****Iowa @ Ohio St Game Thread****

[sbhawk64]

The McCaffrey family song must be "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better."

Mendlebaum--- "you think youre better than me?"

 

[ichawks]

Nice half of basketball. Impressive.

Abandoned the zone.

 

[HawkBall23]

Because of course the Hawks can't defend well unless the other team shoots poorly, Seth Davis.

F U, you dumbf*.

 

[HawkLogic]

I can’t think of one positive thing the CM contributed to in first half.

CMAC can play 10 minutes a game---he has a role to settle things when other teams are on run. He's a good decision maker. No OTHER coach in B1G would play CMAC 30 minutes a game. Even PMAC is better...at least PMAC has size at the "4".

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Good D by Iowa. Bad D by tosu + inability to handle Luka inside.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

1 - JT
2 - CJ
3 - JW
4 - KM
5 - LG

This would be our best starting 5 by far... I'm dreaming that this is what we'll actually come with in 2nd half.

 

[flaiawis]

Damn. Villanova was 2-27 from 3?

 

[markfromj]

This team and lack of FT making is going to be the death of us in tournament

This team AND...meaning, the team is going to be the death of...the team?

 

[birthhawk]

Abandoned the zone.

Got to agree with this. They are so much more focused playing man.

 

[HawkBall23]

But a well played first half, in all. I'm guessing the shaky officiating becomes brutal in the second half.

That's pretty much a guarantee. Its is BoB and Courtney Green, after all.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[HawkLogic]

Abandoned the zone.

Keegan with 2 blocks got into heads of OSU. I guess OSU had it so easy vs that zone in in Iowa City they are confused by these guys playing man defense wearing Iowa uniforms.

 

[HawkBall23]

Hawkball better not ruin this game!

wtf did I do!?

 

[BBHawk]

So much negativity about the Hawks in a thread for a game Iowa is up by 16 at the half playing on the effing road at the #4 team in the country. Amazing.

 

[drh1150]

Hope CJ has a second half. Heard his family is there.

 

[birthhawk]

wtf did I do!?

My bad! Not you!

 

[like-woahh]

If JoeT gets no minutes in the 2nd half I will freak the **** out. Please just give the dude some minutes to spell JBo

 

[mjnem418]

Iowa has got about every loose ball today. Love the hustle

 

[BBHawk]

Hope CJ has a second half. Heard his family is there.

Has he even taken a shot yet? He has been locked in defensively, though.

Hate to be negative, but it's 14.

 

[HawkBall23]

My bad! Not you!

I was just giving ya crap. Didn't think that was aimed at me.

I mean, if anything, I was clearly the Hawks good luck charm in the 1st half.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Just that contested three from straightaway that landed short. Agree that his defense has been solid

 

[ichawks]

No points from CJ thus far. Let’s see if he can get involved.

 

[HawkLogic]

1 - JT
2 - CJ
3 - JW
4 - KM
5 - LG

This would be our best starting 5 by far... I'm dreaming that this is what we'll actually come with in 2nd half.

At the other site, it was noted that JoeT only has a few minutes all season where he was in lineup with CJ, Weezy, Garza. I agree the lineup above ought to be seen a lot...even Ulis for JT....but we never see it.

Fran gotta get CMAC his minutes. Keegan is way better than CMAC at the "4."

Post feed.

That’s the problem, only up 14, 42-28. Iowa better play the same as in the first half and don’t want to see the officials start favoring tOSU with calls to help a come back like we always see them do.

 

[Eternal Return]

Abandoned the zone.

I was just thinking to myself, "What if Iowa had gone man 2 man earlier in the year?" But, hey, better late than never. Some teams thinking Iowa's weak defensively might get surprised. Keegan, PMac (length), and Joe T really add a defensive element the team otherwise lacks.

 

[ichawks]

Has he even taken a shot yet? He has been locked in defensively, though.

0 for 1.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Play hard and have fun like you did in the first half. Go Hawks!

 

[HawkLogic]

No points from CJ thus far. Let’s see if he can get involved.

He missed his 1st 3pt shot....the guy refuses to hunt his shot and he's best shooter on team. That is on Fran. Fran needs heart to heart and tell the kid to effing shoot
CMAC and PMAC are not gun shy.

 

[Knothole Hawk]

The Hawkeye biggest job is to pick up Garza. Great line.

 

[Franisdaman]

IT ALWAYS GOES IN

that's what @Moral 's fiance said!

Yep, you're dreaming.

Keegan is more athletic but prone to some freshman mistakes. As much as people don't believe it conditioning is also a thing for younger players. They need to work up to the minutes you want them to play

 

[NevadaHawk]

11 points off the bench. Love it!

 

[Franisdaman]

i wanna see more of CJ

 

[BubsFinn]

Hawkeyes trail by 14?

 

[HawkBall23]

Did I fall asleep in the 1st half?? When did Iowa play zone, at least enough to make it an adjustment call by Rafftery to not play it as much??


And there's CJF!!!!!

 

[BBHawk]

Yes!

 

[Franisdaman]

Hi, CJ

missed ya!
