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

[Nohawknamesleft]

of course he makes it. Why not? Does the team just not care?

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Rewind to Iowa of last year with that defensive "effort".

 

[iahawks10]

You don’t know how to post it.

No he’s just a POS.

 

[HawkLogic]

zone is such a junk defense.

 

[mstp1992]

Iowa must be the worst team in the country giving up points at the end of the half. It’s been this way for decades, too.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Watching Iowa basketball sucks.

 

[QChawks]

 

[Moral]

Solid defensive effort in the first half.

 

[irunlikeAcieEarl]

You can't give that up end the half.

[Stormn Norman]

I may not be able to watch half two without breaking something!!

 

[backinblack23]

GET THE **** OUT OF THE ZONE FRAN YOU DUMBASS,

 

[unoHawkeye]

Effing embarrassing. Gave him a wide open 3 to close the half. Murphy might post a triple double in this one. That was the worst defensive basketball I can remember watching.

Moss should shoot until he misses

 

[skydog0784]

Oh boy, that last second 3 ball was a back breaker.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

This is shit defense but Minnesota is also playing out of their a$$

 

[luvmyhawks]

Our defense is complete garbage. Why is no one guarding Murphy. He is killing us.

 

[denmar81]

Conner shouldn't get the minutes he does!

He’s no threat to score. Iowa needs scorers in there cause they ain’t stopping em on Defense.

 

[markfromj]

Iowa would NEVER get a review like that and get the call....NEVER

Bull. We did just a few games ago when they removed a Garza foul. Remember.

 

[doughuddl2]

Iowa D holds them to 66% shooting

 

[mstp1992]

14-5 with a win over the Pac10's best
4-4 in the best conference in America
You need to recalibrate what not good means.

Consider the source.

 

[kcgolfer]

Why does Conner play??? No offense, no defense. I don't get it.

 

[Chicagohawk2019]

Unbelievable

LOLz....the Pac-12 is a garbage conference. I wouldn't hang my hat on that. I'd be willing to wager Minnesota is playing in the NIT come March. Iowa may be too, but I am fairly confident the rodents will not be in the NCAA tournament.

 

[2212hawk]

What an absolutely horrible defensive effort in this first half. They better change their mindset over the half, or Minnesota is going to hang 100+ on them in this loss.

 

[ConvenientParking]

I wish we had these guys at home later in the season. We can beat these guys, but they are hot right now and it's going to be very hard.

 

[HawkLogic]

Fran philosophy is let teams have open 3's and hope they don't make them. Even brick layers like Minnesota can get hot and
it is contagious when you don't have an hand in your face.

 

[slapchop]

how many contested shots did minney make? 1?

 

[flaiawis]

55 at half. Embarrassing and that locker room better be ashamed.
Moss and Garza are the only reason we are within 9.

 

[Buffalo43]

I love garza on offense but he just stands there on defense and is a huge liability in this game

Challenge a fricking shot once and awhile!

 

[HawkeyeShawn]

It’s not possible for MN to shoot that well in the 2nd half. It’s also not possible for Iowa to play that poorly on defense in the 2nd half. Is it?

 

[DougERot]

Moss. Baer, Garza, Kriener bringing it tonight so far.

Everybody else, not so much

What the hell has Kreiner done? He is not guarding his man at all

 

[unoHawkeye]

What the hell has Kreiner done? He is not guarding his man at all

Yeah I haven’t been super impressed with Kriener.

Moss, Baer, Garza

 

[michael.nelson311]

This may be the worst defense in 9 years guys and gals....

Iowa is not a good team

 

[Robster Raws]

I’d like to say Minnesota can’t keep up the offensive explosion...but they do get to play Iowa in 2nd half too.

Teams only have to guard 4 players when Connor on the floor too. He has any 3 he wants, and doesn’t even peek at the rim.

 

[luvmyhawks]

It’s not possible for MN to shoot that well in the 2nd half. It’s also not possible for Iowa to play that poorly on defense in the 2nd half. Is it?

Yes, it’s possible. It seems we say this at every halftime. This defense is awful.

 

[Stormn Norman]

I don’t see how Iowa has gotten in a fight yet.. getting dunked on, jumpers to the face at will, giving up 55 FREAKING points in one half of basketball! Is anyone on the team gonna get mad & D up and play ball or are the effing cool with this garbage?!

 

[skydog0784]

To the poster who can't view the game, I'd recommend ESPN - shows the play-by-play, box score, etc..

[DougERot]

He's the coaches son, that's why

 

[Buffalo43]

Garza is lost on defense just completely lost

 

[HawkeyeShawn]

MN shooting 65% and 45% from 3.
