*****Illinois vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[EZ2BJZ]

I don’t like all the foul calls, but at least the refs are consistent.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Meyer in. Get him fouled out. Tired of watching him flop

 

[Franisdaman]

Nice job Fil

22-24 from the line

92%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HawkRugged17]

When does Fran bring Kris back in?

 

[Chishawk1425]

****ing rebound!!!! Just infuriating

 

[HawkBall23]

Easy to rebound when they allow you to body your opponent out of your way.

 

[longliveCS40]

Hawkins completely over the back on that rebound!

 

[coorsoriginal02]

Hawkins rebounding over the young Hawkeye children

 

[iowaathletes]

Get the rebound!

 

[Chishawk1425]

When does Fran bring Kris back in?

After this timeout.

 

[CarterHall]

When does Fran bring Kris back in?

vs. Purdue.

 

[HawkRose]

Sandfort pushed pretty blatantly on that board

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

42 in the lane for 6 seconds again before the shooting foul. Just saying

 

[BVHawkeye]

We stick with Fran because he’s better than the last dogshit hire. But he is not a good coach. 13 years, less than half the time we makes it to the NCAA tournament, 0 Sweet 16s. The very definition of mediocre.

Don’t you have to give him a break with what Lick left him? How many tournaments in the last 10 years would be more fair.

 

[longliveCS40]

When does Fran bring Kris back in?

Gotta get him in now.

 

[wilson reborn]

Hawks getting killed on boards. Get Murray in.

 

[NevadaHawk]

REBOUND!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Iowa 72 - Illinois 70 with 3:51 left. Dainja to the FT line after the break.

 

[Slim45]

Hawkins completely over the back on that rebound!

Which 1? He’s doing it so often it’s hard to keep track

 

[EZ2BJZ]

Sandfort pushed pretty blatantly on that board

I agree. That should have been going the other way.

 

[Franisdaman]

When does Fran bring Kris back in?

now

just 3:52 to go

 

[HawkRose]

We really do need another big for these type of games

 

[Chishawk1425]

Miss these Danja to get back to your avg

 

[kzoohawk80]

Time to bring Kris back in. I'd take out Connor but we know that ain't happening.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Gotta get him in now.

Keeping him out any longer is worse than playing him and having him foul out

 

[FatBrian4Prez]

It’s really nice of the Iowa coaching staff to allow a mentally disabled kid to wear a jersey and sit on the bench.

Oops, my bad #44 is a player……carry on.

 

[BVHawkeye]

Rebounding is effort as much as positioning. We are lacking in both. Watch our players looking at the shot instead of looking for a body to screen out!

 

[Chishawk1425]

The sun rises in the east, it's cold in the winter and you bet Iowa and the over on total points.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

Maybe block him out before he gets to the rim

 

[iowaathletes]

Most crucial part of the game guys. Bring it home.

Still over half the time considering the covid yr

Size and athletic ability help too. We are getting into some jumping contests against their goon and losing

 

[uihawk82]

Hawks got to rebound better this last 4 minutes

 

[iowaathletes]

I hope the crowd gets loud!!!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Kris is back in. Replaces Ulis.

 

[HawkBall23]

F off Dainja!

CLEAR foul there

 

[Franisdaman]

Offensive Rebs
12: Illini
7: Iowa

2nd chance Pts
16: Illini
8: Iowa

 

[uihawk82]

Is the attendance down for men's bball? Looks like a lot of empty seats the last few games

 

[Chishawk1425]

Perkins may foul out half of the Cryin Illinis roster

It's also strategy, length, athleticism.
