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

It was like the refs didn't even want to blow the whistle on that foul on Sage.

Super cool that Illinois can recruit these 7 foot, 30 year old European guys.

Don't know if you noticed but they are all professionals now.

Miracle time now

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Goodnight Iowa still no chips in major mens sports

Nebraska sucks lol

 

[kentadel]

Refs calling it tight. Nebraska game they never called anything on Iowa. Need consistent calls.

 

[Andrewrayhons]

Time for us to go on a run, right into the final four.

 

[HawkBall23]

Sage has been Player of the Region for Iowa.

Just played so much better than a freshman in this tournament.

 

[Libertylover]

Looks like the refs are going to get their victory.

According to these announcers, every time a foul is called in on Illinois, it a terrible call, and when they call pitter pat fouls on us, they were great calls.

 

[NIhawk79]

How can he complain about that foul

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

They need to stop getting long players who can drive and shoot.

That played professionally in Europe.

That’s college

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Keep making them hesitate and settle for 3s.

Hey now! They're 23!

 

[Manfredi]

If we could just rebound a bit we had this

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Booooooooooo

 

[Iowameat]

That will do it. Hell of a run guys.

 

[HawkBall23]

I'm not sure if I still really want Manyawu back next season .................................

 

[hawkeyewx]

Dunk it Manny1!!!

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

unbelievable cam

 

[longliveCS40]

It's just put their head down and drive every time and for some reason we can't figure that out. It is literally the only thing they do.

 

[MAKhawks]

Good run

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

That's why we don't have to stop looking inside as well.

 

[stillh8unlv]

Holy shït a foul on the body for fuükkin once

 

[MAKhawks]

Illinois and the officials were just too much to overcome

 

[wilson reborn]

They had a hell of a run!!

 

[Hawksfor3]

That will do it. Hell of a run guys.

A great year! Congrats to the Staff and team.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

I'm not sure if I still really want Manyawu back next season .................................

I think he’s a wasted scholly.

 

[Andrewrayhons]

Joke

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Cam has to hit that.

Not sure when that foul was on us..... Again

 

[Grayhair1981]

That played professionally in Europe.

Everyone is playing professionally now.

 

[HawkBall23]

I REALLY HOPE that Duke comes out of the East, because no way ILL will have the refs on their side in that matchup.


Would love to see Duke trash them by 50+.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Just not enough good shooting in the second half to make up for the inside butt-whoopin'. Amazing run.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Just too much size today. Great run

 

[MFinn]

It was a hell of a run, fellas. Just too much to overcome tonight. The future is bright in Iowa City.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

What was that last foul?

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

We just don’t have enough firepower. Good season guys

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Everyone is playing professionally now.

You know what we mean. 10 years ago, you play guys like that and you'd forfeit your whole season.

 

[Hawk48]

Banks wide open, passes to the outside. Banks inside under the hoops, shoots into triple defender.

Banks BBall IQ is not good and he plays a good game about 1 out of 5

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Sad... I hate Illinois.

 

[longliveCS40]

Why we decided not to shoot threes here late is a mystery. You were never going to score inside with Banks and Manyawu. They've shown that this game.

Terrible gameplan on offense and awful defense allowing dribble drives has been the difference.
