******Xavier vs Iowa Game Thread******

[QChawks]

7pm FS1
Iowa -15.5
O/U 142.5

America gets their first look at this the Ben McCollum led Hawkeyes. Xavier comes to carver fresh off a butt kicking by Santa Clara at home. Their two wins (Marist and Le Moyne) were by less than six points. Vegas has a good idea that this isn’t a great Xavier team. Although I think they will give Iowa some decent competition for 2/3 of the game.

I like the hawks 87-69

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that we win this game.

Thank you.

I don’t think a Ben McCollum team is one you want to see when you’re struggling. Hawks big

 

[Franisdaman]

Looks like they will be wearing the gold ones tonight.

Lots of good seats still available

Yrah. They really need to fix that ice cream queuing situation if they're really serious about driving attendance.

Win the rebounding battle and win the game going away. They are not that big but I do think their guards look decent. We've already won the coaching battle

I have always like the black unis the most. Typically I've liked the white better than the gold, but for these I like the gold better.

Whites are a little boring IMO.

This is from 2 days ago. Lots of green (ie, tickets available).

Check this out & watch as the person goes around the arena:

Just curious if anyone knows what attendance was for the ladies last night

Just curious if anyone knows what attendance was for the ladies last night

15,000

now I would guess but in the seats was probably only about 12,000 but I wasn’t there. I’m only going off some of the shots I saw from watching it on TV.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Go Hawks!

 

[CarterHall]

Who is Jack Nunge rooting for?

 

[JerseyCityHawk]

Anyone know if this is on TV?

 

[83Hawk]

Good grief. Turnover City.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Come on Howard!

[Hawksfor3]

Keep it up Coop!

 

[QChawks]

2 pts in 3 minutes?

 

[HawkBall23]

Ugly, ugly, ugly start.

On both ends. (at times)

 

[Franisdaman]

Howard had 3 turnovers in the first 2 minutes & Ben yanked him for Combs.

 

[Skydog0784a!]

IA is playing very uptight

 

[HawkBall23]

Thought we were gonna see some defense with BM ......

 

[QChawks]

On pace for 60 points

brutal

 

[longliveCS40]

6 fouls already on Xavier. Going to need to make free throws this half

 

[longliveCS40]

Xavier can't miss from 3.

 

[2D]

getting murdered on the perimeter

 

[QChawks]

Ugh

this is not a good Xavier team

they are literally scoring at Will

 

[longliveCS40]

Iowa should be in all out attack mode on offense trying to draw fouls at this point.

 

[HawkBall23]

Xavier getting waaaaay too many open looks from behind the arc.

 

[83Hawk]

Can’t let Xavier keep draining 3’s.

 

[DTP2]

Gross so far.

 

[QChawks]

if we lose to the Pitino kid, it’s gonna be a long season

 

[PeteJox]

Feels like a Fran defense

 

[HawkBall23]

Always aside from Stirtz, Sage and Jirak have impressed the most (overall) in 2+ games so far.
