*****IL-Springfield vs Iowa Exh. Game Thread*****

[Hawksfor3]

Good thing its just an exhib. Those first 5 minutes were ugggly, aside from Howard's trey.

So far, it's the Howard/Combs show.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Rough start for the Hawks.

Coleman definitely has some jets even though he couldn't convert on that last drive. Surprised to see Peyton M in so early.

 

[Andrewrayhons]

And I thought I paid for a sub to BTN+ to not have ads. But now they have ads?

 

[QChawks]

Looks about half full

 

[Hawksfor3]

Comfortable looking 3 from McCollum.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

We see you Peyton, very nice 3 ball...

 

[Ozzie89]

Howard you’ve gotta knock those down

 

[HAWKNESS]

Very early impression is I'm worried about the level of talent this team has or doesn't have

 

[QChawks]

I think the 10th place league finish might be a stretch

 

[Hawksfor3]

Great pressure defense by the Hawks.

 

[HawkBall23]

Nice stretch there from Manyawu, on both ends

 

[Hawksfor3]

Definitely a quicker pace from last year.

 

[Manfredi]

Great pressure defense by the Hawks.

Especially McCollum

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

One of Koch or Sage need to make a leap

 

[QChawks]

16-9 hawks

 

[Andrewrayhons]

Dude, the kid chucking it from half court. Woof.

 

[2212hawk2]

7’3” and misses a dunk. Yikes.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Jirak is looking much quicker with some nifty moves / passes.

 

[Hawksfor3]

7’3” and misses a dunk. Yikes.

But, a nice result for Coop.

 

[Phat Stax]

Textbook 3-on-1 fastbreak there.

 

[HawkBall23]

Forget the offense.

The defense needs a lot of work to get to the usual BM standards.

Lots of open looks for UIS in this first half.

 

[Hawksfor3]

47/45/60% for Iowa.

 

[HawkBall23]

So I'm guessing its not a great thing that we haven't seen any of last season's RS FR, Coon or the kid from Washington yet, huh?

 

[QChawks]

Maybe UIS is really good

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hawks 7 points off 6 UIS TO's.

 

[Hawksfor3]

7 assisted buckets for Iowa to 3 for UIS. Sharing is caring.

 

[MacMiney]

So I'm guessing its not a great thing that we haven't seen any of last season's RS FR, Coon or the kid from Washington yet, huh?

My guess - BM trying some combinations and experimenting cause exh game. Not reading too much into any of this, except I like the pace.

 

[QChawks]

McKeever is a presence for sure

 

[Hawksfor3]

I'll say this. Payton Mac is impressing me with his defense.

 

[QChawks]

Coleman seems to have good handles

not sure he will provide a ton of scoring though

 

[RuggieC]

Can't believe all of the negative comments already......how soon we forget.

 

[HAWKNESS]

So I'm guessing its not a great thing that we haven't seen any of last season's RS FR, Coon or the kid from Washington yet, huh?

Really suprised regarding Trey. I figured he'd be big part of rotation

 

[QChawks]

36-24

11/25 shooting

woof

 

[HawkBall23]

I really hope that last 'shot' by Coleman was meant to be another alley oop attempt for Coon.

If not .....

 

[Hawksfor3]

There you go, Jaidyn lol.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Coon might be our new Tyler Cook.

 

[QChawks]

42-28 half

lots of work needed

 

[Hawksfor3]

Our foul shooting might be bad, but it sure is atrocious.

 

[HawkBall23]

Free throws.

Wooooof!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Hawksfor3]

50/38/56% at the half for the Hawks.
