Hats off Hawks

[Chishawk1425]

Win or lose today you are playing at an extremely high level. Do this the rest of your games and good things will happen. Let's win out and do some damage in the BTT! Go Hawks! Just snagged 8 tickets for Illinois game. Hope we are going for 19th or 20th win in 2 weeks!

If they would've played this way in some of their other losses, they might not have been losses.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

Fire Fran lol

Very young team. They've improved during the season.

For sure, Special!

💯. Just glad they have a pulse now and have at least given themselves a chance

 

[Buffalo43]

We are just too slow on defense especially in zone defense

 

[RocknRollface]

Winnable game, going zone took Iowa out of contention.

 

[Buffalo43]

And Tony cant have live ball turnovers the last 3 minutes of the game

 

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

We are just too slow on defense especially in zone defense

And like Hummel was saying, if we blocked out better we might’ve won that game.

 

[Chishawk1425]

How many of the negative nellies here thought Iowa would be this close? Doubt any of you if your being honest.

 

[RocknRollface]

Yeah, you just can't do that against a good team.

 

[RocknRollface]

And like Hummel was saying, if we blocked out better we might’ve won that game.

That's the biggest problem with zone.

 

[Chishawk1425]

The game at NW is now a must win. If they play like they did today they will win.

Clock is ticking.....

 

[BlIIlken2]

This team is complete garbage in the final 8 minutes. Screw the mental win crap.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

That's the biggest problem with zone.

Common misconception that boxing out/rebounding is the biggest issue with the zone.

The biggest issue is how you get beat playing zone.

What an assessment.

You think 7 seats is enough room for your ego?

Lol Year 14 and we are happy with losing. OP and Mark are the face of participation trophy generation... sad.

You are missing the point of the thread.

...Lol.

 

[cubsMDdmb]

Very young team. They've improved during the season.

Fans just don’t get this. We have a very young team with a high ceiling after this year. To be playing for a spot in the tournament is a testament to Fran’s coaching. We have continued to get better throughout the year and we have a very bright future. Keep Fran here please!

Stupid post. Like 60% of posters so I guess you can be happy you’re in the majority.

It was a 75-75 game with 5:53 to go. Illinois outscored us 20-10 to finish us off at 95-85. I hope we don't do "this" the rest of our games.

And I wouldn't call getting outscored 20-10 over the last 6 minutes "playing at an extremely high level."

And I wouldn't call giving up 51 points in the 2nd half "extremely high level" defense.

Iowa shot 48% for the game, but just 35% in the 2nd half. Illinois shot 50% in the 2nd half.

Poor Iowa shooting from 3, once again, also helped do us in.

Iowa shooting, broken down (no pun intended):

............................1st ...............2nd
...........................Half..............Half......OVERALL
From 3.....3-6 (50%).......1-6 (17%)......4-12 (33%)
From 2...15-23 (65%)...11-28 (39%)...26-51 (51%)
........................................................................................
...............18-29 (62%)...12-34 (35%)..30-63 (48%)

I'm guilty of being mad and saying stupid stuff as well. But the continued ignorance and cluelesness by so many is pathetic. They win the next 3 the Dance is right there for them entering the BTT.

 

[Barnbomber]

Very young team. They've improved during the season.

Starting 2 seniors, a junior and playing another 5th year senior 20+ minutes doesn't sound like a young team. Fran could play a young team but hasn't.

His post was before the end of the game numb nuts

 

[Moral]

I'm declaring this game a moral victory.

 

[HawkLogic]

Agreed. Quality of play count.

Above two posters are dicks.

Quality of play counts---yes. Celebrating effort in a loss is a bit like a participation award. I think the Hawks put up a pretty good effort and played about as hard as they can but in the end they did lose.

You think posters are Dicks just because they have a differing view than you have. You seem to pick a part posts all the time based on only your opinion and don't eally ever say anyting about Iowa basketball or football. I wouldn't call you a Dick because of what you post---you're not a dick, but I think you are wrong most of the time and I don't think you are even a sports fan, but that is my opinion.

You're free to have your opinion. Calling someone a Dick is a reflection on you that I don't think makes you look superior.

 

[RocknRollface]

Common misconception that boxing out/rebounding is the biggest issue with the zone.

The biggest issue is how you get beat playing zone.

Well yeah, if you're not good at it.

I'd prefer to never see a zone.

Dirty loss I say
