*****Official IOWA at Pennsylvania State Game Thread*****

Penn State is absolute garbage

This is the B1G tournament part two

Both teams getting a warning for "extracurricular activity", I've seen more antics from Penn State than Iowa. I bet Iowa will be the one to get T'd up when it's all said and done.
 
This will be an embarrassing loss but not all that shocking as this has been a BAD team lately...and nothing has changed tonight...this the begging of the end or will this team wake back up again.
 
We did foul on that last play. Refs decided not to cal it. Essentially have PSU a soccer style advantage call
 
Not good half at all.

Thank god for PSU turnovers or IA would be getting blown away.

Uthoff needs to pull it together for the second half. Jok carrying the Hawks so far.
 
Do teams have the Hawks figured out? Honestly probably a 20-25 ranked team. Struggling late in the season with a veteran group….Rough road ahead too.
 
AHHHHH!!!! The sky is fallingggg!!!!! We will never win again!!!!! (That about right for the doomsdayers?)
 
Clemmons and Gessell both point to Garner on the last play and neither player guards him. Defense is embarrassing. The zone isn't working at all. Guys play too lazy in it.
 
I've never understood playing a 2 3 zone against a team that relies on three pointers. I can understand when you're going up against a post player like Hammons but Penn State does not have that.
 
Well at least there is nobody there to see this first half.

Wouldnt even call the foul on the drive.

If they keep making 3's and we keep making mistakes it will be a long ride back home tonite.
 
The defensive intensity isn't there. PSU was on fire but they aren't uncomfortable at all. Just zero intensity

You are probably right. Foul any harder and we'll get the intentional call like Jok got. Still sad that they didn't foul sooner. Will we see man d in second half? Is Fran baiting them?

Agreed, Uthoff needs to get untracked. Woodbury needs to cover the post better. Good half time azz chewing maybe they'll come out 2nd half and play like they should.

MG has been absolutely awful tonight. Clemons not much better. By my count, they have both missed 2 lay ups. Uhl has given them nothing. Probably not going to end well for the Hawks tonight.

I thought Gesell or somebody grabbed the driver on that play and it should have been called a foul. These refs apparently know more than everyone else though.
 
FRAN GET THE EFF OUT OF THE ZONE, teams have figured out how to beat us in the zone, the overload one side, swing it fast to the other side and boom wide open 3. The zone has given up 5 WIDE open 3's and multiple easy looks inside. If you want to go zone at least go to a 3-2 zone to protect the 3. Woody and Uthoff can cover the paint just fine. On offense everyone has gone timid and is scared to shoot and when they do they are short arming it.
 
No way PSU shoots as well second half or uthoff and the Hawks shoot as bad as we did in the first.

We're fine and I still expect to walk out with a win but not sure what happened to the Iowa team who were world beaters a month ago. We've turned in to the pass around the perimeter and shoot a three late team of years past.
 
Hey Fran the 2-3 zone is not working try something else.

Exactly, the main reason this one is close is because of the stupid zone.

A, they are geting good looks out of it and b we can't rebound.

Scrap that sh!t and play real defense.
