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

[sadiehawkins]

What the hell. Whynot foul on that last play. The coaches and players got there head up their butt. Our player of the yr. so far sucks. No defense or rebounding. Maybe we need to set three starters. Woodbury and jok are the only ones giving any effort. Gesell is becoming a liability.

 

[QChawks]

We've dogged s bad a loss all year, unless something drastic changes that will end tonight.

Our D is just soooo bad lately.

 

[Shafthawk]

MG just needs to quit listening to the idiots on this board, and play his game.

What people have been criticizing him for, is exactly what this team needs him to do. Penetrate, break the D down with the drive, and get better looks for his teammates.

How's it working with Uthoff and Jok trying to create their own stuff, not so good is it?

Our opponents are getting great looks with their players doing what some of the clowns on this board have given MG hell for. Nothing is going to change until MG gets aggressive again.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

That was a painfully bad 20 minutes of.....can you call it basketball?

 

[laidbackdude2011]

Thankfully we already played MSU. Valentine shook the dust off. He would drill is now.

 

[QChawks]

Iowa fails to get a bucket in the final 7:35 of the first half.

Against PSU that is just horrendous.

 

[hawkeye122671]

We are playing 4 on 5 on offense. They hardly even guard MG anymore. We took PSU's best shot. We need some consistent play on defense.

Are you high? he has no points and no assists at half and it's MESSAGE BOARD POSTERS FAULT.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Well, that was a lackluster 20 minutes.
Looks like may have the answer to the question " Is this team slumping? "

Yawn. MG needs to be a threat, which he is not, which means 4 doing the work of 5 on offensive end.

 

[skydog0784]

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.

Why don't you whineasses go to bed!

Better sharpen those reading skills RussA. Not sure how objective observations would be considered whining.

In fact the PSU turnover observation was just re-iterated by Shon Morris.

And by the way, I think IA will win this one but are in danger. They played poorly in the first half.

I thought droughts like that were a thing of the past, glad to see our old friend make an appearance when we could least afford to see him.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

If PSU wins, I wonder if all 500 fans will rush the court?

 

[hawkeye122671]

Better wake the f up.

 

[RocknRollface]

Sometimes Fran can be maddeningly stubborn.

He's enamored with the theoretical advantage of switching up defenses and continues to try it even though it's actually become a disadvantage.

GET OUT OF THE DAMN ZONE.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Woody has really struggled the last two games and it's cost Iowa

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Penn State and their three point shooting tonight....ridiculous

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

PSU 9/17 from three so far

 

[fecal particulate]

Garner and Taylor have shot 32% and 34% this year from 3 respectively. They are a combined 7-10.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Now the hand checks are being called on Iowa....this is a joke

 

[TheRealHerky]

The worst officials in the country never disappoint.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Penn State is obviously feeling it, everybody wanting to crank up NBA range threes. Hopefully they cool down and it works to Iowa's advantage here.

 

[kzoohawk80]

3 very weak fouls against Iowa to start the 2nd half.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Donovan Jack dominating Woody.....

 

[spiderland]

JFC, Penn State players allowed to climb all over Hawkeyes at both ends. What a joke...

 

[BubsFinn]

I still have no idea what is and what is not a foul in college basketball.

 

[hawkeye ball]

Jok carrying this team past few games...

 

[WORTHYWISH]

Woody got flat out mugged on that rebound. Wow!

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

I still have no idea what is and what is not a foul in college basketball.

Nobody does. Even the officials

 

[MWardT]

Well, when you're the #4 team in the country you better expect to get every opponents best shot, and Penn State is giving Iowa all they've got.

 

[QChawks]

Woody sucks again

Offense has no flow

Just not playing well. It's too bad too but it's all there for the taking.

 

[skydog0784]

Okay, down to 4 point, 2 possession game. We've been taking PSU's best shot so far aside from their TO's

 

[QChawks]

Penn State has 48 points with 15:13 left; scored 49 total in Iowa City on 2/3.

 

[BubsFinn]

What is that idiot saying?

 

[SDHawkDoc]

See if they can turn this turd into a scratched out win.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa can't afford to lose this game if we want a B1G title. I don't see a realistic path to one if they drop it.

 

[RocknRollface]

Bingo, right off the bat. Zone gives up a wide open three look then an offensive rebound .

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I've never seen a PG as bad at FT shooting as Gesell....

 

[SDHawkDoc]

And another clunker on the front end from MG at the line.

 

[BubsFinn]

That's our ball
