****Hawks @ Hoosiers Game Thread****

[denmar81]

Fran needs to get his butt off the bench and coach

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Both these teams are bad

 

[skydog0784]

WTF Joe T? Wake up!

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Looks like the commentators aren’t the only ones forgetting about all of our injuries.

What makes you think I have? Injuries are a significant part of Iowa's lack of depth.

 

[Run&Blade]

Garza is a one man team

 

[HungryHawk]

Does Connor understand he can't dribble? Shoot when open.


CJ's injury is significant. Fran knew Jbo was iffy and his answer was Bakari who makes Maishe look like an all conference player. Nunge would not add anything other than being better than Pemsl and Till.

And yet everyone is complaining we don’t have anyone better than till and pemsl, not a strong point. If you think this team is even close to as deep as they would be without injuries...I don’t know what to tell you.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Only injury was Nunge. Fran knew Jbo was iffy at best. Connor has no offense. Evelyn has no offense. Toussaint has no offense. Not sure of the thought process with only having 3 players capable of making shots.

We’ve also lost Pat and now potentially Fredrick

 

[wilson reborn]

Toussaint has scored more points for Indiana on turnovers than he's produced.

Toussaint is a huge positive for Iowa going forward.

 

[denmar81]

Atleast Ash has a bit of offense in his game, get him in there.

 

[briggshawk]

The truth is that if Iowa even stays close with this lineup, we all should be incredibly impressed. We are literally playing two walk-on players more than mop up minutes. Impressive if you think about it.

 

[fkfootball]

Carver-Assembly Hall.

They would have Nunge that's it. Who else are you talking about? Jbo was not a surprise.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Of course that crap goes in

 

[BubsFinn]

Jeez, how do we give us so many easy shots in the lane so late in the shot clock. Every damn time.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Well, we were down 12 against Wisconsin with 4 minutes to go.....

 

[HungryHawk]

What makes you think I have? Injuries are a significant part of Iowa's lack of depth.

Maybe a bit presumptive on my part but a lot are looking at Fran as if he could have prevented this depth issue somehow.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Of course that goes in...

 

[Chishawk1425]

Illegal screen and they make a BS shot with shot clock at 0

 

[ICWestfan]

Toussaint is a huge positive for Iowa going forward.

So why isn't he in the game?

 

[WestIAHawk]

Of course that goes in...

IU very lucky tonight.

 

[ICWestfan]

Im tired of seeing Evelyn in the game. WTF?

 

[brownd7949hawks]

They’ve been getting stops just can’t get over the hump

 

[skydog0784]

That was a good defensive sequence for IA, IN lucky that went in.

 

[Franisdaman]

Weezy missing 3 FTs sure hurts when you are down 10 and could be down just 8 or 7

 

[BBHawk]

They would have Nunge that's it. Who else are you talking about? Jbo was not a surprise.

Nunge. JBo. CJ. Patrick. All injured.

Doesn't make it better that we expected JBo to stop.

 

[brownd7949hawks]

Im tired of seeing Evelyn in the game. WTF?

Who would you rather see?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

IU very lucky tonight.

BAU....

 

[Ihawkhoops]

We’ve also lost Pat and now potentially Fredrick

PMac was not going to have any impact. Would he be better than Pemsl and Till? Definitely, but that is not moving the needle.

 

[HungryHawk]

Only injury was Nunge. Fran knew Jbo was iffy at best. Connor has no offense. Evelyn has no offense. Toussaint has no offense. Not sure of the thought process with only having 3 players capable of making shots.

Evelyn and Joe T had never played for Iowa, should we have assumed they had “no offense” before the season even started? What about Patrick?

 

[ICWestfan]

IU very lucky tonight.

Lucky? They average 5.3 threes per game. They have 8? 9? tonight?

 

[HungryHawk]

PMac was not going to have any impact. Would he be better than Pemsl and Till? Definitely, but that is not moving the needle.

Can’t argue with that many assumptions.

 

[CP84]

So why isn't he in the game?

That's the positive.

 

[unoHawkeye]

PMac was not going to have any impact. Would he be better than Pemsl and Till? Definitely, but that is not moving the needle.

I never saw Pat in practice so can’t say for sure... have you? He wasn’t planning on redshirting so Fran at least felt he was going to be a contributor

 

[WestIAHawk]

Lucky? They average 5.3 threes per game. They have 8? 9? tonight?

Other s hits been falling in as well.

 

[BBHawk]

PMac was not going to have any impact. Would he be better than Pemsl and Till? Definitely, but that is not moving the needle.

You can't be serious.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Well, here's the thing. You know what you get with Jordan. He was a significant loss. But both Patrick and Nunge were question marks coming in to this season. Patrick is a true freshman who is severely underweight. Nunge did not look good to start the season, so both were unknowns in my book even if they had stayed healthy.

It is what it is. It's hard to win in the B1G Ten on the road regardless.

 

[O-townHawkstar]

Once again Garza doing more then his part. What a Beast. Prayers for CJF hoping nothing serious for him.

 

[BubsFinn]

Of course they screw us on the reversal. That's Iowa ball.


maybe no....

 

[Chishawk1425]

Oh can't rebound, the sun rises in the East.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Nunge. JBo. CJ. All injured.

Doesn't make it better that we expected JBo to stop.

CJ happened tonight. Fran knew Jbo was questionable and got possibly the worst offensive grad transfer in the portal in Evelyn. Nunge would be a help relative to current options. Doesn't gloss over that Connor couldn't score on me and Kriener has Moss Syndrome of showing up once per month.
