I hope they don't see this trash officiating crew in a while. B1G officials aren't good, but this is one of the worst called games so far this season
Every game man. 😒
HIs rebounding/contesting shots is good. He is not a good post player on offense and he has
gotta quit dribbling. Missing that wide open layup was Woodbury like
That last sequence I can't help but think that K Murray would have been better in there for Nunge. When he's firing on all cylinders it's a huge mismatch, but when he's off, he gets in the way of rebounds and fails to pull it in, misses shots, etc.
Refs evening it up?
I'd be willing to believe that if I didn't think they were so incompetent. Lol
Great win by the Hawks! This team never quits.
Something really needs to be done about the horrible officiating in the Big 10. It just keeps getting worse. Some teams are just allowed to hack, mug, and flop at will.

I can see him coming out in a second half with gauze in both nostrils, a neck brace, and on crutches, and somehow hitting a 3.
That's because Iowa is still a bad defensive team. They can't afford to have offensive dry spells. When that happens, like it did today, it takes a potential blowout game and keeps it close.
You are always quick to tee that one up.
Just trying to understand it.
Is it some reverse psychology/voodoo that makes you feel better? Bracing yourself in the event they do lose? Or if the Hawks lose, it is an I told you so?
Help me out here.
Not to drag up the past, but where are the "Jbo shouldn't be playing over Joe T" crowd? It's BIG game time now and Jbo has risen from the ashes once again.....
Nunge with 10 rebounds and pretty disruptive down low on defense. That’s all we really need from him this year.
He just needs to gain the confidence to finish strong down low now.
Solid W for the Hawks today. Minny has lot of talent, like most teams in the B1G. Every W is a good one.
He’s rushing things right now. That missed layup was an easy gather and dunk. Instead he tried doing everything in one motion. He will get there.
Any time he gets the ball under the hoop, he should be looking to dunk it at 6’11
Connor missed front end of 1 and 1. Not sure if another Hawk also missed a 1 and 1.
Many said if JBO isn’t hitting shots then JT should start. Now, JBO is shooting well and turnovers are down. JT was playing better at the beginning. Seems like Jordan is a different player from what he was 4 games ago. The way he’s playing now, he should definitely start and play a lot of minutes. No turnovers today.
Garza doesn’t but I’ll say Garza knows ahead what he wants to do and then adjusts as necessary. Jackie going to have to figure it out , getting stronger will help tho
Garza doesn’t have the athleticism to dunk through contact - he usually needs a step. From an explosiveness standpoint, Jack should be looking to throw down and draw a foul on misses as he can definitely get up enough to do so in a given situation where he gets the ball under the hoop
Not sure but glad he’s slumping with Bohannon on a tear. He’s too good of a player not to get it going soon
Oh, and because it has to be said, Larry Scirotto and Courtney Green?
If they call the game right today, Iowa wins by 25+.
Not to mention that both Carr and Robbins both foul out with 5+ minutes left on the clock.

I understand that denmar, I do, BUT if your not going to give the benefit of the doubt to a FIFTH year senior who is Iowa's alltime leader in made threes', as well as a Big shot maker, AND one of Iowa's alltime assist leaders, then WHO exactly? Fran was right to stick with Jbo, and let him work his way back, and he can bring in JoeT or Ulis for that matter when needed. Until then, I plan on enjoying the last 20 games or so of some of the greatest Hawks who have ever played......
I understand Fran’s thinking, all coaches would have done the same. As couch coaches many of us noticed that JBO just wasn’t himself, uncharacteristically really bad passes, turnovers, and bad misses on his shots. Meanwhile, JT was playing his best basketball as a Hawk. Not so much now. Fans want the best 5 on the floor to start and JBO wasn’t at the time. Fran was willing to trade that for the chance for Jordan to come around. Kudos to him for that.
Well put.
Nunge leads IOWA in rebound % and block shot % ( in 40 minutes of conference play ) and contributed 10 total (in 17minutes) but totaled 7 in only 10 2H minutes and added to IOWA being plus 5 rebounds in 2H (which was also the game margin).
With the scorers on this team, Nunge doesn’t have to score and attempt a lot of FGA, being an surprisingly nice passer being 2nd on team in Assists/40 Apart 5.7.
10 R, 1 B, 2 A, proves again to be a very productive 17 minutes will only add to his hiGH level of performance in these 2nd level metrics.
having Nunge play 17 Or more a game (versus the 9 in the 1st MN game) and his very efficient production in key areas (rebounding, defense, passing) will be a key to improving iowas defense PPP which must improve for Iowa to go deep.
What's up with CJF? Box score shows 25 mins. of PT, but he was almost non existent on the offensive end. He did help with carr, but it's not like he was the sole defender matching up with him one on one.
I’m not worried about CJF and I don’t really think he’s slumping, he will make shots when asked, and he doesn’t take bad shots or turn it over.
my takeaways were 27 assists on 31 FGM, with jobo throwing it too Garza and Wieskamp 14x, for 2 guys that went 20-30.
The starting 3 perimeter guys had 18 assists and zero TO. We will take that and not worry about their point totals, as passing up contested or forced shots when you have Garza, Wieskamp and Jobo (now > 50% 3FG% in B1G play) is probably a smart thing. When CJF‘s FGA are there, I plenty confident that he will make more than his fair share.
