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

[QChawks]

Just heard in to the Duke/WVU women’s game that WVU has only five players available.

They said there was a scuffle before halftime and the entire WVU bench came onto the court and was ejected.

[Manfredi]

That isn't even a foul in the WNBA

 

[longliveCS40]

Are they playing in a cruise ship restaurant?

 

[StuckAsAnon]

Xavier has had 7 fouls forever and Iowa hasn't capitalized on it.

Not entirely true. It was right after they picked up their 6th that Iowa was able to get like 3 straight back door cuts. They couldn't afford to grab or challenge at the rim anymore.

 

[Hawksfor3]

15 points from our bench. 3 for them.

 

[HawkBall23]

Man, Banks not being a really good FT shooter is gonna hurt.

As much as he gets fouled, need to hit a really good % of those.

 

[TheGreatDivider101]

I think I am speaking for everyone when I say I miss Fran.

Fran Drescher???

 

[2D]

Xavier is throwing their bodies around.

 

[HawkBall23]

New coach, same screw job from the refs.


And CMON Banks. Hit some FTs. cripes

 

[Franisdaman]

All Right is all right, indeed.

 

[Franisdaman]

Fran Drescher???

How is it possible to miss the guy shake the entire hoop during the shot?

Most obvious basket interference you'll ever see

 

[HawkBall23]

How is that not a foul!?

 

[QChawks]

My prediction included a competitive game until mid second half

At this point, I’ll be happy if they can hold on for the win

 

[Hawksfor3]

C'mon Banks!

 

[Denmar]

How was that not a foul

 

[Hawksfor3]

C'mon Banks!

There you go!

 

[83Hawk]

How is that not a foul?

 

[HawkBall23]

Banks splashes a 3, but can barely do 50% at the FT stripe.

 

[QChawks]

I was really hoping we were gonna break out the gold uniforms

 

[BioHawk2]

I was watching when that scuffle broke out but flipped over to the Iowa game when it came on. Wow.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice finish to end this half.

 

[QChawks]

Xavier shooting % finally averaged out

 

[HawkBall23]

Iowa has finally picked it up, but this is how bad Xavier is.

Iowa let them hang around for most the half, and they might have a 15+ pt bulge at the half.

 

[QChawks]

Nice finish to end this half.

Something our old Coach could never do

 

[longliveCS40]

Xavier got tired. Great close to the half.

 

[Franisdaman]

And just like that Iowa is on pace to score 90 points.

Iowa leads at the half, 45-29.

 

[BubsFinn]

I'm not so sure he got that off....

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

It always goes in

 

[HawkBall23]

The hit back and the light going off were simultaneous.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Looked like it was still in his hand watching that live

 

[2D]

Great way to end a half. A nice run, some steals, a block, and we're making our FTs.

 

[QChawks]

Wave that crap off

 

[HawkBall23]

Niiiiiiiiice.

Refs made at least one right call tonight.

 

[Palmerhawk]

Howard with 3 turnovers. SMH.

They have bounced back, slowing Xavier .

If you told me we are up 11 on Xavier in first three weeks ago, I'd be happy.

 

[Doctor Hawktagonapus]

wow

 

[DTP2]

Up 16 and yet the half seemed off.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Good call. Unless he hit it like a volleyball player, that's in his hand.

 

[Franisdaman]

I'm not so sure he got that off....

they wiped it away
