*****Northwestern vs Iowa Game Thread*****

7pm BTN

Northwestern (7-11, 0-7) comes to town losers of 6 straight, it would have been 8 but their games @USC and @UCLA were postponed.

Iowa (13-7, 3-6) is coming off their best game in weeks. Barring an absolute disaster should win this one easily.

80-57 hawks

 

[General Tso]

About as much of a must win in the history of must wins

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

 

[DewHawk]

W if the right team shows up again (fast paced) IMO.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[citizenHawk]

Just keep screening for shots, dribbling to the lane, and making free throws. Good things will happen.

[QChawks]

good crowd

 

[longliveCS40]

Northwestern's coach looks like he could croak any minute. Yikes.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Take care of business Hawks

[BubsFinn]

 

[longliveCS40]

Defense awful
Turnovers awful

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

There's a word for this kind of basketball.

Bad.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Hawks looking like a bad middle school team

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

University of Iowa basketball is............bad.

 

[citizenHawk]

Back to BAU.

 

[QChawks]

This is why the Iowa women will be sitting at home in March

 

[BubsFinn]

Can't shoot
Can't pass
Can't rebound
Can't make free throws
Can't stop the drive
Can't stop the three pointers
Can't stop the midrange

I like our chances.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Amember when people used to claim that women were better free throws shooters?

 

[QChawks]

Feel like I’m watching a Iowa men’s game

Our basketball programs are junk

Compared to the Iowa men, it's close.

 

[DewHawk]

Aog moves like a sloth and has zero athletic ability IMO. As long as she has significant floor time Iowa will struggle. HS cannot shoot for s***. And the half-court offense is terrible. Other than that great team. This team needs a culture change it is not a sorority.

I’ve missed the last few Games, but this is just what this team is. Highly streaky, very careless. Sometimes make FTs sometimes not 🤷‍♂️

 

[MikeyHawk]

Why do they force the ball inside so much?

 

[Sett1997]

Feel like I’m watching a Iowa men’s game

Our basketball programs are junk

I'll give the women a year or two to rebuild.
No excuse for Fran at this point.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Looking better now

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

If only there was a time-honored mechanism in team sports to remedy those things. A 'hierarchy' of experts in authority roles if you will. Oh well....someday someone will figure it out.

 

[longliveCS40]

Giving up 23 points in a quarter to Northwestern is big yikes.
