*****Official Iowa vs TCU for the Emerald Coast Classic tourney win game thread*****

[longliveCS40]

because we wouldn't get any rebounds...you can't rebound out of zone and these guys feast on 2nd shot.

You know how else you don't get rebounds? When every shot for the other team goes in because they are layups.

We should be playing zone without question.

 

[HawkBall23]

Letting TCU reach and grab and hack.

Fran needs to get with the program. Refs won't call everything, and the other coaches know that. Be the aggressors on D and O!

 

[BVHawkeye]

Our press is not working!

 

[QChawks]

That’s enough for me

 

[Buffalo43]

Someone guard the basket please

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Why aren't we playing zone

 

[KcTo]

Just dunking vs our press…

who is defending the effing back line???

CMac and Rebraca definitely not Sir Jamalot back there

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

I felt like Connor had been playing pretty good this year. He’s taken at least 3 steps backwards tonight.

 

[longliveCS40]

4/11 from three

Better than us

Wide open because of dribble drive help since we are playing man and can't stay in front of them. They aren't good shooters.

 

[CookyMonster]

Cal gave these boys a better game. We look weak, small, and timid. Looking at a 8-10 seed

 

[Buffalo43]

Conner taking too many chances on defense time for Perkins

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Maybe stop the press Fran!

Unless you just want to give up layups and dunks all 2nd half!

 

[kzoohawk80]

I felt like Connor had been playing pretty good this year. He’s taken at least 3 steps backwards tonight.

Connor needs to sit on the bench right now.

 

[DougERot]

16 NBA scouts are here to watch Kris & the TCU kid

Well they sure as hell aren't watching PMac...he's been awful. Keep your boy in there Fran.

Other an AU and DB, who HASN'T looked like crap tonight!?

We knew we had rebounding issues before the season began, but the turnovers, the total inability to defend, the failure to compete is beyond me. I was concerned about our shooting from three before the season because when the 3 point line is defended we have no knockdown shooters.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

LOL at Mulvey reclassifying to get last year to develop and Josh pulling out of the portal. Are we supposed to believe there wasn't anyone available better than Mulvey and Josh?

 

[longliveCS40]

Conner taking too many chances on defense time for Perkins

All of our guards have been gambling going for steals. Absolute awful defense.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Lol Pmac

 

[HawkLogic]

You know how else you don't get rebounds? When every shot for the other team goes in because they are layups.

We should be playing zone without question.

I don't think we are winning zone or man. Zone might work for awhile, you can't hang your hat on it.

Zone is a junk defense. 90 percent of time everybody in ncaa plays man defense and there is good reason for that. Zone is inferior in securing defensive rebounds because you don't have an assigned man to block out.

 

[longliveCS40]

Put PMac on the bench.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Pmac against Sasquatch sums up the athletic mismatch this game is.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Um ... PMac ... yikes!

 

[CookyMonster]

Pmac has zero ability to pull up for a 3 off the dribble. Spot up only

 

[HawkBall23]

Filip's fault the guy flies in and the block out knocks him on his ass.


refs

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Wtf was that pat lol

 

[Chishawk1425]

Back to the drawing board. Embarrassing

 

[ROHawk 44]

Not a good match up tonight when Kris isn't scoring. Had a couple of rotations that were overmatched. Sometimes Fran sticks with a planned rotation when the game dictates that you blow it up and go with the hot hands.

To take that shot down by 13 should get pmac sent to the locker room. Jeesh.

 

[Buffalo43]

Why is Patrick and Conner in

We need Sandfort and Perkins

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

Time to get going. That was ugly Patrick.

 

[DougERot]

TCU burning up the nets at 57%. Bad defense makes poor shooting teams look great!

 

[Franisdaman]

PMac air ball

seriously, how many Iowa air balls over the last 2 nights??

 

[HawkLogic]

Pmac against Sasquatch sums up the athletic mismatch this game is.

Good comparison.

 

[im4hawks50595]

Man has Fran ever consulted with anyone about Defense, his teams are brutal to watch when the offense is struggling and you need to play scrappy d.

 

[fecal particulate]

The PMac fade-away has to go. Such a low percentage shot but he does it all the time.

 

[skydog0784]

WTF was that Patrick?

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Other an AU and DB, who HASN'T looked like crap tonight!?

Dix and jelly didn’t look terrible

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

And now we're just throwing up garbage shots. Nice.

 

[drh1150]

TCU scored only 59 on winless Cal!

 

[longliveCS40]

Zone is a junk defense. 90 percent of time everybody in ncaa plays man defense and there is good reason for that. Zone is inferior in securing defensive rebounds because you don't have an assigned man to block out.

When the other team is far more athletic, you play zone. Look at points in the paint in this game. It's a layup line for TCU.
