*****Iowa vs Florida NCAAT Game Thread*****

[Mitch122_rivals]

Off Fland. Because physics.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Bennet 0-9 3 pt.

 

[NoPuntsNoPeace]

well, the Hawks accounted for themselves well in a game no one gave us a shot in....

But...I can't help but wonder if it's going to be another 27 years for a sweet 16

 

[Ty7]

Thats our ball

 

[Skydog0784a!]

It’s ours

 

[HawkinAnk74]

There were some big misses by the refs in this one. Hate to play that card but there has been

 

[MAKhawks]

clearly off Florida

 

[HoggI74]

8 missed FT, including 3 1/1? and an airball...

 

[HawkBall23]

Despite likely losing tonight - a lot of 5-on-8 - I can't be happier with the way Iowa competed.

Did they leave a lot missed opportunities on the floor - especially all the missed FTs - and give up a few too many easy shots? Unfortunately yes.

But man were they fighting and didn't back down from this "amazing team" they faced tonight.


Couldn't be prouder of the fight, toughness and grit the Hawks showed in this one.

 

[BubsFinn]

Two incredibly obvious bad calls we had to challenge.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Wow.....should be our ball. Thought the challenge was a bit of a head-scratcher, but we get it back and save the TO.

 

[Hootie LaRue]

Some bad halves from Stirtz and Cam.

 

[Urohawk]

I love that ****** officiating makes us burn our two challenges even when we get them right.

Yeah, for real…

They’ve been awful from the start.
I’ll play that card all day. Not that it does anything. They’re horrible.

 

[hawkeyewx]

The stats say Iowa has missed 8 FTs, but it's more like 12 because of the 1-1.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Refs hosed us on that as we don’t have any challenges. Both were obvious.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Stirtz is choking so badly

Just not his night… (or Manya)

 

[bulletproof90]

Needed Bennett to really show up today, sadly, he didn't.

Only needed him to make just a single one of those threes to be honest.

That’s what hurts.

 

[MAKhawks]

I mean physics tells you it’s Iowa’s Ball

 

[HawksRule25]

Iowa ball! Let's go! HAwks Down 3 with 1:10 left.

This close with our best player shooting like crap. Future is bright if we can replace key seniors.

Exactly. At least one of the officials should has corrected the guy making the obviously wrong call

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Should be unlimited challenges, if you keep fixing their mistakes

 

[Ty7]

Stirtz is gonna hit a big shot to win it

 

[longliveCS40]

Big bucket Stirtz

 

[HawksRule25]

BS2 ... tough shot

 

[STtiger2025]

Condone setting moving screens all night and not once called

 

[HawksRule25]

Good D Hawks! Stay with it.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Ugh

 

[hawkeyewx]

Stirtz has to do better than that.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Geezus f*** Stirtz.....

 

[HawkBall23]

Stirtz giveth and Stirtz taketh away.


You gotta know they aren't gonna call a foul on FLA there, man!!!!

 

[QChawks]

Brutal

 

[longliveCS40]

Live by Stirtz, die by Stirtz. He killed us tonight.

 

[BaseBallerP27]

Paper ******* tiger stritz is

 

[HawksRule25]

Damn ... had a shot.

 

[MAKhawks]

The life of an Iowa Fan

 

[2D]

So close.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Unfortunately. They aren't going to call that...
