- Mich St vs Iowa. 2/2/21. 6:00pm. FS1 -

[brantshawks]

I replaced my tiger hawk flag with the American flag on Inauguration Day. Iowa has not won since I did that. So I will flip the flag back tonight.

You son of a bitch.

 

[BngHawk]

You son of a bitch.

I did it for our great nation!!!!

 

[Shawneemicks]

It’s becoming apparent that this is one of Izzo’s worst teams and while we could definitely get beat, I think Iowa cruises to a 10-15 point win in this one. They don’t have the bodies down low to rape like they have in past years and they lack a guard that can get the timely buckets on command.

Which Spartans hit 5+ threes

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Can we send him to halo court just because?

halo requires half court

 

[Hawkstrat]

If Iowa drops this one, I'll flip from making fun of the freak out to leading it.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Heavy action on Iowa but line now at 9.5. Vegas knows!

 

[Shawneemicks]

Is tonight when the Fran Fade becomes real?
Makes you think

Kook!!

I'll take an 8 point win.

Vegas knows Iowa wins comfortably? Ok.

 

[Stomper15]

Butler / Marquette is the lead-in game on FS1. Hopefully, they do not go long -- I like when they do the player intros. I think tonight's game will be quite satisfying for Halo.

At 4pm? What the fuck?

At 4pm? What the fuck?

There have been a lot of early weekday Big East, ACC, and Pac 12 games the last few weeks as conferences try to squeeze in postponed games. Louisville and Georgia Tech played at 1pm yesterday.

 

[JamesMouton]

Hawks -9.5 to the moon!

 

[cloudhawk]

Hawks -9.5 to the moon!

Seems like if there is a concern about making it through warm-ups, it might not be the best time to come back

 

[cloudhawk]

Hawks before country, yo

 

[maxinquaye]

That explains why he put on a few lbs.

 

[douglasbader]

I said that the last few games he played, he looks sort of chunky.

Maybe he has a volleyball sized cyst in there.

 

[ivan_drago]

Good crowd to watch warmups.

 

[Fletch]

Good crowd to watch warmups.

They look like a bunch of stiffs.

They look like a bunch of stiffs.

So a normal Carver crowd.

So a normal Carver crowd.

But the student section is full

 

[BngHawk]

Amateur night at the chuckle hut in this thread right now. Yellowsnow51 would love this.

 

[sobrien51]

Which Spartans hit 5+ threes

Fuck. You.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Lol at this team

 

[Lefty]

Which Spartans hit 5+ threes

Maybe all of them.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Never in doubt

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Heavy action on Iowa but line now at 9.5. Vegas knows!

Told ya

 

[Hawkstrat]

Well, they won.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

They won and I think(hope) Fran learned a lot about his team tonight.

 

[The Dad]

Joe T and Murray played very well.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Good on Fran to go with the guys that want to play. The starters should be giving out dry handys to the bench tonight.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Hope they have big hands

 

[douglasbader]

Always good to beat Michigan State, especially when 4 of your 5 starters have the following line....

6-20 from the field
2-11 from three
7 rebounds

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Flush it and move on.

 

[CamelTones]

That was both enjoyable and not enjoyable.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Outside Garza the starters were ass and Fran knew it

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Always good to beat Michigan State, especially when 4 of your 5 starters have the following line....

6-20 from the field
2-11 from three
7 rebounds

Also 378% eFG rate given up.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

It really is remarkable that there are dudes buried on the bench that would be instant starters on just about any other Iowa team.

 

[The Tin Man]

Missed FTs made that way closer than it needed to be. Fuck!!!

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Can’t play CJ again until he’s fully healthy.

CJ got one board which is right on his season average of 1.1. You can ask him to do too much

 

[ClintWalker]

Well, maybe they'll get past this and play their best ball down the stretch. Then again, maybe not.

 

[douglasbader]

Good start to a brutal stretch through the middle of February. Ohio State is good on offense and pretty shitty on defense as well, so hopefully that will be an actual basketball game.

After that it is a fist fight every game for the next 4 games.

@Indiana, Rutgers, @Michigan State, @Wisconsin

 

[nolookpass]

Would like to see the field goal defense ratings for the starters vs the bench

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Jesus this USC Stanford game is straight trash. Mutiple passes (?) hitting the bottom of the front of the rim.

 

[The Dad]

MSU shot 98% on second chance attempts.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

He looked fucking terrible trying to run down the court on defense when michigan state had a fast break. Sit him until he is healthy.
