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

Lol brock

 

[Mitch122]

Nice last possession. It’d be silly to use your use-it-or-lose-it time out.

 

[Hawkins63]

Seems like no one listens to Fran anymore. Not that it would make much difference.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

NW 30 - Iowa 26 at half.

We’re still in it boys!

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

Sh*t man, we're on pace to score 52 points in a game.

Not many teams in the country can deal with an offensive buzzsaw like that.

It's an exciting brand of basketball!

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Excellent offense Todd Fran.

 

[Buffalo43]

Good game by Brock but questionable end of half decision

 

[Grumpy Old Hawk]

This first half equates to watching a little wiener dog trying to hump a big beach ball.

Wow what an analogy !! Yet not far off.

 

[CarterHall]

Dix just turned a lay up into a 12 foot fade away. Business decisions.

He shoots too many fade aways.

 

[DTP2]

Terrible shot.

That narrows it down.

 

[Underscore2]

Traore should just quit the team now. What’s the point?

What’s Fran’s reason for benching him this time?

Passed to the wrong color jersey?

Hey, it's on the road against a top B1G team.... Oh wait

Ope I see he has 1 turnover. That must be it…

Put the rock in Drew and or Josh's hands for end of halves

BTW, this reaction gif was in response to both ANM's comment and the first half.

 

[intrepodor]

Ladji is like AOG

She's much better

 

[IllQChawk]

I'm sorry but Mulvey is clearly the best player to play against Nickolson and it's not even close. I'm guessing before the night is over Fran will have Kingsbury in there guarding Nickolson. makes sense to me...NOT!

 

[Hawkins63]

Passed to the wrong color jersey?

But taking a fade away and hitting the side of the backboard with 3 seconds left is more Frans style

 

[Buffalo43]

Pryce is a better player than Payton imo

Seems like Pryce has better shot selection and better on defense

It's almost over. His bags are packed.

 

[AmericaNeedsMe]

26 points in 20 minutes.

Believe me -- no one wants to draw this Iowa team in the Big Ten Tournament.

 

[Buffalo43]

All their low scoring players are having career nights

 

[HawkBall23]

The BTT called, it doesn't want either of these two teams in Indianapolis in 2 weeks.

 

[CarterHall]

Payton/Dix six points combined. Dembele/Brauns/Mulvey two combined.

 

[danny14]

Good game by Brock but questionable end of half decision

Not a great decision but looked like a foul.

Odd that Fran hasn't picked up a T or two as frustrating as this season has been. He looks like he might be up to the task tonight, if he can get the Francon up a notch or two.

They won't

Yup. Too painful to watch.

 

[HawkBall23]

Payton/Dix six points combined. Dembele/Brauns/Mulvey two combined.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Payton/Dix six points combined. Dembele/Brauns/Mulvey two combined.

Brauns got to play for about 4 minutes.

 

[Buffalo43]

He got his 4 minutes, man, what more do you want!?

/ Fran

🤣

 

[IllQChawk]

Lol brock

Agree, sadly

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Nah. I'd rather have Brock with a fade away, against a guy over 1 ft taller, falling out of bounds, off the side of the backboard.

Nah, Fran doesn't really care anymore.

They need to update the Francon meter.... With "pockets" at the bottom.

 

[HawkBall23]

Vegas and that new tourney called, told Iowa "don't even think about it".

 

[intrepodor]

The BTT called, it doesn't want either of these two teams in Indianapolis in 2 weeks.

They're fighting it out not to go.

 

[Buffalo43]

/ Fran

Seydou would do well in this game he is the most athletic player on the court

 

[HawkBall23]

I'd rather watch old people f*ck than watch this game.

There would certainly be more scoring action.
