****** Iowa vs USC Game Thread******

[NevadaHawk]

Dix has yet to score. 😣

 

[HawkBall23]

I turned my head for a second ..... how did that effing guy get a WIDE OPEN run for the poster jam!?!?!!?

Oh, that's how. (saw the replay)

Great body language by Pryce during the open cut and jam, too.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I don't know what defense to run. We have none. Bullied one on one. A team that can't shoot is hitting 3s. They are getting ridiculous shots to go down. We are late on switches. Our help defense has played right behind our own defender.

If we are within striking distance at half I think we can come back but my gosh this is all bad right now minus Freeman.

 

[DTP2]

Now that I have right thread. Anyone but Freeman show up?

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

38-27

same old shit

USC is over committing on defense. We need to work on our back cuts when teams do this

 

[DewHawk]

Iowa is skinny but they make up for it by being weak as well

 

[jonesy5960]

Dix is bleeding???

So no blood no foul. Blood now but still no foul.

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Thank GOD that Owen Freeman is a Hawkeye and doing work tonight.

He doesn't jump. He's slow. He's weak. He doesn’t box out. He seems put of shape. Did I mention he's slow?

He can score sometimes, only if he's taller or left wide open behind the arc, and he can block some shots here and there. That's about it.

Dix is bleeding???

Surely the refs couldn't have missed a foul or something that caused it

 

[DewHawk]

Now that I have right thread. Anyone but Freeman show up?

nope

 

[LukaDuka]

Need to change up D to that zone like Indiana game

 

[QChawks]

Ewww

I hate a bloody Dix

 

[kceasthawk]

Everyone losing their mind about the 3’s but both teams have hit 3 each and Iowa in 1 less attempt. They’re getting too many layups.

USC only makes 5 or 6 per game and have that half way through the first half. Thats the issue.....

 

[Hawksfor3]

Owen 11 Brock 5. These are the Hawks leading scorers.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

USC looks like they watched the Wisconsin tape.

 

[LukaDuka]

This looks like the last Iowa USC game.

The Holiday Bowl?

 

[Chishawk1425]

We are playing very reserved. Think 2nd half goes better

 

[TheRealHerky]

I don’t see staying up for much more of the same predictable crap from this team

 

[HawkBall23]

He doesn't jump. He's slow. He's weak. He doesn’t box out. He seems put of shape. Did I mention he's slow?

He can score sometimes, only if he's taller or left wide open behind the arc, and he can block some shots here and there. That's about it.

Who's the only guy in double figures for Iowa, so far?

 

[bansheexyz]

They are pick rolling us to death and we are playing so scared of the 3 that we arent sinking on the roller. Also, no help d on the roll.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Now that I have right thread. Anyone but Freeman show up?

Negative. Traore maybe.

 

[Mitch122]

Would be nice if Iowa could play well on the road, even just once.

 

[DewHawk]

going about as I expected sh** defense and they can't miss

 

[Jimmy McGill]

If Sandfort had any balls he wouldn't have just stood there and watch that big dude hammer that down. He would have pulled some META Artest and made a statement.

Gotta stick with the matchup zone and hope they cool off from outside.

 

[HawkLogic]

Freeman is dominating

But the other 4 USC guys are dominating their Iowa defender.

Too skinny, slow, slow twitched on defense.

This is bad down 14

 

[jonesy5960]

Brutal defense.

 

[HawkBall23]

jfc, this effing guy.

UGLY as fvck shot, and has yet to miss!!

🤬

 

[QChawks]

Another USC three

Drink!

 

[Hawksfor3]

 

[Mitch122]

Dude shoots like a 6th grader and can’t miss

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Who's the only guy in double figures for Iowa, so far?

Great. It's one game.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Holy crap. We might give up 100 again.

 

[ozzie8]

😂😂This defense. Holy shit

 

[smitchix]

USC is waaaay too athletic for us.

Sure looks that way right now.

 

[QChawks]

Dudes shoots like a 6th grader and can’t miss

I’ve been telling you that I can score at least double digits on this Iowa team

My shot looks better than that guy

 

[ShonnDeereGreene]

No defense and inability to rebound is a rough recipe, Fran…. But goddam if he doesn’t love that strategy year after year after year….

 

[StanzByMe]

He doesn't jump. He's slow. He's weak. He doesn’t box out. He seems put of shape. Did I mention he's slow?

He can score sometimes, only if he's taller or left wide open behind the arc, and he can block some shots here and there. That's about it.

Found the idiot

 

[NevadaHawk]

If not for Freeman we would be down by 25

 

[hawkeye_wx]

It's maddening how Iowa routinely makes poor 3pt-shooting teams look like a bunch of Steph Currys.
