Thanks to the fans that tried to help bring the Hawks back tonight. Was a tough game to get in to initially, but the crowd got going in the second half. Someday, someday, the opposing team will miss those 3 pointers, and you'll be rewarded for your faith.
My main takeaways. We are a team of mis-matched parts, with a lot of guys playing out of position. Sometimes that works in our favor, but often, particularly on defense, it does not.
Otherwise, I think 1) Tonight's loss will lead to improved rotations and minute distribution going forward, and Connor will not play significant minutes going forward except in rare situations, 2) Iowa will lose 2 or less games in the month of February.
Please keep the faith. No shame in losing to a strong Purdue team, especially when they shoot better in the game than they typically do in warm-ups unguarded.
Go Hawks
