*****Iowa vs Rutgers Game Thread*****

[BlIIlken2]

Didn’t realize it was an 11am game and just turned it on. Immediately noticed that short white dude with the head band. How long has he been there?!? Jeeze. Also how many times have the announcers used scrappy player or a real gym rat phrase to describe him?

 

[QChawks]

Home from church, looking good!

Chris Street is the subject on the B1G Story 1-18-23.

Looks like i'm crying that night.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Kingsbury in ... Sandfort fouled on a 3 attempt.

 

[longliveCS40]

Really impressed with the way the guys have played defense this first half. Combine that with good passing and threes dropping and we are up by 9 points.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Sandy hits 3-3 at the FT line

 

[HawkRugged17]

Iowa up 39-30. Most points allowed by Rutgers in any half this season.

 

[WSC72]

When the officials start calling fouls on an offensive post player who uses his shoulder to gain an advantage this game will be more enjoyable to watch.

Unfortunately Garza would have fouled out if every game if that were called

 

[longliveCS40]

It's unfortunate Bowen hasn't played very well because Ulis is not good.

 

[NI hawk]

Damn it Ulis. Not even close

 

[NevadaHawk]

No shot

 

[HawkRugged17]

Looks like that shot by Rutgers should not count. Iowa leads 39-30 with 1:25 left in first half.

 

[longliveCS40]

Sandfort for threeeeeeee!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Deep 3 from Sandfort. Wow

 

[QChawks]

A lot of missed RU bunnies

 

[QChawks]

Sandfort for threeeeeeee!

who?

 

[NevadaHawk]

Fast and furious

 

[iowaathletes]

Nice close out.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Iowa leads 42-30 at half. Who saw that coming?

 

[QChawks]

42-30 hawks at half

quite surprised

 

[longliveCS40]

Hell of close to the first half. 12 point lead. It'll get tougher in the second half with our short bench. Fatigue will probably be a factor but hopefully they come out hitting shots like the first half.

 

[TDJ7]

Good half fellas. I like it.

 

[BrewHawk]

Surprised we're actually playing defense for a change. Amazing the effect it has.

 

[Buffalo43]

Philp having another nice game only 1 foul I think

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Fran has to sub rebraca out to nice and awhile a minute before the tv timeout. His feel for subs patterns is not good.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Kind of sloppy...missed shots by both teams... up by 12 on the road. Nice I'll take it

 

[denmar81]

Rutgers missing bunnies under the rim helps. Hopefully it continues.

Critical. We need him on the court.

Fran states he needs to give Dix more minutes after Dix closes out Indiana game
Dix plays 90 seconds sits
then Fran plays Kingsbury last 90 seconds (who didnt play at IU and who rarely plays)

and people here wonder why Fran game coaching is critiqued

There's still a chance to only score 46 lol

A lot of Dix's minutes where because Fran benched Ulis in the 2nd half. I doubt with Rutgers ball pressure that we don't see a lot of Perkins and Ulis in the 2nd half today. Ulis hasn't played well and it's possible Dix gets put in with McCaffrey to end game today.

 

[HawkRugged17]

4 shots on Iowa's first possession. No hoop.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Kris for 3

 

[HawkRugged17]

Kris 3!

 

[longliveCS40]

Ulis misses a wide open 3.

 

[longliveCS40]

Fantastic passing today. Guys are moving off the ball and getting open.

 

[lucas80]

Pretty ragged on offense to start things off in the second half. We just get nothing out of our guards
