*****Official Iowa @ Rutgers game thread*****

[HawkLogic]

Nunge's bad defense is resulting in too many 3's for them. Put Keegan in.

Nunge is blocking shots. Problem is you have to zone with both him and Garza and Rutgers
can get easy 3pt looks vs zone. Harper was bound to start going off. Garza would normally be going off but he's getting double or triple teamed and nobody else except Jbo can hit open shots.

 

[markfromj]

CJ had a 3 I think.

 

[wilson reborn]

I like MrsScrew but I’m glad she hasn’t been on this thread. God knows what could be said in the heat of battle.

 

[Robster Raws]

Huge minutes by Nunge, Ulis, Perkins. JBo couple big shots. Garza good.

We’re getting absolutely murdered in our zone. Wiiiide open step into threes.

JFC.

Nunge has 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Hawks lucky to be tied. Very sloppy play in the first half. I look for them to get things going after the break.

Yup. 3 blocks and a steal in the first half. Guy sucks.

 

[ELCHawk]

I still think Murray needs to see some more playing time.

 

[HawksRMe]

Anyone that thinks Nunge sucked in the first doesn't follow basketball.

 

[Harbinger273]

need to adjust something they are to open on their 3s

You mean put in some defensive effort to rotate and close out the shooter with a hand up? Have some awareness of the offenses spacing.

 

[iahawks10]

Both teams will be in the bonus within ten minutes now.

Yep. Theyll call every touch foul now after letting a football game be played in the paint in the first half. So frustrating.

 

[HawkLogic]

Where is Joe T in all this? Still not 100% from the last game? Ulis is doing ok but getting a lot more minutes than I'd expect.

I like JoeT, I know JoeT, but that was not a good JoeT.

 

[Harbinger273]

CMac out for the game.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Rutgers got off 39 shots to Iowa's 29. That can't happen in the 2nd half if Iowa is going to pull this off.

 

[wilson reborn]

Wieskamp with 2 points on 2 shots and 0/2 from the line is inexcusable. At least Fredrick is shooting and missing

Expect CJ to turn it up in the second half, not so sure about Joe W.

 

[drh1150]

Murray has 2 PF's.

 

[83Hawk]

Yup. 3 blocks and a steal in the first half. Guy sucks.

I don’t get the hate for Nunge. Always hustles and is good at getting rebounds and playing defense. Really the only knock against him is his 3 point shooting.

 

[HawkRugged17]

neither does your wife after we have sex

 

[unoHawkeye]

Expect CJ to turn it up in the second half, not so sure about Joe W.

Then as far as I’m concerned, roll with an undersized Ulis, Bohannon, Fredrick backcourt

 

[DougFHawkeye]

I still think Murray needs to see some more playing time.

Probably would have seen more if he hadn't gotten his 2nd foul.

 

[fecal particulate]

Well, that's because his wife is dead so it's understandable.

 

[HawkLogic]

Nunge has 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Edit: Sorry, did not see the tweet above.

He is good against drive because he contests shots, but perimeter defense in the zone not so good. Keegan plays better overall defense.

Still in the game playing two Freshmen big minutes. Fredrick or JoeW need to step up in 2nd half and Garza needs to outscore Harper in 2nd half.

 

[BBHawk]

So you're saying that he married your sister?

😉

Well, guess we are about to find out how important Connor is out there

 

[iahawks10]

Yup. 3 blocks and a steal in the first half. Guy sucks.

They didn’t even credit him with the block (that should have been called a foul). If it’s not a foul, it has to be a block, I’d think.

Say what you want about him, but nobody feeds Garza and the post better than Connor.

 

[SotaHawk87]

10 more shots for Rutgers in the first half. Limit that and I think we can get a W

 

[iahawks10]

Rutgers got off 39 shots to Iowa's 29. That can't happen in the 2nd half if Iowa is going to pull this off.

Iowa had way too many careless turnovers.

 

[Franisdaman]

Need Weezy & CJ to go crazy in the 2nd half

 

[HawkLogic]

Well, guess we are about to find out how important Connor is out there

Not really. He wouldn't be making shots. Ulis played pretty well.

 

[fecal particulate]

Women aren't usually very responsive when they've been roofied.

 

[wilson reborn]

Agreed, the freshmen missed some opportunities to feed Luka in first half.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Good to see Bohannon taking open shots there, but 4 turnovers and 3 of them were unforced. Weiskamp please show up in the 2nd half. Left 5 points out there in the 1st 4 minutes and really did nothing after that at all.

 

[Franisdaman]

Time for Nunge & Keegan to shine

 

[SotaHawk87]

Well, that's because his wife is dead so it's understandable.

Yeah breast cancer is super funny isn’t it’s guys!?

is that why Dakich lost his hair?

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Totally OT but did you guys see Indiana removed their Big Ten logo?

 

[longliveCS40]

Great defense there

Bohannon struggled out of the gate but got it turned around aside from the unfortunate travel. Needs to keep it up!
