***** Official #10 Hawkeyes vs. #7 Bearcats Game Thread *****

[Ihawkhoops]

Fortunately Cincy can't throw it in the ocean from 3 or it would be worse. Iowa has to get pissed off and play as physical as they are. Hand check, grab, etc., make refs call it. The interior is basically a no foul zone it appears.

 

[unoHawkeye]

I'm great with confidence and aggressiveness but a step back contested 3 is a bad idea.

I didn’t think it was that contested. Maybe you’re right

 

[Hawksfor3]

When things go bad I just try to disconnect and think to myself, "We can't win it for them" and I feel better.

 

[justinjdry]

Everyone just remember that at the end of the day nobody expected the Hawkeyes to be playing in March.

 

[Franisdaman]

Chris Webber might only know 2 players names.

and he knows one state and one city, it appears

Its Cincy vs Ohio, baby!

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

and with 2 fouls, Cook won't be back in the game till the 2nd half

Not so fast my friend.

 

[HungryHawk]

I know we aren’t getting TOs with the press but I like that they are consistently working with a 20 second shot clock.

 

[HawkLogic]

Dailey with maybe the worst defense I've ever seen. Just "Ole" let him drive right on by.

Bohannon needs to start chucking threes.

Dailey was Ohio kid and no Cincinnati offer. Did have offer from Rutgers.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

3 offensive RB since Cook is back..

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Flop.

 

[RocknRollface]

For fvck sake Cook, fvcking rebound.

 

[83Hawk]

C’mon...block out!

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Moss way to be alert on the press

 

[iahawks10]

There are some strange foul calls already. No surprise

 

[biggreydogs]

Horrible call

 

[Nagarunja]

Cook is beyond worthless on defense with two fouls.

 

[HungryHawk]

Nice acting job as moss didn’t even extend

 

[Harbinger273]

Getting destroyed on the offensive glass. So many second chances already for Cincinnati.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Moss never extended his arm. At all.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Iowa needs to teach arm bar defense...

 

[ANYCHawk]

Cook did not want to rebound cause of the fouls

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Turn and freaking rebound Cook. Stand with your hands straight up....cripes

 

[Moral]

Cincy player clearly sniffing a fart after his travel.

 

[wolve1972]

Rebound the **** ball

Yep, seems to be the problem early. Would be right in the thick of it with just average rebounding

 

[CP84]

3 offensive RB since Cook is back..

I blame Garza. Worst rebounding center I've ever seen.

 

[IllQChawk]

Fran's motion offense is a wreck, can't be sustained for an entire season, the more teams see it, the less effective it becomes, it's the main reason that Iowa fades at the end of seasons...

 

[And1Hawk]

Cook has cost us at least 12 pts in this game

 

[RocknRollface]

3 straight offensive rebounds given up by Cook.

Get his weak ass off the floor.

 

[Mitch122]

Wow that is weak. Moss didn’t extend his off arm AT ALL

 

[longliveCS40]

Meh aggressiveness...Not not even mad. At least Moss isn't scared.

 

[justinjdry]

Getting destroyed on the offensive glass. So many second chances already for Cincinnati.

Apparently they are known for that skill.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

Ive been a Cook defender longer than most, but this is pathetic. Shot goes up he puts his hand up and the ball bounces right by him?

 

[Weiny44]

LOL Panic is the best offense right now.

 

[biggreydogs]

Iowa needs to teach arm bar defense...

Iowa needs to teach arm bar defense...

Let’s start with defense before we specialize

 

[Stormn Norman]

I’m starting to wonder if I enjoy the tournament more when Iowa is not in it! To much Stress when my heart gets involved and often broken

 

[83Hawk]

Garza!

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Moss! Wake up!!! Should’ve had 2 steals off the press

 

[CP84]

Get Moss out. Turnover machine.

 

[RocknRollface]

Cook has cost us at least 12 pts in this game

Moss is trying to catch up with him.

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Just a little D or Cincy cool off a bit and this game is actually winnable
