*****Ohio St vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[2D]

yippee, we actually finished the first half on a positive note!

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

SIT DOWN!!!

Nope been standing most of game and we loud for a small crowd

 

[Mitch122_rivals]

After the first 5 minutes, never would have guessed this would be the halftime score!

 

[bansheexyz]

This defense is the anti-fran.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Hey guys just now getting a chance to join in. Ugly start again now kicking butt!
What's the attendance tonight, good crowd?
Edit: Just saw the post above on attendance.

9k tops here we small but mighty

 

[Hawksfor3]

Aaron White is what they're missing. Rebounder and inside scoring threat. Athlete.

Woody could protect the rim. Can he come back (for a bit)?

 

[Hawklove]

game of runs

Holy ****, man!

 

[Franisdaman]

down 12

up 14 at the half

crazy

 

[Hawksfor3]

I

You said "I" which is AYE (or eye) lol.

 

[Hawk48]

Hawks need to do their best to balloon this lead as much as they can before halftime, because once Thornton wakes up in the 2nd half ......

agreed, Thorton will take over second half for OSU, better be prepared he is that good IMO

 

[HawkBall23]

This defense is the anti-fran.

To be frankly fair, ANY defense at all is the anti-Fran.

 

[HuskerTherapist]

agreed that one guy's voice is terrible for announcing

I don’t understand the B1Gs fascination with hiring USC and UCLA dorks to color comment games and pre/post game shows. Find other people

 

[Skydog0784a!]

Combs with one of his best half of basketball of the season. Solid offensively and great defensively - especially when he was on Thornton.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Not sure I've seen a game flip on its head more than that first half.

OSU couldn't miss and we didn't know how offense worked.

Then BANG

 

[Hawksfor3]

Considering how the game started for the first 5 minutes, 37-23 feels like 52-23 right now.

Start the 2nd half the way you finished the 1st, boys!!!

@LFG!!!!!!!!!!!

Best part is that no pre-half run was given up.

 

[Sett1997]

Wow! Thornton 0 points!

A couple of kids in front of us want to stand and they keep looking around….

I said you stand and I’ll stand but you’re fighting the blue hairs by yourself. You’re on your own.

 

[Manfredi]

Shooting 54% with only 2 turnovers...that's a winning formula. OSU is lucky they are 5-9 from 3 or they would really be in trouble.

 

[2D]

Wow! Thornton 0 points!

I get a feeling that will change in the 2nd half.

 

[Franisdaman]

Are you thinking what @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset is thinking?

 

[Franisdaman]

This defense is the anti-fran.

 

[HawkBall23]

First time since December '24 that Thornton was held scoreless in any half.

Iowa D ...

 

[Manfredi]

Michigan vs OSU women going to overtime...big game

 

[DTP2]

I vote for more 35-9 runs.

 

[Franisdaman]

To be frankly fair, ANY defense at all is the anti-Fran.

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Not gonna lie, when it was 2-14, I started looking for something else to watch for my viewing pleasure.

[MAXIMUSHAWKEYE]

Aaron White is what they're missing. Rebounder and inside scoring threat. Athlete.

And he could shoot the 3. Koch stands around alot

+18 for Big Al

This isn't a Fran coached team. Iowa also has a Stirtz, who can and does, like to score (at least according to OPs mom).

 

[Franisdaman]

Ohio State has a nice, modern arena & tons of resources. Why they are not a power in MBB is a head scratcher.

 

[HoxSox]

Ultimately got 2 points on that trip, but STOP PASSING UP OPEN SHOTS, AF!!

Folgers in your cup leads the team with 3 assists

The doubles on Bruce really threw them off.

He just needs 5 more points for double figure and an Iowa win.

 

[HawkBall23]

Oh B3nny boy!!

 

[longliveCS40]

Stirtz is ridiculous

 

[Franisdaman]

Stirtz is filthy
