looks like it’s a Bucky vs Herky battle

 

[HawkBall23]

F* Brad Davison and F* Wisconsin.

Hope the Hawks are salivating about facing them again in ~23 hours.

 

[longliveCS40]

PSU looks like dog shit

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Refs are bad in women's basketball too... Just FYI

Shockingly not shocked

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I'd T up these Rutgers women.... Just constantly crying and throwing their arms up yelling at the refs.

Bo Boroski would be a major upgrade as a women’s official.

 

[MepoDawg#]

They’re worse.

 

[HawkBall23]

Opposing players need to learn how to fall like Davison. Instead of accidentally just falling on him, 'accidentally' fall on him with a sharp elbow jabbing at a painful place on him.

That guy on Rutgers team has been throwing a hissy fit everytime he got called for a foul

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

I've been watching all season and the women's refs are worse. It's been a football game all night. Martin has been assaulted on several occasions

 

[Hawksfor3]

Aw shyt. I don't wanna play these cheese curds again.

 

[Eternal Return]

Penn State looks tiny and slow. That's not a good combo on a basketball court.
