****Rutgers vs Hawks Game Thread****

[WestIAHawk]

Did they change the hand checking back to that you can do it and get away without now?

 

[Harbinger273]

Soft basketball for Iowa. Not looking good here. Rutgers should not be hanging with us.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Garza need to stop shooting

Has to know when to pick his spots. Down 4 and in need of a basket....is NOT the spot

 

[TailgateTom]

Why does Garza keep shooting 3’s

 

[Hawks4Life86]

Bad defense makes everyone look good

I’m sure a lot of his other shots that made him 23% were open as well. His 1st 3 in this game was way deep and decently defended.

 

[Mitch122]

Two games in a row we can't get a god damn layup to drop

 

[Daisy Mae]

Connor is not good

 

[percyland]

More turnovers than field goals

 

[ShawneeHawk 1]

Sloppy af. Settle down, Hawkeyes.

 

[hawkeye54545]

I don't understand bringing Dailey and Conner in at the same time.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Holy shit the turnovers

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Fugly basketball

 

[Hawkfan_08]

If Iowa values the ball and can figure out how to deal with this high pressure, we will be fine.

 

[QChawks]

That lineup was hot garbage

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Turnovers and bad defense. Apparently it was the Iowa game plan to do the most damage in those categories today.

We're in the late season playing down to our competition mode.

This is what it looks like.

 

[NI hawk]

Where are the points going to come from with this lineup?

 

[Crazy Hawk]

Soft basketball right now and Rutgers is playing msu ball.

 

[kcgolfer]

Cmac should stick to baseball. He gives us nothing in basketball.

 

[flaiawis]

Approaching a turnover per minute. Clean it up Hawks!

 

[Hawksfor3]

9 to's already. Yikes.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Why does Garza keep shooting 3’s

Agree but to answer, because they let him.

 

[And1Hawk]

We can’t handle high pressure D

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Two games in a row of CRAP basketball. Guess the NW game didn't wake anyone up.

 

[Daisy Mae]

Get your starters in the game Fran before this gets so ugly youll never be able to dig yourself out

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

I don't understand bringing Dailey and Conner in at the same time.

Nobody does

 

[unoHawkeye]

Dailey gets stripped then blown by and commits a foul

Why does Garza keep shooting 3’s

Especially when he hadn’t taken a shot in over 5 minutes. No rhythm offensively.

Rutgers is decent on defense but Iowa is way too sloppy

 

[Harbinger273]

Not impressive at all. So soft and sloppy with the ball. Close range shots rimming out consistently.

 

[CP84]

If Iowa values the ball and can figure out how to deal with this high pressure, we will be fine.

"If"

This also feels like the type of frustration game we could lose ugly and never find a rhythm.

 

[michael.nelson311]

Dailey gives us nothing at both ends...nothing

 

[Robster Raws]

Can’t figure out for the life of me, why we aren’t getting Cook in the post and letting him attack.

Instead, perimeter perimeter turnover.

And Dailey should take a seat. Not his night.

 

[HawkInArk]

Connor is not good

The winning combination does not include a lineup with both Connor AND Maishe on the floor.

 

[skydog0784]

Rutgers plays the type of defense that gives IA trouble. Need to work it side-to-side a little. They're over playing the inbound entry to the post / down low. Maybe some back door cuts.

Something like that...

 

[IAHawk2011]

Yup, watch the Rutgers players’ hands as soon as an Iowa player catches the ball on the perimeter....both hands all over the body of the Iowa players. As soon as they take a dribble that should be a foul. I can’t stand it when refs let this garbage slide.

 

[HawkLogic]

Hard to believe Dailey was a Rutgers flip, because he is not good enough to play for Rutger's right now. Rutgers athletic.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Get Cook on freaking block and feed him. We make this so damn difficult.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

It wouldn't be a Iowa game under Fran without head-scratching lineups. I expect it now

 

[percyland]

Someone guards them hard and they fall apart

 

[TheRealHerky]

Dolph was spot on about Dailey. Great young man, looks the part, but just isn't competing at a D1 level.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

"If"

I said if . I agree with you 100% though. I thought we would win this going away or lose close.
