****Iowa vs Iowa St game thread****

This has to be a top 5 college basketball rivalry. Uthoff doesn't drop a career high in one half, against anyone else. Also the chippiness, hatred, trash talk, and relevance of game past 4 years.
 
10-11 minute mark is where ISU has made their runs all season. If the Hawks get passed that point with a solid lead I'll start feeling a bit better.
 
Mike has more turnovers and awful shots at the end of halves/games than anyone in the history of basketball. Stop giving him the ball at the end. He has no clutch. He has no chill. He doesn't relax. I just wish Fran saw in Sapp what I see in him. He has awesome confidence that calms the team down.
 
ISU has a slight momentum run at the end. As is often the case, these first 4 minutes critical.

IA comes out crisp and keeps it even or increases the lead, and the mo swings to IA big time. Will be tough (not out of the realm of possibilities though) for ISU to come back.
 
19 amazing minutes. It sure ain't over by a long shot. That was just what they needed to end the half. I'd rather see a timeout on the last possession to give JU one more shot.
 
Game not even close to safe.

This is ISU MO. Get behind big, then make run. I doubt Uthoff can put up 30 pts in 2nd half. Need something out of Jok, Gesell, Baer, Clemmons. Less turnovers from Gesell and Woody.

If this game comes down to last possession, I want ball in Uthoff hands. Less chance of ball hitting back of backboard, or missing 2 fts, or getthing shot getting swatted.

In regards to Uthoff, did you miss the last game vs WIU and have the TV on mute? He put up 24 in first half Monday.
 
Iowa wearing big boy pants with swagger and attitude, as requested. Even dumped Niang on his ass, as requested. :) Now finish 'em off Hawkeyes. Turn it up a notch and keep Hilton sounding like church on Sunday and make those freakin' clones like it.
 
How many turnovers did Woodbury have that half? At least he's making his shots but quit turning the ball over.

You forgot his knack for missing the front end of a free throw.

This is more case of ISU having big heads. They went out in 1st round of NCAA last year, not like they are all they think they are.

Nahhhh I'm sure it'll be in sure handed Mike's hands. Geeeeezzuuss.
 
We need to pick up a couple of early fouls on their front court. ISU will make a run. Woody gave us a great start and is keeping them honest on the inside. Because we're so hot the boards are in our favor. Need to keep that trend going. ISU offense is awful. If we keep them half court I like our chances.

Passing it to woody at top of key was turnover most every time. Also Bad passes from Gesell and some bricks. I don't see anyone making shots besides Woody and mostly Uthoff. This seems like setup for classic ISU run in 2nd half while no one on Iowa side can make a shot. Uthoff better come out hot and aggressive, or else we need three other guys to step up if Uthoff comes out cold.

We didn't move as much on offensive end without the ball at the end of second have. We better keep working and that should help passing better too
 
Just gtfo Mike. He has no clutch at all. He can't make an entry pass to save his life. He's basically wasted Gabe O and Woody's careers by not being able to make an entry pass to save his dang life.

if I watch Gesell dribble around and turn it over at the end of a half/game again I might jump off my roof.
