*****Iowa vs Purdue Game Thread*****

[IAFB2021Champs]

CMac stop shooting 3s that aren’t in rhythm

 

[kzoohawk80]

Dix takes that shot he sits. Connor oh no big deal keep playing.

 

[Franisdaman]

iowa is 1-10 from 3

yikes

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Again, if we're going to double him, it doesn't matter if we have a big guy in. Go with a lineup that is going to make his big ass come out of the lane on defense. Not sure who that is, because we're not making ANY shots anyway, but maybe we get a lane to drive.

 

[BlIIlken2]

Lol clueless tonight. I get it’s boys among men but Jesus. No pulse or creativity. Also **** Purdue and their creepy obsession with large men

 

[Buffalo43]

Deer in the Headlights

 

[Chishawk1425]

Oh well. Fighting hard and playing D. Can't make a simple shot. Win on Sunday

 

[briggshawk]

This is fun to watch.....

 

[CookyMonster]

Dix takes that shot he sits. Connor oh no big deal keep playing.

Dix also has unforced turnovers. Connor dropping dimes is our only offense.

 

[QChawks]

Glad I missed that first half

Guess I’ll skip the whole game and watch the women

Woof

 

[KcTo]

CMac regressing to mean on dribble to get his own 3point FGA…

 

[Mitch122]

How the **** was that a foul on Iowa? Still 1 only foul on Purdue

 

[kwik44]

Goodnight. Hope PU gets bounced early this year. Little guard play, all the goon.

At least we took a Big Ten title over them.

 

[DewHawk]

Does Iowa have any sets to get a shot for their shooters? Evidently not FM

 

[HawkBall23]

If the Hawks can't make a noticeable dent in this lead by the first media timeout after half, I'm gonna bail.

I've seen this story (road game @ PU, in very recent past) too many times before.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Dix takes that shot he sits. Connor oh no big deal keep playing.

He’s a 6th year senior he won’t make that mistake again. Oh wait

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Thank goodness the women are on.

 

[kzoohawk80]

I don't understand why Fran doesn't understand he needs to bring Edy out on the perimeter. This lineup isn't going to have offensive success.

 

[bansheexyz]

Iowa always gets boatraced in Mackey Arena. Always.

I also knew that our strategy this game was going to be to drive into Edey and that it would fail miserably.

 

[justinjdry]

Yep thats what I meant. Missing shots they normally make by the dozen

It's been the shot in their foot all season long. Probably the most well rounded Fran team we've ever seen but they just can't sink their buckets. And they hesitate to take their shots.

 

[Mitch122]

That was some bullshit smith just threw up

 

[Chishawk1425]

Get the women on. Battle late 3rd qtr BTN

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Welp...at least we've got a great women's game and some high school basketball to stream tonight.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Purdue with a late shot right before the half and it's 38-21 Boilers over Iowa.

 

[longliveCS40]

Launch 30 threes in the second half and hope you get hot and Purdue cools down.

 

[CarterHall]

The men..... not ready for prime time.

 

[BlIIlken2]

GAME




OVER



It’s like Fran just decided **** it, wasn’t even worth trying to play tonight. Why even show up if that’s the case?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I don't understand why Fran doesn't understand he needs to bring Edy out on the perimeter. This lineup isn't going to have offensive success.

How exactly do you bring him out? Not hitting 3s. If we had Garza he'd dominate that goon.

 

[skydog0784]

Our only hope is IA catches fire from 3 ball in the second half and PU goes really cold. This one is pretty much over. Big hill to climb...

 

[NevadaHawk]

Wow, what a bad first half.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Thank goodness the women are on.

I get the women are good but are this many people really excited to watch womens basketball? It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

 

[BVHawkeye]

Purdue has 1 foul at half?

 

[Buffalo43]

Kris turns his back on Smiths drive he could have blocked that

Just deer in Headlights we looked scared and rushed

 

[GHawk]

Edey isn't beating us, it's terribly Guard play. Our guards are terrible.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Our only hope is IA catches fire from 3 ball in the second half and PU goes really cold. This one is pretty much over. Big hill to climb...

I have 5 air balls that say not likely

 

[BioHawk]

Iowa isn't anywhere close to being competitive in this game. Not only is Purdue better at probably every position, Iowa has nobody to match up with their big guys. It just isn't happening for them. At least I can watch the girls game.

 

[NI hawk]

Like how we are playing.

Just have to make shots.

 

[Chishawk1425]

I get the women a good but at this many people really excited to watch womens basketball? It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

Not this Iowa team. Missing out

 

[justinjdry]

CMac stop shooting 3s that aren’t in rhythm

Dix takes that shot he sits. Connor oh no big deal keep playing.

Well nobody else is doing anything and the shot clock is winding down by the time he's taken his shots.

 

[Buffalo43]

iowa is 1-10 from 3

yikes

They are terrible shot selections
