*****Oklahoma vs Iowa Game Thread*****

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

2pm FS1
Iowa -1.5
O/U 158.5

Oklahoma (4-0) was predicted to finish last in the Big12 this year and have beaten no one of significance yet. I like the hawks 88-80 this afternoon.

Go hawks!

Oklahoma's closest win has been +24 points. No huge scorers, four guys averaging in double figures. Another 4 guys averaging between 5 and 10. John Hugley IV is 6' 10" shooting at 80%. Sounds like a dunker.

Not sure why bettors have already swung this spread to Oklahoma -2, they are an extremely average team. We should win this one

Not sure why this is so surprising to you. What have you seen so far that would suggest that Iowa is definitely the better of these 2 teams? I haven't seen Oklahoma play, but they always have a lot of athletes and that normally spells trouble for Iowa.

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

I have not seen OK play, but based on recent history, the reviews above are probably greatly underselling the talent on the team. Definitely a huge step up from the teams Iowa has beaten so far. This should be a good game to evaluate how good the Hawks will be this year.

I just noticed that

Line is currently OU -1.5

 

[MikeyHawk]

Be a good game to win in regards to the NCAA bubble. Lets get the shooting going and more minutes for Freeman

 

[Moral]

Wish this game would have started at 7am so I didn't have to watch the Macy's parade, and so I could be to bed at a reasonable hour. Who schedules these late games?!?

 

[Franisdaman]

i demand that we win this game

thank you

Patrick just got wasted on defense, not good

OU has gotten to the rack 4 out of 5 offensive possessions so far. They're quick, we're slow.

It's early but OU is really taking it to us so far.

 

[Moral]

Lots of Hawk fans in the mostly empty arena.

 

[TDJ7]

Defense giving up layup's at will and Bowen can't make a layup. Great start.

 

[IowaMeatMan]

Lid on the basket early for the Hawks.

 

[HawkBall23]

They are waaaaaaaay more athletic than the Hawks.

Need the shots to start falling in bunches.

 

[MikeyHawk]

forced shots by Iowa

Lot of lay ups for Oklahoma

 

[fecal particulate]

Oklahoma is getting just about anything they want offensively right now.

 

[DewHawk]

lousy defense as usual

 

[skydog0784]

IA with a nice little comeback but OU is better than I thought so far - they really look pretty good.

 

[MikeyHawk]

good idea, sub for Patrick

 

[HawkBall23]

I know why the Hawks are struggling shooting.

Wilson Elite.

 

[MWardT]

It’s a layup fest early for Oklahoma

 

[TDJ7]

atta boy Owen

 

[Franisdaman]

Love Owen's defense

 

[skydog0784]

Saucy is struggling...

 

[HawkBall23]

Can't even make wide open putbacks.

jfc

 

[HawkBall23]

.... blow out city limits approaching .............

 

[Moral]

What a mess so far.

 

[QChawks]

so bad

 

[GeorgePeeples]

Basketball is difficult when shots don’t fall.

 

[skydog0784]

Yea, chucking from 3 point land and mid range jumpers isn't going to get the job done boys...

 

[Chishawk1425]

Awful start.

 

[curtisj157]

What a mess so far.

4 white guys on the court at once….good plan. Hoping for a swim meet to break out?!?!!

 

[Franisdaman]

22-13 OU

10:56 mark

Iowa shooting 28% overall and 21% from 3

OU shooting 53% overall and 50% from 3

 

[CarterHall]

On pace for a 20 pt. first half.

 

[im4hawks50595]

Guard play bad for Iowa nothing but dribble around the perimeter , needs some athletic guards bad, bigs look ok but can only take you so far

Alright, this one did make me chuckle...

 

[Franisdaman]

OU on a 7-0 run over last 3:25

Keep harding in. His upside is great.

Year after year, very limited on players that create their own shots.
