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

I dunno, maybe sit Stirtz the rest of the game.

How overrated is/was Hausen? Can’t even sniff the floor. Should have spent all that money on another big man.

He's too undersized height-wise and his beer gut ain't helping him none either.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Hopefully Stirtz can play minimal minutes the next couple games. Rest/heal until the 11/25 game against Ole Miss

 

[2D]

Hawks playing fundamentally sound this half. Great passing and rebounding.

That's illegal.

 

[Franisdaman]

up 21 and Strirtz comes back in the game

 

[83Hawk]

Hawks playing fundamentally sound this half. Great passing and rebounding.

That’s how you win games and make tournament runs. Fundamentals!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Combs having a nice game. 11/4/4.

 

[Franisdaman]

Sage must have been REALLY IMPRESSIVE in practice & Hausen not so much

Hausen might regret having left K-State

 

[Franisdaman]

its amazing how Iowa so casually gets to 68 pts and up 19

 

[Hawksfor3]

Quick whistles tonight on Stirtz

 

[Mattski]

As someone who really enjoys complete team basketball this is just so enjoyable to watch. Yes there have been some sloppy moments but this same game played last year would be probably 75-75 right now and anyone's game to win. Instead we're up 20 bc we play complete team basketball. As long as he can recruit Ben is going to be a terrific coach for Iowa, hopefully for a long long time.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Stirtz not allowed to play defense according to the clowns in stripes... ..

 

[longliveCS40]

Ugly couple minutes. Iowa needs to get back to it. Still a lot of time left.

 

[Herky T Hawk]

Stirtz seemed to have cramping in his calf. They handed him a massage gun at the start of a timeout.

 

[HawkBall23]

Holy crap, I think Combs just barely got the ball over the timeline on that one.

 

[83Hawk]

This is the best passing Iowa team I’ve seen since ‘69-70.

 

[HawkBall23]

If Hausen doesn't take that stutter-step backwards, might actually draw the charge call there.

 

[QChawks]

Xavier is taking 27 three-point shots, making nine of them

Iowa has only taken nine and made three

 

[83Hawk]

These officials are crap.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Effing CLUELESS refs. Just ran our defender over... Clearly in position

 

[HawkBall23]

Good thing they're not a great shooting team, as a lot of those looks were lightly contested.

 

[2D]

Hawks starting to get lazy here. Need to finish strong.

 

[Franisdaman]

Iowa with a 32-20 rebounding advantage.

WTF!

 

[HawkBall23]

Effing CLUELESS refs. Just ran our defender over... Clearly in position

He was, but like I said, he took a stutter-step backwards to pull himself of the "standing still" position he would have been in.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

These refs suck balls. That is all.

 

[longliveCS40]

Looking shaky against the press. I don't like that.

 

[HawkBall23]

Dammit Banks, can't miss those wide open bunnies like that.

 

[longliveCS40]

Clear charging foul there. Terrible call.

 

[HawkBall23]

These refs still really suck, but that was a good block call on Hausen.

He tried to buy one there ala Brad Davidson.

 

[ajdl]

Refs are pathetic. Wow

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Lot of stiff arms allowed by Xavier.... Can call the block. PATHETIC refs

 

[83Hawk]

He pushed off! Idiot refs,

 

[QChawks]

0 fast break points for either team

It hasn’t been the prettiest game to watch

 

[83Hawk]

Gee refs….you sure that’s a foul on Xavier?

 

[HawkBall23]

Some these FTAs are woof.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Hawks 72% from the line.

 

[longliveCS40]

Lawlz at that Stirtz putback.

 

[HawkBall23]

When was the last time a Fran guy followed up his own miss like the way Stirtz just did??

niiiiiiice
