**** OFFICIAL IOWA VS. GONZAGA GAME DAY THREAD ****

[baldwinzag]

I guarantee this game comes down to the end.

Iowa scores in bunches. White will get going.

That said, I said to watch out for Karnoeski's passing. No one had faith in him. Said he's quietly out best player.

Iowa will start hitting shots yet better start playing defense.

 

[Floyd_of_Rosedale]

Poor body language....projecting. Poor passing....no clear play in mind. Poor rebounding....no follow-ups. Poor leadership on the floor....no direction.

 

[MTHawkeyes43]

This just how Gonzaga plays when the game turns into an up and down style. I have watched plenty of Zags games this year and when they play like this they are going to be a tough out.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Gonzaga shooting 75% and 80% from three

hmm read the post again. Iowa playing like crap and zaga playing insane, why we are losing. IT IS BS REGARDLESS this is a Zaga home game.

Grow up. We would be down like this at Carver.

 

[disgrig]

Long way to go, gentlemen. They've been hot--just hang in there. Better to be 12 down at end of 1st quarter than end of third (or fourth!) quarter.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

What in the F are these guys doing defensively

You do realize that's the benefit of being a top 2 seed right? This isn't a rare occurrence.

Nice late whistle there on that foul....

With that being said, this kind of reminds me of the Tennessee game last year where their bigs are huge and just use their weight and not get called for ANYTHING

[BubsFinn]

Take him out. Take him out now.

 

[like-woahh]

Unforced turnovers, ugh. Playing nervous.

 

[yerpHAWK]

Oh my god, were killing ourselves.

 

[TDJ7]

Oglesby earning his minutes again.

 

[hawkeye ball]

They just have more talent and size. Going to have to out coach them.

When did college ball start playing quarters? I always thought they played halves.

Dont start already. Gonzaga is a good team. You all need to settle the eff down and just watch the game. Saying its over not even halfway through the first half is ridiculous. Holy hell

Agree. lets get into our game. They cant possibly stay this hot

There are 128 teams in the tournament, someone is going to get a game close to home. Settle down.

 

[brewhawk23]

If I were Gonzaga, I'd run the screen and roll with that big dumb animal EVERY chance I can. Woodbury too dumb to NOT jump out every time. Iowa's defense is just bad.....

[ynglbc]

Terrible game plan so far. You can't leave the backside wide open with Gonzaga players there and let them get layups all day. I'd rather have them making long 3 pointers then lose the game because they get 20 layups.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

We like to hedge way out on those screens and Gonzaga has smartly looked to take advantage of that. Iowa is gonna need to adjust and either not overplay so much, or have someone ready to cover underneath until Woody or Gabe or whoever can recover, otherwise they'll continue to get beat inside on the roll.

P.S. baldwin, Karnowski is a good player, but he also picks up a lot of fouls because he throws his weight around. I'm sure you're fine with that, but just sayin. Take some charges on him and his aggressiveness goes away as he goes to the bench.

 

[hawkeyealumni]

Trash the zone and switch to man to man.

3 of 5 turnovers from the 2 spot, and all 3 unforced. Not good, not good at all

The way our defense is looking, Gonzaga might stay hot. They are getting easy post looks. The 3ball shooting is unreal, that is true. Disappointing so far.

 

[disgrig]

And Iowa should keep fouling the big goon. Use subs to foul him. I could shoot better FT's with my foot.

 

[farfaraway]

If we can keep shooting 50%, we got a good chance. If Gonzaga stays this hot they deserve to win.

 

[jett06]

There is an 85% chance the Zags will cool off during the course of the game.

 

[skydog0784]

Few really has some nice offensive sets. They're just playing classic two man offensive sets, back door cuts, etc.

Going to be tough to win IA doesn't make some adjustments & if the Zags continue to hit from outside.

 

[yerpHAWK]

Travel?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Cannot allow 2nd chances for Gonzaga when they miss

 

[like-woahh]

That kid cannot miss

 

[Hawk and Awe]

I question if some of you enjoy these games. Good grief. Gonzaga is really good and is hot right now. Just need to ride it out and play smart.

As I post white misses a layup and they hit a 3. Oh boy.....

 

[2432Hawk]

Did they read the wrong scout?

There is 80% chance we will be down by 20 points before it happens.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Lol apparently we're okay with giving Wiltjer wide open long range threes. Stupid. Dont even let them shoot. How about trying that instead?...............Jeezus

 

[MTHawkeyes43]

Just how Gonzaga played against BYU 2 out of 3 times this year.
