*****Iowa vs Illinois (BTT) Game Thread*****

[Chishawk1425]

Proud of my Hawks!!!

 

[HawkBall23]

Illinois may be a bad shooting team when it comes to shooting from behind the arc, but don't really need to when you can drive and cut/back-cut the defense as easily as they can vs Iowa.

What’s the strategy to let guys take wide open looks?

 

[HawkBall23]

Cmon Robbie, Brock dares EVERYONE to shoot it over him!

 

[QChawks]

of course their worst shooter makes a three

 

[kwik44]

3 guys around, gets to the guy covered up. Easy 2.

 

[HawkBall23]

Pryce should have had the rebound and instead whiffs on it and falls right into their big man's hands.

CMON!!!!!!!

 

[QChawks]

this lineup sucks

 

[BubsFinn]

of course their worst shooter makes a three

Should be used to it by now.

 

[ozzie8]

Ladji that’s an awful ****ing effort

 

[TheRealHerky]

Of course Illinois just killing Iowa on the boards.

To out score them of course.

 

[BubsFinn]

Of course Illinois just killing Iowa on the boards.

Should be used to that too.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Get locked back in on D and rebound but love the effort!

 

[NevadaHawk]

Stay with them

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Iowa realizing they're just gonna need to hope they can make more shots than Illinois does, because they're sure as sh** not gonna hold them down defensively.

 

[QChawks]

Mulvey?

 

[bansheexyz]

Dembele is a terrible rebounder.

 

[QChawks]

Sandy

 

[skydog0784]

We got good Payton tonight!! Keep going!!!

 

[BubsFinn]

I dislike Illinois.

 

[HawkBall23]

Of course the bad shooting team is ripping the nets vs Iowa.


Who could have guessed!!

 

[NevadaHawk]

Sandy looking good

 

[Chishawk1425]

This team is good right now. Let's win this shit!

 

[Buffalo43]

Finally a defensive stop

 

[DewHawk]

not much defense

 

[Buffalo43]

We need Evan in there for rebounding

 

[skydog0784]

What an entertaining first half so far. Both club’s are playing at a high level - at least offensively…

 

[kwik44]

Like yesterday, make key stops and I like our chances.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Looks like another down to the wire game

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

We can’t stop a dribble drive. Everyone on Illinois drives by the Iowa defender. Then, we don’t block out.

 

[QChawks]

Looks like another down to the wire game

 

[Buffalo43]

Plus we are over helping on defense

 

[rufus-hawk]

The good: 65% shooting Good Guys, only 2 TOs

Not-so-good: Outrebounded 11-7

I’ll take it

 

[Chishawk1425]

not much defense

We are small and out manned they are absolutely battling

 

[TampaHawkfan]

Yep, still have halftime adjustments coming..

 

[Stormn Norman]

We need an athletic upgrade like crazy.. blow by’s, slow close outs and rotations, still getting out rebounded even when the opposition doesn’t have position.. hopefully Illinois will just shoot poorly and we get some open looks and get hot from deep!

 

[skydog0784]

Man our defense is atrocious

 

[Buffalo43]

Drive right down the middle against the zone

 

[HawkBall23]

Iowa "playing" defense.
