*****Official Iowa vs. Nova rd. 2 game thread*****

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Trying to find some positives here. Seriously, I don't think ANY team in the B1G would have been able to handle 'Nova in that first half. I choose to praise Nova's effort and excellence rather than disparage our kids. The Wildcats are hitting on all cylinders. Not much can be done when that is the case.

BS, how many times does this have to happen to Fran and Iowa?

The only way we were going to the Sweet 16 is if we'd gotten ISU's draw. We hit a wall against these higher-seeded teams in the 2nd round.

The best way to not play a higher seeded team early on is to take care of business during the ENTIRE regular season & B1G tournament. That said, I don't think Villanova deserves a 2 seed.

Brick city to start the 2nd

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

You can't beat a zone by dribbling around the 3 point line..........

 

[stillh8unlv]

Yep gonna get back in it with woody and Mikey shooting - that's the ticket

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Less woody please.

 

[ANYCHawk]

 

[spiderland]

CBS giving us some cred by not already filling in the bracket graphic with Villanova.

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Uthoff fadeaway

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

"No numbers here for Villanova, it doesn't matter"....

 

[moral_victory]

The suspense is killing me. Who will be playing against Miami?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

And we're down 30....

 

[ANYCHawk]

Are we gonna lose by more than our total score?

 

[Hawktagonapus]

Well so much for a better effort this half.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Why do we have everyone just standing around on offense...... FREAKING MOVE!

 

[ANYCHawk]

 

[moral_victory]

Are we gonna lose by more than our total score?

 

[Mohawkeye]

Play the bench. PLEASE.

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Seriously. Put in Wagner and Williams.

 

[EddieHaskell]

I like it when Mike picks up his dribble.

 

[laidbackdude2011]

This is difficult to watch.

 

[BigHAWK8]

This looks like that game at the beginning of Teen Wolf where Coach Finnstock tries to talk the other team into accepting a forfeit.

 

[Hawkize!!]

Are we gonna lose by more than our total score?

Only if they score double what we do ... .

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Brick Mike and the foul as well.

 

[basketballfan333]

3rd team all American resting already? LOL

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

"One of these is NOT like the other..."

 

[ANYCHawk]

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Can we lose by 40?

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

We are the Washington Generals.

 

[spiderland]

Wow. Uhl kicks ball away from Mike. Keystone...

 

[Carolina Hawk]

Walk on is our best player.

 

[fecal particulate]

Just get the seniors out of there. They aren't playing like they deserve it.

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

This team has absolutely quit.

 

[LagunaHawk]

If possible, this is getting worse.

 

[EddieHaskell]

I'm going to miss Mike's jump shooting.

 

[longliveCS40]

The good news is that the younger guys look like they aren't as big of pussies as the seniors. The bad news is that they don't have much talent.

 

[moral_victory]

Only one player has been baerable to watch.

 

[navyrules]

This looks like a JV vs. a Varsity team. Not sure how we can play this bad....

 

[spiderland]

I disagree.

I'm sure that came as a big surprise.

 

[skydog0784]

I really hope that Baer, Wagner, and Williams play most of the minutes in the second half. Need to keep Jok & Uthoff in (even though Uthoff is playing poorly) for most of the second half.
