******Xavier vs Iowa Game Thread******

[QChawks]

This Effort ain’t gonna cut it in the Big Ten

 

[longliveCS40]

Xavier is hedging so hard on that ball screen out top. If we can complete that first pass around the double team it's an almost certain bucket.

 

[83Hawk]

Wow, Howard commits a foul 13 seconds in & Ben pulls him for Combes

Best just keep him on the bench the rest of the way.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I'd imagine there are some choice words in the huddle right now

 

[Franisdaman]

X fired up now. Dammit.

Don't worry. Little Dick Pitino is coaching them

 

[Denmar]

Continuation now includes 2 steps? Not the correct call.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I LOVE that McCollum will call a timeout after a made basket to make sure we're set up and focused defensively.

He was royally pis sed after that foul call.

 

[HawkBall23]

Really? That's a textbook definition of an intentional foul.

So he was just supposed to just give a light reach and tickle?!?!

He went for the ball, he didn't just wildly slap him in the face or try to wrap him up with his arms.

 

[HuskerTherapist]

Ol Kelly P making sure the fouls even out to start the second half

 

[Franisdaman]

Best just keep him on the bench the rest of the way.

yeah, Ben was not happy with Howard at all

getting yanked 13 seconds in....ouch

[Franisdaman]

I like how we take the fast break when its there

 

[longliveCS40]

Ben is big mad.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Don't blame you Ben.

 

[HawkBall23]

I don't see the bright red in the face and neck like previous coach, but Ben little warm under the collar this game.

 

[Denmar]

Slid his plant foot about a foot then pushed off. Not impressed with the black ref.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Ben is going to lose his sh*t on Banks.

Dude makes a lot of great plays.... And out of control plays

 

[83Hawk]

Shoot it, don’t pass it!

 

[Hawk48]

Lot of bad decisions with the ball by Iowa right now

 

[Franisdaman]

Ben is big mad.

really sloppy ball

 

[Palmerhawk]

Ben is intense. He seems to have a "comfort coach",trying to calm him.
A dawg.

 

[PW Herman]

Ben is big mad.

He seems almost McFafferyish from a temperament standpoint this game.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

100% ball there..... Not a foul

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Impressed with Sage

 

[Manfredi]

He seems almost McFafferyish from a temperament standpoint this game.

 

[Franisdaman]

Xavier is gonna struggle in the Big East. Yikes.

 

[longliveCS40]

Stirtz piling up fouls on Xavier again.

 

[HawkBall23]

He seems almost McFafferyish from a temperament standpoint this game.

I'mma borrow that one.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

That's a charge. Completely out of control

 

[HawkBall23]

Fking BS on that block call on Folgeiras.

Xavier bought a charge by jumping into the driving lane the split second before contact the other night vs Santa Clara!

 

[Franisdaman]

I'mma borrow that one.

 

[Hawksfor3]

TJ looking good.

 

[HawkBall23]

Stirtz keeps grabbing at his left calf.

Plz just be a very minor thing.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Bennett having trouble with his left leg. Grabbed at it earlier too.

 

[QChawks]

Stirtz grabbing his leg

Yeah, I don’t like that

 

[longliveCS40]

Xavier wearing down now. Hawks with some solid passing.

 

[HawkBall23]

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Stirtz is fun to watch.

 

[83Hawk]

That is the quietest 20+ point lead I have ever seen.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

How overrated is/was Hausen? Can’t even sniff the floor. Should have spent all that money on another big man.
