MORT words

 

[3boysmom]

This Rocket Mortgage commercial is just awful.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

There's the old random illegal screen call...

 

[yerpHAWK]

MORT words

Better than Mount.

 

[yerpHAWK]

I add rocket to mass murder to make it sound better.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Feels good to CLEARLY be the better team.

 

[skydog0784]

IA just not quite clicking on all cylinders. Fran trying to find the right combination but no luck yet. Wagner came in and gave them a nice lift. Hopefully we'll see a run before the half to distance ourselves a bit at half.

 

[MWardT]

Uthoff needs to shoot more. Iowa has gone away from him

 

[QChawks]

Nebby blew their load early.

 

[spiderland]

U-boat feeling it.

 

[QChawks]

Dom really seems confident. Love it.

 

[Herkuleez]

we need us a throw down to bring the house down

 

[srams21]

The last couple minutes we have kind of settled. I wish Uthoff would attack the rim more. We have them in foul trouble and on the ropes.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Woody was too open. No one within a county mile

 

[CanadaHawk]

I'm hoping we can pull away enough in the 2nd half to get Williams some minutes

 

[QChawks]

This game no flow.

It's like a pickup game at the rec center.

 

[Herkuleez]

Uthoff is the human eraser out there tonight

 

[spiderland]

Lotta fugly goin' on to end the half.

 

[srams21]

Crazy first half, but I feel like we should be up about 15 instead of just nine. Anyone else?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Mike does so well 90% of the time, then goes crazy and dribbles into nowhere

 

[CadeHawk]

The good a 12-0 run to end the half but boy it could have been a lot more.

Gessel's last two plays were just horrid.

 

[CanadaHawk]

I'll take a 9-point lead at half.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Crazy first half, but I feel like we should be up about 15 instead of just nine. Anyone else?

Yep. Need to take advantage of that HUGE scoring drought by Neb

 

[CanadaHawk]

Mike does so well 90% of the time, then goes crazy and dribbles into nowhere

NE has a lot of quick hands and feet.

 

[skydog0784]

Well that was a pretty uninspiring performance by both teams. IA fortunate that NE went so cold because the Hawks really couldn't get anything going.

 

[QChawks]

I turned it over to see Simmons of LSU play, he has 2 pts at half.

Hmmm

However LSU over Kentucky big.

 

[HawkLogic]

Well that was a pretty uninspiring performance by both teams. IA fortunate that NE went so cold because the Hawks really couldn't get anything going.

Nebraska opened up with hot shooting...better defense and law of averages brought them down. It would have only taken a mediocre offensive effort to bury these guys in 1st half and Iowa instead went full throttle inept.

 

[HawkAttackDial911]

Uthoff is the best two way Iowa player since...

 

[HawkLogic]

sad to see Wisconsin go down? Nah. Hope they suck.

 

[WildTurk]

Yeah Uthoff is the man. And every bad thing said about Woody dunking is negated by his defensive presence. He will be missed next year no doubt

 

[HawkLogic]

Uthoff is the best two way Iowa player since...

Left handed Uthoff is better than right handed Woody, Uhl...not that those guys are that bad, just Uthoff is that skilled with both hands.

 

[QChawks]

Marquette beat #8 Providence

Yes please!

 

[HawkLogic]

Get the other four guys off the court, all we need is Jarrod!!!

Uthoff and Ditka, because you need two guys to inbound the ball.

 

[HawkLogic]

Marquette beat #8 Providence

Yes please!

Looks nice, but I think we are lock to get into NCAA tourney as long as we don't have losing B1G record. Iowa just needs to compete for B1G title. Been over 30 years...we are due. Would make up for the Hose bowl.

 

[Packer54]

Well that was a pretty uninspiring performance by both teams. IA fortunate that NE went so cold because the Hawks really couldn't get anything going.

Good defense more than getting cold. Once Iowa starts to really make them work for a shot along with 6 blocks, that will bring the percentages down. Iowa needs to go at them hard in the first 5 minutes as they have a bunch of guys with 2 fouls. Find out if they want to try to play defense or back off based on foul issues. Put it away boys.

 

[skydog0784]

Yeah Uthoff is the man. And every bad thing said about Woody dunking is negated by his defensive presence. He will be missed next year no doubt

Yup, Woody brings a lot more to the table than people care to acknowledge for some reason. Yea he misses chip shots around the bucket but he actually has a decent spot up shot, hitting 80%+ at the free throw line, and outstanding defense play.

He will be sorely missed next year.

 

[yerpHAWK]

I turned it over to see Simmons of LSU play, he has 2 pts at half.

Hmmm

However LSU over Kentucky big.

ESPN says he's in foul trouble. However LSU does have some other good players, and with a guy like Simmons, I don't understand how they are not good.

 

[TDJ7]

Sapp doesn't look right.

 

[CadeHawk]

Fran needs to put Jok on Zyprexa.

 

[HawkLogic]

that is a cheap foul call
