****Iowa (7-0) @ PU (7-0) Game Thread****

[Tfxchawk]

Purdue went 16 of 21 from the free throw line. Truly a criminal stat.

 

[RocknRollface]

He's playing great tonight but Joe T has been playing really well. Play Perkins in place of JBo to start the second half.

Agree, Joe is playing very well too.

Jbo just can't get an open look against a defense like this.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Yeah,

Overall pretty pleased.

Much more pleased with that half than 2nd at Virginia.

If Hawks just make their bunnies and open 3s they might be ahead.

They'll make those most nights.

If Perkins finishes this game with fewer than 12 shots, it will be an absolute travesty. Ride the hot hand Fran

 

[BVHawkeye]

Conner was the best getting the ball to Luka. Much more valuable last year for that reason.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

He has a shooter’s mentality. He’s just lacking the “shooter” part to go with it.

No lift from hip surgery...

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

I hope MacC rips CMac a new one for jacking up those 3s. That is the last thing this team needs.

Not able to detect the value Connor provides to this team. I'm 62 years old and with a couple of weeks to warm up I think I could beat Connor in HORSE, well take out the dunks and bring on an audience. He might be the worst shooter playing guard in Iowa history.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Watched the first half. Might skip the second.

Whenever people think about dishonest officiating, think tonight. Purdue is mugging on defense, like they've been doing for since Gene Keady arrived. There have been multiple obvious fouls not called. On the other hand Iowa is called for touch fouls. Love to read the rule that makes it a foul to be elbowed in the head or neck area because you are applying close ball pressure. If that is a real rule then we've got consistency problems with the whole purpose of having those head and neck rules at all.

Where does Purdue get this hideously ugly big men, every year. These Purdue big men, like Eiddy (sp?). Horror movie characters. They're ****ing grotesque.

I think I'd like to piss on Larry Scriotto.​

Trying to think of that piss ants name. As soon as I saw him shook my head because he’s awful. Step below Hightower and tv teddy

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

CMac has only shot 2 2 pointers all year. He's a 3 point specialist.

He knows how to get open for 3 🤣

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

How many years now has Connor been trying to shoot through this shooting slump he’s been in. He’s gotta break through it soon!

 

[jonesy5960]

Doesn't matter at this point. He just shouldn't be shooting 3s. I wish he would drive, anything but jack up 3s.

That's kind of the problem. He has no offensive game whatsoever. He has no dribble drive. He knows that. Everyone knows that including the opposition. He's stuck in no man's land without a guy to throw it to. All that's left is to chuck up a wide open 3.

 

[BBHawk]

We get the bad Ulis and Fran's oldest son is a waste of time....So Iowa!

Ulis has been okay for his first extended minutes this year. Joe T got in foul trouble early. I don't blame Ahron.

 

[RocknRollface]

Iowa defends like that the rest of the year, they’ll be just fine

Totally agree.

If they had green spartan jerseys on half those fouls dont get called.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Conners blistering the nets at 14.1% from 3 this year. 22% from the field

And that's unguarded

 

[mstp1992]

That's kind of the problem. He has no offensive game whatsoever. He has no dribble drive. He knows that. Everyone knows that including the opposition. He's stuck in no man's land without a guy to throw it to. All that's left is to chuck up a wide open 3.

Which should be like an extended free throw.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

CMac can't hit the side of a barn.

Connor couldn't hit a barn if it collapsed on him....

 

[TRHawkeye145]

I'm really encouraged with the defense

 

[BBHawk]

That's kind of the problem. He has no offensive game whatsoever. He has no dribble drive. He knows that. Everyone knows that including the opposition. He's stuck in no man's land without a guy to throw it to. All that's left is to chuck up a wide open 3.

He has more than that, but definitely not a 3 pt shot.

 

[KcTo]

Ulis played great defense on Ivey and created a ton of open looks for himself. Needs to finish some plays. He fit in, imo

I like his overall play, aggressive D, doesnt force bad passes, under control mentality

 

[jonesy5960]

Ulis has been okay for his first extended minutes this year. Joe T got in foul trouble early. I don't blame Ahron.

Ulis has played ok. I don't blame Joe either. Ticky tack crap.

 

[Tfxchawk]

That is the whitest crowd maybe ever?

 

[unoHawkeye]

I love that Fran is throwing in guys who are freshmen and sophomores and they are just going out, playing hard, and not afraid to make mistakes. Looking forward when Ulis, Perkins, Sandfort, and Mulvey are upperclassmen, that team is going to be a ton of fun

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Not able to detect the value Connor provides to this team. I'm 62 years old and with a couple of weeks to warm up I think I could beat Connor in HORSE, well take out the dunks and bring on an audience. He might be the worst shooter playing guard in Iowa history.

He's probably an excellent practice shooter.....

 

[Hawksfor3]

I'm 62 years old

Wait til you hit 70. I get gassed playing checkers.

So if a defender is in my halo, I have the right to swing my elbows wildly to clock as hard as I can because he’s in my Halo. Got it

 

[HawkLogic]

Conner was the best getting the ball to Luka. Much more valuable last year for that reason.

NO, Keegan should have started last year at th "4" and Kris should have gotten backup minutes.
CMAC made difficult entry passes because not one had to guard him at 3pt line so they were playing hte pass. ,

CMAC's man
was doubling Garza.

 

[RocknRollface]

Ulis played great defense on Ivey and created a ton of open looks for himself. Needs to finish some plays. He fit in, imo

Hes struggling to finish but doing everything else well.

 

[KcTo]

Agree, Joe is playing very well too.

Jbo just can't get an open look against a defense like this.

There have been some of us that have been asking for perk to start with JoeT

 

[HawkRugged17]

Nice drive by PMac on the big man for 2.

 

[Franisdaman]

If Perkins finishes this game with fewer than 12 shots, it will be an absolute travesty. Ride the hot hand Fran

he's 4-6 so far

 

[ObeseMuffins]

Fran technical's in the second half; 1.5 over/under.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

This is another example of why refs should have to face public criticism for blatant favoritism toward one team. It’s obvious they’ve been told to make sure Purdue gets all the close calls,

Either that or these refs have been bribed. It’s just too obvious to be coincidental.

Frankly, if Iowa is going to be called for ticky tack fouls then make Purdue pay for it.

This is not an outlier in Big Ten officiating. I opine Scriotto is both a hitman and a gambler. He is probably the most dishonest official in all of college basketball. The officiating is indefensible. A lot of the short range shots were missed due to uncalled fouls.

 

[jonesy5960]

He has more than that, but definitely not a 3 pt shot.

Enlighten me? I think he's been pretty good defensively and on the boards tonight but he can't do anything with the ball that I can recall.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Kris Murray with an aggressive take for 2.

 

[Franisdaman]

Lead is 9

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nicely done Kris!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Go Hawks!

 

[HawkRugged17]

JBo to the hoop for 2. 6-0 start for Iowa in the second stanza.

 

[nbanflfactory]

Pmac???

Joet!!!!!

 

[unoHawkeye]

he's 4-6 so far

Keep shooting

 

[nbanflfactory]

Lol jbo
