****Official Iowa vs Minnesota game thread****

[anon_qczsdwtnv6esw]

Moss, who people accuse of being too timid somehow found 9 shots to take this half. Bohannon took 1.

If you don't get stops on defense, everyone gets a lot of shots.

Except the “3pt specialist “ who’s spending time on the other side of where the ball is.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

At this point down 9 I would love to understand what he can bring to the mix. Have not seen it on defense, he can’t score so Minnesota doesn’t have to worry about him spitting up.

Poor mans JBo.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Unfortunately we don't have any other options I'm afraid. JBo isn't really getting it done so far in the first half. I would think JBo plays almost the entire second half though. I sure hope it's not too much Connor.

Fran has this substitution pattern of pulling Moss and running JBo and Connor for the last 6-8 minutes or whatever. That would be a huge mistake tonight if he did that.

Yup. Moss needs to stay on the floor in the second half, D it up, and hunt for shots. I don't want him to go iso, but he is lethal right now hunting for shots.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

Well, he have lace em up on D and hold them to about 30 in the second half, much like we did against Pitt. If not, game over.

 

[Packer54]

Btw did u guys here Minnesota at one time out? “we know what they are going to do....”. I think we ALL do. Damn I’d like to see us find some inside out opportunities. Openings for Joe. Etc.

 

[HawkRose]

I’m going to guess we come out in man. I expect minny to be ready for it and isolate jbo and Garza.

 

[kcgolfer]

We don't even try to box out when we play zone. Either our players are dumb or the coaches are.

 

[luvmyhawks]

Yes, but how many shots have they taken? Maybe we can get them a few more shots? And a few less Cook turnovers...

Joe has a wide open look he didn’t take. Sometimes, you have to take matters into your own hands and make something happen. As of right now, joe and jbo have completely crawled 8nto a shell.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Try harder to will Minnesota to miss more shots.

Thank you.

 

[Stormn Norman]

I sure hope Iowa comes out fired up and at the very least contest shots at the damn bucket.. just please show some heart for Effing crying out loud! Jbo, CMac & JW have to keep running on O they can’t get shots of the bounce and hopefully minny cools down

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

A foul? Yeah ok bud. that jerkoff official has had a quick whistle on anything Iowa tonight.

 

[CP84]

So much for the supposed summer effort to learning defense.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Cook. Stop shooting

 

[ConvenientParking]

We gotta dump the press. Pick up the guard at half court and match-up zone.

 

[Stormn Norman]

So much for contesting shots at the rim

 

[Gridiron24]

Does Iowa teach the secret rebounding technique called 'boxing out'? They just jump up and hope the ball goes to them.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Cook...don't know what to say

 

[flaiawis]

Get Moss and Garza the ball, on every possession.
Cook is embarrassing.

 

[slapchop]

tc coast to coast. so ugly!

 

[WestIAHawk]

Ova

 

[luvmyhawks]

We going to get blasted here.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Jesus cook... NBA? Lol

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Pass the damn ball...jeebus

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Cook. Stop shooting

Cook stop everything you are doing

 

[hawkeye ball]

Man to man. Nut up or shut up time. Stay away from the zone.

 

[Stormn Norman]

Welp, we’re F’ed!

 

[skydog0784]

Cook is out of control

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

Sit cook down. Someone please give a sh&$

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa is going to lose by 15...what a joke

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Cook stop everything you are doing

trying to dunk on his own free throw

 

[unoHawkeye]

Cook stop everything you are doing

He can keep grabbing boards... but pretty much

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Looks like second half D is starting off about the same as first half D.

 

[hawkeye ball]

Heard that clank from Iowa City

 

[Crazy Hawk]

Why teams don't just run down and send everyone around the half circle when Cook brings the ball down and take the charge is beyond me. He isn't going to pass it and he isn't going to hit a pull up jumper.

 

[Mitch122]

Cook is a 70% foul shooter?? I swear it seems like he misses more than half of them

 

[WestIAHawk]

Cant remember the last time Jbo made a layup

 

[luvmyhawks]

Where is the f***** defense. Don’t even look like they try on d.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Holy shit this D is embarrassing

 

[irunlikeAcieEarl]

Garza didn't even try to stop that.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Jordan Murphy can do whatever he wants apparently
