*****Official IOWA at Indiana Game Thread*****

[Premium Scent]

Well this is it men. We've finally made it to the game we've had circled for quite some time now. I maybe got 3 hours of sleep last night, and now I gotta wait until 8pm for tip-off. Brute. Last night I had dreams of Uboat going off for 25, A-Wow throwing it down on several occasions, Gesell with no look passes to Petey while he you hear nothing but net as he drains 3 after 3, and the chant of "Let's Go HAWKS" from the HAWKEYE faithful that made the trip. Goosebumps. Anyways let's get down to the meat and potatoes of the game.

Keys to the game:
-Fast start to take the hoosier faithful out of it or at least just hang around until the first timeout on the floor
-Ad daddy/A-wow is the X factor as always. Need his rebounds and a few key baskets.
-Money Mikes confidence continues to grow and I luv the fight in this kid
-Only one 3 from Baer Trap, maybe even 1 from BE
-Need to get out in transition and make easy buckets
-Uboat just needs to continue to Uboat

Usually I'm scared at any road game, but Indiana is a paper tiger and the HAWKS are the #1 team in the country so I don't think this will be as close as some think. HAWKS ROLL IMO.

Look for Uthoff and Jok to finally get some open 3's, they have to make them tonite.

You guys already in your seats?????

Sure would be nice if people were respectful and use player names or initials instead of this garbage references

 

[partyhawk22]

IND -3.5

Why so much movement today?

 

[WAHawkeye]

Teams relatively even (perhaps a slight edge to Indiana) on the offensive end of the court. Will come down to defense (limiting easy baskets, especially in transition) and turnovers. No silly fouls, keep the starters on the floor as much as possible.

And Indiana turns the ball over a bunch. Points off turnovers will be huge.

Oh the gall of these young whipper snappers and their disrespectful nicknames.

 

[Gridiron24]

Been looking forward to this game since we played Maryland. Should be a good one!

Iowa by 4

Little Tommy Basketball is coaching to save his B10 lifestyle. Hoosiers by 5.

 

[Herkuleez]

Hawkeyes vs the world tonight....no one outside Iowa fans want us to win, or expect us to.

Hoosiers come out hot with Yogi and gang hitting all their threes...I'll say Iowa down 13 at halftime.

However, we weather the storm, find our legs and grind back to take the lead late...then hold on...

Iowa 84
IU 81

Dick V in the house

 

[MarionHawk]

I think we give up too many 3's and the Hoosiers take this one, 88-81.

 

[SDHN2013]

If we want to be a top 5 team or deserve a 1 seed we need to win games like this.

[DanL53]

I've no idea what is about to happen. But I know if we win we are in a great spot to be with 2/3rds of the Big Ten regular season over!!! Go Hawkeyes!!!!

 

[youflog1hawk]

Per Fran, Sap not guarding Yogi but 6'7" Williams

Interesting

 

[Chewback]

Well at least we don't really have to worry about OT in the FSU-Syracuse game.

 

[CanadaHawk]

Per Fran, Sap not guarding Yogi but 6'7" Williams

Seriously?

 

[kzoohawk80]

Let's get a W and give us a little bit of breathing room in the race for the Big Ten title. Go Hawks!

 

[TDJ7]

Someone tell Florida St they are down 40 with a minute left.

 

[ChiHawk1985]

Love hearing all the love for the Hawkeyes and Jok during this FSU game. So weird hearing analysts talk about us nearly ever show

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

"statement game for Indiana", that will be ESPN's talking line for the night

 

[skydog0784]

I'm strangely confident about winning this game. IA will win this game. Let's go Hawks!

 

[TDJ7]

God I hate the entire State of Indiana and everything that has ever come out of it except Larry Bird.

 

[HawkLogic]

I'm feeling a little nervous. Let's go hawks.

 

[ANYCHawk]

You know I love how people play up the Indiana home court aspect (not saying it's an easy win) but MSU, Maryland, Iowa State are usually on our schedule and many of these guys have NCAA tournament wins, a win at UNC and others under their belt. I don't think they will be intimated.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Looks like physical play is going to be allowed and Indiana is going to shoot A LOT of threes

 

[TDJ7]

Congrats to Mike for 1000pts

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Woody getting dominated by Thomas Bryant

 

[ihawk in FWB]

Here we go!

 

[Carlton]

If by chance you hear what sounds like a barking dog when the Hawks are at the free throw line, don't bother to adjust you television....it is probably coming from the Hoosier bench.
Go Hawks!

 

[HawkLogic]

uthoff with some uncharacteristic Not even close shots.

 

[skydog0784]

A little sloppy. That second foul on Bryant is huge.

 

[kzoohawk80]

Byrant with a foul in the first 30 seconds and no one on our team thinks of maybe getting the ball to Woody in the post. If we continue to give them second chance it's going to be a long night.

Or the Hooiser co-eds.

 

[HawkLogic]

Woody getting dominated by Thomas Bryant

Bryant shoots 70%...he gets the ball down low, he will score. Woody doing well on boards and staying out of foul trouble.

So far Jok and Uthoff have not shown up

 

[hawkeye ball]

Little edge to Indiana early on. Just need to settle in, get it going.
