*****Iowa vs Iowa St Game Thread*****

[HawkBall23]

So the refs can’t review something on their own now?

That doesn't seem right to me.

But these refs seemed to think that's the case.

 

[Hawksfor3]

So the refs can’t review something on their own now?

They can but they won't.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Tate Sage is a baller. Aggressive.

And Howard!!

 

[HoggI74]

at least the hawks made a game of it

I think I’ll put together my rest of the year predictions now that we are 1/3 into the season

Yeah, you sure blew this one...

We needed this tonite!!

We needed Margret Mac stopping halfway to the bathroom to give the ref the double finger...

 

[Rambler Hawk]

I don't miss Fran in any scenario.

Yeah, agreed - momentarily brain fart.

 

[Moral]

Iowa needs to come out early and accidentally fall into a few people's knees. That's my keys to victory.

It turns out that it was the ref's knees.

 

[Buffalo43]

I thought Howard played great tonight on both sides i don't think Flogarius is a big ten player

 

[bansheexyz]

I don't miss Fran in any scenario.

We would've lost 94 to 77 against that team on the road with Franball.

 

[HawkBall23]

I know it screams of "moral victories", but to think that the Hawks were just a few less turnovers from winning that game 8-against-5 tonight in Ames ........

Easy Iowa win if we shoot 23 gift FTs.

Refs can F off

Via the NCAA:

Under the coach's challenge rule, teams must have a timeout to request an instant replay review challenge.
If the instant replay review challenge is successful, teams will be allowed to have one additional video review challenge for the rest of the game, including overtime.
If the first video review challenge is unsuccessful, the team loses the ability to challenge the rest of the game.
Officials can initiate video reviews on basket interference/goaltending and restricted arc plays in the last two minutes of the game and into overtime. Recent data shows these reviews caused minimal game interruptions. NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee members think the coach's challenge will have a significant impact on the flow of the game. Officials cannot conduct video review on out-of-bounds calls unless through a coach's challenge.

 

[DTP2]

Replay rules are stupid. You only get two chances at most but you have to save a timeout. Seems odd to penalize teams if the goal is to get calls right.

 

[2212hawk2]

Did Koch play in the 2nd half?
Starts but doesn't finish......

Might have been the 25 minutes and zero rebounds.

I think he is going to be special though!

 

[NIhawk79]

Ton of whistle help and a few lucky breaks for these guys at the end. I hate losing to these amateur twads. Plenty to be excited about after tonight.

Get things worked out in 3 games and get ready for Big Ten play.

[NIhawk79]

Grew up tonight. Exceeded my expectations

 

[Moorehawk]

We beat them in every category except free throws

Wouldn't be the NCAA, if they weren't putting in idiotic rules.

Bunch of media timeouts, but can't do a quick review when under a minute.

Refs would have worn blindfolds and gave ISU the ball on the review anyway.

Game was decided

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

2nd half felt as fixed as a WWE match. Waste of time watching that sh*t.

 

[KurtWarner]

We would've lost 94 to 77 against that team on the road with Franball.

I told someone 100-75 if Fran was still there

 

[Hawkeye1984]

We get cooked by the refs more then any other team….It would be interesting if someone was a stats wizard and decided to really dig into that.

 

[twindman]

Seemed like the girls game - same old crap. They apparently teach their kids to use their shoulder and bump hard in to the defender until you get him to the basket. Time after time they used there shoulder to get space.

 

[AndreTheHawk]

He’s just not a game changer in the big ten. Sorry I said it. Great role player but he isn’t going to take over games.

Their best player had 24, ours had 10. You can't win these games without Stirtz having more of an impact. He had 14 (leading scorer by double) against Michigan State when we got boatraced.

This will be a trend the entire year against the better Big Ten teams who will guard him with taller and faster players.

We played a hell of a game tonight, but too many really dumb turnovers from everybody cost us big time (guys playing too fast when they didn't need to).

Yep. But I’ll get attacked when I say he is a great MVC player. It’s not a knock it just is what it is.

 

[AndreTheHawk]

6 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists in 25 minutes.

 

[Slim45]

You’ll probably get attacked because he IS a great player. Regardless of level. Im sure the NBA analysts that projected him as a first rounder don’t know nearly as much as you

 

[Ptguard5]

No. Refs ROUTINELY go to the video on a close call like that.

Unless it's against the home team and they don't want to get boood

Under a minute, should have been reviewed.

Send in that effing tape Ben

save a time out, coach!

 

[Ptguard5]

You should use your timeouts when you believe you NEED a timeout.

You should not have to save them for the purpose of fixing a fvcked-up call by the officials.

obviously you should have.

 

[BaseBallerP27]

Like I said, amazing role player. Perfect for the nba. He won’t be someone who takes over a game. Once again I am not knocking him. He is a helluva basketball player.

 

[Palmerhawk]

Is he as good as AJ Greene?
Shooting? Yes
Defense? Maybe not as quick.

 

[Slim45]

He’s a better passer than AJ as well. And his D is fine, he played the whole game last night and on top of being the focal point of the O was tasked with guarding ISU’s top guard. The announcers acting like he’s not a good defender…lol

 

[Hawk48]

I thought Howard played great tonight on both sides i don't think Flogarius is a big ten player

starting to wonder myself. Currently seems to be too slow and overwhelmed IMO
