*****Purdue vs Iowa Game Thread*****

[doughuddl2_rivals]

Looks like Fran's 3pt D. ****

 

[Hawklove]

This is terrible coaching. Great defense my foot!

 

[longliveCS40]

Allow wide open threes every possession.

 

[Hootie LaRue]

Allow wide open threes every possession.

The defense is getting taken apart.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

They missed.

Holy cow this is a bad week.

 

[Buffalo43]

Well we are terrible on defense and just as bad on offense

 

[Whtnhawk]

Ben.
This kind of performance ain't going to fill seats.

 

[kwik44]

Dogshit. Braden smith is a dbag btw.

 

[DuddyB]

First time in a long time I’ve completely given up and quit watching with 14+ minutes left. Absolutely pathetic effort.

 

[longliveCS40]

Stirtz with 4 fouls. He's getting torched.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Ben laying down on the court 90% of the time is weird now that we're at it

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

about that defense Ben teaches....

When you don't have an athlete on the team that can stop a PG like Purdue has.... It's good night.

Scrambling to help and he's just carving us up. Sagging to help and WIDE open 3s

 

[DTP2]

Didn't Purdue embarrass us like this on Chris Street Day years ago?

 

[Ozzie89]

That is absolutely unacceptable on an inbounds play

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

I was confident no way we miss tournament a week ago think it's 50/50 at this point

 

[Warhawkeye]

I’m officially in the this is not fun basketball camp!

 

[Hawkedup]

Holy **** this team is awful. These suck and frankly I am severely unimpressed with the coaching here. Purdue hasn’t had a contested 3 this entire half. And we are scared shitless to shoot.

pathetic.

 

[HawksRule25]

Another easy Purdue layup on out of bounds play.

 

[Franisdaman]

Stirtz is completely shut down on offense. When that happens, we are done for.

Next year could get even uglier.

Ben said recently he is hopeful that a point guard out there would find playing at Iowa attractive

 

[Buffalo43]

Wide open 3s by Purdue all 2nd half

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Hoping to keep it within 20 but realistically 30... or 40.

 

[longliveCS40]

Against good teams, we just run out of talent. Hopeful that Ben can recruit Big Ten talent and get them to play his system but it's going to be a couple years.

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[HawkBall23]

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Wide open 3s by Purdue all 2nd half

Or layups

 

[2D]

 

[Hawklove]

Looks like Fran's 3pt D. ****

At least Fran’s teams could score. This is Lick era nightmare

 

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

At great risk of getting way too technical for the casual fan, as an expert on the sport, Ol' Doodle can tell you officially that this type of basketball is.......bad.

 

[Franisdaman]

I mean... wow.

27 point beat down

at home

unacceptable

 

[Hawksfor3]

Looks as though Ben has lost a good chunk of the locker room. What else is there to say? I mean give us some effort.

 

[shrinkhawk]

Damn Vegas got our hopes up.

 

[Denmar]

How exactly is that a foul on Stirtz?

He was in the vicinity.

 

[Buffalo43]

Not to regress but Fran would switch up defenses to stem a run Ben is stuck on man to man Maryland and Purdue are killing us on dribble drive

 

[Hawk48]

This is a Sweet Sixteen maybe Elite 8 Purdue team and Iowa is a 50/50 to advance past the first round. Just different levels entirely.

I agree but cannot stand watching lazy paly and looking like you never played the game before.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

This is they type of game that would really make want to be a a$$ of a coach. Not letting the team leave the court after the game and make them run until the janitors ask if they can go home.

Team doesn't want to put in the effort during the game? Put it the work in after the game then

 

[Ozzie89]

I knew Iowa was undermanned this year, but I am SHOCKED how soft they’ve become defensively and tentative offensively

 

[Tippett1]

This is a Sweet Sixteen maybe Elite 8 Purdue team and Iowa is a 50/50 to advance past the first round. Just different levels entirely.

Iowa will not make the tournament. Who have they really beat? Indiana, who is about the same as Iowa.

 

[CRHAWK]

Ben and the players have been asking for a sellout all year and FINALLY get it and this is the performance they give us. This is just pathetic in every single way.

 

[Hawk48]

Really didn’t expect us to play our worst game of the season today.

Nebraska Monday and if I was a betting man I would take NB big. I think Iowa will be embarrassed as well. JMO

 

[du72]

Dogshit. Braden smith is a dbag btw.

Cuz he’s way better than Stirtz?
