Mostly you faggots spiking the ball before kickoff like every ISU fan you claim to hate.

About what? The team? I don’t see anyone here claiming anything other than liking what they are seeing and pointing out that you were very obviously wrong about Jirak.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I am just excited to be discussing a new coach and system, even if it’s turning me into a fag.

can’t wait till we can do the same for football

 

[Lee Beevers]

I wish Iowa would have lost their first 4 games so Ben could teach me a lesson that I SHOULD NOT be hoping the basketball program does well unless the coach is a black guy.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

I was kidding.

Bow rescinded. Thought you were referring to this, but it was another post:

I don’t see a loss on the schedule if we’re being honest.

 

[Fletch]

Takes patience. But you’re actually seeing more and more teams move to this style.

 

[Fletch]

But have you considered that had Iowa hired a negro coach that Malik from Crane and D’andre from Marshall would have been in Iowa City and not these faggy white kids?

I did not, because I am not a fag.

 

[kenos]

Let's be clear. There's nothing wrong about man on man action.

But, faggotry is not to be tolerated.

The offense is predicated on getting the defense off balance with ball screens. Once you gain the advantage the defense scrambles and it’s a matter of getting the best shot available at that point.

It’s all about reads and counters. It’s fun to watch and extremely hard to guard.

I’m really looking forward to the game on Dec 11 because of this. ISU’s defense is predicated on getting the offense uncomfortable and in a scramble and recovering quickly. Forced Mississippi State into their most turnovers in program history. And that’s a ream coached by Jans that has known Otzelberger forever, and I expected to have a better answer on offense.

If Stirtz can control the game against Lipsey/Toure like he has been these first few games (and last year I guess) Iowa could get quite a few open looks. If they can rattle him or (more likely) the secondary ball handler, it could get lopsided fast.

Will know a lot more about ISU by then as they still have games against St John’s/Creighton/another top tier team in Vegas and at Purdue before the Iowa game. And Iowa has three solid games too. I can’t think of another year when both Iowa and ISU come into the CyHawk game as battle tested. Should be good.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Iowa uses Stirtz off the ball quite a bit, and he brings the ball up maybe half the time. Will be interesting if that changes against a team with pressure defense.

This is pretty impressive touch / control by a 6’11 guy

Any of you gays have a stream for this game?

 

[ABeardedDragon]

[jd10]

Combs got the start over Howard. Defense hasn’t been great so far

 

[ABeardedDragon]

passed up a lot of open shots there and ended up turning it over

 

[ABeardedDragon]

offense is ugly as fuck right now

 

[The Full Monte]

this play by play guy sounds like he thinks he’s on the radio

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

Jirak pretty decent at the FT for a true freshman big man.

He is a current journalism student at Iowa. Already better than Dolph.

 

[BBK]

Reading this thread, I thought we were down by 26. Nice to see the opposite occurring

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

19-24 from 2 tonight

 

[BBK]

Making all the 3s now

 

[douglasbader]

They sure score as much as Fran teams so far.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

Shitcago State, always hated those fucks

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Dumbfucks, Chicago is a city

 

[Jim Tebow]

Banks was leading scorer. Big game with 16 points 10 rebounds.

For those that didnt watch, funny thing happened involving Banks.

Iowa got to 67 points and the crowd started going nuts. Banks was on the floor and started doing the 6-7 thing to the crowd egging them on while iowa was inbounding the ball. Clearly lost focus. Chicago state presses though, and when the ball came to Banks he fucking spazzed out and threw it directly to a chicago state defender for an easy layup. However howard or somebody fouled the guy on the layup and Banks swooped in for a violent tomahawk goal tend off the backboard for an and 1 for csu. Banks was immediately benched the rest of the game.

I was cracking up laughing. Iowa was up 35 or so at the time. Good fun.

 

[douglasbader]

Ok.

Probably had to be there. But thanks for sharing.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Hopefully a fun stretch coming up. If nothing else we’ll have a better idea of how this team looks against legit competition. Iowa is kenpom 31 at this moment fwiw.

11/25 Ole Miss (kenpom 35)
11/26 Grand Canyon (99) or Utah (121)
12/2 at Mich St (21)
12/6 Maryland (66)
12/11 at Iowa St (8)

Then three more easy ones before the rest of the douche schedule starts on 1/3 vs UCLA.

 

[Mitchandrsn]

Potential Iowa opponent Utah fell as 14 point favorites against Cal Poly tonight.

What ever happened to sideline reporter Maddie?
