*****Oregon vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[QChawks]

8pm FS1

The ducks (14-4, 2-3) come to town to tackle the Hawkeyes (14-2, 5-0). Oregon is coming off a close loss at home against Sparty , while the hawks narrowly escaped Indy with a win.

Last years game in Eugene was brutal with Iowa losing 50-49 and they scored only 15 points in the second half.

I expect a better performance tonight in Carver. This Iowa team has been on the struggle bus recently and Oregon is desperate for a quality road victory. I like the hawks in another close game 77-69.

Actually they do have a quality road win when they beat USC in Los Angeles.

Last years team was playing about like this years team the last couple of games. They lost 5 or 6 in a row last year if I remember right. Thankfully they haven't done that this year. I think they'll play much better tonight

We saw the worst version of this team in the first half against Indiana. Thay were flat, methodical, and content to play a half court game. That style does not suit Stremlow, Ava, or Stuelke. In order to excel, this team needs a little chaos. And, that chaos is usually generated at the defensive end. I hope to see some agressive defense in order to kick start our offense.

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

 

[QChawks]

Kylen Mills & Nicole Cardaño-Hillary on the call tonight

Fast chaotic game will favor Oregon with their athleticism. I think it will be about possessions (few turnovers) and being deliberate and accurate/efficient at the post (Heiden).

I'm really curious to see how Iowa plays it. Gotta win this home game.

 

[Hawkeye_Miguel]

Hoping for a big game from Ava against her home state. She should have a matchup advantage

 

[o_jedn]

I’ve watched a few of their games on tape and their athleticism is no better than ours.

Agree. Hope the home state angle doesn't amp her up too much. The normal Ava has plenty of amp.

Interesting. The game I watched, I saw a lot of players on the court that could dribble and create. Not saying Iowa doesn't have any of that, but they don't typically play at the same tempo as Oregon. We'll see, I guess. Almost game time.

 

[Iowameat]

Go Hawks!

 

[The Big Z]

Can we start with the Stuelke hasn’t improved in 4 years before the game starts? No reason to wait.

Only if we can include the Jan can’t make any coaching changes with it!

CC is Iowas only reliable ball handler. Deal
Handles the ball really well but struggles with decision making.

if Iowa is gonna insist on playing a half court, pound it inside game then they have to limit turnovers.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Lack of perimeter and wing firepower is so discouraging. Oregon is collapsing big time in D

 

[The Big Z]

Heiden playing way to fast, McCabe rarely gets her feet set but great start defensively.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Ugly start. Jan special.

play Deal.

 

[2212hawk2]

Hays is struggling.

 

[WDSMHawk]

I don't know if putting Layla in a frantic up and down game is a good fit.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Good thing Oregon is starting so slow.

Just another sloppy start for Iowa, as well.

 

[AFM22]

Chit Chat’s fall looked really painful. Hope she’s okay.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

That's not pretty basketball. Got to good spots, didn't finish.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Hays is struggling.

I don’t get the playing time. Just not skilled enough.

 

[Allaroundfan]

I don't know if putting Layla in a frantic up and down game is a good fit.

Thinking Jan needed to calm Ava down, little hyper playing home state? Went up too strong on both her misses.

It’s the differed between skill and athleticism.

 

[Jonesy5960]

Phew. Ava back in

 

[longliveCS40]

Good to see Deal get some playing time and make a three.

 

[longliveCS40]

Deal looking good!

 

[Demger]

Keep, going, inside.

 

[Hawk48]

Ava a little too pumped up but starting to settle in IMO.

 

[longliveCS40]

Keep, going, inside.

If Ava gets position, it's automatic.

 

[IowaCityLit]

Keep, going, inside.

No no no

Force it and pay the price. Gotta find perimeter firepower

 

[longliveCS40]

Still need to go inside but kick it out against the zone. Make them work on defense.

 

[Amahawk]

Thankfully Oregon is colder than Iowa.

 

[Hawk48]

Deal really playing well

 

[The Big Z]

Leave Deal in please.

[Jonesy5960]

Hawks are rolling right now.
