Is this open to the public?

Those are some great matchups....seems like Iowa chose the only weak sister.hmmmm....

Who did Rutgers and Michigan pick then ?

It’s more about keeping it local. Our viable options would’ve been Illinois StAte, Western Illinois, or maybe Northern Illinois. Creighton is off the table since we play them in Vegas.

It appears that a Division 1 University can either play 1 secret scrimmage game and 1 exhibition game or 2 secret scrimmage games. With the list you provided it appears that Iowa State has gone with 2 secret scrimmages, against Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I'm guessing that they are very informal and there is a lot of stoppages as coaches move players around and work on different aspects of the game. Is this correct?

Yes...and coaches will play different defenses that the other team wants to get some reps against as well.

Are you stupid or just can't read?

 

[Raptorpeeps]

Are you stupid or just can't read?

? Seems a little harsh.

Bad week?

 

[hawkjt]

Ok, RU is the exception...otherwise everyone listed plays a power five opponent.
It is a meaningless practice in the end but with our rigorous non-con schedule I thought Fran might want to prepare vs tough competition.
Maybe they were the only option and they have had decent teams in the past,so not a big deal.
Also,maybe Fran wants a chance to meld all the new guys against a managable foe.

 

[anon_2zMXH429BhxV1Npk]

It's funny that people think this is an actual meaningful game, like if Iowa were to play Duke in what amounts to less than a game with many pre-set situations and rotational lineups will somehow prepare them more for the season.

.

Wut?

Games NOT against Power 5 foes:
Indiana - Marquette
Michigan - Detroit
MSU - Gonzaga
Nebraska - Wichita State
Purdue - Providence
Rutgers - Towson

 

[MepoDawg#]

Power 5 is more of a football term. I’d include the the Big East in power conferences for basketball. I’d also include Gonzaga, and WSU is usually decent to good.

 

[hawkjt]

Yea I meant power six and figured WSU and Zags as top teams. l missed Detroit.
As I said not a big deal.
As for the Duke comment, no one said that these scrimmages mattered record-wise.
I presume that practicing vs Duke might give Fran a better read on how guys will play vs Texas Tech than if they practiced against Clark College...just my opinion.

So...Iowa is practicing against Clarke College? Or are you equating Illinois State and Clarke College?

 

[anon_2zMXH429BhxV1Npk]

Illinois State isn't Duke but they are a solid program and more than adequate "scrimmage" partner. A single practice against Duke is not going to be more valuable than a single practice against Illinois State. Wisconsin isn't gaining some huge advantage scrimmaging Iowa St.

 

[SSG T]

As of the last few years, scrimmaging IL State is probably on par with scrimmaging UNI. Would anyone be pissed if Iowa's secret scrimmage was UNI? Unlikely.

 

[hawkjt]

Not pissed.
Just an observation More surprised that many of these other schools are playing comparable level opponents than Iowa playing Ill. St.

 

[FloridaHawkeye]

Secret scrimmages. No media, no public allowed. Ok to release highlight videos?

View embedded media

The stands look full. Closed scrimmage?

Maybe you should actually press play on the video

 

[BBHawk]

That's even cheesier.

Bet the farm on Marquette this year. They didn’t miss a shot and held Indiana scoreless.

Seriously thanks for posting this. We’re all looking for any information we can find at this time of year. Hopefully someone leaks some Iowa tidbits on the 27th.

TRue, and Gonzaga is way more then decent.....

 

[hawkquiz]

Hopefully we will hear some news from the exhibition/closed scrimmage Tomorrow.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Is it in Carver?

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I would guess in the quad cities or somewhere between.

 

[perryhawk]

Bump....hopefully hear some news like we have from other scrimmages around the country this year.

 

[pamarcole]

This so called game isn't even a game ....just a glorified practice ....and people are complaining about who there playing ....must have came over from football board ....must find reasons to complain!!

 

[hawkeyeguy69]

Bump....hopefully hear some news like we have from other scrimmages around the country this year.

And lots of video! That I am starving for...

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Any updates?

 

[HawksRMe]

I heard Iowa dominated. Bakari Evelyn had 12 points and 8 assists. He tore up their guards with his speed.

I know it's a scrimmage against a lesser opponent but this is why I believe and why I think Fran believes this team will be competitive nationally.

We didn't have guards like Evelyn last year that can attack the paint and distribute. Nunge and Pemsl will fill the Cook void.

This team will be better than last year.

God I hope so. This sounds pretty positive.

 

[SotaHawk87]

It was allll Hawks boys.. Da NET would have been proud let’s just say that.. sounds like it was some situational scrimmaging as well so not sure how they tallied up the score.

 

[perryhawk]

God I hope so. This sounds pretty positive.

Where did you see CP84's post? I would like to read the rest of it and can't see it in your post. Thanks in advance.

 

[Gary-Waterloo]

Perry, CP84's post was in this thread but appears to have been taken down.

Per my source: offense and defense remarkably better than against Truman state. Played (4) 10 minute segments. Tied the 1st segment and lost the next 3. Each time was by 5 points.
