*****Official Michigan State at #8 IOWA Game Thread*****

[BigDogHawkFan]

Forget the refs tonight. This is on us. We don’t play defense, we can’t block out or rebound, and we can’t shoot at our own gym

 

[QChawks]

Our defense is like those cardboard cutouts

 

[Moral]

Mau is hacking the crap out of Garza, but call only 1 out of every 4 of them.

No dount it is in the tape. Hit Garza and see if the refs give a shit.

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

This is looking like Gonzaga again. Can they miss?

Can Iowa guard?

 

[Nohawknamesleft]

Tom Izzo looks like my aunt

My apologies to your aunt.

[flaiawis]

Iowa in the bonus with 12+ minutes left in the half. Any odds on the refs swallowing the whistle for the remainder of the half?
My guess is the fouls will suddenly go Spartys way.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Watching baylor v texas during timeouts. The difference in quickness between those teams and Iowa is staggering.

 

[drh1150]

Iowa.
Good for what ails you.

 

[Kurt Warner]

Our defense is like those cardboard cutouts

They might actually be better 😐

 

[Eternal Return]

This game is atrocious.

 

[BioHawk]

Garza should have shot about 30 free throws by now, but that's not excuse for the stand around and let them shoot defense Iowa has seemed to go to the last couple of weeks.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[hawkeyebob62]

Official, patented Fran February Fade getting into full swing?

 

[DirtyJohns97]

Well the good news is they are calling fouls on Sparty at least?!

Also we should dominate in 2nd chance points

 

[DougERot]

Unathletic guard court has cost this team for years.

 

[Pepperman]

This smells of Purdue Iowa last year. Can't bekieve that Izzo figured out if you are nearly perfect from 3 you will give Iowa some issues.

Tom Izzo is a basketball genius

 

[markfromj]

Lose tonight and the schedule looks a lot harder

I could see us losing 4 of next 5

Schedule looks easier if we win?

 

[HawkBall23]

Garza is getting fouled

Tell us something we don't know.

He gets fouled constantly when he has the ball, but he even thinks about "D'ing up" and its pretty much an automatic whistle.

Like his 1st? The guy missed the shot and fell down, so the ref runs in "FOUL! FOUL! FOUL!!"

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

MI State throwing up some prayers that are going in. Can they keep it up? Or will they start to clank them. They aren't getting anything in the paint.

Will they shoot 100% from 3 the entire game? I'll be bold and take the under.

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

Watching baylor v texas during timeouts. The difference in quickness between those teams and Iowa is staggering.

If only there were a couple of quick, uninjured guards on the bench.

 

[Moral]

Over under on refs lost iowa the game threads at 3.5 now. Under at +150

 

[DougFHawkeye]

I'd love to see our offense against our defense.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Perkins in ... 4 bench guys and Luka.

 

[Eternal Return]

Thank god, Nunge's in there.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Can't believe this shit.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Joe T into the lane. Strong move for 2.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Nice perimeter defense by Perkins.

 

[Moral]

JT is awesome when he doesn't break his own ankles.

 

[Eternal Return]

Some semblance of defense with this group.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Make your free throws.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Bench energy on the defensive end ... good.

 

[NevadaHawk]

We need to rebound better too.

 

[biggreydogs]

2 on hozer

 

[BubsFinn]

Early whistle vs. late whistle.
We get no points vs. MSU gets 2.

 

[HawkBall23]

Luka can't BUY a FT tonight. ARGH!!

 

[Chishawk1425]

****, missing so many ****ing Fts

 

[unoHawkeye]

Better defense by the second unit. At least making them work a little bit to get wide open jumpers

 

[HawkRugged17]

Perkins went for steal on Langford ... didn't work.

Perkins gets a hoop on the other end.

 

[BubsFinn]

Yeah, that's called moving screen and it's a foul.
