*****Illinois vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[2D]

Hawks look brutal on offense so far.

 

[HawkBall23]

Blowout City.

ugh.


At least the Bears pulled one out of their butts last night.

 

[HawksRule25]

9-0 Illini run and Hawks down 17-5.

 

[QChawks]

welp

I guess it’s NFL at noon

 

[hawkeyewx]

Crap. This is pure men vs boys. Stirtz is way off and Iowa has zero answers.

I'm wondering if Iowa can even score 50.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Uh oh…this feels like the Minny game…

 

[Anon1751586422]

Looks like big10 vs mac.

 

[2D]

Hawks look lost and intimidated.

 

[Hootie LaRue]

Getting thoroughly outplayed in every area. Not a lot of hope right now.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hawks digging early hole.

 

[Buffalo43]

Defense is terrible

 

[QChawks]

Iowa is not a top 25 team

 

[HawkBall23]

If this game doesn't demonstrate the desperate need for NIL to give Ben better players to utilize his system and style, nothing will.

Hawks gonna lose by 30+, at this rate.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

NIT

 

[2D]

Carver is as quiet as a graveyard right now.

 

[MAKhawks]

Looks like big10 vs Valley

Fixed

 

[Hawksfor3]

Serbian Nationals up.

 

[EdgarAllenPodolak]

I’ve learned Eastern Europeans are our kryptonite.

 

[2212hawk2]

Not even competitive.

 

[Buffalo43]

Are we going to score again this half?

 

[QChawks]

Minny loss was Yuge

this team is in shambles

 

[2D]

Currently getting run out of our own building in front of a sell out crowd.

 

[NIhawk79]

Uh oh…this feels like the Minny game…

Except Illinois is actually good.

 

[Hawk48]

Iowa is not a top 25 team

unfortunately they are not at this time. look completely lost,

 

[Franisdaman]

Down in front!

 

[PeteJox]

So refreshing!!

 

[Hawklove]

Those lazy passes into crowded areas, those steals … hope they can come back

 

[kwik44]

Flu effects have caught up. Even when you’re over it, it seems it lingers energy wise.

 

[Franisdaman]

Are we going to score again this half?

 

[HawkBall23]

Everything about this game is a disaster.

Stirtz is absolutely lost on the offensive end.
Can't match size when it comes to defense.
Have yet to grab an offensive board.

Everything about this game sucks (so far).

Worse yet, nothing to really complain about officiating-wise. This is all about Illinois just taking it to the Hawks.

 

[hawkeyewx]

This is demoralizing for the big Sunday crowd at Carver.

 

[QChawks]

Sorry Ben, I know you want fill Carver up

But games like this are not helping the cause

 

[IowaCityLit]

Reality check roster, unfortunately.

At least BM will now understand what type of talent it takes to win in the B10 versus MVC. Which I think he already knew.

 

[Franisdaman]

Concentrate!

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Flu effects have caught up. Even when you’re over it, it seems it lingers energy wise.

We’ve reached the Flu excuses in record time

 

[HawksRule25]

Concentrate!

 

[PeteJox]

Basketball cignetti!!

 

[MAKhawks]

Thank goodness for defense and rebounding

 

[HawkBall23]

Alvaro just stands there and watches an ILL player run in for their OReb.

That isn't lack of energy, that's "sit your azz on the bench and I'll think about letting you back in in the 2nd half" kinda stuff.

 

[2D]

Iowa being outrebounded 13-4
