********Official Illinois vs. Iowa Game Thread********

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I'm hoping this is lull before Iowa storms back. Does seem like similar start to past B1G 1st game exits

Iowa has lost three straight B1G tournament games, I think it's all been to double digit seeds.

You guys know how basketball works? There's no help defense rotating over when Woody hedges, not his fault

Being slow is not his fault but using woody to hedge so much might be Fran's fault. Wanger in

 

[TDJ7]

Jesus Clemmons go to the damn hoop

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Why is AC shooting so much? he needs to stop

 

[hawkeye122671]

How the **** does Clemmons consistently miss wide open shots by so much

Michigan St three years ago was definitely not a double digit seed.

Fran needs to stop with the over-hedging on the ball screens. There is a reason whomever Woody is guarding is setting that screen. He can't get back to the lane in time, causing the need for help, leading to open 3s.

 

[Ree4]

Fast paced game so far

 

[HawkLogic]

no one helps baer

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Baer should've just plowed into Finke, he was inside the protected zone

 

[takai]

5 Hakweyes, 1 Illini. Illini still get the rebound. That tells you a lot.

 

[crHawkeye92]

no one helps baer

That was Baer's fault for not passing it to wagner when he was on the ground

 

[HawkLogic]

Uthoff deserves more help than this.

woody has become too complacent on the hedge. he goes too high too quick. the times he got burnt diving back to his man, he didn't have his hands up. cheating too much and lazy on recovery is a bad combo agains pick and roll.

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Hey, considering we're playing 1 against 5, it's not going too badly.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Uthoff made the trip. Doesn't look like anyone else did

 

[HawkLogic]

That was Baer's fault for not passing it to wagner when he was on the ground

I think good chance it would have been stolen, no one came back to Baer.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Just some jitters. Illinois has already played a game. I'm confident that the Hawks will calm down and start playing better basketball.

 

[markfromj]

Michigan St three years ago was definitely not a double digit seed.

Yes. And if the earlier post meant three straight first games, that is wrong.

 

[HawkLogic]

clemmons, jok, gesell can't buy a basket

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Here we go again

 

[mdharmon74]

We f.... Suck

 

[TDJ7]

Clemmons, Williams, Baer, Woody on the floor. who the hell is gonna score?

 

[Carolina Hawk]

AC ugh.....

 

[HawkLogic]

clemmon's must be 0-6

 

[hawkeye122671]

Please stop shooting Clemmons. God dammit. 0- ****ing 6 now. Stop shooting

 

[crHawkeye92]

This is so pathetic... i'm so sick of this team getting my hopes and just sucking ass

 

[Bulldogs1974]

bench all the seniors except uthoff for awhile

 

[kzoohawk80]

Clemmons can't buy a bucket.

 

[cg8284]

Now I see why they have to play so much zone. With Woodbury on the floor they have no prayer against a pick a roll.

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

God this is boring basketball. Illannoy isn't even playing well. Both teams just look flat out bad.

 

[hawkeye122671]

Take Clemmons out.

 

[2432Hawk]

Can they perform surgery at halftime to remove Clemmons head from his ass?

 

[markfromj]

This is so pathetic... i'm so sick of this team getting my hopes and just sucking ass

Yet you watch.

 

[HawkLogic]

Clemmons, Williams, Baer, Woody on the floor. who the hell is gonna score?

Woody layup and Uthoff are only ones that have scored

 

[Bulldogs1974]

what ever happened to our press?

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

Wisconsin wins National Championship this year if Uthoff stays.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I guess I really shouldn't be surprised by this, but it gets old seeing Iowa dominated by underwhelming talent like Morgan and Finke.

 

[DrVenkman]

Uthoff will have to score 75 today

 

[ukiddinme]

Gotta shoot to score. Truth is we're just not a very good team.
