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

[QChawks]

6pm BTN
Purdue -13.5
O/U 164.5

Fran's team has a tall order tonight, pun intended. Purdue coming off the shocking loss at NW will not be a welcoming the Hawkeyes. Iowa's last win in West Lafayette was 2015. Purdue is 16-4 in their last 20 games against Iowa at home and has the 7-3 advantage in the last 10 games.

Unless Edey gets into foul trouble early and often I don't see the hawks escaping with a dub. I'm seeing a 91-74 Purdue victory.

Give Freeman the ball on the low post, let him take it directly at Eddy, get Eddy in foul trouble and out of the game.

freeman scores or gets fouled, or gets shot blocked, with 2 of the 3 outcomes being positive.

Freeman is expendable on the defensive side, and can play super aggressive post defensive

 

[goodbyebobby]

Abuse Fletcher Loyer like NW did, repeatedly, with Bouie(sp).

He nor Smith are good defenders, at all, no matter what PU thinks.

Purdue shot 5-19 threes against Northwestern, against Iowa Im sure they will be 12 of 20 or so lol......Hope the team brings the energy and has a decent night of shooting with a chance to win .

 

[Obviously Oblivious]

Hawks need to shoot well tonight, including from beyond the arc. We also need to pray that Purdue has an off night shooting as well.

 

[cornwelly1234]

Bad feeling about this one but hope they can at least be competitive. The bigs will have their work cut out for them.

 

[ChicagoBoiler78]

Just bring your secret weapon (Rick Mount) and have Purdue honor him in some way. Game over.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Fran will be T'd up before first tv timeout

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

he better play krikke and freeman together. krikke will have to hit midrange shots like he did vs creighton or we are in serious trouble. Krikke ain't hitting anything close.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Go Hawks! Keep driving into the paint. Draw the fouls.

 

[DewHawk]

IMO it is going to be a long night for Iowa.

 

[icwesthawk]

We don't rebound better than we have in previous games, this is over before it starts. Our guards are going to have to score and defend to have a chance. Not giving the Hawks much of a shot here.

I was at that game. Day after Stanford made us look silly.

We pressed you guys after half and you guys were uncomfortable.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Easy pu win coming.
What I'd like to see is Iowa do something unexpectedly positive on the defensive end even in the face of a loss. Like decently defend the three point line. Or keep the rebound margin within 5. Not asking for all of them. Just do one thing at least decently on the defensive end. Do that and might make a 30 point loss into more like a 15-20 point loss.

I don't mind our "rival" but you guys don't look much different than last year, especially after Friday night. Not that you won't work us tonight....

Your thoughts?

 

[JRHawk2003]

This could be real real ugly. Hope I am wrong.

Just play the young guys Fran.

No choice...must trap Edey and hope they shoot poorly from three.
If they makem..blowout.
If not..barnburner.
Iowa 86-Pu 85

[Franisdaman]

Brock will posterize Edey tonight.

Watch:

what about our guys that are not good defenders? There are 5 of them in starting line up.

Guards need to help out with rebounding

I don't think you honestly believe Iowa will win at Mackey.

 

[Franisdaman]

Krikke for 2

 

[Franisdaman]

Payton with the air ball

yikes

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

That’s one of Pat’s best takes ever

 

[Franisdaman]

PMac with the nice drive

5-4 PU leads

 

[Franisdaman]

damn it, try not to foul Edey

lol

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Looked like a clean block of Edey....

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Don't fight for position against Edey.... It's a foul apparently.

Bad freshman turnover for Freeman on the inbound right before that.... Ugh

 

[BioHawk]

Well, fouling the crap out of Edey every time he gets the ball under the basket isn't a sustainable plan against him.

 

[Franisdaman]

Owen enters at roughly the 16:30 mark

and he has 1 foul already

Edey has drawn 3 fouls so far

 

[Hawksfor3]

Stay with your man.

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Edey has reached another level.

 

[doughuddl2]

Garbage turnovers

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Gonna get ugly

 

[doughuddl2]

****ing A that was a foul
