****SIU vs Hawks Game Thread****

[Hawksfor3]

Really impressed with Frederick.

 

[StormHawk42]

Already really like CJF’s game. Dude takes some pride in his defense. Might also be our best dribble and dish guy.

 

[slipHawk]

Frederick seems to be able to chew gum and dribble at the same time.

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

Announcers talking about getting flopping out of the game.

The “Wisconsin” rule.

There goes Bo Ryan’s defense. About God damned time.

 

[biggreydogs]

If he looks like this mid-year, I might be inclined to agree. First official game back, now’s the time to get it together

He almost air ball that 3

 

[Ihawkhoops]

Iowa could use Zeke Moore.

I am really curious to see how this gets enforced. They should give Davidson 2 fouls to start with right out of the gate.

This is why I’m saying Nunge needs to be coming off the bench and playing the 5. Not somebody we want hanging out on the perimeter. I want jump hooks and mid range jumpers

 

[briggshawk]

I know, but was pointing out that he is a freshman with high school habits. Guess that was missed. My bad

Well, for what it's worth, I wish that his shot looked prettier, too. But if he starts making them (remember John Shurna?), I really don't care what it looks like

Fair enough, I agree

I’m drunk...still cold from deer hunting...got back to the cabin and the Roku isn’t working...

Can a guy get a score update?

69-69

Agree. Why have a guy with his size jacking 3's? Like to see what Pemsl can bring the lineup on Monday.

 

[slipHawk]

Joe Weezy is my fav player on this team, hands down. If we could get one more guy to his level we'd have a team.

I brought this up during the exhibition about wanting Garza and Nunge playing the in/out game rather than throwing up 3's and got "educated" about modern basketball...lol

 

[Ihawkhoops]

CJ already an upgrade to Moss.

 

[QChawks]

I was really hoping we’d see something out of Nunge

nope

I mean, Nunge needs to have the ability to step out and hit the occasional three if needed, but it definitely shouldn’t be his game, I agree

 

[backinblack23]

Totally agree, he's not a outside shooter. He needs to hang around the lane and knock down those 8-15 ft shots with consistency. With Garza in there he takes away Nunge's area and leaves him without a defined role.

 

[slipHawk]

I was really hoping we’d see something out of Nunge

nope

Nunge has had streaks of greatness, still holding out hope.

Play special K?

 

[unoHawkeye]

My thoughts also

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Agree...Garza and Nunge can hit a 3 but I prefer Joe and CJ to shoot the majority of them.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Play special K?

Or Pemsl

 

[BBHawk]

If

So what did? Not digging on the guy, just curious what the hoopla was about.

Court savvy. Like a point forward.

It takes time to build a basketball program.

 

[BBHawk]

Fair enough, I agree

But he's no John Shurna!

 

[wilson reborn]

I was really hoping we’d see something out of Nunge

nope

he’ll be fine, needs to get the rust off

 

[skydog0784]

Alright, was that Hawkeye Elvis without the garb?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Agree...Garza and Nunge can hit a 3 but I prefer Joe and CJ to shoot the majority of them.

Exactly. I scream every time Garza jacks up a 3 early in the shot clock.

 

[CP84]

Connor has played well so far.

This Iowa team reminds me a lot of some past Wisconsin teams. A great center and several shooters.

 

[Mitch122]

Hopefully Pemsl can slide into the starting lineup. Nunge isn’t great

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Charge? I think NOT.

 

[QChawks]

Hopefully Pemsl can slide into the starting lineup. Nunge isn’t great

nor is Pemsl

 

[Hawkfan_08]

nor is Pemsl

I vote Kreiner.

 

[DougFHawkeye]

Hopefully Pemsl can slide into the starting lineup. Nunge isn’t great

Maybe you're right but basing it off 1/2 of the first game of the year seems extreme.

 

[Mitch122]

nor is Pemsl

He’ll at least bring some toughness and rebounding

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I about threw up in my mouth watching Wieskamp grab his arm.

 

[The Deplorable Sleeping Dog]

The new Nunge looks a lot like the old Nunge. Weak and lost. No positive contribution.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I about threw up in my mouth watching Weiskamp grab his arm.

SIUE plays physical don't they?

 

[unoHawkeye]

Is Fran trying to cover? Where are Evelyn, Toussaint, Pat?
