*****Iowa vs Clemson NCAAT Game Thread*****

[Lionhawk85]

It is painful to watch when the offense looks like this. When the Hawks are taking and hitting open shots it is a thing of beauty, but, when they stand and wait to defer to Stirtz it is beyond awful.

Also always feels like half the team has globetrotter music playing in their head when trying to make about 12 extra passes.

when they have a good shot, they have to take it rather than always be looking for “one more.”

i know it’s a fine line, but seems we get too cute too often.

I miss Fran as head coach.

Big time mistake by Beth, imho.

 

[MAKhawks]

Love the D. This lead is shaky though

The D looked a lot better when Clemson missed wide open shots.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

I hope we ratchet up the defense like we did vs Michigan….Clemson is definitely beatable if we clean up the sloppy turnovers. Really wish we would have hit that 3 before half…

 

[SA_Hawk]

This game is like a KF special that is 13-7 at half when it easily could be 27-7.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

DAMN BEN GET OFF THE COURT

all the time.

 

[HawkBall23]

Miami(OH) officially dead in the water, killed by Tennessee.



I KNEW THEY DIDN'T DESERVE A BID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HawkInDenver]

As long as we can continue to play good defense then I think we can get the W. Clemson is not that tall inside which is allowing us to limit their rebounding.

Clemson has some athletes and is considered a good defensive team. Apparently, they are ranked 21st nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency and allowing only 66.7 points per game. So, having a low scoring game is to be expected.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Like the teams Iowa struggled to beat this year? Somewhat kidding.

Unfortunately yes…

 

[HawkBall23]

Big time mistake by Beth, imho.

Beth, to Fran, after Iowa's exit in the BTT last season .......

 

[Hawksfor3]

Gonna be a hard fought 2nd half. Hold on to your seats.

This slop reminds me why I don’t watch basketball anymore. College basketball coaches make millions watching tall lanky guys play pickup games.

Only 3 team assists for Iowa at halftime.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Again we use nearly the entire shot clock in our half court and yet rarely get a really good shot.

But hey Bennett can dribble side to side off of fake/slip screens 10 ft beyond the 3 pt line really well. We've got that down pat..........

 

[JerseyCityHawk]

I don’t give a **** if they win BT one or 20 I just want the DUB that’s all

 

[longliveCS40]

Candace Parker. Great player. Terrible analyst.

 

[HawkBall23]

jfc, lady.

Did you really say "with that smooth as Butta shot ..." right to his face.

 

[QChawks]

Stirtz

 

[JerseyCityHawk]

“Butta Johnson” lmfao

 

[HawkBall23]

Stirtzy3!!!!!

 

[HawksRule25]

Manyawu swat!

 

[longliveCS40]

Manyawu has played very good defense today.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Clemson didn’t have the worst start tonight: UNI down 16-2 to St. John’s.

Tbf, nobody picked UNI in their brackets so they won't lose much sleep if they don't pull off the upset.

 

[HawksRule25]

Purdue up 9 and UCLA up 10 early.

 

[longliveCS40]

Combs with a bad start to the second half.

 

[HawkBall23]

No wonder Clemson sucks tonight.

HEY DABO!!!!!!!

 

[HawkBall23]

BS on that call, just cause he missed.

screw you, stripes

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

It begins

 

[MFinn]

Double dribble?

 

[Hawksfor3]

I don’t give a **** if they win BT one or 20 I just want the DUB that’s all

 

[HawkinAnk74]

She had a butter face......

 

[MAKhawks]

Cam May have got away with one there

 

[hawkeyewx]

This is not a fun game to watch.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Thought that was going to be a bad screen

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Would Godfrey even be honorable mention all BT?

 

[DTP2]

9 point lead and it is brutal to watch.
