****Leathernecks vs Hawks Game Thread****

[SDHawkDoc]

they remain bad defensively. Poor rotations, not closing out on shooters, getting beat to the rim. same old, same old.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Starters are giving zero effort on either end. Get guys with something to prove in the game and let them go to work

 

[SotaHawk87]

Take every damn starter out

 

[HFan1981]

Watchin Joe W brings me no joy. I keep expecting him to do something and its just.. nothing.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

This is not a good rebounding group

 

[Chishawk1425]

Move your feet Weiskamp, goodness.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Big hit Joe!

 

[QChawks]

Weezy made a shot!

 

[Hawkfan_08]

No effort at all.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Pass the ball Garza.

 

[QChawks]

Then JW let’s a guy go right by him

 

[Hawksfor3]

We sure are funky tonight.

 

[cleotishaywood]

Are we just going to have to accept the fact that we will never be a good defensive team? OMG...
NO interior D

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Weezy made a shot!

And follows it up by allowing a layup on the other end

 

[HawkBall23]

WIU just throwing the ball around like their just messing around on the playground and Iowa isn't getting any takeaways because of lackadaisical D.

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

I've said it the last 3 years: My grandmother could score on this defense.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Sleep walking

 

[denmar81]

I can assure you this will go down as the worst post of the year. That being said the boys are playing like shit tonight

Haven’t seen any defense from Iowa in these 3 games. Getting blown out is a real possibility.

 

[QChawks]

I've said it the last 3 years: My grandmother could score on this defense.

yup.

my 9 year old could drop a few hoops too

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Are we just going to have to accept the fact that we will never be a good defensive team?

YES

 

[ThamesHawk]

If Garza alone brings us out of this second half slump I will be somewhat disappointed

 

[SotaHawk87]

Yup Joe T please. Transition

KInda hard to get motivated when you know your gonna win by 20

 

[kcgolfer]

This team’s defense is no where good enough to win anything. Coupled with poor shooting will get us beat against better teams. Despite being 3-0, I am really disappointed in our defense this year.

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

Joe T is a lil sneaky and I am here for it!

 

[Moral]

This lineup has way better energy.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Jack's back!

 

[MepoDawg#]

KInda hard to get motivated when you know your gonna win by 20

Except they should win by 50.

And isn't she in a wheelchair?

 

[KcTo]

Ok you supplied those stats but can you tell me how many layups jbo has allowed? Are you really playing that great if you have a bunch of assists and few turnovers but you have allowed the guy your covering to score more points then you have assisted on?

Agree, jobo, CJ haven’t shown much in the way of D...

 

[ThamesHawk]

The fact it's been as bad as it has against these soft non conf teams is all the more disheartening

 

[mjnem418]

Being completely outhustled.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I know we are all a little emotional during the games but this is really poor. I would really like to see the freshman take more minutes here.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Western Illinois better defensively at every spot except the post. Iowa guards look like they have never seen ball pressure. Touissant makes some mistakes but he is outscoring Jbo and hasn't given up 5 blow by layups. Quick guards and overplaying passing lanes will be the kryptonite for this team again. Great to see Jack get back on the court and make some shots. Can't imagine what he is going through.

 

[denmar81]

KInda hard to get motivated when you know your gonna win by 20

They should be motivated now. They look drastically overrated.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

strong finish by Toussaint

 

[ANYCHawk]

Except they should win by 50.

you know a lot of teams that win by 50?

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

I really like this lineup

 

[QChawks]

only way this team is going be top tier teams is shooting insane percentage from three or hoping other team is cold for 40 minutes

 

[SotaHawk87]

Good to see the starters on their feet on the bench for that and 1.. do love the cohesiveness
