****Iowa vs Penn St Game Thread*****

[skydog0784]

Fran had a really bad half, squandered a nice lead w/ all the momentum going our way. It wasn't just Freeman w/ his second (although that didn't help); it was that horrible lineup he runs out there with 2 of 3 of Perkins, Payton, and Dix on the bench. 2 of those 3 need to be on the floor at all times.

 

[drh1150]

Maybe time to start Ladji and bring Freeman in at 1st TO.

Freeman is giving us nothing recently.

 

[omahawki]

If I'm sandfort a nice Bob Knight pass to the bridge of the nose would be in order. Penn State game plan is too see how much they can hammer Sandfort to get him off his mark. Refs aren't calling any of it.

 

[Buffalo43]

We close out with hands down

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Fortunate to only be down 8.

Someday Fran will realize that he needs to coach his players to reach and grab on defense and dare officials to call the fouls, cause that's what PSU is doing. I hate it, but so much basketball is that now.

Quick lockdown guards are needed. Reach and bump all game

 

[LukaDuka]

Any day now Fran will cash in those timeouts he never uses for a win or two. I swear it's in the bylaws somewhere.

Sandfort shouldv'e used one when he hit the floor with the ball and passed it to PSU for a layup

 

[jellyfish10]

Hate to break it to you, but this game has nothing to do with officiating. Teams that play us aggressively on defense give us fits, and, newsflash, our d and rebounding are nonexistent.

 

[LukaDuka]

Need Big O to stay on the floor & not foul. So much better with him in the game, obviously.

 

[IllQChawk]

Krikke has regressed

Krikke is a mid major player, Big Ten is over his head.

And we doubled their fouls anyways

rebounds at half are 14 to 16. not horrible, but yeah need to be tougher underneath.

 

[markfromj]

He held on to the rim...that is what refs called.

Well, while the ball was loose in the cylinder. That was a good call.

Now, the lack of a foul call…

 

[Roncuba55]

Fran is not a good in game coach. Stupid/bad subs... Kill momentum with that and refuses to call timeouts.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Krikke is soft.

That's been the case from the start of the season. He was scoring bunches against mostly lesser competition so it was easier to overlook.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

It's both. Home team is allowed to get away with murder. It's the the stupid "life on the road" garbage that is spewed.

Iowa not handling it well, but freedom of movement and hand checking calls are non-existent.

Wasn’t that Harding?

 

[DewHawk]

you just watch this **** show and wonder what the h*** do they (coaching) do at practice. I am not sure there is one aspect of the game they can consistently do.

 

[skydog0784]

Wasn’t that Harding?

No, it was Payton

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Hate to break it to you, but this game has nothing to do with officiating. Teams that play us aggressively on defense give us fits, and, newsflash, our d and rebounding are nonexistent.

Well, we know we are soft so any game where officials let it go we know what will happen.

 

[Mitch122]

Can’t we just skip the 2nd half and start the girls game?

 

[IllQChawk]

Fran, let's keep Brock on the bench, nobody wants to see Iowa come from behind with Harding on the floor, it's only another loss and keep playing your soft son of yours. He needs to get to 1000 points before he runs our of eligibility.

 

[kceasthawk]

“Half of Black Americans don’t have enough money to retire”. WTF? Isn’t it like 90% for Whites?

That has to be my least favorite commercial on all of TV, and the biggest piece of propaganda BS they run. More then half of ALL americans don't have enough money saved to retire, and yet we are supposed to focus on the 14% minority. Just typical media nonsense....

Problem is.....they would call every single one on the Hawks.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

And we doubled their fouls anyways

The way officials operate, we could have fouled twice as much, but they would have only called a couple more than they called that half anyway.

The old "dare them to call them all" mantra.

 

[Buffalo43]

Need Big O to stay on the floor & not foul. So much better with him in the game,

He needs touches as well

 

[Franisdaman]

Penn State with 7 points off 10 Iowa turnovers

PSU also with 7 second chance points.

Iowa not getting enough stops on D. Look at the shooting percentages:

How Penn State got to 42 pts:

6-13 (46%) from 3
7-12 (58%) from 2 pt range.
......................
13-25 (52%) overall shooting

10-14 (71%) FTS

How Iowa got to 34 pts:

2-8 (25%) from 3
12-22 (55%) from 2 pt range.
......................
14-30 (47%) overall shooting

4-4 (100%) FTS

If Brock can go, he needs to. He looked like he turned his ankle pretty good.

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Terrible last 10 minutes of the half. Dreadful. They looked lost - all of them.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Get it together in the second half Hawks!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Need to keep this game close so Pat can get to the line at the end.

 

[jellyfish10]

Naw…it’s not both. They are more aggressive. We don’t hit the offensive boards, poor on defensive rebounding, and aren’t moving the ball nor going downhill on offense. Respectfully sir, I disagree. Officiating not being on the road have nothing to do with this performance.

They already do, just ask Owen.....

Sooooo. FT attempts has a big impact. Who could have imagined shooting 10 more FTs would make a difference.

And 3 point shooting.

I’m super liberal and totally agree.

Oh. I absolutely agree that our aggressiveness and defense are not on the same level. But those fouls need to be called

 

[Hawksfor3]

Dix went down hard.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

Nice pass Sandfort

 

[hawkirugged17]

Another turnover by Iowa, by Hawks get it right back and Dix is fouled.

 

[LukaDuka]

Wasn’t that Harding?

Harding caused the ball to be loose

 

[BubsFinn]

Reeeeeally close to 10 seconds.
