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

[hawkeye122671]

Our offense is awful

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

No matter the sport Iowa plays to their competition. It is frustratingly old.

 

[Merle_Dixon]

Ugly, so far

 

[takai]

Haha we suck.

 

[hawkeyemike23]

Time to unleash Flemming

 

[HawkLogic]

tired of not being able to rebound out of zone

 

[TDJ7]

whatever you do Fran don't call a timeout.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

Absolutely fn disgraceful performance

 

[kzoohawk80]

I hate the zone with this team. They play it so lazy.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

There is no way a bunch of seniors can allow a team to play like this at the end of their senior season.

 

[2432Hawk]

Play with some freaking passion. Disappointing effort thus far.

 

[crHawkeye92]

Yet you watch.

I think I just like torturing myself

 

[hawkeye122671]

Rebound the ****ing ball. Act like you want to be playing. Pretend this game matters. Show any kind of enthusiasm. This team clearly has packed it in for the year. It is sad.

 

[Nick Ma]

How many other top 25 teams start 3 people that can't score other than open layups? It's too easy to defend right now when Woody won't even look at the hoop and Gassell and Clemmons can't shoot.

 

[KeyWest Tim]

Looks to me like a team ready to go on Spring Break.

And not in Indianapolis.

 

[ukiddinme]

This is pitiful. But then again just like we've been playing for 6-8 wks.
Lame performance.

 

[OskaloosaHawk]

I wouldn't want to play Augustana right now, let alone an NCAA tournament team! This team will be done very quickly in the tournament!

 

[Carolina Hawk]

There is no way a bunch of seniors can allow a team to play like this at the end of their senior season.

You would think not... senior leadership seems pretty poor on this team..

 

[unoHawkeye]

I think Williams should go back in. He's provided a spark in previous games, and Clemmons isn't having a very good game.

Also, while Illinois hasn't been fantastic, their ball movement has been solid

 

[Merle_Dixon]

Early game yet, but we need to at least keep it close for 1st half.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

At least we will be well rested for the NCAA tournament

 

[PlazaHawkeye]

Still time to pull it together... what a crappy game thus far though.

 

[DrVenkman]

It is ok- Illinois was really coming on at the end of the year- we knew this would be tough one

 

[Err.]

Our zone defense is garbage. Throw it in the scrap heap and never use it again.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Is anyone going to play defense in the paint? Let's double and hedge then not rotate and leave guys open right underneath the basket.

 

[hexumhawk]

Nobody but JU can make a shot. Jok cant even get one off. Haven't seen us play this poor of defense in a while. Literally giving away points in the paint.

 

[HawkLogic]

Haha we suck.

Uthoff is a star, gesell can pass and nothing more, woody can rebound and make 50% of his layups. Jok is in funk. Clemons slumping

 

[hawkfan1963]

Play with some freaking passion. Disappointing effort thus far.

No hustle and not mentally tough..........again

 

[CAhawki]

Sleepwalking in all facets of the game. Offense is settling. Defense is porous

 

[Drmac22]

Nobody want to freaking shoot the damn ball. You have an opening your a Big ten player and have played ball your whole lives shoot when your open.. they are playing scared. NO confidence. Why does every team we play have some nobody that just goes off for 20?? crap.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

After going to the B1G championship FB game in Indy, I remember thinking how great it would be to go experience the basketball tournament for a few days. At this rate, glad I didn't spend the money and go.

 

[sdhawkeye]

How many other top 25 teams start 3 people that can't score other than open layups? It's too easy to defend right now when Woody won't even look at the hoop and Gassell and Clemmons can't shoot.

Um... we can't make open layups either (except Uthoff).

 

[BeepBeepInMyJeep]

Well, pick the one seeds and you're already 5/63rds of the way to perfect bracket.

 

[hawkeyemike23]

Not that upset that this is the last time Clemmons and Gesell will be our starting backcourt in a B10 game.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Great, now we get to focus on John Groce courtside antics

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

at least we know what version showed up

 

[Nick Ma]

Mike MUST be a threat to make that shot, just like that. Will open up a lot of other things.

 

[hawkfan1963]

No more Rose Bowls and no more Big Ten tournaments.

 

[HawkAttackDial911]

Iowa is the worst ranked team in the nation. All possible 11-13 seeds are licking their chops at the possibility of playing Iowa.

 

[markfromj]

This is pitiful. But then again just like we've been playing for 6-8 wks.
Lame performance.

Not 6 to 8. More like 4.

 

[crHawkeye92]

The bench was pumped after that stop on defense
