[HawksRule25]

46-43 at half is not the score I was expecting lol

There is no way both teams can keep up this offensive pace, it's nuts.

close to final score at carver.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Huge momentum pick up!!!

Down 1 possession despite a horrendous start, 1 unforced turnover, 2 stupid fouls on 3 point shots.

Ben going to weave some magic adjustments. We’re right back in this!

 

[HoggI74]

After 100 minutes of regulation over 3 games, Iowa holds a 2 point lead...

 

[Jonesy5960]

Fantastic end to a bad start...

FIFY..

 

[Hawksbyamillion_rivals316961]

Sage is a dog. Exactly what we needed to end the half, little red turnover and a 3.

For a half that went exactly how little red wanted it to, I'm floored we're only down three. Start praying that Ben makes the halftime adjustments we need.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

What a nice way to end the half. Thank you Mr. Sage!

How many times does that happen to us!!! Finally…

 

[Franisdaman]

Sage is f’ing pissing ice water!!! I think we win this one folks!

and when we do, we will be 3 wins away from an @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

 

[Rambler Hawk]

GAME OF HIS LIFE, GO 24!

No pulse….

 

[BaseBallerP27]

**** THE SAND FORTS

 

[Franisdaman]

Hawks only down 3 at half, after that ABYSMAL start.

And you know what else could turn into a huge boon for Iowa in the 2nd half ......

Folgers only needs 3 points to reach double-figures.

I think this favors us going forward…

 

[2D]

We finished strong with rebounding, but we can't afford more second chance points to a team that is shooting so well right now.

 

[Raymond K Hessel]

Fun game so far. We can figure out our defense and go on a 13-4 run, then change the tempo to our favor.

These teams are pretty equally skilled.

 

[Franisdaman]

Got to play them to draw on the boards in the 2nd half and make our free throws.

Outrebounded 13-8

IOWA with just 1 missed FT

Sam punking us.

I told you. Clothesline his *** so that he stops playing with the confidence of knowing he can get away with sh** because his dad is the coach.

 

[Denmar]

Folgers not getting the and 1 on that dunk is criminal.

 

[Hawkedup]

I think this favors us going forward…

Esoecially if we can bring that physicality on defense we had against Florida. Come on defense. Time to step lane lead us to victory.

 

[The Big Z]

I’m confident as well. Like Ben said in his interview we’re making a lot of bad decisions defensively. Overhelping on 2’s and giving up open 3’s. That’s drilled into our players. Now we shall see if either or both teams can continue this torrid shooting. Fun half. We were great offensively.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

So AF never got fouled by mast on that flush? wtf?

 

[TampaHawkFan]

Down 3 despite that onslaught I like where we're at.. But got to tighten up the D but for the love of God stop fouling their 3 point shooters.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Everything, and I mean everything, is going their way. Exact to their style of play and game plan. Just a nightmare half for Iowa. Totally sucks.

BAU they are 3 pt merchants and couldn't miss shots if they threw the ball outside the arena and let gravity bring it back in and find its way to the basket.

It's truly asinine "team of destiny" bullsh** shooting.

 

[Buffalo43]

Cooper and Tate for 3 more years!

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Man, what a half. Thank you Tate Sage and Bennett Stirtz.
We need to figure out Mast better.
They need to cool down.
Need to close out on 3s without fouling.
Banks and Cam need to get going on both sides.

Did better rebounding the last 8 minutes. Need to keep that up. They’ll cool off shooting. A lot of their 3’s were pretty deep.

We were down 12-2 to start the game

Need to come out ready to go here in the 2nd half

 

[Jonesy5960]

Texas trying to Virginia Purdue.

 

[MFinn]

If UNL comes back to earth from the three point line, we’re good.

 

[HawkBall23]

Mashburn speaking truth on what Iowa needs to do defensively in the 2nd half ....

force NEB off the 3pt line.

Easier to overcome a 2pt barrage than it is a 3pt barrage.

 

[CRHAWK]

If UNL comes back to earth from the three point line, we’re good.

Iowa might come back to earth though. Shooting 7-11 from 3 and 15-25 total

 

[BaseBallerP27]

Just a reminder

 

[Raymond K Hessel]

Folgers not getting the and 1 on that dunk is criminal.

The big turkey for Nebby has had a few fouls go uncalled.

 

[Hawksfor3]

close to final score at carver.

Slow it down!

It was just bad 3 point defense the first 10 minutes of that half. Ben said as much.

Come on Ben, coach 'em up in the locker room.

Take down Little Debbie!!!!

 

[Skydog0784a!]

My recipe for success this next half…

Stirtz drive and convert or kick out for open 3 balls and secondary cuts and actions if the initial action breaks down.

 

[Hawkangler]

close to final score at carver.

Thoight the same thing. We need to really tighten up on the perimeter.

 

[Hawklove]

We were down 12-2 to start the game

Better yet, come out to dismantle them.

There is no ‘if’…..it’s ’when’…
