*****Rutgers vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[QChawks]

1pm BTN
Iowa -4

Rutgers coming in today winners of 3 of their last 4 games (@ NW, OSU and PSU).

Iowa won @ Rutgers 76-65 only 3 weeks ago.

Iowa desperately needs this one after losing two straight.

I’m thinking 79-72 hawks

Yeah, I’ll be at the game today…looking forward to a Hawkeye victory.

Man we need this game.

Not quite a "must win" in the true sense. But winning sure would go a long way in helping the tournament profile.

Why white??? should be all black or gold!

Some snow here yesterday ... maybe ...

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

Probably going with white unis today?

 

[ICWestfan]

Probably going with white unis today?

Maybe the marketing/promotions office thought they were playing Michigan St?

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Huge game for both teams. Rutgers wins and they are in a great position to be in the top 4 in the B1G. This game and the next two are games Iowa needs to win if it wants to get to the top 4. You must win your home games, because you won't win a lot of away games.

Huh. I heard the season is broken if Hawks lose so let's just play it safe and win, I say

 

[im4hawks50595]

Some blow outs in the big lately hopefully Iowa can add to the list in a good way.

 

[hknation]

Hmm...maybe IA is using Purdue's (another BLK & gold school) marketing dept, as they are also a fan "white out game" today, with the team wearing home white uniforms.
I guess MSU has nothing to do with IA's white theme.

 

[HawkHoops80]

Why white??? should be all black or gold!

Next Saturday is the Black & Gold striped for the Illinois game FWIW.

 

[Franisdaman]

Probably going with white unis today?

Hope they got the memo

 

[HawkHoops80]

 

[WSC72]

I am going to predict a win.

Plus, In this thread we will see a lot of complaints about officiating, Fran’s coaching and the typical B1G conspiracy complaints.

I also wonder if anyone actually reads other peoples posts or if they are just throwing out random thoughts about the game.

 

[DTP2]

Every team we lose to or barely beat seems to look like crap in their other games.

Typical Iowa fans in attendance today. Bunch of @torbee types standing in the middle of the concourse bullsh***ing with a beer in one hand, and ice cream cone in the other, while wearing anything but white.

It would be awesome to see PMac come out and score 25.

[lucas80]

Great. We’ve got Larry Sirotto on the court.

Damn, stay home dude......

 

[BrewHawk]

Really like the Rutgers basketball program.

Hope we win by 20, but I'm guessing we will see a better effort from them than we did the last time we played them.

 

[QChawks]

Pmac a go?

 

[NevadaHawk]

Gott to have this one today. I believe the Good Guys will step up and win.

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[longliveCS40]

Let's go boyz!

 

[NevadaHawk]

CMAC starting. 3 guard offense to start the game

 

[QChawks]

Both team with TO’s

 

[longliveCS40]

Rutgers looking frazzled so far.

 

[QChawks]

Back to back TOs 🙁

 

[NevadaHawk]

Value the ball

 

[QChawks]

Ugh

Shitty start

 

[longliveCS40]

That was goaltending! Holy crap!
