*****Minnesota vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[QChawks]

2pm BTN
Iowa -6.5
O/U 154.5

Minnesota (15-7, 6-5) have won three straight (@PSU, NW, MSU) while the Hawkeyes (13-10, 5-7) are scuffling losing 2 of last 3.

Statistically Iowa is better in every area but 3PT shooting and defense (shocker).

I predicted a Hawkeye victory weeks ago so I guess I’ll stick with it, although it wouldn’t shock me one bit for them to lose. I’ll say 83-77 hawks.

I would be surprised if butts in seats attendance is over 5k today.

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

Minny on a heater..Cam Christie in a groove. Garcia is tough

We need fans to inspire the guys today. C'mon Hawkeyes!

MarkJ can tell us it is not a must win game.

If you are okay with a below average B1G B-ball team, this is NOT a must win game.

Hopefully home cooking or Fran coaching up Freeman on not picking up cheap fouls/protecting him with post help can keep him out of foul trouble.

Garcia put up 31 at Minnesota---get that defense shored up with more Freeman on floor, rebound better, don't absolutely brick it from 3, and don't let Minnesota go off from 3, and it is easy victory.

More likely a tossup.

So far this season, just 6,390 tickets have been scanned on average at Friday/Saturday/Sunday games (43% of Carver-Hawkeye Arena’s 14,998 capacity).

That is an Im- @Moral number.

No one wants to chance missing Taylor Swift appearances and Usher. I get it.

I wish that in todays game, Moline's Brock Harding is matched up with Minnesota's Elijah Hawkins and plays extended minutes. What better game to see that Brock can indeed play defense. Go Brock!

It’s really odd that the JV game is following the varsity game today 😎

 

[QChawks]

Oh great now I gotta watch the men’s team get destroyed by Minnesota

 

[TRHawkeye145]

At least the men look good so far today....

This. I feel disappointed enough after the women choked away a win, now I feel as if I am going to be disappointed again. A very lackluster start by the men.

8-0 Minny run. Gophers lead 10-4 under 16:00 timeout.

 

[MikeyHawk]

Freeman benched because?

 

[HawkLogic]

Payton seems to have a couple overly aggressive/dumb turnovers trying to push the ball every game.

Four forward lineup was so successful vs Penn State we get to see it again.

Need to get PMAC into the game.

 

[MikeyHawk]
