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

[2D]

This is the second game in a row where we've looked better with Bennett being out. Just wish we had hit that damn alley oop.

 

[im4hawks50595]

illiiwhine th only 2 fouls the second half yeah right seem legit

 

[Hawksfor3]

We can do this, dammit!! lol.

 

[MAKhawks]

I am starting to really dislike AF's attitude on the court.

Come the F on, man!!!!!!!!!

Show the slightest bit of hustle and MAKE THE SIMPLE PLAYS!!


Gave ILL another easy shot at 2nd chance points by not making the slightest effort to grab the rebound inches away from him.

Whipped the bullet pass earlier to Howard and then blames Howard for not catching it. It was a horrible pass in that situation.

 

[HawkBall23]

For all who say it happens so rarely.

Section B
Row 13

Hawks cut it to 7.

"SiT dOwN!!!!"

And people wonder why Carver is usually not filled to capacity and a place that is fitting for the home team to get support.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

They called Sage for tripping his own guy!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Life on the road again....

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Finally the THIRD foul on Illinois

 

[HawksRule25]

Damn. Another good look missed. Defense!

 

[MAKhawks]

AA just beat like a part time job

 

[HawkBall23]

I would not be sad if AF hardly seen any court time for the next few games.

He isn't even providing barely squat on the offensive side.


Get Hausen in for him!!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Bailout.

 

[2D]

Yeah, I'd say that air ball just about does it.

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

3rd foul on Illinois

 

[Buffalo43]

Game over can't go down by 10-15 to start games

 

[Hawksfor3]

Get STOPS!

 

[HawksRule25]

Stirtz to Banks to Stirtz for 2.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

WTF Banks.... Let them roll it to the half court, the get SMOKED off the dribble.

Bad IQ

 

[Hawksfor3]

 

[TampaHawkFan]

WTF.. whole team just stands there and watches the guy score.

 

[2D]

That Illinois freshman has had some really ill-advised shots.

 

[HawksRule25]

Banks jam! and Iowa within 4 with 1:47 left!

 

[longliveCS40]

Defense is failing here late. Allowing layups.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

So we traded high level (not elite) offense and shameful defense that would make bad JV high school squads blush, for high level (borderline elite) defense and Lickliter level offense.............

 

[hawkeyewx]

What the heck, Iowa???? Illinois guard drives from 30 feet and nobody tries to stop him?

 

[Buffalo43]

Lay up drill

 

[doughuddl2_rivals]

Game over can't go down by 10-15 to start games

You calling it now?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

ZERO Iowa player steps in to help.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

And they call that foul!?!?

 

[2D]

Tavion Banks has been a bright spot on both sides of the floor.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Refs terrible

 

[HawksRule25]

Hawks to within 4 with 1:15 left.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Banks = a slightly shorter Tyler Cook?

 

[MAKhawks]

And they call that foul!?!?

Illinois hasn’t done that at all today

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Illinois has a great home whistle.

Impressive

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Okay finally got a friendly call

 

[HawkBall23]

Bad shot by Stirtz and bailed out by the travel on the rebound by ILL.


Someone said it earlier, but gotta stop getting behind by 16+ in the first half.

Can't win B1G games that way, even at home.

 

[MAKhawks]

Hook and hold on IL

 

[2D]

Was Bennett fishing for FTs there?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Was Bennett fishing for FTs there?

Looked like it. Not a good look.

 

[HawkBall23]

Sideshow Bob hooked & held Sage, but they won't call it correctly on the review.
