*****Iowa vs Michigan St Game Thread****^

[Buffalo43]

5 of 20 from 3

 

[longliveCS40]

Yeah those are really bad stats. First game I’ve watched, this could be a long year

Playing a really good team on the road. You're going to see a lot of Big Ten teams lose like this at Michigan State.

 

[Buffalo43]

No hausen in 2nd half wtf

 

[Hawksfor3]

Need to order some bigger weights for next summer’s workouts!

If guys hang around after this year, we will be better. We have 3 seniors with one being a 5th year player. Need size.

 

[Moral]

I just hope they keep it under 20.

 

[biggreydogs_rivals]

Not your night when a post banks a 3

 

[longliveCS40]

Howard 1 on 3 with a circus shot is probably not going to help.

 

[Burghawk87]

Here come the fair weather comments...

Huh? This is Drake wearing a different jersey. Idk how that's a fair weather comment. Better (and worse) Iowa teams have been walloped in the Breslin center before. They definitely look out of sorts and outmatched.

They’re good, not great. I’m still hoping we have a bubble team

 

[Denmar]

Maybe Ben should teach jumping for a rebound. Not getting many standing flat footed.

 

[Whtnhawk]

No hausen in 2nd half wtf

And he was our leading scorer at half.

 

[Jonesy5960]

I just hope they keep it under 20.

Is there some kind of prize for that I'm unaware of?

Ranked 7th in the country. I would call that pretty great.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Terrible showing. Knocked them down a few notches. Woof

#7 in the country and the just boat raced NC…

I just think it would be better for their confidence.

Hausen needs to play more. We need some offense. Our defense breaks down at end of shot clock too much.

 

[Hawk48]

Please dont be another Lickliter era

oh come on..............

 

[Manfredi]

Not sure what some of you expected, but Iowa is a work in progress. MSU is very seasoned and good team on their house Iowa was/is intimidated, not surprising.

A first year coach with 1 returning player in his first big 10 game...at Izzo State...I mean maybe early to be thinking we are trash

 

[AFM22]

I just think it would be better for their confidence.

If you took away their 20 free throws they'd still be winning.

His defense sucks. That's why Ben hasn't played him much.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Yeah, I was hoping he'd get back in. 7 min.

 

[Hawkeye1984]

Rolling the ball up the court when you are up by 20 is probably the most classless thing you can do to an opponent.

 

[Moral]

If you took away their 20 free throws they'd still be winning.

That's right. The refs did this to us.

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

Yeah, that was ugly. Can’t miss a shot much worse than that.

 

[Buffalo43]

Folgarius is playing like he was recruited by Robet Morris very disappointed in his outing

 

[Ollie4ISU]

Especially with the 2 hour layover in DeKalb to take on more coal and water...

That's well played

 

[Sett1997]

Rebounds 16-35. MSU 20-21 FT % 95

 

[AFM22]

That's right. The refs did this to us.

I think if you follow the problems back to the roots, Gary Barta is likely to blame for this.

 

[BioHawk2]

Terrible showing. Knocked them down a few notches. Woof

It did, but there's a lot to learn from this game. We'll get to see just how good of a coach we have. I know this team is good. I feel like they can compete with most teams athletically. But there is a mental aspect that I don't think they have yet to grind through those teams. But that's why you play these games because you will never develop it if you don't play the games. Hopefully they can do it quickly. I've seen it happen before so it is possible.

 

[Buffalo43]

This team plays great defense but offense is a bad

 

[Moral]

The gift that keeps on giving.

The gift that keeps on giving.

If you're looking for something better than this game, I made a new poll about butt holes on the off topic board.

 

[Moral]

Why are they cheering on this man playing in his pants.

 

[Demger]

Yeah, that was ugly. Can’t miss a shot much worse than that.

Our best player did it earlier but missed.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Oh well. We're still a women's basketball school. I don't see them getting boatraced like this this year.

 

[HawksRule25]

Barry Sanders' kid into the game for MSU!

 

[Sett1997]

I'm not hanging it up because we got torched at MSU in our first conference game. Michigan State is a legit Elite 8 Final four team.

 

[AFM22]

Oh well. We're still a women's basketball school. I don't see them getting boatraced like this this year.

Well, we have UConn in a few weeks.
