*****Northwestern vs Iowa Game Thread*****

You know what they say in Ames.

Once a CLOWN always a CLOWN

He went 2-22 (0-18)

I think you have to try and accomplish that feat

 

[Sett1997]

This

They usually look like it tho. Til morning.

This is a FACT!

 

[Hawksfor3]

next year should be fun

 

[Rambler Hawk]

They aren't all pretty at closing time brother. Ya gotta take what you can get.

Great line/post!

Just win baby. Six in a row in conference . First time in a decade.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

We didn't poop our pants against Northwestern?............




WE'RE GONNA WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

 

[83Hawk]

All the blue hairs stay and let all the fair weather fans leave so the traffic is not as bad. They're smarter than he thinks. I always thought he was one of the blue hairs.

Truth be told….the biggest fans I’ve met at Hawk BB games are the so-called “blue hairs”.
I have found that the people who complain the most about them usually don’t go to very many games themselves.

NW had a chance with a minute left but Jake West did a heat check thinking he was Kam Woods

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

That was some good defense by Cooper

His defense hasn't been that bad, there just allowing Martinelli to bull his way in to contact even when Coop is vertical....

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Even with a win , this is pretty disappointing that NW is hanging in there this much and this closely.

This is a team (and coach) that just knows how to win. I'll take every one....

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Martinelli is one ugly dude

At least he shaved off the porn star stash he had earlier....

 

[Tippett1]

remembering back to BM/Drake games, close games tend to be a common occurrence. JMHO

Due to the style of game he wants. If they are not hitting shots, it tends to get dicey. His teams almost always get good shots each possession.

 

[Lindemann]

The clock should have stopped as normal. Just change the shot clock from 30 to 20 seconds. Shouldn’t take too long.

Yep, the 30 to 20 thing is what they were looking at.

 

[Hawksfor3]

These announcers are so bad, they've made the wrong call on who the foul was and completely ignored the first one and finally corrected the call because Howard fouled out.

I hope we don't get them for the Maryland game. Finally had to mute them.

 

[Hawksfor3]

These commentators are the worst I’ve heard in a while

The one that sealed the mute button deal for me was when we allowed a NW guy to straight line drive in for a dunk, and by the sound of it from the announcers, you'd think NW just won the Championship. And the guy barely cleared rim on that. SMH.

Yep. When Lil Lick dunked it, you’d have thought Northwestern came back to take the lead.

To be fair, the little guy “dunked it over” our 6’10” player. Although our player was rotating over away from his man and only was even in the frame at the last second because of his hustle.

The announcers acted like he jumped over the top of our player rather than our guy rotating just a little too late to have any shot at blocking it.

Nearly lost to last place team twice last year. There were lots of close wins.

 

[HawkInDenver]

Ended up much closer than I thought it would but I'll take the W.

Obviously, Stirtz carried the team today. Banks ended up with 13 mainly due to free throws, but nobody else ever got it going.

That guy West on NW had a solid game for a Freshman.

After the foul discrepancy in the first half, justified or not, you knew the refs would try to balance the fouls in the second half. Well they did and NW was in the bonus with around 10 mins to play.

Collins was in the refs ear all the way off the court at half time. Iowa took it to the rack in the first half, garnering a lot of calls. We missed a lot of layups because NW was very physical.

We walled up Martinelli well the shole game. He still got call where he initiated the contact.

Physical game with the Hawks winning in the paint.

Ben specifically called out Cooper Koch for his defense on Martinelli. Cooper has beefed up some and I find myself watching him on the defensive end. He has started to become an important piece especially as he gets more consistent hitting that corner three. I like that the Hawks can prevail now in a physical game.

 

[RuggieC]

I bet all the blue hairs are standing up at the top of carver, waiting to rush out

Eff you.....I was there...STANDING while many people were leaving that were much younger than me piss ant.

Due to the style of game he wants. If they are not hitting shots, it tends to get dicey. His teams almost always get good shots each possession.

Outside of BS they shot 36% from the field and 10% from 3.

Other guys need to step it up for sure. Hopefully just a one game deal.

 

[Ozzie89]

I was worried about this one. That game went as expected. Iowa was a little off coming off 2 big road wins. You knew NW would fight and make it tough after being embarrassed at Illinois. Got the win, on to the next.
