Which coincides with when their star went out with 3 fouls.

I'm a few blocks from the Capitol in Des Moines and I'm pretty sure a gold flake or two fell off.

Just heard my neighbor in Ankeny yell same time I did!

The good news:

We are CLEARLY the better overall team here.

The bad news:

That doesn't always matter.

Let's hope this continues for one more half of basketball. Then watch North Dakota state shock the world.

Not surprised. Pretty sure my neighbors hate me during Iowa games.

 

[hawkeye ball]

Question is...Will the shot go in at the end?

 

[QChawks]

Of course that 28 footer goes in

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Davidson making that three is a joke

 

[yerpHAWK]

"iowas size has affected davidson's offense"

Someone actually sees it.

 

[like-woahh]

5 minute commercial break is always good for a momentum killer

 

[ThatsFootball]

Yep, get used to those 28 footers for the rest of the game.

15..down to 12...down to 10.. now 8...damn it

 

[hansenhawk]

Terrible PG play might do us in yet.

ANNOUNCERS ARE HAPPY!

Geez, could they at least be a little unbiased here?

 

[luvmyhawks]

Damnit..... Come on

White messin around and might get a triple dub.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

This Gibbs is starting to heat up and be lights out from three....

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Here come the tic tac fouls to "even up" the foul count.

 

[hansenhawk]

That's half, up 9.

Feeling very uneasy.

Bad PG play might end up haunting us again.

Unless we happen to win, then on Sunday it will all be about the Zags....

9 point lead at half, killing them on the boards... shot pretty average.... I'm happy

 

[denmar81]

Waited for a shot like that? JU better get his head out of his arse the second half.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

We need to go right at Kaloniski and get his 4th very early in the 2nd half

 

[trail888]

Asshole announcers on Westwood one are pro Davidson. All they can talk about is Davidson either coming back and all things
Davidson, so tired of the lack of respect. It sounds like they barely acknowledge that Iowa deserves to be there.

 

[yerpHAWK]

We have to know that with this tourney no lead is safe. Davidson can shoot its way back in EASY.

 

[BubsFinn]

9 point lead at the half. As long as we don't go into a scoring coma in the 2nd half, we've got a good shot at this. I don't think their defense can make that happen, but we are capable of doing it without much help.

It's a good look for an end of the half shot. Uthoff can shoot over their entire team with no problem, he's the biggest matchup issue on the court for them. Just has to start knocking them down.

 

[longliveCS40]

Someone please explain to me why we aren't pounding the ball inside despite a ridiculous size advantage. Should be up 20.

Man, you are so negative. We are up 9 because we are playing some great defense. Keep that up, and keep playing to your advantage, and we will win. However, I hate teams like Davidson. Chuck up threes and hope for the best.

 

[pdjohnson45]

Let's take these kids to pound town... I'd like to see Sapp get some more minutes in the paint. He looked hungry and aggressive. Our offense works best with some penetration from the point.

 

[like-woahh]

No lead is safe against a team like this. If they go all Travis Trice on us I will be more than pissed off.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Haha the negatively NEVER gets old. Up 9 and held the 6th best scoring team to 29 points.. You'd think we were down 10 reading the game thread..

 

[disgrig]

Davidson would be good intramural team -- but probably not campus champions. Tall white team vs Short white team -- I'll take tall.

After reading and listening to all the "experts" leading up to the game I thought Iowa was a decided underdog.

I think(hope) Fran will do that in the 2nd half. No way they can stay with us inside. Gabe and White should eat them alive.

Being a Hawkeye fan for 40 years will do that to ya I guess.

Ya, i definitely fear them getting hot in the 2nd half.

9 pt lead is nothing. Let's hope we can continue to pound it inside and extend that lead to begin the 2nd rather then letting them right back in it right away.

Good news, I am driving home soon and am dvring the game so going to watch the finish later so won't be emotionally posting on here.

Played very well. If we continue to slow them down from the three point line I think we have it in the bag. Our bigs are too much for them. Keep dominating down low. Our shots will fall from outside. Get a solid win!
