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

[Manfredi]

They just said the 1 or 2 seed has won the last 11 Big 10 tournaments. You hear that Michigan...do the right thing....keep the streak alive.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

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

And playing D. Deals defense is WAY better then early in the year.....

 

[IowaCityLit]

Still too methodical a pace at times. Feel like this team could get some easy baskets in transition.

Iowa 4 of the last 6?

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Deal needs to watch a lot of Stremlow tape. She forces the action way too often. She’ll be awesome once the game slows down for her.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

I thought live it was off them. Not so sure.

 

[Manfredi]

Wallace with 3

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Does Ava have 4 blocks?

 

[Anon1750875978]

Missed layup...drink!

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

If you don't love Taylor Stremlow you don't love the Hawks.

 

[Manfredi]

So Illinois...you wanted a rematch huh

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

Beautiful basketball tonight.

 

[QChawks]

Streme

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

Illini now 2-12 from three.
So sad.

 

[Hawk48]

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

as Reggie Jackson said, I am the straw that stirs the drink, Stremlow

 

[Old_wrestling_fan2]

Beautiful basketball tonight.

Correct...many positives on display by pretty much every Hawk.

Oh, I almost forgot...FIRE JAN JENSEN!!

/sarc

 

[BubsFinn]

Illinois is 2 for 12 from the three point line.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

If you don't love Taylor Stremlow you don't love the Hawks.

Tonight she is perfection, playing at a 9. When she dials it up to a 10 trying Caitlin stuff she makes dumb mistakes. She is in a zone and if she just stays in the groove she could make a lot of money professionally.

 

[BubsFinn]

Yeah, she dragged her pivot foot. Quite a bit.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Rough day for Hays.

 

[BubsFinn]

Nice pass!

 

[Hawksfor3]

 

[Buffalo43]

Well oiled machine

 

[Buffalo43]

Layla is afraid to shoot a 5 footer wide open

 

[Manfredi]

That Heiden girl is not half bad

 

[QChawks]

That would be a great pass, Addie

if only Ava was 7 feet tall

 

[Hawksfor3]

Pickpocket Houston!

 

[Anon1750875978]

The effort is there from Deal.

 

[BubsFinn]

Playing with a lot of effort tonight. I like what I'm seeing.

 

[Buffalo43]

Deal has a weird hitch in her 3 point shot

 

[Manfredi]

Journey Rodman is a helluva rebounder

 

[Hawksfor3]

Deeeep 3 by Chit Chat!

 

[Manfredi]

Shoot that Chit

 

[Buffalo43]

20th illegal screen tonight

 

[Manfredi]

Stop screening...it's a foul every time

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

Good 3rd quarter.

 

[vamchawk]

20th illegal screen tonight

and maybe 5 were actually moving/illegal.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Wright shooting looks like it’s back like earlier in the season. That would be huge going forward.

 

[Gonzo_Bloor]

Journey Rodman is a helluva rebounder

She plays so much bigger than 5'11-6'0.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

I feel like the refs have psychotically shifted from the physical abuse they allowed against Caitlin in the WVU game in the tourney. Every player in that game for WVU would have fouled out in the first half. Don’t hate it and wish the W would follow suit.
