*******Minny vs Iowa Game Thread*******

[HawkBall23]

This team is effing broken.

They're just throwing shit at the rim - sometimes missing everything - and going through the motions.


Cmon Beth. This is torture.

Josh Dix going to touch the ball today? Or what’s the plan there?

[NevadaHawk]

Fran needs t recruit players who can make outside shots

 

[hawkirugged17]

Thelwell finds Payton in the lane for 2.

 

[Garzatough85]

Josh Dix going to touch the ball today? Or what’s the plan there?

Still not sure what his role is
Is he a 3 or a 4?
Most 3s or 4s I see have way more strength and way more interior presence to defend and rebound
As usual Frans pieces really don’t fit anything

 

[HawkBall23]

This isn't even entertaining enough to just have on for background noise.

 

[MikeyHawk]

Solid possession by Freeman

 

[hawkirugged17]

Easy layup miss by the Gophers.

 

[HawkBall23]

Minnesota must be pretty small too, cause how does Brickfort have 6 points - all in the paint.

 

[NevadaHawk]

How did Garcia miss that?

 

[hawkirugged17]

Dix misses the layup on the nice pass by Drew. And then the Gophers hit a 3 for a 6 point lead.

 

[HawkBall23]

Dix blows the bunny at the rim and a Minny 3.

classic

 

[kwik44]

Is it really that hard to play organized defense?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice blockout.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Another offensive rebound for 2 for Minny. Ugh.

 

[HawkBall23]

This is pathetic.

Minnesota is bad and Iowa can't even match their effort.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Nice turnover Sandy

 

[hawkirugged17]

Payton Sandfort with the block / good defense.

Another miss by Dix ...

 

[HawkBall23]

Turn out the lights on this season, the party's over.

 

[ozzie8]

Im out. Can’t watch this disgraceful basketball anymore under Fran

 

[Buffalo43]

Dix 2 missed layups

 

[longliveCS40]

It's great that Dix has stamina but I wish he would finish...

 

[Chishawk1425]

No one is there and that's the way it should be. Dix and Freeman are terrible tonight as well.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Fran finally took his hands out of his pockets to call a TO.

 

[skydog0784]

Wow, IA down by 9 against MN at home is really absurd.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Garcia 3 and the Gophers lead by 9 ...

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Lol just GTFO Fran - trash

 

[Buffalo43]

Owen is back to slow again

 

[MikeyHawk]

They look like they are not excited about playing anymore, Sandfort and Thelwell are the only ones giving effort

 

[Garzatough85]

Nice blockout.

Iowa weak side rebounding has been nonexistent since Fran arrived

 

[Garzatough85]

Owen is back to slow again

He and Pryce are really slow!

 

[skydog0784]

Fran finally took his hands out of his pockets to call a TO.

Fran with a little fire for the first time this season, hopefully lacing into the boys...

 

[amahawk]

The Hawkeyes just seem lackadaisical to me. Almost like they are just going through the motions.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Fran’s buyout is $4.5 million. Total doable.

 

[MikeyHawk]

Rebounding is 12-5 already

 

[HawkBall23]

What a waste of 1, 2 or 5 bucks for some of the people that went tonight.

 

[HawkBall23]

The Hawkeyes just seem lackadaisical to me. Almost like they are just going through the motions.

And very weak lackluster motions, at that.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Fran’s buyout is $4.5 million. Total doable.

 

[IllQChawk]

Iowa is not a man to man defensive team, Fran is trying to pigeon hole this team to do something they are terrible at. Fran is not trying to coach to win this game. Whatever the buyout is it will be worth it....
