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

[longliveCS40]

Connor's shot is way off today.

 

[KcTo]

Big 3 by Dix!

As good as any IOWA player in Conference play
Fran continues to limit Dix Minutes

 

[Buffalo43]

Then fouls BAU

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Refs doing their part to keep Illini in it

 

[like-woahh]

Both teams are playing pretty damn well right now :/

 

[kwik44]

PMac just isn't back to game speed.

Sometimes I wonder if he ever has a game speed. Just seems to operate a split second behind everyone else.

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Pace favors Iowa right now

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

say what you want about Fran, but this is a fun brand of basketball

Much better then the football team offense that’s for sure.

 

[longliveCS40]

Sometimes I wonder if he ever has a game speed. Just seems to operate a split second behind everyone else.

Yeah. Even prime PMac is not very fleet of foot. That's why he really struggles on D.

 

[Buffalo43]

Kris needs some tou touches

 

[Franisdaman]

Love me some Dix.

but what about Josh?

 

[jonesy5960]

C'mon CMac.

Cmac has had a rough half so far.

 

[Moral]

but what about Josh?

I'm a Josh so I respect all Joshs.

 

[iowaathletes]

Box out and get the rebounds. Too much orange under the basket.

Definitely has more of a "glide" style of play.
Not the fast twitch and power to his movement.

With his height... That fast break pass ahead. Needed to gather, one dribble, and go up.

Instead just flipped up a circus shot

 

[longliveCS40]

Josh O...is that you posting from the bench?

 

[Franisdaman]

@Moral line 1 please, Moral line 1

 

[HawkRugged17]

Bowen in ...

 

[kwik44]

Does this Mayer always shoot lights out?

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Illinois refusing to not make shots. BAU

 

[iowaathletes]

Illinois mugging continues. F u refs.

 

[Franisdaman]

guard the stache/head band dude

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Lazy basketball by Iowa, blowing another lead. BAU

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Gonna have to give Mayer a stinger to offset the one to Sandy.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

It's amazing how Physical Illinois can play and not foul.... Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable

 

[HawkRose]

Just awful offensive possessions last 5 trips

 

[longliveCS40]

Dasonte sighting!

 

[Franisdaman]

Dasonte Bowen sighting

 

[kwik44]

Definitely has more of a "glide" style of play.

Yep. He panics when the plan doesn't work.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Draw some fouls now

 

[HawkRugged17]

Does this Mayer always shoot lights out?

He was on Baylor's National Title team 2 years ago. Averaged 8 points/game.

 

[CarterHall]

Porn stache to the bench.

 

[Franisdaman]

Dix is so cool and collective

 

[iowaathletes]

Fran what is this lineup?

 

[Chishawk1425]

Draw some fouls now

2 in 15 seconds. Keep attacking

 

[bdcolt45er]

Iowa going to have a tough time finishing this if we can't get some layups and some free throws.

 

[HawkRugged17]

2 fouls on Dainja ... and 2 on Mayer.

 

[Franisdaman]

nice full court pressure

nice steal by Kris

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

A steal with our press. Feels like the 1st one this year

 

[drew_hawk]

That Matthew Mayer kid is very intimidating. Eye of the tiger.
