*****Iowa vs Illinois Game Thread*****

[Franisdaman]

shit.........

86-77, Illinois

2:25 to go

 

[iowaathletes]

Refs got what they wanted. Noww we no fouls on them. F this crap.

 

[drew_hawk]

Tony with two straight turnovers at the worst possible time.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Can’t rebound out of a zone. So stick with it.

 

[QChawks]

tough loss

 

[CookyMonster]

We got tired

 

[83Hawk]

BS.

Looks like you're wrong again.

 

[Carolina Hawk]

We can't box out in the zone.

Gotta actually try

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

Perkins kind of checked out

 

[Mitch122]

Remember when this game was tied at 75? Good times

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Never get invested

 

[Chishawk1425]

Illinois is good, damn good and just lost and are pissed. Perspective

 

[Buffalo43]

Zone just plan sucked today

 

[iowaathletes]

They ruin so many games.

 

[Mohawkeye]

If we don't come back, that's five losses with a 7+ point lead in second half.

7 points is not a lot in basketball.

 

[BlIIlken2]

Worst finishing team I’ve ever seen.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

These imaginary fouls are killing the Hawks

 

[DewHawk]

sloppy play, no rebounding, and bad shooting. Down 10 now and look like s****.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

We don’t block out on a free throw

 

[bhelm22]

Fran is basketball stupid, it's so blindingly obvious that this zone is terrible. It's either a wide open 3 that goes in or if they miss, offensive rebound every single time.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Perk to Freeman for 2. Down 8 with 2:00 left.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye1976]

Couldn’t finish it. Oh well didn’t expect to win this one.

 

[Mohawkeye]

How can you get a time when we had our hands on the ball too? That's a jump ball.

Bullshit gift to Illinois.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Down 8 in a 2-3. Great coaching

 

[BubsFinn]

Total collapse down the stretch.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Remember when this game was tied at 75? Good times

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Krikke is shockingly bad at defense

 

[iahawks10]

Rented mules get treated better than Krikke does on defense

 

[bhelm22]

Krikke is absolutely lost on defense

 

[denmar81]

Hawkins should average 30 a game for as much as he’s protected by officials

 

[DewHawk]

Iowa's reaction times when in the zone are sloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww

+1. I really want to like Patrick, but Fran continually putting him out there is doing more harm than good.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

Can’t rebound out of a zone. So stick with it.

Last 6 min wide open easy shots or fouls out of the zone. All started tied 75 they come down make one pass and a guy has inexplicably a wide open 3.

 

[squawkinhawk]

How old is Coleman Hawkins? He looks 45 and has been at Illinois forever

 

[Stormn Norman]

Tough… suffocated and smothered.. they just made everything way to difficult on both ends..

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hawkins 27 points. Arrrgh.

 

[bhelm22]

How old is Coleman Hawkins? He looks 45 and has been at Illinois forever

He's 25 and takes 40 shots a game

 

[iowaathletes]

Dumb basketball Payton

 

[BubsFinn]

So are we saying he hit a 6'7" guy in the face while he was on the ground?

 

[hawkirugged17]

Sandfort fouls out hustling for the ball. Iowa down 10 with 1:09 left.
