Better than feeding the post when the post is ladji. WTF are we doing

 

[TurdBurgler]

No timeout

 

[TurdBurgler]

Fucking Fran

 

[Creed]

Yeah running the offense through Dembele doesn’t seem like a great recipe.

 

[jabberjaw]

We suck a fat one

 

[TurdBurgler]

Nice evening for a long walk

 

[Creed]

“That guy is so wide open, let’s not have anyone run at him and just pretend to box out even though he’s not going to miss.”

 

[CamelTones]

The first step of whoever the coach is next year is to sit down with Brock and let him know you will help him find a new home. You can’t even attempt to play defense with him on the floor.

 

[Uff Da]

I’m watching the latest episode of Paradise on Hulu.

Is that a good show?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He's not staying without his mealticket

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Is that a good show?

It’s decent. Interesting end of the world premise.

 

[Hawkstrat]

End of shot clock, Harding passes up slan open three to dribble into a contested long two.

 

[26.2]

Is mulvey hurt?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Balls

 

[Uff Da]

Throw it down

 

[Hawkstrat]

I 100% thought Brauns took off too soon.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

There’s no way that Brauns was simply unplayable the past two years.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Poor Pryce

 

[The Dad]

I 100% thought Brauns took off too soon.

Dayum

 

[brantshawks]

Haven't kept up at all, but reading the posts here I thought Iowa was down by 30.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Traore has to drive Fran absolutely crazy

 

[Hawkstrat]

Haven't kept up at all, but reading the posts here I thought Iowa was down by 30.

They were headed in that direction, Iowa had like an 11-0 run over about a minute and a half.

 

[jd10]

show a replay you fucks

 

[L. Wade Childress]

lol at reversing the call only to call a blatant makeup call

 

[jd10]

holy shit. there has never been a more obvious make up call in the history of make up calls

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Oh my god

 

[L. Wade Childress]

They fucking did it again

 

[CamelTones]

Waste 45 seconds for a Ladji fade away.

 

[6deuce]

JFC Dembele. How can you be that fucking short 4 feet from the rim 4 different times

 

[Creed]

Because he sucks.

 

[TurdBurgler]

At this point I would not play traore at all, play ladji in the role that traore is supposed to be filling, and play brauns/mulvey at the 5. No idea WTF Fran is doing.

Neither does he.

 

[The Full Monte]

Yeah running the offense through Dembele doesn’t seem like a great recipe.

Fran has gotten the shaft in so many ways at Iowa….no debate about that.

But these stretches where obviously shitty players like Dembele getting extended playing time after year pretty much destroy any defense there is of Fran. And Being shitty at the same things year after year is a choice.

 

[BBK]

Illinois seems somewhat deficient in angry blacks relative to the norm, based on the couple times I’ve watched them. Still plenty to dispatch the hawks, however.

Duke was WAYYY more athletic than Illinois for perhaps the first time ever, which is why they got destroyed

 

[Hawkstrat]

I'm not defending Dembele, but dumping the ball to him late in the shot clock was on Sandfort as much as it was on Dembele.

 

[BBK]

Ladji is our leading scorer

 

[Revolver]

Did Harding think the clock was not going to run at the end of the first half until he touched it? I was confused about what he was doing there.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Traore just airballed a dunk but got bailed out

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Did Harding think the clock was not going to run at the end of the first half until he touched it? I was confused about what he was doing there.

He didn’t give Illinois time to beat our horrific defense

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Was the shot clock off?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

Trying to not give Illinois a possession to end the half

 

[CamelTones]

They were trying to run the clock down so Iowa got the last shot. Otherwise Illinois would have had at least 15 seconds.

 

[Nobody]

Trying to get the game clock under :30 to wipe out the shot clock.

Fuck it, I'm leaving it, lol.

 

[CamelTones]

Gonna need another one of those 11-0 runs. A little difficult with Dix and Sandfort doing nothing.

 

[TurdBurgler]

No he was trying to get a 2 for 1 and didn't know the clock was running.

 

[douglasbader]

No he was trying to get a 2 for 1 and didn't know the clock was running.

No, he was trying to get the last shot.

 

[iowa4ever20]

Iowa has done that end of first half strategy countless times over the last few years to secure the last shot.

 

[Revolver]

Was the shot clock off?

Did the shot clock run early? Looked like he was upset about something.

I’m watching with no sound because TGL in on.

No clue. Wasn’t watching. I am now though but only so I can watch my bet on Illinois cash in.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Brock sure reacted like it went wrong, I think time/score was set up for a 2 for 1.
