****Gonzaga vs Iowa Game Thread****

[Hawkfan_08]

We aren't shooting well, they are shooting well and Gonzaga is better than us. I thought we would lose by 10-15, I said it in a few threads. This will be good for us in the long run.

Brings cocky fans down to earth. Is it going to get the players and Fran to buy into defense? Too
late for this game. Probably too late to correct this season.

Defense is largely about effort and attitude.

 

[Moral]

They kinda remind me of Michigan State. They make calls tough on officials because they run that line just enough and disguise it well enough to convince the officials to swallow their whistles.

They're a bit handsy on defense (though not like MSU or Wisconsin), but also ultra aggressive rotating and guarding tight, which is an intentional thing meant to show up your opponent, which is also not always their normal effort. (MSU does that a lot too).

They are certainly well-coached. Their rotations and doubling on defense. The ball movement on offense. They know what they want to do and where to go, especially against Iowa's zone.

You see the quick multiple extra, even unnecessary passes to find not the first wide open shooter, but the second and third, which ends up making Iowa's trash zone look like it's a 3 year-old chasing a leaf in the wind.

That's where good MSU teams had killed us. By making our slow, reactionary zone look silly.

Accurate. I was thinking to myself that Zaga is pretty chippy.

First post in this thread. Had to record the game to do a project.

Is everyone freaking out or is Suggs that good that the Zags can be beat if he has an off night?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

What is Bohannon doing?

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

Good start Bohanon

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Bohannon is not up to par.

 

[Chishawk1425]

****ing Bohannon. Get Joe T in.

 

[longliveCS40]

Sit Bohannon immediately!

 

[UncannyNanny]

Jalen Suggs could play in the NBA right now.

 

[Moral]

JT is much more equipped for this game.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Flat out plating stupid. Pass up an open 3 then TO...

 

[herkhatescy]

Another ****ing lazy pass by jbo.

 

[Hawksfor3]

If they cool off with the 3's, we have to watch the back-door cuts.

 

[83Hawk]

Not sure how you can just away at those atrocious calls on Iowa... haven’t seen the same go against Zags yet. Contrary to what you and the guy you replied to believe, unbalanced refereeing can significantly alter a game.

Iowa is almost never gets the calls. Why should this game be any different?

 

[iahawks10]

That’s 6 interceptions for JBo

 

[UncannyNanny]

Jalen Suggs could play in the NBA right now.

 

[Chishawk1425]

That play there sums up today Garza vs their whole team with little supporting help.

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

Damn, Luka.

 

[DTP2]

Bohannon's passes can be picked off from upper deck.

 

[HawK + i]

Three guys on Garza, not sure how we can’t find an open man right now. Frustrating.

 

[RocknRollface]

Wtf JBO , pass up an open 3 for a TO?

 

[meatloaf55]

Most games jobo is fine to run the point. But its just not working today

 

[Moral]

Weezy needs more shots today.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

My biggest fear of not getting back on D has come to pass and tight shooting,,,

 

[Chishawk1425]

Lol nice D

 

[Chishawk1425]

Yeah leave Suggs wide open. This is stupid.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Bohannon is worthless today

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Get jblow the **** outta here

 

[biggreydogs]

Nope.

Yep

 

[herkhatescy]

This game will come down to the wire.

Gonzaga's fatigue will likely set in 2nd half

Definitely not luck as GU has scored 50+ pts in a half multiple times this season.

Iowa too good of a team, 3pt shooting, and elite big man to not make this a game.

Have a feeling it will be tied or within 5 with less than 5 to go.

Book it.

These teams are Top-5 for a reason.

Multiple would be what 3?

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Matador defense...

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

F it...make it rain from three at this point

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Bohannon is worthless today

He’s not worthless...he’s been very valuable for Gonzaga

 

[briggshawk]

Iowa straight shooting like shit from 3

 

[83Hawk]

How is it the team that has been off since December 2 is playing like a well-oiled machine and the Hawks are completely gassed and out of sync?

 

[Chishawk1425]

This isn't fun to watch at all.

 

[IaHawks03]

Blowout on national tv

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

Get a timeout and get someone in that can play defense

 

[HawkamongstGophers]

The legitimate expectation should be for Gonzaga to make zero 3s the 2nd half.

LOL, want to bet on that.
