******Northwestern at IOWA Game Thread******

[tippet1]

Lack of a crowd is killing them tonight. They need the energy of the crowd to keep things going for them.

 

[skydog0784]

I only caught part of the first half but it seems that Harding and Thelwell in the backcourt with Dix, Payton, Owen was effective. Need to get the dual PG back in maybe

 

[HawkBall23]

I gave up on Fran’s teams being fundamentally sound and mentally/physically tough a decade ago

Oh me too, I just stupidly complain about stuff I know won't change.

See it all the time, but still grates.

 

[Moral]

And make a layup! It's like watching Angel Reese out there.

The way she does layups and rebounds like a volleyball set drill is truly glorious.

 

[Hawksfor3]

NW leads Iowa in offensive rebounds 10-3 and second chance points 12-3. Yikes.

 

[Franisdaman]

Dix has deflated

saw him popping Viagara at half time

takes a few to kick in

 

[Hawkfan_08]

3 offensive rebound. 3 bricks.

 

[littlez]

Rinse and repeat. Same old same old. @AmericaNeedsMe was correct in the preseason. I thought the trio of Freeman, Dix and Sandfort would take the next step and the addition of Traore and Thelwell would make us better. Sandfort stinks on D, bad coaching and it’s just hard to watch.

 

[MikeyHawk]

dumb shot by Sandfort

 

[Moral]

Did they switch to that damned Wilson ball at halftime?

 

[HawkBall23]

Sandfort is killing his team.

Forcing all this shit and its just Clank City.

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

****ing Payton never sets up properly

 

[ozzie8]

Dembele with the offensive board and doesn’t even look at the rim

 

[Hawkfan_08]

FLOP. My gosh.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Never seen a team miss so many shots at home. It’s like Iowa is the away team and NW is the home team.

 

[Sett1997]

Lack of a crowd is killing them tonight. They need the energy of the crowd to keep things going for them.

That's a really lame excuse.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Freeman has to rebound

Only 2.

 

[MikeyHawk]

Lack of a crowd is killing them tonight. They need the energy of the crowd to keep things going for them.

yeah, not a lot of support for basketball at this point

 

[TheRealHerky]

Going to be a long, cold, disappointing winter.

Same old shit. No real PG, no real C.

 

[DewHawk]

Now throwing up bricks. Iowa is always mentally soft with McCaffery.

 

[Buffalo43]

Why the F is freeman out!

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Nothing to look at here. What a damn flop

 

[Franisdaman]

NW leads Iowa in offensive rebounds 10-3 and second chance points 12-3. Yikes.

thats pathetic

 

[IaHawks03]

Flop of the year

 

[HawkBall23]

What a ****ing faker.

Nicholson was fine and was getting up but someone on his bench must have told him to flop back down like he was hurt.


And here I thought Collins was above board.

 

[HawkRose]

F1 got to be kidding

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

Jesus Harding, you’re trying to shoot over a guy a foot taller. Just no basketball IQ

 

[Hawkfan_08]

What? A dude who is 7'2" flops and now we will be down by probably 6.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

This program is sooooo stale with Fran.

You are seeing why Carver isn't full.

 

[DTP2]

That's absurd.

 

[Mitch122]

Weakest flagrant foul that has ever been called. Ever.

 

[IaHawks03]

What a bullshit call

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

That was a flop, but the call is correct. Make a play on the ball instead of just hugging the guy

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Jesus Harding, you’re trying to shoot over a guy a foot taller. Just no basketball IQ

I don't care. He at least gets to the basket. Either he misses or his teammate does.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Karma

 

[HawkBall23]

bull****ingshit

Freeman is murdered all game long, every game, and they award that floppity flopping faker.

 

[Moral]

Sandfert from 3.

 

[Hawksfor3]

thats pathetic

Can't remember who, but Bobby or Dolph said early in the first half how all 5 Hawks boxed out together. What a difference.

 

[HawkRose]

Dembele out please

 

[HawkBall23]

Dembele is a huge net negative this year.
