*****Official IOWA vs. Wisconsin Game Thread*****

BJ looks like he could still play, guy never ages!

BJ is 54 years old!!!

Wisconsin PSU was the lone game so far where 3 point shooting wasn't abysmal in these Big Ten games. Playing with extremely open sightlines in a football stadium is something to watch. Hopefully it's a nonfactor adjustment, but if the outside shooting is masked then Iowa's offense becomes far less effective.

I got a fever, and the only prescription is another Badger ass kicking.

 

[Franisdaman]

30 points for Garzilla?

Rutgers & Illinois a close game? @MrsScrew

Check this out & watch:

I have a feeling that IA is going to pound WI tonight similar to what we did in Madison.

I think IA is going to come out pissed off & not look back at the nonsense that WI tries to pull.

Just a gut feeling I have...

I think we are going to see a very inspired team these two tourneys. Should be a lot of fun the next few weeks.

 

[BubsFinn]

Wisconsin -4? Seriously?

 

[tippet1]

Wisconsin -4? Seriously?

Probably because they don't know if Wieskamp is going to play.

 

[Franisdaman]

Wisconsin -4? Seriously?

umm, iowa is favored

Okay. The radio show I was just listening to had it UW -4.

 

[blhawk]

Michigan's slow start is reinforcing my concern about adjusting to the weird depth perception in this huge venue. Wiscy has a head start there, hope it doesn't effect our shooting too much.

Edit: looks like Michigan got used to it towards end of half

 

[Franisdaman]

Of course, everything Wisconsin will throw up will go in

From last evening;

@FlickShagwell , do you think Harb brings his buddy Oliver Martin w/ him every time he sets up fights in Iowa City?

No, he would probably kick your ass without any help.

 

[Franisdaman]

great setting for basketball!

 

[sbhawk64]

When BJ played he looked 14 yrs old. He has aged now into a 30yr old

 

[IllQChawk]

On a side note did anyone ask B.J. if he was upset that # 23 wasn't retired? Sorry I had to ask. Also B.J. said that "We are behind you" Did he not get the memo that one former Hawk is no longer in Iowa's corner!🙄

 

[Hawksfor3]

JBo had 16 last time out vs the cheese curds. We need him again and also Keegan. With Luka and these two, the rest is gravy.

Ah, for the good ole days.

 

[HawkGem10]

I don't like getting Wiscy 3 times after beating them the first two times, I do think we are going to win but just hard to beat a solid team 3 times in the same year so has me nervuous for the game.

 

[bucky44]

Some of you guys are too worried about this game. Wisconsin has played stretches of good basketball against the best teams in the conference this year, but has yet to put together a full game. Not sure why that would change tonight

 

[Franisdaman]

this is pretty cool

 

[NevadaHawk]

I hope Wiscy shows signs of fatigue in the second half as a result of playing yesterday. I believe we win this game but I expect it to be hard fought. Just win baby!

 

[BubsFinn]

I have mixed feelings about tonight. Yeah, I really want to win, but I might be okay with a loss if Davison leaves the court with a bloody nose at some point. Nothing career ending, but something to get his attention would be fine with me.

 

[QChawks]

Hawks win 82-75

Sign him up!!! Could see him roaming the sidelines in Carver!

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

Iowa 97
Rodents 61

 

[kceasthawk]

LOL if you think the Hawks need Wieskamp to beat Wisconsin tomorrow. The Vadgers shot out of their minds from behind the arc against the 11th seed, and survived - with the help of the officials - by 1 point.

IF JoeW plays, and his ankle doesn't hamper him a lot, Iowa wins by 20+.

If he's kept out, Hawks win by 10-13sh.

So what happened in Iowa City on senior night last Sunday? That was NO easy win.......

Time to send in Big O and let's him swing his elbows a la Les Jepsen!!

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

I’m glad it’s Iowa/Wisconsin. Game is house money for both teams. Both basically have their ncaa seeds set. Might as well add some rivalry juice to it

 

[HawkBall23]

Small, but critical, difference. Iowa started with a hot Weezy in that game, that was "ready to drop 40". They would be playing the whole game without him, this time. No adjustment necessary.

 

[QChawks]

Any word on Weezy?

 

[skydog0784]

Any word on Weezy?

Katz reported that Weezy was fully participating in initial pre-game warmups earlier this morning and looked like he was moving without issue. I'm pretty sure he said he'd be "shocked" if Weezy doesn't play tonight.

 

[WadeWilson]

I just really don't want to lose to Gard and Davison. It would be worse than losing to Penn state by a lot. I want to beat them so bad Davison cries

Scooped.

Scooped.

There it is!

Oh it’s on!!

[HawkBall23]

I just hope Joe doesn't start off 5-5 again..... the Vadgers might not think it necessary to help him roll his ankle again.
