*****OFFICIAL IOWA is going to WIN at Maryland Game Thread*****

[Franisdaman]

Trying everything right now for a win!

Iowa is a 7.5 pt underdog.

O/U Is 150; so i guess Vegas is thinking a 79-71 type game, with Maryland coming out on top.

ESPN gives Maryland an 81% chance of winning today. Check it out here: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game?gameId=400986495

Screw them!

GO HAWKS!!

Iowa is only 4 games out of first place and just 2 games out of 5th place.

Today is our day!

I think we are actually 8.5 point dogs but it matters not. We really need to win a game and it might as well be tonight. Maryland is not all that.

Maryland wins by 19

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

I think the play here is Maryland hopefully feeling better about themselves than they deserve to, and will come in overconfident. Combine that with a randomly hot shooting night for the Hawks could equal a steal on the road.

Sigh...I know. And to think that early last month we were only 1 game out of 1st place.
Actually, I agree the Twerps may not be all that much. I think this may be as good a chance we get at an upset win on the road.

Please Kevin, don’t Huerter

 

[Franisdaman]

Maryland wins by 19

boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Crazy Hawk]

I took the over on this. So that means both teams will shoot terrible.

 

[CanadaHawk]

Attrition at guard has emphasized weaknesses there. At some point this year, Dailey is going to attain consistency in his strengths and Moss will finally take a step forward. Iowa then becomes tougher to play. Will that happen @MD?

 

[QChawks]

Terps by a million

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Keep predicting a win. You're bound to be right at least once before the season is over.

Keep predicting a win. You're bound to be right at least once before the season is over.

We can only hope. I did some google research and Northwestern went two seasons without a Big 10 win. And more recently there’s Rutgers.
I think we need joey king from Minnesota to come give a motivational speech.

 

[Franisdaman]

Terps by a million

So, you are predicting a rout?

 

[ScoutRefugee]

I'll take any win we can get at this point. A road W @ Maryland would be huge.

 

[DewHawk]

I am afraid Hawks lose by 15 to 20 points.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Trying everything I can. Watch on FS1, audio with Bobby and Dolph, HR thread, and my Kenny Arnold tee.

Should our players start wearing nut cups? Maybe that would make a difference!

An impassioned Garza, after OSU loss: "I know these guys in the locker room. I've been around them a while. None of these dudes are losers or anything like that. We're a team that plays hard and we can do this."

Watching Saints/Panthers. Hope Carolina wins for my son, a die-hard Panther fan.

Tyler Cook is averaging 22 points and 6.7 rebounds over the last three games. Cook ranks fourth in Big Ten scoring (20.3) and sixth in rebounding (8.5)

 

[24 so far]

I'm just hoping my eyeballs aren't burning by halftime. Tough to do with Fran's current bunch.

Luka Garza has made 31 of his last 40 free throws (.775) after starting the season 16-of-39 (.410).

He has shot 50% or better from the field in eight of the last 10 games. #Hawkeyes

 

[VicHawkeye]

The old reverse lock. Go Hawks!

Take a look at high close the seating is around the court especially the ends where their students sit. Now compare it to CHA where you can park several motor homes behind each basket

"Hey Fran, would you read the first draft of my movie script? It's kind of like ET meets the A-Team mixed with some When Harry Met Sally. My wife thinks it's pretty solid."

During the broadcast, I am going to say with sincerity that "When I think of Iowa, I think of rebounding and defensive intensity unmatched not only in the Big 10 but across the entire country. My goal is to make Twitter explode. What do you think?"
