[Premium Scent]

Sup brahs?

No BS here, let's just get down to the business.

Keys to the game:
-Ad daddy/A-wow is the X factor as always. Need his rebounds and a few key baskets.
-Money Mikes confidence continues to grow and I luv the fight in this kid
-Only one 3 from Baer Trap, maybe even 1 from BE
-Need to get out in transition and make easy buckets
-Uboat needs to stay focused because of the SI jinx. Let's be serious, it's Uboat, he's as focused as I've ever seen him.

Pennsylvania State 60
UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HAWKEYES 76

Go HAWKS!

 

[luvmyhawks]

You are such an attention whore. 2 days before the game? Really

 

[ZaHawks]

0-0 so far!

 

[broth87]

Just handle our business. Focus on moving in defensively for 40 minutes, and be aggressive offensively. Should coast to a comfy win tonight if we have the right focus.
Iowa 81
Penn State 64

Uthoff for 26
Jok for 18

Premium Scent brings his A game.

Keys/Agenda for the game:

1- Show up
2- Give a reasonably half-assed effort, defense mostly optional.
3- Win comfortably
4- Grab something to eat and get a good nights sleep.

Woooo lets go HAWKS

 

[Gridiron24]

I had no idea we played tonight until a few minutes ago. This game is under-the-radar, that's for sure.

 

[SDHN2013]

I'd like another 4 threes from Paddy Joobles.

 

[hansenhawk]

New names:

A-Wow
Money Mike
Baer Trap
Uboat

I like it. Let's throw out a few more.

C-Section (Clemmons)
J-Strap (self explanatory)
Prince D (Looks like Prince playing basketball, then eating waffles)
King Will (Christian = Jesus = king of the Jews)
D3B- Brady Ellingson, with the history there.

Any others?

 

[kzoohawk80]

This game will be all about Iowa's effort. Bring it and it shouldn't be a game. Got to keep pace with Indiana and get a W tonight.

 

[hansenhawk]

Thanks for bringing it back to reality and on topic kzoo....

GO HAWKS!

 

[meatloaf55]

Big game tonight... not for any basketball reasons ( Penn State is atrocious) but the football team is being recognized and they are displaying the trophies hawks won at halftime. Also they are handing out retro Fran Bobble heads.
I would like to see U-toats get back to 25 points and 3 blocks and have Woodshed cap off a 20 point victory with a slam dunk

 

[SotaHawk87]

Penn State has given Iowa fits in the past.. Hope we bulldoze them!

[meatloaf55]

They are rushing their shots but are clearly the more talented team a few minutes in

 

[kzoohawk80]

Great D to start. Offense starting to get going.

 

[Packer54]

Great student support for two top ten Iowa teams. Weak sauce.

 

[HawkLogic]

gesell's shot is broken.

 

[srams21]

We need Gesell to pick it up down the stretch in BIG play.

 

[HawkLogic]

holy crap, wagner is stud

 

[Hawktagonapus]

WAGNER

 

[like-woahh]

Haha hell yeah Wagner, I've been waiting for him to finally just go to the rim and throw it down. Awesome.

 

[srams21]

Ahmad Wagner is gaining confidence boys.

 

[skydog0784]

Wagner just keeps getting better and better.

 

[like-woahh]

gesell's shot is broken.

He releases the ball on the way up instead of at the top of his jumper. When he's on he releases the ball higher, when he's off he's basically just flinging it.

 

[kzoohawk80]

Wagner is a serious athlete. Wow! Can't believe that defender put so much pressure on him at the 3 point line. What's he going to do out there?

 

[skydog0784]

I'm must be totally out of the loop. Anybody know what the reference to Adele and OSU about?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Wagner!

 

[srams21]

Wagner is going to be a beast. Strong and athletic.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Great student support for two top ten Iowa teams. Weak sauce.

This continues to be really strange.... what needs to happen to change this? BBALL has been good enough for long enough now that students should be showing up MUCH better than they are. Someone is paid to figure this kind of thing out right? Marketing?

 

[HawkLogic]

He releases the ball on the way up instead of at the top of his jumper. When he's on he releases the ball higher, when he's off he's basically just flinging it.

Flinging it is good description. Doesn't look good.

 

[kzoohawk80]

Great D so far. Love the effort. Gesell doing what fans on here have been asking. Just distribute the ball. Great decision on the Uhl 3. He could have forced that drive and didn't.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That shot by Dom is a little flat... but if it is working, go with it

 

[meatloaf55]

By the way how impressive is Wagner

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Wow Mike. Hope he can figure out his jumper. That ft line jumper used to be money for him.

 

[hawkeye ball]

Will be a nice double double for Woody tonight!

Gesell is taking care of the ball 2 assists, 0 TO. Not sure why his offense has become a problem. One shot blocked, 1 brick from 3pt, 1 air ball from FT line.
