****Iowa @ Michigan game thread****

[HawkInArk]

Wow. Michigan is just flat out good. Numerous guys that can shoot from anywhere.
I like Iowa's effort but we're just not quite good enough with any combination on the floor.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Good to see the D of old has returned.

Frans defensive strategy of “hope they miss” isn’t working tonight

We defended all season, this is the 1st game where it is just horrendous D effort.

I think hawks are playing well, Michigan is just good.

 

[JesusIsKing]

Joe Wieskamp having issues losing his guy in the zone. Iowa just doesn't have the defensive principals to stop Michigan. I love they way they are battling, but defense is really hindering the final product. Ongoing problem year to year.

 

[BBHawk]

Michigan cannot miss. Of course they are ****ing wide open.

The last 2 3's MI made were well-guarded or from 25 ft.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

If Iowa would spread the floor and get some action going to the hoop it would help. Forcing passes to Garza might get Teske fouled out, but Iowa will lose by 20. How this team can't guard that baseline player after giving up what 6 dunks now is beyond me.

 

[hawks_dg]

How is it possible Iowa can't get any clean looks from 3 and MI guys can lick their finger, check the wind, wink to their girlfriend before a defender is close?

it’s called zone defense.

Most have not been well guarded, but wide open

 

[Call me rocket]

Michigan is pretty good

 

[Buffalo43]

This is on Fran needed to go to man to man a loooong time ago

 

[skydog0784]

Please tell me I didn't see Joe W get beat on the back door cut again. He also lost Wagner on the wide open 3 ball just when IA crawled within 7.

 

[yrunvs]

Hawks are playing pretty good Michigan is making all their shots and free throws.

 

[like-woahh]

Wieskamp is completely out to lunch on D

Spreading the floor won't make the defense better.

 

[Zildjian6868]

This is one of the worst defensive performances I have seen Iowa put out. Credit to Michigan, but we are leaving people wide open

 

[countit]

Terrible coaching. Zone is a joke. But stay in it I guess

 

[Rudolph]

Kenyon Murray please check in at the next dead ball.

 

[skydog0784]

The ball must go to Garza down low each and every time. Their big men are in foul trouble.

 

[Call me rocket]

Joe t speed

Luka make your ft

 

[moondog24]

Not a good matchup for us. They are very athletic.

The majority of teams remaining on our schedule will be more athletic.

 

[cleotishaywood]

Joey W. you're gonna have to learn to adjust and move your feet defending that baseline even at the next level.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

The last 2 3's MI made were well-guarded or from 25 ft.

The rest were wide open

 

[wilson reborn]

Amazing Iowa is still in this game

 

[Call me rocket]

I thought Luka double dribbled but I’ll take it

 

[yrunvs]

JW sucks

 

[HawkInArk]

I think hawks are playing well, Michigan is just good.

Agree

 

[HawkInArk]

The majority of teams remaining on our schedule will be more athletic.

How the hell do you figure that? You must be watching A LOT of basketball. LOL..........

 

[DougFHawkeye]

We are giving a top team on the road a serious test with a depleted roster. Nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[JesusIsKing]

Joe T changing the game a bit. Defense a bit better. Kriener getting pinned to low on the rebound opportunities

 

[BBHawk]

JW sucks

...and you are an idiot.

 

[HawkInArk]

We are giving a top team on the road a serious test with a depleted roster. Nothing to be ashamed of.

I mean, we're really not depleted...are we?

 

[briggshawk]

Anyone see their big push Garza in the back then get the wide open layup? Wtf refs?

 

[denmar81]

Amazing Iowa is still in this game

Play just decent defense an we’re up 10.

 

[BBHawk]

I thought this would be a loss with a full roster. That Iowa is still in it at the 8 minute mark and the best players for MI are in foul trouble is pretty effing amazing.

 

[travisam]

JW responsible for at least 15 points losing his man in the zone. Killing the hawks tonight.

 

[SansSouci]

Kenyon Murray please check in at the next dead ball.

Random. That’s the guy you pick?

 

[skydog0784]

Alright, still hanging around. Pretty impressive if you think about it.

Need to get Connor in for Bakari. MI is big, keep Kriener and Garza in for the rest of the game.

If Fran benches Joe T at this point I think I'm going to have a stroke.
