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

[HawkeyeGenius]

Coming into the game, USC was #206 in the country shooting the 3 ball (33.3%).

Tonight they are 7-11 (65%).

They also shot 60% (12-20) from two.

All you can do is laugh. Iowa refuses to seize opportunities to pad their resume. They'd rather sit at home in March I guess. You all have a good night.

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.

Also, we aren't actually defending the 3 either.

 

[MikeyHawk]

Do you suppose Fran sometimes yells for one his boys to get into the game?

Iowa would probably be ahead if Connor was still on the team, been told he was a true difference maker

 

[ShonnDeereGreene]

Please sweet baby Jesus let this be Fran’s last year. I can’t take anymore of this no defense and no rebounding thing. It’s total insanity.

 

[BirdistheWord]

If any NBA scouts are there…Dix and Payton primed for G League.

 

[KcTo]

fran is the definition of insanity

 

[DewHawk]

you think Fran has a clue on substitutions during the game?

nope, he has a pre-game plan and once that is in the crapper he has no clue. Terrible game coach

 

[Franisdaman]

Fran may have to get ejected. Need a spark.

definitely thinking about it

I never thought Payton had more than a 1% chance for NBA. Players that shoot are a dime a dozen in the NBA. The rest of his offensive game is not much. His defense is subpar for NBA (that says alot). Just MHO

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

This game feels like a round 2 Fran classic in March madness

You lost Doodle at "round 2".

 

[NevadaHawk]

Dix 3

Dix would get eaten alive in G league. He's getting eaten alive right now.

 

[longliveCS40]

OK even when defending well, they are hitting threes. Not good.

 

[HawkBall23]

That white-haired ref loves blowing the whistle wellllllll after the actual foul.

 

[shrinkhawk]

Dix 'breaks the seal' lol

 

[ozzie8]

lol that is not a contested 3. It’s god awful D by sandfort

 

[bansheexyz]

Love the late whistle on that massive foul
Good lord.

 

[TheRealHerky]

They are getting so physical with Dix

 

[HawkBall23]

Of course. USC can't miss a GD thing.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Everything these guys are throwing up is going in.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

I feel like USC is on NBA JAM supermode

 

[DTP2]

Have we had more than five straight points?

 

[TheRealHerky]

I feel like USC is on NBA JAM supermode

Just like every road game Iowa plays.

 

[2D_]

Yeah, this game is over. These guys can't miss.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Dix is hittin'!

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Everything these guys are throwing up is going in.

Wide open threes and lightly contested points in the paint isn't exactly throwing it up....

 

[longliveCS40]

Dix is in and surging.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Sandy 3

 

[HawkBall23]

Wide open, buckets on USC 3s.

wash, rinse, repeat

 

[Jimmy McGill]

10 by 10 minute mark. do it.

 

[longliveCS40]

Brock is not playing well tonight.

 

[DTP2]

Make a play, make a dumber play.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Brock??? Whatcha doing there?

 

[HawkBall23]

Nothing like killing yourself when trying to make a comeback and lackadaisically lose control of trying to corral a pass with no real defense bothering you.

 

[bansheexyz]

Goddammit harding, paytons man came off to you. Wrong effin pass.

 

[MikeyHawk]

wonder why USC is making 3's, oh, they are wide open looks

 

[Mitch122]

Payton is killing us, ABSOLUTELY KILLING US, on defense. Horrible decisions when doubling. He just never learns.

 

[2D_]

No idea how Fran can operate a team with a defense like this.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Finally get a stop, then immediately turn the ball over.
