Defense just looks horrendous. Illinois getting easy layups every time down the floor now. Maybe the team is worn out. Who knows. Better wake up quickly.

 

[WestCoastHawkI]

Dumb ******* possession banks.

 

[hawkeyewx]

And now Iowa can't foul so they can't play quite as good defense.

 

[MFinn]

8 on 5 has taken its toll. Need to regroup and focus.

 

[jwgohawks]

Game over

Not yet, hang tough

 

[Jonesy5960]

Game over

Of course Mr Positive.

 

[Demger]

This is how Nebby felt yesterday. About the same time and a similar run.

 

[HoggI74]

Game over

You are so weak...

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Yeah, can’t have Banks miss that.

Win or die by the three. Bombs awayyyyy

 

[herkhatescy2]

Got em right where we want em.

 

[HawkBall23]

we just keep getting shoved under our own basket

Hard to effectively block out when the opposition is allowed to bully you out of position just about every time

we have no answer for their size

 

[hawkeyewx]

We need to have Koch and Stirtz shooting threes, not Combs.

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

Banks has got to understand that’s not a high percentage play.

Iowa just has no answer for Illinois’s size.

 

[DuddyB]

Tough to win if you’re going to let the bigger team be more physical from an officiating standpoint

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Not even close to straight up. Just wow

F these announcers…they are pulling for the Illini….what a f’ing joke

 

[Hawk48]

They are not going to give Iowa a chance to win this playing BBall. EFFING BS!!!

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

That's game, valiant effort against the overseas professionals.

 

[Jonesy5960]

We need to have SAGE, Koch and Stirtz shooting threes, not Combs.

FIFY...

 

[HawkeyeFever]

Not calling fouls on Illinois now? Just on Iowa. Gotcha

 

[Hawkedup]

The height advantage is finally getting the best of us.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Come on guys. Lots of time.

BRING IT HOME!!!

 

[longliveCS40]

Time out one possession too late. Danger zone

My one knock on Ben so far is that he let's momentum go too long without calling a timeout. But hard to complain about anything he's done.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Howard should not come back in…

 

[stillh8unlv]

I see the refs still suck

 

[NIhawk79]

Banks not finishing is killing us

Difference from Florida game

 

[cfhawk22]

We need a little run. Lets Go.

 

[Franisdaman]

size matters

 

[RagnarLothbrok]

We need to have Koch and Stirtz shooting threes, not Combs.

I might be tempted to put in Hausen. See if he can be a surprise spark.

Not really much Iowa has in the way of options.

 

[MAKhawks]

Not calling fouls on Illinois now? Just on Iowa. Gotcha

Did the entire first half. Why not now?

 

[QChawks]

it was a great run boyz

 

[Iowameat]

Well not looking goog

 

[longliveCS40]

Out of a timeout. Just the worst possible turnover by Stirtz.

 

[HawkBall23]

That might have just done it, ILL up 7 now ...........

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Hooked Sage's arm on the screen... Play on

 

[Demger]

Need to double down when their bigs get the ball. They are going to bang and get a foul or back them into the lane for a bucket.

 

[Hawksbyamillion_rivals316961]

Missing easy and can't rebound. Dear sweet baby jesus, give us the first five minutes for the last five

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Desperation?!?!?! wtf?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Out of a timeout. Just the worst possible turnover by Stirtz.

Was going to get blocked...
