Mulvey plays the best interior defense but Dembele gets more minutes. I cannot stand Frans rotations.

I cannot stand Fran

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Iowa can't afford to lose Dix in the rebuilding process. Gamer

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I hate being negative. There are too many negative players this half. How we are down 3 is a miracle.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Iowa reaches and swings at the ball with their arms like no one’s business. Their ability to move their feet is middle school aau level stuff.

Sandy is easily in my top 5 of most dislike Iowa mens basketball history. Not even hard to put him in there.

I agree, something about his personality is just off-putting. Maybe its because his frantic and overly-enthusiastic facade seems somewhat fake and manufactured. Also his constant wide-eyed, wide-grinning facial expressions give of some serious sociopath vibes.

 

[LukaDuka]

I’m actually watching today. @eyesofhawk

Iowa just doesn’t have a lot of talent or athleticism. Dix and maybe Traore and Thelwell off the bench are about the only Iowa players I would want on the team. The rest are PWO or Missouri Valley talent.

Payton Sandfort clearly has the McCaffrey union card. It doesn’t matter how many ill-advised shots he chucks up, how soft he is on defense, or how little he cares about boxing out and rebounding, his minutes are never in doubt. Harding belongs at Kirkwood; Mulvey is a joke; Dembele has Adam Woodbury athleticism, and the other Sandfort is a carbon copy of his brother.

Wisconsin is pretty much what they always are—scrappy and well coached. No one on the floor really impresses you too much, Tonje is decent, they just have a bunch of guys who can shoot 3s and play tough defense. Generally, that’s a recipe for winning a lot of games.

 

[Franisdaman]

58-57, Fook Wisconsin leads at the under 8 media time out

7:59 to go in the game

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Payton didn't even try on defense the last two possessions before he was taken out. I'm sorry. He is an adult who thinks he is NBA caliber. Not a fvcking chance. Have fun playing in Greece.

I’m sure he thinks he is an NBA player and this is God “testing him” or some other insane thing religious people think. All part of “God’s plan”. 🙄

 

[LukaDuka]

spot on

LMAO. I can't add to that.

Iowa has been lucky Wisconsin has been careless with the basketball and started the second half cold.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Why is it not Brauns turn to be in the game yet.
Dembele is all over the place on defense (not in a good way....) he's jumping out of control on guys at the three point line. He's not getting any boards. He's not alive on offense.

Fran pulled Harding right away but continues to roll with Dembele. Let Brauns play!

 

[Bulldogs1974]

I cannot stand Fran

Well you know dembele could hit a three

 

[jonesy5960]

Maybe take out

Mulvey plays the best interior defense but Dembele gets more minutes. I cannot stand Frans rotations.

Defense is boring.

 

[LukaDuka]

uh oh, Payton thinks he's hot now

 

[DewHawk]

can't score but McCaffery wont call time out

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

I don’t know about the religious mindset, but Payton does seem to not GAF about how many dumb shots he chucks up or how bad he is on defense.

It’s almost as if he knows he has the McCaffrey union card.

 

[Franisdaman]

IOWA leads by 1 with 7:12 to go

 

[LukaDuka]

clean block

That’s for sure. I’ve also noticed the announcers rarely if ever comment on his poor shot selection unlike other player’s. Everyone is drinking the Payton kool aid.

 

[Franisdaman]

IOWA leads by 1 with 7:12 to go

now trails by 1

 

[Bierhalter]

Was that even a foul?

 

[bansheexyz]

That was a block, shooter cant use his offhand like that.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Jesus Christ Dembele is Charmin soft.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

why would you run doubles against a great passing 7’ player in the short corner when the rest of the team is great at shooting the three.

 

[Franisdaman]

Connie shooting FTs the rest of the way

 

[jonesy5960]

Because. Iowa.

 

[bansheexyz]

Gonna lose with these refs. Every flail.

 

[HawkRose]

Sandfort is an idiot

 

[TheRealHerky]

We will soon be down much more than that. This team is trash

 

[MikeyHawk]

Gonna lose with these refs. Every flail.

refs fault!

 

[hawkeye54545]

That last shot by Sandfort is one you take when having a good shooting day. Today is not that day.

 

[Franisdaman]

son of a bitch....

Thelwell down

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Sandy just shot a 3 thinking he was Curry. Garbage. WIsky comes back and scored. He really is a negative to the team. I mean...he shot it from 30 ft.

 

[jonesy5960]

Sandfort is an idiot

Thinks he's Caitlin.

 

[HawkRose]

Welp, we were done anyway but with Drew gone this will be unwatchable

 

[Buffalo43]

Game over Payton going hero ball chucked up a 40 footer

 

[Bulldogs1974]

He may have broke his own ankle
