Go Hawks!

 

[srams21]

I really like Ellingson's game. He took it to the hoop earlier and now grabbed a tough rebound inside. He is much more than just a shooter.

 

[HeRKeYHoPeFuL]

Great start. Nice to have defense lead to offense.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

I don't know what's going on but this is some damn fine basketball.

 

[unoHawkeye]

Uhl has looked really strong defensively

 

[srams21]

Wagner with the dunk and then the rebound on the other end. I love his aggressive play.

 

[Mohawkeye]

Wagner plays really good, smart team defense for a frosh.

 

[like-woahh]

Uthoff is on fire

 

[srams21]

My gosh, Uthoff. 24 points already.

 

[crHawkeye92]

It looks like we've stopped playing defense but damn Uthoff is on fire!

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Holy crap. Have a game big guy.

 

[mazda1]

This JU kid is pretty good.

 

[Packer54]

It looks like we've stopped playing defense but damn Uthoff is on fire!

I swear if I keep seeing Woody jump out on the guard and not get back again.... He is not quick enough to get away with that when the floor is spread. No reason for him to jump out 35 feet from the hoop.

[CadeHawk]

Jared Uthoff is going all Mike Ditka on them.

Might be better if he starts fouling out there again.

 

[e720718998]

JU doesn't box out though ......

 

[srams21]

We are better at shooting 3's than free throws.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

53 point first half.
That's an entire game for wisconsin.

 

[QChawks]

JU 24 & 8

Not a bad first half.

 

[Packer54]

JU did that little base line jab step and fall away jumper. Looked like Larry Legand on that one. Hard shot to block with his length.

I really like Dom's all around game. The more confidence he gains the tough he is going to be. Like him a bunch.

Agree packer...

To Note ...PU is only up 8 on IUPUI in Mackey at halftime. IUPUI took Marquette to OT....

Great half by the Hawks....this team is really good.

 

[mazda1]

Loving Jok's D. First time in three years I"ve said that.

 

[Packer54]

True that. He is working hard.

 

[srams21]

Woody with the steal and goes coast to coast for the dunk!

Woody came to play the second half....good for him!

 

[SDHawkDoc]

wisky must have really been off and/or had 1st game jitters to lose to this team

 

[CanadaHawk]

Uhl looking good on O but has missed some defensive assignments the last 5 minutes that Fran won't like.

 

[skydog0784]

Interesting Fran had Brady running point for a couple of plays there. Williams checking in now.

 

[CanadaHawk]

Maybe we're playing better D than WI this year.

 

[Packer54]

wisky must have really been off and/or had 1st game jitters to lose to this team

They did not shoot well.....first game jitters for some guys.... and nobody to go to on the bench in game one. I saw it and it was fugly.

 

[mazda1]

Plenty to work on, but the bench is starting to learn.

 

[srams21]

It's the Uhl-tide season! Another nice night for him.

 

[cleotishaywood]

Nicholas Baer "Lookingbill".

 

[Jackorama]

Badgers lost to this team?! Badgers suck!

 

[jdv77]

This could be Fran's most talented offense.

 

[mazda1]

I'm not willing to go there yet. Let's see how we look against MSU before we get too excited. I do like the ball movement and our ability to shoot the three.

My concerns are our ability to get the ball off the defensive boards to start the break and our lack of offensive boards getting us few second chances. Uhl has shown more desire for the rebound the last couple of games and Wagner will fight for the ball. We need both to help us or we are in trouble off the glass. Jok went after it better tonight as well.

 

[sanjosebill]

53 point first half.
That's an entire game for wisconsin.

Well they scored 76 against a 38-0 team with supposedly the best defense in history in the Final Four so.....

 

[The Sleeping Dog]

It looked like we weren't really playing that well and lead by 30 throughout. Need to play harder against Clones. Now that will be a nice game for Ute to get nuclear.

 

[cleotishaywood]

We need to stop the drive to the hoop. Too many easy baskets given up.
