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

How the hell did they win at MSU?

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

It has been a long time since the Hawks had this many playmakers at the same time.

and tonight....

overcame the legendary Assembly Hall
overcame the desperate Hoosiers
overcame dishonest officiating for most of the game
overcame a team with 15 5* HS legends; legends greater that Steve Alford!

and best of all

beaten by a 6'1" non point guard point guard who beat you from three, from the drive, from the pass (six assists) without any turnovers and then delivered the kill shots from the line the while laughing!

 

[gachawk]

I get where you're coming from because those d!psh!ts absolutely deserve to get worked over for the piss poor way they called that game. But you are right in that he shouldn't say anything about it. Focus on how solid his players were to get a win on the road.

Fran could probably say in a subtle way we didn't get some calls down the stretch but he probably won't since we won.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Sorry man, my bad, i misread

Its alright bro...I couldn't let him pass on that one

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

I agree with the whole idea of having to overcome the refs on the road..and to some degree that is expected. The refs are human and they tend to favor the home team. Im not saying tonight was an all timer, like the UNI game. On a scale were acceptable amount of home cooking is a 5, this was probably an 8.2

Down the stretch it was pretty damned biased. That no call on Morgan when Joe drove to the basket, and a few others I can't remember, were awful. Throughout, Morgan gets to commit maybe 3 clear fouls for every one called, but Luka gets called for nickel dimers every time he brushed an IU player.

I like Dakich actually, and I think he is usually fair. Tonight he definitely leaned Indiana, i get it, thats where his heart is. Not pointing out the railroading Luka was getting was disturbing.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Good win fellas. Archie is going to win plenty against the Hawks.

If the officials officiate like they did tonight, that's quite likely.

GTFO.

I may have understated my feelings Houston, I felt tonight was bad, very bad. Way over what should be expected.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

If the league had any integrity it would comment and discipline the crew tonight.

And you shouldnt

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

Hey! Connor took some shots tonight! I think he made a basket too.

 

[Harbinger273]

J-Bo come up clutch down the stretch. Lets go Hawks! Refs are bogus as hell tonight. Cook continuing to rebound and score to hold down the inside game.

J-Bo had 25 of Iowa's final 41. He was more than clutch.

 

[Harbinger273]

J-Bo nearly winning this single handedly. Bang! Wow!

Didn't realize at the time that J-Bo really was winning it almost single handedly in the 2nd half. No doubt Cook was a huge factor too. Done silenced the Hoosiers!

 

[HawkInArk]

Hey! Connor took some shots tonight! I think he made a basket too.

That was a nice, confident-looking dribble jumper he took from the free throw line. Kinda shocked me. I mean, he was wide open but at least he saw it and took advantage in a hurry.

kinda like the iowa supreme court disciplined you?

"The court further found that Sporer “lied under oath and fabricated evidence.”"
