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

[hawkirugged17]

Good Dembele pass to Peyton Sandfort inside for 2.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Rutgers 3 and Iowa leads by 10 with 21.1 seconds left. Iowa timeout for last shot (hopefully).

 

[83Hawk]

Defense was pretty good for most of the half, but has broken down the last couple of minutes. Need to pick it back up in the second half.

 

[Packer54]

Tuned in to see Brauns commit 2 stupid fouls and Rutgers cut it to 10.

I'm out. Can't watch this.

 

[GeorgePeeples]

Bad finish. Up 16 to up 7.

 

[Legs94]

Awful end to the half. Let them right back into it.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Yuck ... Iowa possession results in a turnover. Now Rutgers ball with 6.3 left.

And, or course, Rutgers gets a 3 at the buzzer and it's only a 7 point lead for Iowa at half.

 

[83Hawk]

Unbelievable. Just terrible play down the stretch.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Why we think we can play without a PG ...

 

[SocraticIshmael]

Perkins has been on the roster too long for unforced turnovers. Cost us points on both the picked pocket and the traveling.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

That was awesome that we crapped down our leg and let them back in the game

 

[JRHawk2003]

Harding should have been in that last possession with the ball in his hands. Not Tony

Bad coaching

 

[intrepodor]

First team to 15 points wins.

HAWKS WIN!!!

 

[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.

That didn’t go well. We finished the half as badly as you can. Missed Freeman. Perkins is not a point guard.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

No worries fellas. We’ll get to see this battle again on Wednesday at the big ten tournament

 

[DewHawk]

This team is really struggling in all aspects of the game mentally and physically IMO. Way long season.

 

[JRHawk2003]

Why does Fran use a no guard lineup. WTF? Perkins is not a guard.

 

[HawkLogic]

Freeman is Iowa's best player. Not having him for 10 minutes is a problem.

Fran seems to have a short leash with Bowen.

 

[LukaDuka]

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

It's Rutgers... nuff said

 

[Mohawkeye]

Perkins has been on the roster too long for unforced turnovers. Cost us points on both the picked pocket and the traveling.

I blame Fran for insisting that he be a point guard facilitator. There are 3 guys on the team with better handles.

Why, so Harding can dribble it into a double team in the corner?

I like your avatar. Not many people know Mr. Jorkin!

Great point.

 

[longliveCS40]

Started great and then went to shit. Just too many defensive lapses.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Great point.

 

[SocraticIshmael]

🤣

Completely accidental!

 

[sm_hawkeye]

Unlikely Iowa will hold Rutgers to 5 points for 7 minutes like they did in the first half. Game could tighten up.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

There is certainly talent on this team but it’s just weird—is it not utilized correctly or….i dunno.

 

[sm_hawkeye]

Crazy the only one with 2 assist in this game from either team is harding. Rutgers with only 3 as a team.

 

[QChawks]

tight game 🙄

 

[SDHawkDoc]

Starting the second half without a pg on the court again.

 

[longliveCS40]

Sandy on fire!

 

[hawkirugged17]

Dix for 2 out of the locker room.

 

[hawkirugged17]

PS3 then 2 ... Iowa back up 12.

 

[MikeyHawk]

good start, scoring some points

 

[hawkjt]

Stop maggs!

 

[hawkirugged17]

Sandfort on fire! Has 8 already in the 2nd half.

 

[longliveCS40]

Terrible turnover out of a timeout.

 

[Terrykohawk]

Mags is a 23% 3 pt shooter that is 3/4. Great recognition Hawks, wow.
