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

[sm_hawkeye]

On track to be 50 points below over under haha.

Pikell is trying to employ the KF strategy in Basketball

 

[ObeseMuffins]

Offense flowing better. Defense better connected. It only takes one person.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Harding in ... and ball slips out of his hand on 1st possession for turnover.

 

[hawkirugged17]

And then a turnover on a Rutgers double team on Bowen.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Bowen 2 FTs. He is 32-37 for the season at the stripe.

 

[KcTo]

Why does Sandfort take so many forced 3’s

 

[hawkirugged17]

Freeman 2 fouls ... darn it.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Why does Sandfort take so many forced 3’s

There's two of them! Meaning Sandforts!

 

[hawkirugged17]

Dembele tries to back down Omoruyi and it doesn't work. But Iowa scores (Bowen) after turnover. Iowa leads by 12 with 7:48 left in 1st half.

 

[KcTo]

Freeman 2 fouls ... darn it.

Mandatory Fran jail time for the Defense

 

[Mohawkeye]

Bowen’s game is really growing on me. He can break down defenses and find creases better than anyone we’ve had in years.

 

[DewHawk]

Dembele's first game shooting evidently was an anomaly.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Harding runner no, but Krikke offensive rebound for 2.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Pryce Sandfort with shot fake and runner over Omoruyi for 2 on the baseline.

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Offense flowing better. Defense better connected. It only takes one person.

Amazing when its five on five at both ends of the court.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Iowa gives up baseline for Simpson drive for 2. Iowa leads by 10.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Krikke steals offensive rebound and gets fouled. 2 FTs.

 

[MikeyHawk]

nice play by Krikke

 

[hawkirugged17]

Iowa press gets steal by Krikke who tips it to Perkins for the jam! Iowa leads 32-19. Krikke has shown some savvy with offensive rebounds and a steal in past couple of minutes.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Defense can be fun to watch! Who knew.

This might be the best Krikke has played.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Nice block by Perkins on Simpson ... but Rutgers gets offensive rebound and gets fouled.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Defense can be fun to watch! Who knew.

This might be the best Krikke has played.

And he missed his first 4 shots, but kept his head in it.

Another nice post move on the baseline for 2 for Krikke.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Krikke fakes pass to Dix, and takes it strong to hoop for 2 and is fouled! Iowa leads by 15 with 4:00 left in 1st half.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Id like to see some Braun. I think his defense is made for this game. We need the defensive intensity to stay up without Freeman.

 

[83Hawk]

Heckuva play by Krikke for the and one!

 

[hawkirugged17]

Pryce Sandfort with shot fake and runner over Omoruyi for 2 on the baseline.

 

[hawkjt]

Krikke on fire!
Good job by Hawks of passing and finding the mismatch.

 

[hawkirugged17]

nice play by Krikke

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Did Nicholas Baer join Rutgers and then wear rec specs as a disguise? I want to see this guys birth certificate

 

[hawkirugged17]

Peyton Sandfort with the block and recovery!

 

[MikeyHawk]

Defense can be fun to watch! Who knew.

This might be the best Krikke has played.

Iowa is not really playing defense, Rutgers is just inept on offense

[KcTo]

It’s amazing when you remove the worst defender on the team, that plays the most minutes, and replace with defenders, and with PG who share the ball.

much better D
IOWA actually up 15, not down 15 in 1H

 

[hawkirugged17]

Just a little credit to Iowa D? ...

 

[NI hawk]

Get Harding or Bowen in for Pryce.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Brauns in ... and gets called for foul on bad screen.

 

[hawkirugged17]

And then Brauns gets the 2nd foul being a little over aggressive on d.

 

[KcTo]

Get Harding or Bowen in for Pryce.

Pryce channeling PMac on D

 

[83Hawk]

Hawks shooting has cooled.
