Iowa vs. UTSA Thread

[HawkLax6]

Iowa is up 17-11 with 11:45 left in the first half.

Tucker has 7 points.

[HawkLax6]

The stream seems way less choppy tonight.

Have had no problems so far.

[MikeyJoe]

I'm having a few delays.

[HawkLax6]

I changed the speed to the 500 kps version last game and it automatically loaded it with it rather than the default 750 kps.....it seems to help a little.

[HawkLax6]

This team is going to get killed on the boards against tall teams like OSU.

[MikeyJoe]

The box score on the right is updating ahead of the stream.

This team is going to get killed on the boards against tall teams like OSU.
This team is going to get killed period by teams better than UTSA.

[HawkLax6]

Two straight horrible turnovers while trying to break the press.

[The Game]

Anyone know why Cole isn't playing tonight?

Nevermind..

[HawkLax6]

They made a little run before the half and lead 40-28 at the break.

[MikeyJoe]

It was 29-24 a few minutes ago, but Iowa went on a run to end the half 40-28.

[HawkLax6]

And just like that, it is now 42-36.

[Edgecrusher7711]

And just like that, it is now 42-36.

It's going to be rough this season but I still like this team a whole lot more than a year ago.

[MikeyJoe]

44-41 Iowa.

[Abbé Busoni]

Nice hustle by Gatens to grab the missed shot and set up Cyrus the Virus.

[HawkLax6]

I am no basketball expert, but I was always taught to break a press like 2-2-1 by having someone go to that open spot in the middle of the court and feeding him the ball with him turning around and find an open man.

They keep trying to break it by going down the sidelines, almost allowing them to get trapped by the defender and the sideline.

[HawkLax6]

Oh yeah, go Women's Field Hockey! Final Four!

[Abbé Busoni]

There were more people at the 2004 and 2007 Hawkeye Challenges than there are there tonight.

[HawkLax6]

I wonder if Gorney is watching the stream of the game on his laptop over in Holland?

[Abbé Busoni]

Oh yeah, go Women's Field Hockey! Final Four!

Locker room orgy!

[HawkLax6]

There were more people at the 2004 and 2007 Hawkeye Challenges than there are there tonight.

There might be more people at my rec league game at Culver City High School tonight than at this game.

[HawkLax6]

Iowa leads 54-52 with nine minutes left.

This is bad.

[MikeyJoe]

UTSA just cut the lead to 54-52.

[HawkLax6]

54-54.

[MikeyJoe]

Wow. We're in for a rough year, boyz.

[HawkLax6]

57-54 UTSA on a three-pointer. Then Iowa turns the ball over on a 10-second backcourt violation.

[Abbé Busoni]

There's a North Carolina Central vs. Texas Pan-American game Sunday, December 5 at 11 a.m. at the Knapp Center as the final game of a round-robin tournament at Drake. I want to go with the 2 other people that will be there.

[imissjoeyrange]

Wow. We're in for a rough year, boyz.

To say the least.

[Abbé Busoni]

What a great learning experience to have a close game!

[Verbal]

Wow. We're in for a rough year, boyz.

These remarks in November are always humorous.

Fellas, it's November. You're going to see some good teams get beat/taken to the wire by some mid-majors. It happens every year. Is it really surprising that a team full of freshmen and sophomores would be challenged by a team full of JUCOS? We're not going to be great this year, but tonight's performance doesn't mean we're doomed to a crappy year either. We've got 6 weeks of games and practice before we've got to play a Big Ten team. Sit back and watch. This is going to be a fun group before it's all said and done.

I agree. I didn't watch the game, so that obviously makes a difference. But after the game Lickliter said they didn't work much on the 2-2-1 press and shouldered the blame.

“They threw a lot at us that we really struggled with, and a lot of it is my fault.”

“My fault,” Lickliter said. “We hadn’t spent a lot of time working against a 2-2-1 press, and we struggled against it.”

Kind of refreshing to see a coach do that. :)

And 20 of 22 from the line helps win close games.

I'm still optimistic. Call me crazy.

Once you added the teams playing after us, there were more people at my game than at Carver tonight.

Better to find out they need to work on something now than later, I say.

[PipeDaddy]

I'm drinking the Kool Aid. And nobody can stop me. Ohhhh yeaaah.

It is alright Gamesy.

[L. Wade Childress]

i dont think UTSA qualifies as a mid-major

i was talking shit with my drake buddy today and my prediction of the final score for the iowa-drake game was 9-6 hawks
