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

[HawksRule25]

Thank goodness for defense and rebounding

It's the way Iowa gets back into this.

 

[Buffalo43]

We need the run once in a while

 

[HawksRule25]

BS is on the board. Iowa back to within 12.

 

[Denmar]

The pony tailed kid gives a little push on every screen he sets

 

[MAKhawks]

Nice bullet pass three feet away

 

[hawkeyewx]

C'mon, guys, wtf are you doing?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Damn, Folgers, he was 3 feet from you.

 

[Anon1751586422]

Holy lack of effort

 

[HawkBall23]

They need him for his *potential* shooting ability, but AF is a net negative.

Doesn't hustle, doesn't defend, so frustrating.

 

[Franisdaman]

25-9, ILLINI

8:38 to go

Time out IOWA

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

Serbian Nationals up.

20 year old freshman

Due to their size alone, I think driving to the lane is such a bad idea.

 

[MAKhawks]

Might have to find a different route.

 

[hawkeyewx]

One stupid, sloppy rebound and pass immediately leads to 4 easy Illinois points.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

I keep hearing how “tough” this group/coach is. I’ve yet to see it.

 

[HawksRule25]

Illinois run out and no resistance to the layup. Illini up 25-9 and Ben C calls another timeout.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Iowa being outrebounded 13-4

Illinois is so big. It looks like every guy on the court is 6'10.

 

[QChawks]

I really thought this team had a good chance to go .500 in the league

It’s still possible, but we’re gonna need a couple upsets somehow

 

[Rambler Hawk]

LOL - #0 uses his forearm as a battering Ram and then cries because his eye got nicked….

 

[2D]

Hawks can't even handle the ball correctly. We look like the local Y team against these guys.

 

[HawksRule25]

Illinois is so big. It looks like every guy on the court is 6'10.

They almost are!

 

[MAKhawks]

I can’t believe they haven’t mentioned Iowa players being under the weather.

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

Sneak in a 6th player?

 

[HawksRule25]

Banks is giving it his all.

 

[HawkBall23]

Stojakovic getting that layup off & in after Stirtz had the ball tied up is exactly the right example of how this game has gone and will go.

 

[PeteJox]

Great portal eval on hausen. How much we paying him to cheerlead?

 

[Rambler Hawk]

And 33 years old… really wish we would have landed that big kid who went to Minny…(we were in his final two)

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Brutal here. Lots of ILL INI crap chants.

 

[2212hawk2]

Maybe BM should take a few recruiting trips to Eastern Europe.

 

[MAKhawks]

Sneak in a 6th player?

Joey?

 

[Buffalo43]

That pocket pass Stirtz makes is a turnover waiting to happen

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Stojakovic getting that layup off & in after Stirtz had the ball tied up is exactly the right example of how this game has gone and will go.

Well, so far….

Legacy. This is his dad.

Beneti “The crowd is trying to get this team back in it”. I don’t know, Jason. I don’t think that they were.

 

[Denmar]

Put him in. He can’t play D any worse than what’s on the floor now.

 

[Hawkangler]

Illinois has European height mixed with US atheletes. Tough to beat that height.

 

[HawksRule25]

BS 3! Iowa down 13.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Tate might be the X Factor.

 

[MAKhawks]

More shoving from ponytail

 

[QChawks]

Ben has to get a couple bigs this off season

we are simply a live or die three-point shooting team
