****Official IOWA vs. Indiana Basketball Game Thread****

[Harbinger273]

The Hawks take on the Hoosiers tonight in Bloomington. Looks like Juwan Morgan is going to play, but may be limited for Indiana. Iowa has a great chance to move forward in the B1G Conference tonight against a team that has been slipping lately. However, Indiana's last game was a win against Michigan State at Sparty which may provide a major confidence boost for them. Should be a good game tonight at 8pm. Go Hawks.

Gonna start pounding beers in about an hour to prep, lets go hawks!!!!!!!

 

[HungryHawk]

Defense and rebounding. Win both and Hawks come home 18-5.

You are late to the party.

On a more serious note...this is a huge game for the program. Need to win to maintain the momentum that was generated off the big Michigan win. Lose and it falls back to the "seen this before" scenario in terms of not being able to maintain momentum at the end of the year. Just my opinion anyways.

Working remote at home today and tending my herd of kids, wife is home then I'm out to warm up at my favorite establishment for a bit, assuming the roads in Central IA aren't complete sh$t.

I'm going to a local place of my own for wing night and $1 beers.

I'm not feeling good about this one. Assembly Hall can be a rough place to get a win and I'm afraid the Hoosiers figured some things out against MSU.

I hope this isn't Purdue redux.

There is flooding in Indiana, on IU's campus and the major roads between Indianapolis and Bloomington.

Hoosiers might suffer a bit of a crowd deficit, considering. (every little bit helps)

Payback for when the "beam" fell from the Assembly Hall ceiling?

Saw something about tornado warning earlier today. Weird weather patterns moving through. Hope we can gain an advantage if the crowd is sparse.

It's also a 9 pm game locally (I think?) on a weeknight. Students will be there for sure but that's a big ask from anyone not in Bloomington.

8pm game. Doesn't ESPN know I'm too old for this shit?

Go Hawks!

Not too old, but gotta be on the road early in the morning for IC.

Of all the times to have the game not start at 6 or 7p CST.

 

[Moral]

Whichever team does better sport today will likely walk away with the win. Hopefully, it is Iowa.

 

[K OKeefe]

Iowa wins this game going away. Indiana is soft and lacking depth in the painted area. Iowa wins 85-68. Go Hawks.

 

[CanadaHawk]

@IN (healthy) and @WI are arguably the toughest games left on IA regular season schedule. Win tonight would be big because of that.

JW could solidify a defensive rep if he defends Langford well tonight.

This just in... game postponed due to flooding. Game will be rescheduled when Morgan is feeling better.

I heard a tornado is supposed to hit Assembly Hall at 8:00 tonight

A black and gold tornado

Bahahahahahaha! Was going to try to come up with something clever like this, but you stole the show. Very noice!

 

[luvmyhawks]

I am excited for this game. That is never a good sign. Oh well, let’s go hawks!!!!

 

[Hawksfor3]

A win at Assembly would be great and improve our road record. Lunardi still has 9 BIG teams going dancing.

 

[BUCKSNDUCKS]

Go Hawks!!!

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Defense and rebounding. Win both and Hawks come home 18-5.

Exactly right.

Iowa has zero chance against Indiana if they take a casual interest in defense and rebounding. In fact, they'll get blown out.

This is a big game for Iowa. They have looked terrible defensively on the road all season. That trend has to end tonight or cue in Willie Nelson. Turn out the lights. The party's over.

[unoHawkeye]

Penn St./Ohio St. in a 1 pt game with 8 minutes left both teams in the bonus. Hopefully the game starts a little later than 8:05

 

[HawkInArk]

Get this win tonight and I'm (somewhat) a believer in this team and their life in the postseason. Play some defense!

Their crowd has been very fickle of late, fwiw.

 

[TheCainer]

Iowa is going dancing for sure barring a complete meltdown. IU still has to make up for that 7 game losing streak. You guys win tonight and you should be in,

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Yeah... no way our game starts on ESPN. ESPN News isn't really airing anything big so I am guessing that will be the overflow.

I'm going to pre-game with a couple Tito's & sodas.

Especially if the fouls keep coming at this rate.

Both teams in the double bonus with 5 minutes left

My phone just went off for the Hawkeye Lights app. I opened it so I could feel like I was at the women's game... then my phone's flashlight's flicker woke up the baby. Not my best dad move.

If it were Duke, Carolina or Kentucky....they find a home for the opening tip.

 

[Harbinger273]

Gonna miss at least the first 10 minutes of the Iowa game at this rate. My Heavens!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Of course a game runs long...
