*****Official IOWA vs. Oregon Game Thread*****

[skydog0784]

Nice work Fran. Joe T is killing it out there and you bring in JBo for extended minutes for a a sweet 10-0 run. Idiotic

 

[HawkGem10]

That is Game, Set, Match Fran still sucks as a coach and our DA AD gave him an extension...what a shot show!

 

[Franisdaman]

56 points given up in 1 half

not gonna win many games

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

If Fran sticks with his usual second half rotation of JBo & CJF in lieu of Joe T & sliding Joe W at the 1 & 2 spots then I will file another complaint against Fran with the U of I.

It’s clear to me who needs most of the second half minutes - Joe T, Joe W, Garza, Keegan, and Patrick.

JBo & CJF killed us in the first half.

As long as Connor starts, I don't care who plays.

 

[Chishawk1425]

no words...

I was worried about this Oregon was not healthy all year.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Get out of the freaking zone!!!!!

Zone with Keegan and PMac was our best defense.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

4 of their starters with 2 fouls. Need to work on that in the 2nd half.

It's pretty simple feed the Garzilla. Play effing Defense

 

[longliveCS40]

JBo and CJF are going to have to get open and/or make contested threes in the second half for us to win.

 

[JerseyCityHawki]

Just not our day boys... unfortunately the second round hasn't been our day for 20 years

Absolutely have to agree with that statement they look rattled

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

When we can't make wide open looks from 3, this team is about as ordinary as it gets.

 

[anon_ts5cfra6drv7r]

Sooo, too early to talk 2021-2022 season?

Nope. Same shitty defense with 65% of the scoring.

 

[IowaMeatMan]

Not good, they are making their three’s,and we don’t defend it

 

[ChiHawk1985]

Sooo, too early to talk 2021-2022 season?

Yes

 

[PlazaHawkeye]

It's almost like Oregon has fresh legs or something

 

[jonesy5960]

This feels like a replay of the Gonzaga game.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa ain’t coming back from this deficit against Oregon. A real shame too. You’re up four and make the big lineup change then this happens.

Oh well, best team in 30 years out after the round of 32.

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

I’m not quite ready to write them off....but make no mistake we are in code red Five alarm fire meltdown warning here

 

[jhawkinaz]

Wow. I support all the Hawks, but would understand if Perkins had his scholly pulled for that.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Too fast, too athletic, and shooting out of their goddamned minds.
Not too good

Yup, was worried about that and some poster dismissed that as being nervous nellies yesterday...

 

[Hawkeye_311]

PAC 12 champions with PAC 12 player of the year as a #7 seed seems about right.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

My worst fear is Fran would try to play zone.

That's because he insists on playing Connor, JBo, and CJ. They are too slow to guard Oregon's backcourt. This isn't rocket science.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

Altman is coaching circles around Fran today. The 2nd half of this game will define the season, if not Fran’s entire tenure at Iowa. Losing while competing on D is one thing. That shit show on D in the 1st half is inexcusable.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Oregon finished the half on an 18-4 run

Blame the lineup change.

 

[ANYCHawk]

I was worried about this Oregon was not healthy all year.

I don't think its a healthy oregon that's the problem. Anytime someone shoots 50 percent from 3 and 60 percent from the field you're in for a long day. They were healthy before and didn't do that.

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

Ouch! 10-0 run for the Ducks to end the half. What a frickin' nightmare...

 

[KinnickCrawler]

Not sure why Garza isn't touching the ball every time down the floor. He's got 22 points on 10 shots and has been insanely efficient.

 

[herkhatescy]

These ****s can't miss

The will in the 2nd half.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

PAC 12 champions with PAC 12 player of the year as a #7 seed seems about right.

You sound like an Illinois fan. Stop it.

 

[PhoenixHawk5.0]

In games like JBO and CJ provide nothing at all. JBO may prove me wrong and hit some 3’s in the second half but CJ shouldnt play any more.

 

[szohn]

JBO nobody wants to own you!

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

IF they do end up losing this this year was such a failure, if Fran can’t get this team to the sweet 16 what team will he get there?

 

[RocknRollface]

Garza needs more touches, and I think Iowa needs to stay with its more athletic lineup. Played a good first half until the last four minutes.

Its insane that Iowa doesn't try harder to get him the ball every time.

Its an automatic bucket if he gets a paint touch.

 

[BBHawk]

Iowa ain’t coming back from this deficit against Oregon. A real shame too. You’re up four and make the big lineup change then this happens.

Oh well, best team in 30 years out after the round of 32.

What? Is OR a defensive juggernaut?

 

[AJBHawkeye]

Did anyone actually think Iowa would win this game? Honestly? We have no athleticism

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

There goes the game. It will be 15+ within the first 5 minutes of the second half.

"Bohannon! Connor! Get out there and play that D you're known for!"

 

[jonesy5960]

Why do CJ and Wieskamp continue to pass up shots, shoot the damn ball.

CJ has zero confidence right now. He doesn't shoot it because he doesn't believe he can make it.

 

[justinjdry]

Dude, it’s half time and you’re quitting with only a 10 point deficit? Yikes

Looks to me like most of these Iowa "fans" in here are throwing in the towel.

 

[Chishawk1425]

I don't think its a healthy oregon that's the problem. Anytime someone shoots 50 percent from 3 and 60 percent from the field you're in for a long day. They were healthy before and didn't do that.

They are this skilled and athletic on all 5 positions and these were my concerns.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

I don't know if we will win, but we will get the lead back at some point.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Cool! No need to watch then. Enjoy the remainder of your Monday

We will see who is right won't we? Seen this movie a few times before. Iowa goes ice cold and Oregon continues to scorch the nets in the second half.
