*****Official IOWA at Rutgers Game Thread*****

Gesell completes the pass to Margaret mccaffrey

 

[TDJ7]

Pull your head out Gesell. My God.

 

[Mohawkeye]

WTF didn't Gessel shoot that layup?

 

[laidbackdude2011]

Who the heck was he throwing it to

 

[spiderland]

Well you know, anytime you play Rutgers, you better put up a lot of points if you expect to win...

 

[83Hawk]

Why didn't Gesell shoot that??

This is going to be a dogfight. Unless they start showing some fire they could lose this.

 

[QChawks]

Weak effort tonight.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Nice drive by Woody. He has finally figured out how to use the rim to protect his shot.

 

[Packer54]

Well....We have given them hope.

 

[And1Hawk]

Gessell having worst game of the year.... Cost us at least 5-6 possessions

 

[HawkLogic]

I'm expecting Uthoff to put up some numbers in the 2nd half. Also notice for Woody bashers that Iowa's initial run stopped when he went out with the 2 fouls. Despite what happened @Mackey, PD could be a tougher game than @MD.

Woody had absolutely nothing to do with Peter Jok going off for 1st 11 pts.

Weak effort tonight.

The effort is fine right now. Rutgers is just making shots. I don't expect that to continue.

 

[83Hawk]

Weak effort tonight.

Agree. Haven't seen defense this bad since the 13/14 season.

 

[BioHawk]

Iowa is going to have to score about 110 points tonight since they can't seem to be bothered to play defense.

 

[WildTurk]

Man there is a bunch of crybabies that post here. Grow up kids!

 

[QChawks]

Clemmons came to play at least.

 

[TDJ7]

Christian getting some run. I like it.

 

[QChawks]

Man there is a bunch of crybabies that post here. Grow up kids!

I'm 40!! I'm a man!!

 

[QChawks]

Too many damn layups!!!

 

[BubsFinn]

This game looks like the first practice after a holiday break. We’re shooting too many deep balls too early in the shot clock.

I was about to say the same thing.

 

[TDJ7]

Better effort in the 2nd half. Uthoff getting it going. Gesell.....who has looked horrible shooting the ball has 9 assists (I'll take that every night), Woody is owning the defensive boards. Hawks up 12.

 

[And1Hawk]

90% of their baskets are drives from the right... Make them go left!

This sums it up pretty well I'd say

 

[HawkLogic]

I guess Williams decided he better get his shots in before he got pulled.
The problem is the 0 for game guys right now. Baer, Williams, Gesell, Uhl.

 

[Mohawkeye]

I like Williams handles, he needs better patience.

 

[TDJ7]

Attendance over/under set at 18.5

 

[QChawks]

Hawks playing down to their opponent. It happens.

Get the W and get ready for Pur-do

 

[HawkLogic]

Maybe this is right lineup to play some defense.

 

[RocknRollface]

Woody had absolutely nothing to do with Peter Jok going off for 1st 11 pts.

And him being out had allot to do with all the easy buckets RU had inside.

 

[HawkLogic]

love this lineup on defense and it has fantastic 3pt shooting.

 

[HawkLogic]

And him being out had allot to do with all the easy buckets RU had inside.

You are reaching. Woody started game with TO when he fell down in post and missed a short shot...picked up two fouls which is not a good thing and went to bench. Woody did rebound and defend in 2nd half, his 1st half performance was not good

 

[QChawks]

Send it in big fella!!

 

[TDJ7]

Ahmad really needs to work on being more explosive

 

[QChawks]

Come on guys. Play smart.

Gheesh

 

[Mohawkeye]

Really Gessel?

 

[laidbackdude2011]

Wow MG can't buy a shot even when standing still

 

[83Hawk]

C'mon guys.....game ain't over yet.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Once again.... announcer says "not sure how Iowa will handle fatigue as season goes on.... with all the minutes Iowa starters play"

This is news to me that we are a thin team. We seem to go 10 deep on a consistent basis...

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Really Gessel?

Not sure what he is doing. Left his game in IC
