****Indiana vs Iowa Game Thread****

[QChawks]

8pm FS1
For some reason hawks favored by 1

I have no idea what to expect tonight 🫤 but I did predict the hawks would win this game a few weeks ago so I’ll stick with that. Somehow they pull out a 73-70 classic.

 

[Greenway4Prez]

Vegas knows.

Iowa wins.

 

[drh1150]

When Filip sits who replaces him?
Does Kris play the 5?
Does Connor start?
Will TJD foul out our front line?

This doesn't look good on paper but that's why they play the games.

 

[83Hawk]

Hawks cannot afford to drop this game, especially at home. I think they will shoot well tonight and pull this out.

 

[DewHawk]

Given recent events by Iowa I think we will be disappointed again. The Iowa way. JMO

Hawks will do what they will do,.. world won't come to an end either way.

 

[QChawks]

predict TJD's line tonight

Kris put the team on his back and carried them to victory in Carver VS Hoosiers a year ago. He might need to do it again

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

 

[Fran-Con-2]

Vegas knows.

Iowa wins.

Iowa was like a 4 point favorite against Nebraska and got absolutely housed.

I just put money on Indiana. My gut tells me there's a possibility Iowa comes out hot for Patrick, like they did against ISU when everyone wrote them off. But always smart to hedge your fandom with your sports betting.

I won’t be disappointed if Iowa loses. Or poor.

This doesn't look good on paper but that's why they play the games.

With Ogundele & PMac out, we are down to 9 scholarship players.

If Dix can't go, we are down to 8.

Will Fran be forced to use Mulvey? I would imagine Fran will use at least one of the walk on guards (Kingsbury).

Ughhh....


My guess on the starters:

Ulis
Perkins
Kris
Connor
Filip

Leaving these 4 Scholarship Players Off the bench:

Payton (0 for 19 in B1G play)
Dasonte
Dix (if he can go)
Mulvey

 

[TampaHawkfan]

Iowa sports often seem to do the opposite of what I expect, lol. They win a game, and look good doing it, just when I'm down on them. Or they'll dump a game they shouldn't when I'm riding high.

So... That means Iowa rallies around Pmac's absence and steals one from Indiana. That's my line of thinking!

 

[SicIturAdAstra]

Indiana hasn't played in two weeks. Their starting point guard and 2nd leading scorer is out. Hood-Schifino and TJD have both missed games recently due to back/hip issues (which always linger), and it's still a conference road game at 8:00 PM. And, Indiana hasn't looked great on the road recently. I could see Iowa playing inspired (Izzy calls it the "injury bump"; you never want to play a team right when key player goes down), hit some threes early (a la Iowa State), and maintain lead throughout. IU is inconsistent on offense at best, especially recently. I would press if I were Iowa as well. IU always looks shaky at best against it.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Let's get a W for PMac tonight! GO Hawks!

 

[NevadaHawk]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

I demand Perkins and Sandfort get their crap together and play up to their capabilities.

 

[TDJ7]

I threw 20 on the Indiana ML. That means Hawks by 20. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand Perkins and Sandfort get their crap together and play up to their capabilities.

Payton has not made a shot in B1G play (he's 0 for 19). Not sure that has ever happened to an Iowa player, let alone any B1G player.

Hoping for a big game from him tonight. He's a great kid and deserves it. And Iowa needs him & his outside shooting.

GO HAWKS!!!

 

[BlIIlken2]

Hawks cannot afford to drop this game, especially at home. I think they will shoot well tonight and pull this out.

Can’t afford to drop? What does that even mean? The year is already toast. Unless you’re referring to NIT resume? Then yes I agree.

 

[Legend12]

Payton (0 for 19 in B1G play)

That is one of the craziest stats I have ever seen associated with Iowa basketball. He's missing everything....3's...layups...and they are rarely even close right now.

 

[texas twister]

Patrick was shooting piss poor also. Hopefully Fran is smart enough to run only plays for the only 2 that can shoot - Kris and Filip.

Bobby Hansen played in the first game 40 years ago. On the radio show just now, he said "you get this place full, its a rowdy, raucous environment."

Good. Now, never wear the white again and we'll be getting somewhere.

 

[Franisdaman]

This should be fun.

Tonight's officials:

Larry Scirotto, Courtney Green, and Paul Szelc.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Little Larry. We're about to get worked

 

[Franisdaman]

On the pregame radio show, Fran indicated that he will play all 9 scholarship players

He says Payton will play a lot, along with, Dasonte, Dix and Riley Mulvey

 

[Franisdaman]

Fran mentions CHA is probably headed for one more renovation.

When? He didn't say.

 

[drh1150]

Cmon Tony.
Bring it against your home state.

 

[Franisdaman]

10 threes???

Bobby Hansens's keys to the game:

* EVERYONE needs to be locked into the scouting report & READY TO GO WHEN YOUR NUMBER IS CALLED

* Race Thompson & Trayce Jackson Davis -- need to contain them

* Iowa needs to stay out of foul trouble

* Need huge game from Kris Murray (but he will be a marked man)

* Iowa needs 10 threes to win

 

[HawkBall23]

Little Larry. We're about to get worked

Little Larry AND Courtney Green and Paul Szelc.

Hawks & Fran and so effed.

[HawkBall23]

Even though I am fully expecting to bail early on a game again tonight, I do take some slight pleasure in that before this game tips, Iowa and Illinois have the same B1G record. 0-3.


Doesn't mean I am happy that the Hawks are anything less than 3-0 right now, but I just really can't stand the Illini bball program and love that they are being forced to share basement space.

Purdue v tOSU a helluva game

 

[HawkRugged17]

Purdue ball down one with 17.5 left. Purdue 3! 10.5 left!

Ohio State timeout with 6.4 left.

 

[KcTo]

Purdue v tOSU a helluva game

Both Purdue and tOSU coaches calling time out as soon as they had the ball in the last 17 seconds to set up their go to play to their go to player.

examples of good end game coaching
