*****Official Temple vs. Iowa Rd. 1 game thread*****

[luvmyhawks]

Awful quiet around here for game day. Let's get this party started as Iowa looks to advance to the second round of the tourney.

Keys to the game. Simple. Make shots. At least more than Temple makes.

Lets hear it. GO HAWKS!!!!!!!

 

[Herkster5]

Well, we need to score more points than Temple, not make most baskets. Simple math would say if we make 20 2 pointers, and they make 17 2 pointers, and 3 3-pointers, we'd lose. See what I did there?

 

[luvmyhawks]

I've never been real good at math, so no, i am not real sure what you did there.

 

[LinusPF]

Can we just save time and give each team 70 points, put three minutes on the clock and tip it off? It seems every game the past month and a half has come down to the last few minutes.

True, LinusPF, so it would be nice to salt this one away early, like the Iowa that was 10-1 in the conference. Get ahead early and pile it on late. Get the deep reserves a chance to see the floor today and get the top guys some extra rest for Sunday. Stop letting teams hang around. I hope the Hawkeyes open with the press, play fierce man D every second, and show consistently ferocious blocking out and rebounding. Do that and the result will be a good one.

Sure, it's about making shots, but when you play with energy, passion, and mental toughness, the shots do tend to fall. So let's see the Iowa that was top 3 in the nation. No more talking. Let's just do it.

Channeling your inner Taurean Prince.

Time for the seniors to define what there going to be remembered for. They definitely took us out of the dumpster fire that was Iowa basketball. 3 straight NCAA tournaments is a great way to be remembered. But they could just be remembered as the "what could have been".

Hawks by 6 in a very tough game. Proud to be a Hawkeye and proud of these Hawkeyes!!

Oh, goodness no! If either team is at 70 points with three minutes to go, . . . we're in trouble!

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

Let's Go Hawks!

BTW: Another player just had both feet go out from under him on a drive down the lane on the floor in Brooklyn. Basketball should not be played on roller skates.

Iowa by 15. 74-59.

 

[HawkLogic]

uthoff passes up open 3 at line, then takes 2 deep ones. Mikey is mikey.

 

[Curt Furence]

Uthoff looks confident early, letting it fly. Hopefully he gets it going. Good to see Jok get one in

 

[HawkLogic]

woody makes a layup, good sign

 

[Curt Furence]

There we go U

 

[Curt Furence]

and you make a 3 and you make a 3... everyone makes threes

 

[HawkLogic]

and you make a 3 and you make a 3... everyone makes threes

everyone but mikey and Woody

 

[HawkGem11]

Lets keep this shooting up boys!

 

[kzoohawk80]

Temple with hands down on our shooters. Closing out on Clemmons instead of making him shoot. This is scouting stuff.

 

[like-woahh]

Jok is looking mighty confident

 

[Curt Furence]

everyone but mikey and Woody

Yeah, would have been nice if Woody would have made that lay up but I like this start

they haven't seen woody, gesell, clemmons 8 times in previous 4 years.

 

[HawkLogic]

only one of the clessell pair, like this lineup

 

[HawkLogic]

gesell can't stick with Decousey

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Gesell with 2 relatively quick fouls. Looks like it may be Williams time.

 

[Curt Furence]

Gesell with 2 relatively quick fouls. Looks like it may be Williams time.

Gesell done for the half probably. Fran rarely plays anyone with 2 fouls in the first half

 

[HawkLogic]

guess Uhl 48% from 3 was aberration

 

[like-woahh]

Who the hell is going to score with this lineup

 

[kzoohawk80]

Who the hell is going to score with this lineup

Need this lineup to be productive. Keep the lead.

 

[Curt Furence]

Get Uthoff or Jok back in

 

[Curt Furence]

Need this lineup to be productive. Keep the lead.

no one was moving and Uhl can hit an open look but that iso pull up is not his game

 

[HawkLogic]

Who the hell is going to score with this lineup

Fran doesn't think conventionally.

 

[like-woahh]

oh boy Woody with the flush!

 

[BubsFinn]

I don’t believe, what I just saw!

 

[basketballfan333]

Woodbury. Sure am gonna miss his incredible athleticism and ability to look like a complete clutz.

 

[KeyWest Tim]

Looking good early.

Looks like a great crowd as well.
