******Iowa vs Duke Game Thread******

[Chishawk1425]

Rebraca

Yep fixed my post but 1-4 layups is a lol

 

[iowaathletes]

Dukes just playing stall ball now.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Phantom foul. DRINK

 

[longliveCS40]

CMac with the idiotic foul on a fadeaway prayer.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Big o has been solid too. Don’t understand his usage either.

 

[bansheexyz]

Can someone force Rebraca to shoot free throws for hours? He is worse than Shaq for god's sake.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Man, this sucks

 

[Mohawkeye]

This isn't a vintage Duke team, but the do have 5 -star athletes and length and we don't.
Really thought this would be a good 3ball Iowa team and so far the're not.

Biggest shock so far this season is our 3 point shooting. Atrocious. WTF is Sandfort’s deal?

 

[Franisdaman]

11 missed lay ups (13-24)
11 missed threes (3-14 for 21%)
6 missed FTs (7-13 for 54%)

 

[Fair Child]

WHERE ARE YOU PASSING PAT!?!?

embarassed again in a big game. No moxie, no chip on our shoulder. Just roll over, it’s in our DNA to lose.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Any positives from this sh*t show?

Rebraca held his own. Missed layups and FTs tho....

 

[briggshawk]

Duke: "Not playing well"
Iowa: "Hold my beer......"

 

[HawkBall23]

Most of this is just being whiny 'in the moment', but struggling to see how Iowa is gonna compete for a 'bye until the quarters' seed in the BTT if the rest of the conference is gonna have the blueprint to shutting them down.

 

[KcTo]

This is not close to a classic Duke team either. This season could get ugly. Neither of these 2 teams look near as good as the 2 in the 1st game(Illinois-Texas)

Duke has multiple nba talent…give them some games, they will be a tough out

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

11 missed lay ups
11 missed threes (3-14 for 21%)
6 missed FTs (7-13 for 54%)

Duke plays great defense on those FTs tho.

How many turnovers?

 

[Legs94]

Fran is a bad coach. If we have a bad offensive night, we have no chance. Can’t shoot free throws. Terrible defense, can’t rebound. Soft as hell

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Patrick literally bounced passed it into three Duke defenders twice in one minute lol

While we were on the cusp of a single digit game. Unreal. Everytime he dribbles into traffic than does his stupid back to the basket pivot thing I know it's going to end poorly

 

[KcTo]

Come on Pat! Bad d and a turnover when cut to 11. Just keep it under 15.

And that is a surprise?

 

[Moral]

This team will be lucky to make a bowl game this year.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

The Haves vs The Haves Not…

 

[sm_hawkeye]

Yep fixed my post but 1-4 layups is a lol

And 0-3 for free throws. Good lord.

 

[BBHawk]

Tournament results say a lot.

Why bring that up in the middle of game thread? It literally has nothing to do with the game.

 

[longliveCS40]

Bowen needs 30 minutes a game.

 

[iowaathletes]

Fran acts like he doesn’t want to be there.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Bowen clearly needs to play more. Geesh Fran needs to get his head out.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Iowa gets a stop, Bowen drives the floor and finds a trailing Sandfort for a wide open three. Clank.

Bowen single handedly trying to get us back in the game

 

[Sett1997]

I want us to win so badly, I've been watching this shit show for 30 years now. It doesn't change much! Lol
Now all I do is bitch about it. 🤣🤣

 

[mikesright]

This team looks like it is playing past its bedtime. Sloppy, unfocused, inprecise offense. This is how it always looks against elite teams in big moments under Fran - overwhelmed by its weaknesses

 

[Moral]

Is someone skinning a cat alive in the stands?

 

[Franisdaman]

told ya Bowen needed more minutes

 

[Hawkfan_08]

We found our starting point guard.

Now we need a shooting guard.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Bowen needs more effing minutes. Only bright spot tonight.

Payton 0-3 from 3. He's offering NOTHING at this point

 

[longliveCS40]

Sandfort cannot buy a three and plays bad defense. He's contributing nothing currently.

 

[HawkBall23]

Bowen showing out.


............ now that Duke has shut it down and just keeping the clock running.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

How was Duke only favored by 3 and why wasn’t the Texas/IL the marquee game?🤪

 

[Chishawk1425]

And 0-3 for free throws. Good lord.

Front end 1 and 1s too aka the equivalent of a turnover

 

[Franisdaman]

Any positives from this sh*t show?

Rebraca held his own. Missed layups and FTs tho....

Dasonte 8 points in 14 minutes

 

[sm_hawkeye]

Fran why the hell are you not giving Bowen and Josh more minutes. Rebracca has heck of effort. But he should have never been anything more than a 6th man. If Josh is your only other center you need to develop him.

 

[bansheexyz]

Bowen looks great. Play him instead of Uhlis all the time.

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Fran acts like he doesn’t want to be there.

So do all the players. Pitiful effort tonight.
