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

[Hawkfan_08*]

No! There was no possession! Eff you guys.

 

[HAWKNESS]

Combs has got to make the easy ones or sit a little more. He's just no threat as a scorer.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

2/7 on layups

 

[QChawks]

Iowa had a 3% chance of missing the tournament prior to the Maryland game. Well guess what.

I still don’t think they’re a shoe in

There’s a chance we could end up only going 10 and 10 in the league

If we don’t win a game in the league tournament, that would put us right on the bubble in my opinion

 

[Hawksfor3]

Get it under 10 before half.

 

[Hawk48]

Oh, and Cooper Koch SUCKS on both ends of the floor.

yeah not sure what is going on with him, but not good

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

Defense is mid and we’re the softest team in the country around the rim.

 

[HawkBall23]

The straw that 'Stirtz' the drink ... Hawkeyes.

Loved all the verbal stumbling he did over it, too - when we all know he's been practicing it ever since he found out he'd be doing this game.

They are certainly playing like a bubble team

If Iowa were to get to 10-10 I think they're in. I'm not sold they get there. That's why Maryland was so big.

 

[Hawksfor3]

We can't shoot at all.

25% FG 11% 3.

 

[Buffalo43]

No one can hit wide open 3s at home maybe they should practice offense once and a while

 

[Hawk48]

Combs has got to make the easy ones or sit a little more. He's just no threat as a scorer.

He has been pretty bad last few games

 

[QChawks]

At least Ben finally got his sellout game

 

[HawkBall23]

This team is a joke.


a joke that isn't funny

 

[Hawksfor3]

7 points from our starters.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

This team is done.

 

[ChicagoHawk2020]

So soft

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Nice of the refs to screw up and stop the game so Purdue could draw up an out of bounds play with 4 seconds on the shot clock

 

[DTP2]

Just pathetic rebounding.

 

[Warhawkeye]

JFC. Rebound the damn ball. Starting to remind me of Fran ball

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Eff we have to win these games. It would be no big deal had we not lost to Maryland.

 

[HawksRule25]

Jirak with the spin ... spin and draws the 2nd foul on Cluff.

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

At least Ben finally got his sellout game

First and last of the year. Can't continue to s*** the bed as a program when you get them.

 

[Hawkedup]

Like I said. Another slow start and we will be down by 20.

 

[HawkBall23]

Almost kinda hope they don't make the NCAAT.

Gonna get clowned by whoever they match up with

 

[QChawks]

Only six regular season games left after today

Hawks will only be favored in two (OSU and PSU)

We are not gonna be trending in the right direction going into March

 

[HawksRule25]

Jirak 3!

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Not getting a damn bounce our way.

Should have been a fast break there.

Instead Purdue scores again

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Eff we have to win these games. It would be no big deal had we not lost to Maryland.

Correct, before Maryland there was a 3% chance to miss the tournament. After Maryland it went up to 27%. Getting that game was so imperative.

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

EFFING HECK! HOW DO YOU NOT COME UP WITH THAT.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Grab the ******* ball Stirtz!!!

 

[HAWKNESS]

He has been pretty bad last few games

Plays a lot to just be a 2nd ball handler

 

[DTP2]

Why does stirtz dive for it? every loose ball we screw up.

 

[Hawkeye1984]

We need to be honest about where we are. This roster is not built to compete at a high level in this conference. That was obvious before the season even started.

But instead of reality, we get spin. Beat writers act like campaign managers for the university, selling optimism and protecting the brand. I just read one claiming we could be a playoff contender in football next year. Based on what? Hope is not a depth chart.

They make their money on hype, access, and keeping people comfortable. At some point you stop calling that analysis and start calling it what it is. Promotion. And right now, I don’t trust any of it.

 

[RoseBowlorBust]

Jirak is a stud

 

[Hawkfan_08*]

Jurak is our best player today.

 

[Buffalo43]

JIREK

 

[HawksRule25]

Jirak showing a bit of a spark off the bench.

 

[Hootie LaRue]

Jirak showed up at least.
