*****Illinois vs Iowa BTT Game Thread*****

Illinois 1-7 from three.

 

[Manfredi]

Illinois 1-7 from three.

As they should

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Illinois 1-7 from three.

Is that better or worse than 9-9 like their last half?

 

[longliveCS40]

Deal is getting to good spots but can't get the shots down.

Yeah. I hope she gets it going. She's kind of the X factor if she can start playing as well as she did for a stretch earlier in the year.

Illinois 1-7 from three.

 

[Hawk48]

Deal probably got away with an offensive foul and then missed the bunny.

Not sure where Deal's head is but it is not in the game IMO

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Big swat by deal.

 

[longliveCS40]

Kate and Gabbie

THATS NOT A MOVING SCREEN!!

 

[longliveCS40]

Stremlow with the absolute DIME!

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

I see the refs feel bad for Illinois already. Lot of mugging going on

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Taylor Stremlow is a magician - a great line and so true!

 

[longliveCS40]

Houston threeeeee

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

Bury them!!!!

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Houston 3!

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Refs are obsessed with calling moving screens on ball screens. Kinda funny

 

[Skydog0784a!]

If Journey can add the 3 ball consistently to her arsenal, watch out!

 

[Manfredi]

Ohio St vs Minnesota had 19 total fouls called in a physical game. Amazing how differently refs call games

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

So we aren't going to call the obvious double dribble?

 

[longliveCS40]

Turnover with 5 seconds left. Really bad closeout to the half but still playing well.

 

[Anon1750875978]

20 point lead without missed layups.

 

[Demger]

No rotation to help on D at least 3 times. Usually not an issue.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Nearly perfect half, we got a bit sloppy with the turnovers at the end - that’s all we need to shore up a bit.

Nearly hit the 3 too. That would have sucked for an otherwise great 1st half

 

[vamchawk]

Good to see Chit Chat is back to her regular self!

Break me off a bit of that Chit Chat bar

 

[Demger]

Deal seemed to turn the corner a few games ago....... and I'm not sure where that mojo streak has gone. Could really use a physical player like her to step up if Hannah isn't 100% going deep into March Madness.

 

[Manfredi]

Nearly perfect half, we got a bit sloppy with the turnovers at the end - that’s all we need to shore up a bit.

Parchment, Wallace and Heiden all with 2 fouls. Hopefully Ava doesn't pick up a 3rd early. Holding any team to 23 points in a half is great.

 

[AFM22]

Real fun half. That no look under the legs and then the pass back for the layup should be on all highlight reels.

Men and Women's teams always seem to give up a late run or a last second shot before half!!

 

[AFM22]

What a difference it makes when Ava doesn’t get back to back early charges

 

[Manfredi]

Real fun half. That no look under the legs and then the pass back for the layup should be on all highlight reels.

Several flashy passes by Stremlow were sweet. Just need as a team to stop bounce passing into traffic.

[Kceasthawk@77]

Let's get Parchment her 3rd foul early

Let's get Parchment her 3rd foul early

She should have had at least 4 in the first half. The refs let her go on a couple of over the backs in the 2Q

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

What is Kylie thinking trying to force a pass into a double team?

What is Kylie thinking trying to force a pass into a double team?

about 50% of the time she does the same thing.....

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Another rough day.

Another rough day.

She's made a couple of nice passes and played some tough D though. Ate brown or Jackson up in that 1 on 1 drive to the hoop,,,

 

[RuggieC]

Not sure where Deal's head is but it is not in the game IMO

Playing good defense. Offense is shaky.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Just had suppah while watchin' the game. Good game for the Hawks. AD struggling, except for passing. Glad Illini missing 3's.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

THATS NOT A MOVING SCREEN!!

NO, it was not....

 

[RuggieC]

Let’s play a clean second half. Fewer turnovers. Good entry passes. Move the ball and keep going with the tough defense. Don’t give them life is Q3.
