Really sloppy all around, tough to get a feel for how we are going to be. If we play like that we'll probably win 10 games.
Hawks bad, soft serve good
- Thread starter gohawks7470
- Start date
Second half looked much better, it was just an exhibition game. Have a feeling they will look much better next game. Jok, mg and Bair looked the best. As far as Woody, more of the same sadly. Guy is just plain terrible at finishing around the hoop, against way smaller guys nonetheless.
Yea Woody looked terrible. He should be able to completely dominate a team like that, makes no sense whatever.
Afraid we are not going to see a les jepsen, brad lohaus type of senior year out of him.
10 games is what I told the wife. We looked bad out there tonight. Really miss white.
Played 14(went back and counted) guys in what 12 or14 different lineups. played man to man pretty much all night or all night from what i saw.
they were basically scrimmaging.
can't take anything away from these games, good Lord.

Agree, was kinda careless with the ball some but his shooting stroke was much better tonight. Looks like his elbow injury has totally healed.
I think the Hawks will be a solid team. This was a scrimmage in November, hardly a finished product. Relax
Yep, they're gonna be fine. Nobody thought the fb team was gonna be any good after the spring scrimmage either. It's gonna be a good bb season too bank it.
It's an exhibition folks... There's a general rule that you don't take away too much good or bad from these things.
This can't be serious.

At least the soft-serve is in mid-season form. This is excellent news.
Actually it was a scrimmage in October! Early basketball is always sloppy. The upperclassmen are fine. The youngsters will emerge. Might see more wrath this year from Fran. Again these guys are too quiet.
Iowa state fans running over here after our first exhibition game. Gonna be long season on these boards.
I will take the over on this.
Because I said they should have won by more I am automatically an Iowa State fan? It doesn't mean they won't get better but that was a bad performance I don't think anyone thinks otherwise.
As I mentioned in another thread, I went to a Kansas exhibition against a D2 school a few years ago. At one point late in the second half, KU was only up like 5 and ended up winning by 10. And they didn't play their bench much at all. And just a couple years ago, Syracuse lost an exhibition to a D2 school. These things happen. 10 wins? Wtf?
Yes OP, it is time to write off the entire season based on exhibition games.
It is possible this group might struggle some depending on how the depth after the top 6 returning players develop. I am looking forward to seeing how this team takes shape over the season.

It wasn't that long ago that many predicted doom for the football team because the offense couldn't score after a couple inter squad scrimmages. Last I checked we are 7-0. Give it some time...it's their first scrimmage!
anyone (other than Fran) who has an assessment of a team from an exhibition game played in October...clearly has an agenda other than what it is...
which is a team with a lot newbies in the 2nd group..had this been a game of importance...the 1st group would have played more minutes and you would of had a much larger point difference.
..Uthoff gave the SF team credit for playing hard...Fran got what he wanted...video and more practice...the 2nd group (whoever they are) will improve ... bank on it.
Iowa played how many guys? come on...you really think calling an exhibition game played in October a bad performance??? really....

And you're serious? Really? After your first fight did you tell your wife you'd give it 5 years before the divorce?
But not nearly as bad a performance as the Cyclones gave to coach Hoyburger in his last game he coached for the school.
Exhibition or not, i think it showed that interior defense could be a concern. Teams with decent bigs could be problematic. Of the new guys, I thought Fleming looked pretty good and could see him fitting in to the rotation. Fran's has his work cut out for him, trying to see who fits where.
Were 14 point favorites and every national media guy said they were going to Final Four too.
I don't disagree with the bolder part, but remember we didn't play any zone last night, so it won't always look like that
Hard to tell anything much from last night, other than Woody is still Woody.
We really need about 2 Tyler Cook's right now!

You'd be surprised how many people think otherwise...and are not wrong in doing so. Cool story, huh.
But yeah, this is a below-.500 team. I can tell by watching an exhibition game..........And yes, we don't have to voice our concerns about this team ending up a below-.500 team because of how bad they looked in an exhibition game, but if we don't voice our concerns now..........it may end up being too late.
Because I give a f***, David.......I give a f***.
Yep.
