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

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Tell you what - Stirtz is a pure bucket-getter but his decision-making is suspect.

 

[QChawks]

no foul??

of course

 

[maxpain]

How the f is that not a foul on the Sage drive? Gtfo

 

[longliveCS40]

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.

Yeah you simply have to make them shoot jumpers. If they beat you shooting threes so be it.

 

[HawkeyeFever]

How was that not a foul? And then the dagger?

 

[2D]

Can't get stops, cooled off on offense. Can't get rebounds. We'll need a miracle.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Sage..... HAMMERED

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

Not allowed to win

 

[MAKhawks]

Sage ******* hammered

 

[Iowameat]

**** these refs

 

[hawkeyewx]

What's the point of driving inside at all? Everything gets blocked.

 

[Manfredi]

 

[longliveCS40]

Nothing matters at this point if the refs aren't going to call fouls on that. Got ******* clobbered.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

8v5 too much

 

[QChawks]

congrats Illinois

Don’t forget to tip those refs

 

[HawkBall23]

NO FOUL!!?!?!!?!?

thanks refs.

Eat a bag of dicks and choke on all of them!!!!

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Howard absolutely blows

 

[herkhatescy2]

Looks like the refs are going to get their victory.

 

[Demger]

need to take it to their body for contact.

 

[GeorgePeeples2]

Just need 3 or 4 threes and couple of stops.
Let’s go Hawks.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

Illinois is just too well-rounded.

All their players on the court are good.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

Good run hawks. I’m not ready for it to end

 

[longliveCS40]

Was going to get blocked...

Right. So he shouldn't have tried to shoot.

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Correction….fouled/hacked…

 

[DuddyB]

Of course we won’t see a replay. Looked like he got fouled.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Refs and NCAA getting cold feet. Would rather bail out Brad Underwood than let Iowa get to the Final Four.

Sad

 

[herkhatescy2]

Howard absolutely blows

No you blow.

 

[UIAlumFireFighter]

need to take it to their body for contact.

Don’t even take it inside. But it’s too late.

 

[HawkeyeFever]

Completely different set of rules in the 2nd half.

 

[hawkeyewx]

Not a coincidence that the offense going down the toilet has hurt Iowa's defensive effort as well.

 

[Hawkedup]

Meh, no answer whatsoever for their size. Great run though. Not even mad. First elite 8 in almost 40 years. Hopefully it’s not another 40. We need a big in the off season though.

 

[TweeterHawk]

WE CANNOT DRIVE AND TRY TO SCORE WHEN THEY’RE COLLAPSING THREE BIGS! Drive and kick out to Bennett or Koch

 

[JerseyCityHawk]

Ain’t going to happen tonight but what a great season… I hope I am wrong but down 8… yikes

 

[Tom Paris]

That’s twice where Iowa got fouled going to the rim with a no call and a BS jump ball.

 

[MAKhawks]

Illinois is just too well-rounded.

All their players on the court are good.

Helps getting every single whistle too.

 

[HoggI74]

We need good AF and unfortunately he was off today...

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Illinois has absolutely owned Iowa the last five years and it is getting old.

 

[Hawk48]

He’s a bum this game

The only thing you can count is AF and TB being inconsistent.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Illinois is just too well-rounded.

All their players on the court are good.

Yeah well ya know what, they should stop f***ing playing well.

 

[Anon1755405505]

Their inside game makes about 3 Iowa players non-existent on the offensive end.
