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

[DewHawk]

never in position on defense and then run at a wide open guy. Great defensive strategy by McCaffery.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Absolutely no defense from beyond the arc. Sad

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

Brock??? Whatcha doing there?

Every pass with him has to look good and be harder than it needs to be.

 

[HawkBall23]

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

Hope and pray your team can't miss on offense.

Welcome! You must be new here. 😜

 

[fecal particulate]

Wide open, buckets on USC 3s.

wash, rinse, repeat

Sandfort sags and gives up a wide open 3. That strategy ain't working.

 

[longliveCS40]

Brock is too little to defend their guards.

 

[Hawksfor3]

End to end and finish the layup. Pitiful.

 

[2D_]

Welcome! You must be new here. 😜

Nope, just have to say it out loud every now and again.

 

[HawkBall23]

I'll take the free points, but would be pissed if called on Iowa.

 

[HawkBall23]

"Quick-trigger Dix."

She HATES that!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice effort Owen.

 

[longliveCS40]

We would be really screwed if not for Freeman.

 

[NI hawk]

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

Beat me to it.

 

[MikeyHawk]

harding cannot guard anyone

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Harding....massive liability tonight.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Freeman 9/10 made F/Gs

 

[HawkBall23]

Wanna shut Iowa's offense down?

Get 'em in your house.

 

[HawkBall23]

That Agee is just a bull in a china shop and Little Dick Scirotto just loves it.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

10 within 10

 

[BlIIlken2]

it’s miserable to watch knowing there won’t be any spots. Defense is atrocious per usual

 

[IChawkeye45]

Anybody know when Iowa plays tonight? 🤔

 

[longliveCS40]

Iowa is hanging around at least.

 

[HawkBall23]

Down 12 with 12 left.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Freeman 9/10 made F/Gs

Just.......Wow!

 

[NevadaHawk]

Dix and one

 

[Jimmy McGill]

GD Sandy. Stupid foul. I swear he has donkey brains sometimes

 

[HawkBall23]

Sandfort is a HUGE liability on defense most possessions.

Did have that great steal on the previous one, but such a weak stupid foul on this one.

 

[Mitch122]

Traore comes in for 1 minute… He’s transferring at year end, no doubt.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

We watch back downs like it’s our job.

 

[fecal particulate]

harding cannot guard anyone

He's a starter and 26 mpg player but every reasonable person knew this was going to happen in the B1G.

 

[bansheexyz]

God we suck at help defense. Stop letting them iso for layups.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

He's a starter and 26 mpg player but every reasonable person knew this was going to happen in the B1G.

This is a non issue on a team that plays defense.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Perfect time to use our 2/3 full court trap zone. Mess with their heads


EDIT

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Brock is too little to defend their guards.

Yep. He's been able to hang in with other Big Ten guards but tonight he's having a real problem.

 

[Franisdaman]

USC shooting 69 from three (9-13).

nice.

not.

 

[DewHawk]

Iowa BBall is unlikely to improve under the genius of McCaffery. Then posters ask why nobody goes to their games. Are those McCaffery fans watching tonight?

 

[BirdistheWord]

I feel like USC is on NBA JAM supermode

HE’S ON FIRE!

 

[HawkBall23]

Harding....massive liability tonight.

USC's guard length makes him that liability.

 

[IllQChawk]

Brock is too little to defend their guards.

Everyone of our players except Owen are too small, whether by height or weight and our wing forwards are too slow and continue to ball watch....
