Someone tell Connor to stop shooting

 

[Chishawk1425]

Weathered the storm, lets get to work now fellas!

 

[QChawks]

MSU 7/12 from three

so predictable, you can’t make this shit up

 

[Moral]

Nunge 3! Buttchugs all around

 

[MWardT]

I like Garza and Nunge playing together tonight. Need the rebounding against MSU

 

[TRHawkeye145]

I thought JT shouldn't be playing according to some?

 

[ichawks]

Connor’s shooting form is atrocious.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Capture the lead before half?

 

[wilson reborn]

Jack has his 3 for the game. Now play tough underneath

 

[HawkRugged17]

Good minutes by Joe T ... under control and finding open teammates. 3 assists so far.

 

[Chishawk1425]

I thought JT shouldn't be playing according to some?

He's been excellent.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Someone tell Connor to stop shooting

Someone tell Fran to pull him for someone that can shoot and defend.

 

[Franisdaman]

I am really happy for Jack

Its been a really shitty last 12 months but he's had a REALLY shitty last 12 months

 

[Stormn Norman]

Maybe CMac should try to get a little closer to the basket.. just because he’s wide open from 3 doesn’t mean he can’t dribble it in and get a better look.. might even draw a defender out his way...

 

[birthhawk]

Someone tell Connor to stop shooting

He HAS to shoot. If he doesn't, then he's completely useless.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Connor can't defend. And him hitting a couple threes at Illinois might have been a curse in disguise, as he keeps firing away from deep.

He does do a hell of a job, though, of feeding the post.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Good minutes by Joe T ... under control and finding open teammates. 3 assists so far.

Yup. Nice first half for him so far.

 

[HawkRose]

Agreed no more Connor. Been saying for over a month he is a bench role player. Our good shooting hid his deficiencies.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

He's been excellent.

I admit...I'm a JT fan boy even with his turnovers. I see the potential and what he brings against teams like Sparty

 

[Franisdaman]

Weathered the storm, now lets kick these guys' asses

 

[kzoohawk80]

Can anyone offer a reasonable explanation as to why Fran is playing zone with Luka and JBO on the bench?

Probably not the answer you're looking for but probably because Fran can't coach man to man defense.

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

Yup. Nice first half for him so far.

And he made his free throws too.

 

[BigDogHawkFan]

If he keeps shooting 3’s and misses, what does he bring to the floor

 

[Hawkman34]

He HAS to shoot. If he doesn't, then he's completely useless.

Well.....sadly tonight he IS completely useless....

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[NevadaHawk]

At least we are making a game of it now. Should not be this difficult.

 

[HawkRose]

Garza free throw virus is back

 

[Moral]

If he keeps shooting 3’s and misses, what does he bring to the floor

Are you talking about Nunge? If so rebounds and shot blocking

 

[Bigfann1966]

Bring in the scrubs to replace the ones cleaning up their mess! Connor needs to play baseball and JBO needs to play off guard and run screens for him. Is Fran really this stupid....Garza comes back and this is what you do?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hope Jack stays strong on the boards.

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Nice to see an Iowa guard be able to drive. Thought I was watching the wrong game for a minute.

 

[Franisdaman]

****ing missed FTs

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

So many missed FTs

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

If he keeps shooting 3’s and misses, what does he bring to the floor

Post feed.

 

[Eternal Return]

Ulis!

 

[HawkRugged17]

Joe T, JBo, Joe W, Nunge, and Garza ... this lineup will be interesting.

Joe T 2nd foul ... boo!

But here comes Uhlis.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Connor to the bench, Toussaint and Bohannon in the game. I like it

edit: and now Ulis

 

[HawkRose]

Teams are taking that away now by sagging way off. He brings very little

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Hey, Ulis sighting!

 

[birthhawk]

Hey! Guess who it is!
