*****Iowa vs Northwestern Game Thread*****

[HawkBall23]

Dix and 3balls.

What a combo!!

 

[Franisdaman]

DIX!!!!!!!!!!

again!!!!!!!!

44-41 Iowa!!!!

 

[Moral]

 

[NevadaHawk]

Keep looking for Dix.

Indeed!

 

[HawkBall23]

WTF Sandy!

STUPID forced shot

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Stupid shot PS

 

[Terrykohawk]

Think I figured out why Fran’s teams struggle defensively. They do not grab and hold every cutter and dribble move like the rest of the league does. Painful to watch a beautiful game get ruined by refs allowing a wrestling tournament to break out. 😖

 

[HawkBall23]

Build up a big lead starters.

The line change is coming soon.

 

[Franisdaman]

N'w up a shit Krikke as Ben makes the layup

46-41, IOWA!!!

 

[Franisdaman]

not a good shot by tony

46-41, IOWA leads

15:32 to go

media time out

I am always amazed that D1 players that are pretty much gym rats their whole life cannot consistently make (50% +/-) an uncontested open shot that is appropriate for their position.

Free throws have always baffled me too. Seems like no high division basketball player should be below 75%.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

I'm liking this Dix, fella.

 

[paladinhawk]

Does any team have worse collective facial hair than NW?

 

[kwik44]

Up 5 with the ball. Be prepared for the strong NW push out of the timeout.

 

[DewHawk]

Dix is not only a physically skilled player he is a cerebral player IMO. Hopefully next year he will put a little more muscle as well.

 

[markfromj]

First four out not last four.

Although last four makes more sense.
The first four out should be the 2-26 teams.

 

[HawkBall23]

NW being a Quad 1 road win opportunity ...........

How times have changed. Used to be a loss at NW was a horrible loss on your 'resume'.

 

[BubsFinn]

Kinda surprised that wasn't a flagrant 1 on us.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Up 7

 

[hawkeye_wx]

When is the last game Iowa did NOT have a solid second half lead at some point?

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Tough shot Krikke

 

[kwik44]

Cringe every time Krikke takes the 12 foot fade.

But nice hit.

 

[KcTo]

Sorry but i dont want to see Brock and Pryce in second half

And along with zero box score guy PMac,

 

[HawkBall23]

That Martinelli has such a GD punchable face.

Like every other team Iowa plays, some dude who has a 'game'.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Getting some scoring from Krikke

 

[hawkeye_wx]

C'mon, Perkins. He can't be missing open 7 footers.

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Another terrible shot Tony. Zero passing there

 

[Franisdaman]

Ladi fighting for the rebound!

Iowa ball

Love these freshmen

 

[HawkBall23]

Sure hope Tony finds the range, because he is really forcing that pull up in the lane move.

 

[NI hawk]

Pat's in
Ohoh

 

[KcTo]

PMac guy for open 3….
🤯

 

[Franisdaman]

leaving 3 pt shooters wide open is not a good strategy

 

[Hawksfor3]

That Martinelli has such a GD punchable face.

Like every other team Iowa plays, some dude who has a 'game'.

He has a great hook shot.

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Sure hope Tony finds the range, because he is really forcing that pull up in the lane move.

All decent shots. Just not falling 😢

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

leaving 3 pt shooters wide open is not a good strategy

That was great ball movement on NW part. That last quick pass was deadly

 

[KcTo]

Pat's in
Ohoh

It will allow rest of team to stuff their down box score stat lines

 

[Franisdaman]

Krikee again!!!!

 

[HawkCat]

That Martinelli has such a GD punchable face.

Like every other team Iowa plays, some dude who has a 'game'.

Martinelli has been on a tear lately. He scored 27 two nights ago against Maryland.

 

[Franisdaman]

Booooooooooooooo

Buie!!!

 

[NevadaHawk]

Too easy
