Hawks vs Huskers Tuesday night

[nosok23]

Does this team take it personally and find a way to put this last game behind them… Students are still on break I believe small crowd… This game could define the season one way or another. Fred has his team playing great D and they have 3 guys 6-10 and taller.

Hawks could very well pull it off. nebby is decent this year, but like all of the B1G they're not great.
Of course it won't surprise me in the least if the cornholers win.

 

[QChawks]

Hawks will win Tuesday

This is a must win for Iowa if they want a shot at the tournament. Hoiberg is getting it done though with a proven formula this year & last. They absolutely do not lose at home. They steal a few on the road, and they make the tournament. It's a lot easier when you win them all at home.

They're mentally tough.

We are not good at basketball. Magic 8 ball says “Think again” in terms of winning this ball game. Yikes.

 

[ozzie8]

Is Fran still the coach? If so, I don’t like Iowa’s chances

 

[83Hawk]

Home game, Hawks should win.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Nebraska will kill us in the paint. Arron Ulis will probably have the game of his life Tuesday night. Debbie 88-74.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Home game, Hawks should win.

Fran always drops a few at home. If they'd lock down home court they'd be a regular tournament team.

Again, I’m glad we shored up our front court in the portal!!!! Complete failure!

Home game, Hawks should win.

The best, quiet place for students to study on campus is men’s b-ball game night at Carver-Hawkeye. I’m sure that environment will be intimidating to the Huskers.

 

[DewHawk]

Hawks will win Tuesday

IMO do not think so

Haslametrics says Hawks by a few: https://haslametrics.com/preview.php?yr=&tid1=339&tid2=4611&neut=0

So does Torvik: https://barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Iowa&year=2025

I think we are a desperation circus shot away from being winless in this league. We should shoot better at home -- Iowa by 5.

Like Fran, I'll lazily and occasionally pay a slight bit of attention towards what's going on in this game with my hands in my pockets, thinking "IDGAF" the whole time.

 

[perryhawk]

If our guys don’t come out and play with the intensity they did against ISU, they will lose. If they do they should win.

But but we've got Payton

That's not what Frans thinking. Hes wondering what the Butler score is.

 

[HawkBall23]

These next two games will tell us quite a bit about we'll need to know for the rest of the season, I think.

vs NEB and vs Indiana this week.

@ USC and @ UCLA next week.


If the Hawks can go either 2-0 or 1-1 this week while playing with effort and desire, who knows how it will all turn out. But if they look as lackluster and pitiful as they did in Madison while dropping both games this week, they won't even qualify for the BTT in March let alone snagging a lower seed in the NIT.
