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

[sm_hawkeye]

Stop sandfort, stopppp

 

[HawkBall23]

Sandfort needs to get his shots in

Yet Traore gets yanked immediately if he forces a shot and airballs just like that.

 

[intrepodor]

Man, my internet dropped and just came back and IA goes on an 11-0 run. Sounds like Brauns has been a big lift. Love that kid's attitude!!!

Greatest energy

 

[DewHawk]

Dix is struggling. Pa Sandfort is really really struggling. I think this team would actually be better if PS was sitting about half the time. His frenetic state is not helpful. JMO

 

[IChawkeye45]

Illinois can blow by Iowa at will yet they are settling for threes and they can’t shoot. 🤔

 

[NevadaHawk]

At least we're showing some effort after that horrendous start

 

[HawkLogic]

If BH could make a 10/15 ft runner when he breaks down the defense, it would make a huge difference. They know he won't shoot and do not go to the ball, so all are covered.

There is enough film to defend Harding. WHen he drives into the paint as long as the defender doesn't leave his feet, then Harding can't score. He's just way to short---everybody can post him up.

Fran picks favorites and is stubborn to bone about playing based on court performance

 

[Jimmy McGill]

I want a change, the Minnesota game broke me with Fran but give these guys credit. They are battling. The pathetic shit here rooting against them is pitiful

You are wrong. We are routing for the school. Until change is made than you can kindly GFY with a mediocre program.

You mean his quick shot air balls when the hawks get a little bit of momentum ?

What an absolute stupid take. These guys right here and right now are battling. Period

 

[intrepodor]

Stop sandfort, stopppp

He's got to get his 30 attempts for 20 points.

 

[HawkBall23]

Mulvey gets undercut and hits the floor hard, but foul is on him ........

 

[jdw10224405]

Getting to the point of feast or famine with Payton.

Getting to? Don't want to hate on the guy, but that describes his whole career here. More feast than famine, but extremely streaky.

 

[HawkLogic]

2 airballs by Sandy

I think JBO would go a whole season with 2 Airballs. Payton 2 in 1st half.

 

[DTP2]

Four straight awful possessions.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Come on Dix. Get your head in the game

 

[ozzie8]

Do they plan on showing the replay?

Everyone that plays basketball can be posted up, something you can't understand.

 

[MikeyHawk]

Good call

 

[danny14]

Illinois kid with Francon poster...has fans everywhere!

 

[HawkLogic]

Good call.

Have I cheered against the players,? You are beyond dumb if don't see the writing on the wall.

Every game loses at this point saves money for next coach.

It is called a transactional decision. Sorry if I offend you.

 

[doughuddl2]

Credit to reversal goes to Fran talking to the refs

 

[MikeyHawk]

obvious moving screen there

 

[HawkBall23]

Other than an occasional 3 and rebound, what does Dembele bring to the team? Honestly??

 

[HawkLogic]

WEll they took it away with Dimbele call.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Hawks can't ever catch a break, even when they catch a break

 

[NevadaHawk]

Good hustle Sandy

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Big 10 refs hate Fran and I don't blame them

 

[HawkBall23]

Totally expected that heave to go.

Completely believed it was good.

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

Jeezus these officials suck ass.

 

[DTP2]

Last 8 possessions were bad again.

 

[HawkLogic]

Everyone that plays basketball can be posted up, something you can't understand.

yeah but everyone else can defend, Harding is about size of Lil' LIck.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Hawks can win this

 

[HawkBall23]

Only down 7 at half.

Thank goodness Illinois hit that big cold spell in the middle of the half.

 

[bhelm22]

Death, taxes and awful transition decisions by Payton Sandfort

 

[jdw10224405]

Illinois kid with Francon poster...has fans everywhere!

First time in while Fran might actually register on that scale tonight. Old pockets there has been at Francon 9 all season.

 

[DTP2]

Jeezus these officials suck ass.

The job title should change to suckass.

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

Hawks can win this

Yes. Yes they can.
