Tired of seeing McCollum having to beg the crowd to make noise after big plays.

Slow start, but Hawks got it rolling. Looking good!

 

[HawkBall23]

Iowa BB crowds, while their butts are glued to their seats ...

 

[Hawksfor3]

After a slow start and early turnovers, the Hawks shooting 57% go on a 7-0 run in the last 1:52 to end the first half 43-21.

 

[2D]

I still find it concerning how often we pass up shots. Sometimes it feels like we're scared to take a shot.

 

[HawkBall23]

Bujiek 9pts (three 3ptrs) + rest of Bucknell 12 pts = 21.


Final score prediction, after a half of play;

91-51, Hawks

Agree. There were several times I commented to my wife that the Iowa player should have taken the shot instead of passing it.

And 11 steals!

I wouldn't necessarily say they are scared to shoot, its more like they are coached to find the highest percentage shot available aside from yourself.

Methodical offense and passing.

 

[StormHawk42]

Wouldn’t worry about the crowd. It’s kind of a weird game against a terrible opponent. Also it’s about 85 degrees in here.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Up big and Coach Mac looking really intense on the sideline. What a competitor.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Man. That looked like he was trying to get his hand out. Bucknell immediately turns it over.

Up big and Coach Mac looking really intense on the sideline. What a competitor.

And he hasn’t played pocket pool once.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

This team is fun. I know Bucknell isn't good and they are hurt but we share the ball, defend as a team, communicate and switch well, shoot well.

 

[hawkeyewx]

McCollum's Iowa is kicking the sh** out of the teams they are supposed to beat.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Glad Alvaro had a good scoring outing tonight. He needed that.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Banks with 14/9.

 

[2D]

I'd like to see Jirak develop, he's our biggest guy and we could use the size. But so far, he's been very green.

Compared to the last few seasons ...

Anybody sticking around for the Penn/Rutgers extravaganza?

This is a good passing team but totally agree they need know when to put it up. Don’t over pass

This.

Fran with the usual smiling face and hands out of pockets.

He’s a project. It’s going to take time for him

 

[Hawksfor3]

Kael having fun.

For a short time maybe, but I haven't missed Pocket Pool and the "no D in my house" system and style of play even a tiny bit.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hausen with a move!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Jirak getting practice 3's.

 

[83Hawk]

He’ll be fine.

 

[HawkBall23]

Games like this are hella boring.

But they're a great hella boring, simply because they are supposed to be this way.


Fran's squads would make this feel kinda exciting because Bucknell would have have 62 points right now instead of 32.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

This will look good on the metrics..LOL. Getting tickets to UCLA game let's Pack Carver!

 

[HawkBall23]

Didn't Bucknell used to be fairly decent, on yearly basis, in the semi-recent past?

Yep in tournament often as the auto bid.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Koch and Matteoni having some fun.

 

[HawkBall23]

If Bujiek doesn't play today, Bucknell only scores 30 pts all game - or LESS, not sure if he made any more shots than those three 3s.

I don't care how bad the opponent is, that's some fkn defense boyz!!

 

[2D]

Good win for the Hawks in Des Moines. They put on a show for the home town fans, which hopefully encourages them to visit CHA a few times this winter.

Had kids games today otherwise would be there so settled for UCLA game in Carver. Huge opportunity.

 

[HawkBall23]

Iowa outscored the Bison by 37 on points off turnovers.

That'll win ya a couple of games.
