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

Down when 1 at half when the shot selection from Iowa was awful is something I'll take. Ulis, Perkins, McCaffrey need to take better shots in the 2nd half. Iowa's done a horrible job trying to get it to Rebraca on the block. A post presence could have a field day with how Illinois is playing defense.
 
Can't underestimate how huge that Kris 3 at the buzzer was. Just mega huge.

If they are going to sag off Rebraca and clog the lane I wonder if we could rotate and get some open 3s. I think Rebraca takes the space then kicks.

Way too many shots just inside the 3 point line.
 
this game feels like an L given Iowa's hectic play

I feel similar. Feels like we are hanging around but it's been tough for us to score and easy for Illinois.

We have to get better on the glass. We are getting smoked there.

Have to help man to man because we can't defend 1v1.

Hope to stay hot.

Come on Hawks!
 
What I don’t get is playing Dix and Bowen together. Two freshmen guards playing against a team that is overplaying and physical on the ball.
Yeah. I didn't understand putting Bowen in. It's not like Perkins or Ulis has 2 fouls. It was unnecessary.
