*****Iowa vs Ohio St (BTT) Game Thread*****

5pm on the Cock
Ohio St -5.5
O/U 155.5

Two mediocre teams square off on Day 1 of the Big Ten Tournament.

Iowa got waxed by OSU in their only game this year, giving up 52 pts in the second half. The Hawkeyes lead every statistical category over the Bucks, except rebounding, free throws and defense.

For that reason, I’m seeing 82-77 OSU

They don't lead in wins.

GO HAWKS
Too bad it's on the cock.

 

[BrewHawk]

OSU by 20.

Postseason is where our low ceiling shows itself...

...year after year.

 

[IChawkeye45]

Iowa in March…. No guards, no defense, no success. For decades. Like clockwork.

 

[Buffalo43]

If they continue their all around play from Nebraska game we get the win today

Passing was fantastic in that Nebraska game.

Run that back against OSU, and we're on to the next game.

Agree..very crisp. Now make some shots and we might survive to play on Thurs.
Dix was fighting flu vs OSU and had his only scoreless game...he needs to be good today.

I wanna see more Brauns and more Harding today. Love Brauns athleticism and Iowa is always in need of that. Brock is shooting pretty well and I think is a better passer than Thelwell, plus Drew is throwing up a lot of sloppy stuff at the rim. Otoh, Drew often seems to hit a three when no one else can.

Who knows, maybe this ragtag squad can make a lil' run when so many better squads couldn't. At least I hope life works that way this week 🤷‍♂️.

 

[BrewHawk]

Unlike any Hoiberg coached team, OSU actually plays defense.

Those passing lanes aren't going to be there today.

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that this be my last game as your head coach.

Thank you.

 

[BrunoMars420]

Pointless game for the program.

Fire Fran and get on with hiring a new coach.

Ha, you're going to trip a lot of people up today with this post.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Nebraska shot 35%, including 22% from 3. If OSU does that the Hawks have a chance.

 

[HawkBall23]

The 'Revenge Tour' begins here!

OSU tonight, Illinois tomorrow night, Maryland on Friday night, either of Michigan or Purdue on Saturday and either of MSU/Wisconsin or UCLA for the 'ship on Sunday!!!!!!!!

This post deserves so many likes/loves.


(but I wouldn't be too terribly upset if the game tomorrow or Friday night was instead Fran's last)

it would be nice to knock OSU out of the NCAA Tournament tonight.

 

[hawkjt]

OSU has lost 4 of 6 with one win a double OT win by 2 at home vs Nebraska and the other vs USC.
Might not be playing great but have big incentive to win to solidify NCAA hopes.
But that also could put pressure on them late while hawks should feel zero pressure...
Iowa 77 osu 75

 

[HawkBall23]

it would be nice to knock OSU out of the NCAA Tournament tonight.

And damage Illinois' NET a bit tomorrow night, as well.

I suppose you bastards who don't pay for the Cock will want a free link.

And then after I lose tonight you'll ironically turn off the Cock & kick me in the nuts and send me on my way!

 

[BrewHawk]

They must have taken that pic right after a lift.

L-inky - poo?

I have Peacock, but I still wanna kick you in the nuts 🤷‍♂️.

Good for you, that sounds like so much fun.

Hopefully it will be a great memory someday for your kid.

Harding is a part time player.

Harding can't defend the OSU PG Thornton 6'2 215. Agree Harding is a nice passer and occasionally a good shooter. Harding had good game vs Nebraska, which happens to have the worst guard group in B1G.

I do agree more Brauns. Not seeing what Fran sees in playing Dimblele more minutes, unless seeing a guy miss layups is your thing.

I think Iowa shocks basketball World and Advances.

 

[83Hawk]

I don’t have Peacock so won’t watch the game. The alternative is Dolph on the radio, where I may or may not know what is going on.

Iowa will win and Fran’s job is saved.

Tell Fran bye for the rest of us.

Regarding Brock, maybe I'm a little bit like the ol' ballcoach himself, I never think about defense, lol.

Other than hitting the occasional three and a putback here or there, Dembele is pretty much just a body, imo.

Hope you’re wrong as I want to see the Hawks live for another day.

Too bad it's on the cock.

My home internet sucks so I end up watching it on my phone which also sucks as it has a lot burn-in.

Someone please tell me a cheap but comparable alternative as a replacement for this old Samsung Galaxy ... right now!

 

[IowaHawkIT]

Somebody came through with a link for the women's game when it was on the Cock. Hopefully that's the case today.

Most of you deserve to be Cock blocked!

It would be fun to smack them back down to that 8/9 line.

No sweet sixteen for you! lol

 

[Iron Doc]

Just out of curiosity, why was Brauns basically not utilized until recently?

 

[Hawks2626]

He gives too much effort and plays defense.
