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

[Denmar]

Could have used Hausen’s 3’s 5 minutes ago. This team isn’t built to come back from 20 down with 5 minutes left

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Ignore the elbow by the Purdue goon.

 

[Warhawkeye]

Hausen 3! Hawks pass 50!

Another Hausen brick to follow!

 

[JerseyCityHawk]

Well this game turned out just awesome… holy sheeet they look like a hot dog poop with extra diarrhea… same ole same ole fade near the end of the season… Ben’s got a huge rebuilding to do… this team just sucked tonight nothing more nothing less

Fran >>>BM

Might be because howard got elbowed in the throat and thrown to the floor

 

[Buffalo43]

The only reason we hold opponents to less than 70 or so is because we are slow on offense because our defense sucks aka lick ball

 

[Hawx224]

Fans saying they’re unimpressed with the coaching are severely underestimating the talent gap. Exactly what I expected this year.

No kidding. Their big literally just threw one of our guys to the floor.

Funny how that works.

Kinda like Banks rubbing and shaking his head after a mugging by Purdue for a defensive rebound

Life on the road

 

[Buffalo43]

Atleast Mark Wahlberg got me to pray everyday

 

[DTP2]

Just curious if Ben has no interest in ever getting a T. This team sucked today, but maybe get it out of the way after that last no call.

 

[Franisdaman]

Hausen 3! Hawks pass 50!

Now, can we get to @Hawksfor3 's age!!!!

Watching Iowa basketball be like:

D2

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Purdue just toying with us now....

 

[Slim45]

Tavian tackled, foul on iowa. Classic

 

[Hawk48]

Iowa has one guy that can shoot (BS) the rest are brick layers.

In all seriousness, how can we fix the atmosphere in Carver. Kinnick is one of the toughest places to play in the country. We have a great fanbase but carver gives us zero advantage. I’m convinced it’s a problem with the venue and not the fans.

What's your expectations for next year? More of this? Or what?

 

[HawksRule25]

Tough game physically for Banks today.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Terrible game.

Team came out FLAT.

Unable to make layups.... FTs.... 3s.

Sh*t defense.

What exactly did the fans have to cheer for today?


Fans showed up. Team didn't.

 

[Buffalo43]

Combs needs to re think his toughness for the BIG with all the minutes he gets

It’s the product.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Thanks for the waste of 2 hours guys.

Solid effort.

 

[Garzatough85]

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

Let’s not get crazy…dumb post

 

[Franisdaman]

Ben said he's hopeful to land a PG in the portal.

Things might get worse next year.

Team did show up. This is reality for 2026.

If BM does not have a great recruiting season, IMO they will be worse. Do not see any current players stepping up (except maybe the redshirt).

 

[Garzatough85]

Don’t think we will win another game this year.

Also a dumb post

 

[Buffalo43]

We got boat raced today embarrassing should have kept Combs out in 2nd half and played Hausen

Knock it down. Students on the side of the court. No season tickets for fans over 70. Win.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Team did show up. This is reality for 2026.

Huh? Losing by 20 as a 1.5 underdog is expected? Yikes

 

[Garzatough85]

Fran >>>BM

I’m calling out dumb posts; like this one

 

[2212hawk2]

He has a point guard for next year.

Peyton.

Not a problem for WBB or wrestling normally... you can't really cheer for much when you're getting dominated in every aspect and it is also Ben's first year. I would not mind getting a newer and better venue than Carver though.

 

[85Bears]

Is it too late to lure Fran back with a special retirement package this offseason ?

 

[Hawksfor3]

Now, can we get to @Hawksfor3 's age!!!!

I'm the same age as Jack Benny was lol!
