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

[QChawks]

8pm BTN

the fighting Illini (19-8, 9-7) visit Carver to tackle the Hawkeyes (22-5, 13-3).

Illinois is riding a 3 games winning streak, although they were all teams in the bottom of the league. They have certainly played better at home than in the road.

Hawks seem to have found their groove again, I’m seeing a 83-67 victory.

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

How does Iowa guard Wallace and Parchment? Both with range to 3. Zone?

It could be a rock fight with those two, but scissors might work well against Parchment.

Jan doesn’t play much zone. Doubtful. We just held a much better Michigan team in the 40’s playing man.

Michigan doesn't have bigs who shoot the 3 well, at relatively high volume. Illinois has 2. A different matchup. Bigs who shoot the 3 can be a problem for Stuelke and Heiden. Interested to see how Stuelke and Heiden matchup defensively tonight.

Might see a lot of Journey just for perimeter D.

Yep, just as it will interesting to see how they handle the high low of Hannah/Ava.....

Exactly. They have to guard us as well.

Game plan is pretty simple: stop (limit) Parchment. deeper bench - ball hawk and run them weary.

I'm overlooking both Illinois and Wisconsin.

Good thing I'm not playing huh?

 

[Iowameat]

Go Hawks!

15 minutes out, gonna be a late drive back but for $20 a ticket...had to. Go Hawks!

pics?

 

[Franisdaman]

Guessing this is an NIL deal, similar to what you see w/ the WNBA, NFL, etc.

 

[QChawks]

Hannah hurt

 

[Iowameat]

Shake it off. Hannah

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

**** that could be bad for HS

 

[QChawks]

Iowa defense has been so good

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

How exactly is that determined to be a foul on Houston? Just clueless officiating

 

[QChawks]

dumb turnovers

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

dumb turnovers

That one by Ava is about the worst that you'll ever see.

Falling asleep

 

[QChawks]

Guyton schooling Stremelow

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Looked like we thought it was going to be easy and let Illinois right back in it. On a 9-0 run.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Iowa one dimensional. It will lower their ceiling. Just not enough wing and perimeter firepower at times. Wright struggling

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

HS is in! Thank goodness

 

[HawksRule25]

**** that could be bad for HS

she is back in the game.

Illinois was playing some really physical defense on her.

Magically not called for a single foul yet. MAGIC I tell you

 

[QChawks]

HS is in! Thank goodness

Kylie

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

ZERO help defense there.... WTF was that

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Are we gonna win?...........

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Would like to see a replay of that foul on HS.

Announcers just talked right through it.

Thought it might be a flop
