I think the Hawks win this one.

 

[DewHawk]

Can't wait for the game....................

 

[Franisdaman]

My wife, Margaret, and I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

 

[warriors dad]

GO Hawks! Need this one.

 

[Buffalo43]

We win a close one

 

[TampaHawkfan]

@NW is definitely winnable.

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

NW will shoot lights out because they are playing the Hawkeyes.

Iowa 79
NW 84

😖

 

[BrewHawk]

Two main reasons this won't go well.

1. No Owen Freeman
2. NW won't allow Payton to go 4/9 again from three

Northwestern 85
Iowa 75

 

[MikeyHawk]

Iowa can win, will depend on how many 3's Sandfort and Dix make

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Another battle to stay out of the league basement. woo hoo.

 

[Iron Doc]

I may hide under a rock for this game.

 

[Rifler]

Next year...

 

[djwoody]

I think I will watch Severance twice during this game.

 

[LukaDuka]

They will be out for serious revenge. Especially against Dix who put a three ball in their eyeball at the buzzer!

[83Hawk]

Northwestern is terrible. Many of you are overestimating them. They may win tonight, but they are not a juggernaut.

And yes, I am aware the Hawks aren’t exactly world beaters themselves.

 

[EagleHawk]

NW will shoot lights out because they are playing the Hawkeyes.

Iowa 79
NW 84

😖

Opponents are shooting 75% on the corner three against Iowa. j/k, that may be a little low. I don't know why we continue to leave shooters open from this spot.

 

[icwesthawk]

Both teams need a win to keep playing. I think a good game to watch. Take the Hawks and points, -4.5.

 

[Underscore2]

Been watchin how Fran’s breakin the colts. But we cannot play them all the way man on man. They got no head toppers. Bunch of mites. Run ya off the boards. Gotta squeeze em back in the paint. Make em chuck it from the cheap seats. Watch that purgatory they used to call a gym. No drive 12 foot in:

That’ll do.

[HawkCat]

Northwestern has lost two of its three best players to season-ending injury since the tilt in Iowa City. It has been a rough year for both teams.

Let’s hope when they are chucking it from the cheap seats, they don’t make them!

 

[QChawks]

I just hope both teams have fun

 

[Iron Doc]

If I watch the game, I will probably inadvertently hex us.

I think they need to run the picket fence, too. They just need to not get caught watching the paint dry.

Iowa recruited him hard. Saw him giving a big hug to the assistant who recruited him when he did the broadcast of the PSU game in IC...

[HawkBall23]

I'm predicting Iowa loses this game similar to the way they won the first matchup.

Something like a banked-in 3 - either on a heave or something so ugly it goes in just because opponents always hit that vs the Hawks - and it'll be with a couple seconds left, if not a true buzzer-beater.

[Matt1nb7]

Not even a game on fs1 at 6pm.. no reason this game isn’t on at 7pm.

 

[Buffalo43]

Not even a game on fs1 at 6pm.. no reason this game isn’t on at 7pm.

Not that it matters but Purdue and Ucla are on fox at 7
