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

[QChawks]

11am BTN
Iowa -7.5
O/U 152.5

Rutgers (8-5) comes to town for the battle of bast place is the big ten. Two bad teams square if looking for first league victory. Statistically the only thing RU is better at than Iowa is defense (well duh) and offensive rebounds.

Iowa should win this pillow fight 82-70

 

[JRHawk2003]

Looking at the stats, they struggle to score. Of course, we don't defend so it should be interesting.

I demand that we win this game in front of a raucous, sell out crowd.

Thank you.

When men's were doing great it seemed like they had half as many weekend games. Bad year to get a favorable home schedule.

11am, what a great start time.

Pmac out for today's game

Pmac out for today's game

If that's true ... I wanna kiss you (no homo).

 

[hawksense]

If that's true ... I wanna kiss you (no homo).

Perhaps, a little homo. Nttawwt

 

[hawksense]

Remember, everyone off the bench today. No starters

 

[Mohawkeye]

If the Hawks are going to salvage this season, they need to win the next 3.

 

[icwesthawk]

Hope Pat is not hurt badly and that his issues have not returned. That being said, all homo all the time if we can win a BIG game finally

 

[ObeseMuffins]

Concerned for Patrick.

[hawkirugged17]

Perkins steal after missed shot and reverse for 2.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Perkins miss ... Perkins steal ... Perkins miss.

 

[BubsFinn]

First team to 15 points wins.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Freeman fights for offensive rebound, gets it and scores. And he is fouled.

 

[SA_Hawk]

If the Hawks are going to salvage this season, they need to win the next 3.

Also help avoid 3 straight losses vs Nebraska.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Freeman plays good defense forcing Rutgers miss.

 

[hawkirugged17]

PS3 ... from the FT line.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Perk 3! 11-3 Iowa leads at first media timeout.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

A not-set, running three-pointer by Sanfort is not a high-quality shot.

 

[ObeseMuffins]

A not-set, running three-pointer by Sanfort is not a high-quality shot.

He’s got the green light. I don’t mind the shot. Means he’s still got his confidence.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

I don’t know why Fran won’t start Bowen or Harding and Perkins at the guard positions with Freeman, Krikke, and Payton Sandfort. Need a two guard line up.

 

[Mohawkeye]

What am I seeing? Is this what they call “defense”? Did Fran hire Phil Parker after the bowl game?

Freeman continues to star.

Started Dix today ... it's not Bowen or Harding, but it's a guard.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Good double team by Iowa (Freeman and Krikke) forces a miss. Rutgers struggling on offense.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Dix 3 ... from Sandfort.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Perk missed 3 but PS3 after offensive rebound. Iowa leads 19-5.

 

[hawkirugged17]

17-2 Iowa run ... Rutgers 1-13 on last FG attempts.

 

[hawkeye_wx]

Rutgers has a lid on their basket.

Freeman continues to star.

look how much Defense improves with Dix for PMAC. Freeman is a huge difference maker. Krikke now the weak link.

 

[NI hawk]

Agree. Unfing believable.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Tug of the jersey by Freeman ... and subs in ... Bowen and Dembele for Dix and Freeman.

 

[denmar81]

Rutgers getting good looks but missing everything

 

[JRHawk2003]

Pikell is trying to employ the KF strategy in Basketball

 

[hawkirugged17]

Iowa leads 19-5 at 2nd media timeout (11:56 to go).
