*****Official Rodents vs. Hawks Game Thread****

[LarryMullenJr.]

“8 helpers”. Can we stop trying to be hip on all the terminology please?

 

[HawkRugged17]

Nice take by Joe W for 2. Good sign.

Nice pass by Jbo to Luka for 2.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Gotta like the defensive energy so far.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Nice strip by Connor on Carr.

 

[JupiterHawk]

When I see Brandon Johnson

 

[HawkRugged17]

Luka runs the court again for the hoop ... and harm.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Two man game with Luka frees up Jbo for 3.

 

[QChawks]

Better energy early

 

[HawkRugged17]

Garza tries to take Robbins to the hoop and gets blocked. Stays aggressive for the hoop next possession.

 

[denmar81]

Both blocks were body fouls

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Luka has gotta be able to dunk that.

 

[longliveCS40]

This is our pace.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Fun big man matchup ... reminder of yester years.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Both teams running their stuff ... getting their shots.

 

[QChawks]

First one to 100 wins

 

[AJBHawkeye]

Both blocks were body fouls

No.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Luka just can’t guard anyone with decent athleticism at all.

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

Minny comin to play

 

[hawkeyekid]

I don't think Iowa is playing that bad of defense. Minnesota hitting some shots.

 

[HawkLogic]

good offense, pretty easy to abuse this small lineup on defense.

 

[denmar81]

No.

Yes

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Given the fact that we suck playing man-to-man D, it's a curious decision to come out playing man-to-man D.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

good to see Johnson can miss a 3

 

[HawkeyeInCentralIowa]

good offense, pretty easy to abuse this small lineup on defense.

When Keegan, PMac, and Joe T get put in, Minny will struggle to score.

 

[HawkLogic]

Height advantages or quickness advantage at every position for Minny. Yes, Iowa is in position but they are not capable of intimidating the shooters.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Every game they start in man ... for some reason. Will be interesting to see when they switch to zone.

 

[SotaHawk87]

7-4 MN on boards but 6-2 Iowa in assists. That’s a big one. MN falls apart when their passes are limited.

 

[HawkLogic]

When Keegan, PMac, and Joe T get put in, Minny will struggle to score.

Yes, it will change the dynamics. I'm not sure it is good idea to let a team that struggles on the road come out and be able to do whatever they want on offense.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Agree that we’re playing decent defense but even with that the shortcomings on that end are obvious

 

[pocha444444]

Bohannon came to play today

 

[Robster Raws]

Garza way too slow to swing the ball when double teamed

 

[HawkRugged17]

Excellent pick and long roll to the hoop. JBo to Garza for another 2.

 

[HawkRugged17]

Keegan and Patrick off the bench first today.

 

[Chishawk1425]

Keep feeding the GARZILLA

 

[Robster Raws]

JBo dropping dimes so far

 

[BubsFinn]

Gotta like the defensive energy so far.

Everything except the rebounding.

 

[SotaHawk87]

Rebounding optional today?

 

[Mitch122]

Leave Murray in!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Come on guys. They got 3 chances there.
