**Nebrantska vs Iowa - 1/6/19 - 4:30 pm - BTN**

[Hawkstrat]

When bohannon is on, he can almost make up for his other shortcomings. But when he's not, he's hot garbage.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

So Garza wasn't out today?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

No Garza, RK starting

This is fine.

Good call.

Blame Dolph, he told me.

"Iowa basketball will be better without bohannon and Moss"

@brantshawks looks like hell when he shaves.

 

[TurdBurgler]

I know Nebrantska had foul trouble, but they were basically giving bohannon open 3s at the end there. Great win, everyone played pretty well today. Garza off the bench was huge.

 

[The Incredible Hawk]

At some point Connor will have to start shooting. Multiple times he picked up his dribble at the 3 point line and the defenders backed off to block a passing lane. Even when he ball faked like he might actually shoot, they barely closed out on him.

 

[CamelTones]

Moss has matured a ton as a player. His dumb mistakes are way down and he’s attacking the basket more.

I’m sure he’ll have some moments in the future but the last 5 games he’s seemed like a different player.

yep. hes a key to this season

 

[Soda Popinski]

Go Hawks!

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Let’s hope this gets Jordan out of his slump. If he’s hitting threes Iowa can play with most douche teams.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Suck it, Nebrantska!!!!

he's a brick layer from 3. He will be a solid role player.

Even Mike Gesell had a long two point jumpshot to make defenders think twice.

A point guard who can't shoot. Excellent!

 

[Verbal]

They’ll win Sunday.

 

[douglasbader]

The next 4 games are all winnable. They need to go no worse than 3-1 to get to 4-4 in conference. 5-3 would be huge.

I think he’ll get better. Classic 4 year contributor and has some attributes that we desperately need.

Can you please break down the implications of all the w/l scenarios over our next four games, including what our record would be in each case and then rank them from best to worst case?

Sure thing.

If they beat all the teams they will be 6-9, which happens to be your mother's favorite.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Hope that helps

 

[RecreationalGynecologist]

It did. Thx

 

[The Tin Man]

Great FT shooting

Is that @brantshawks on the right?

Kriener is not

Nice

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Connor shot the same 3pt% as a high school senior as Jordan.

He’s in his own head right now. Given his lack of elevation on his shot I wonder if it’s the longer college arc.

You'd have to be out of your goddamn mind if you think you can get a good quality post from a coastal state.

Very true. But really wondered if it was.

Time zones.

 

[BngHawk]

Iowa loses by 15.

Bow me, AZ

Man. What an asshole. Nice, and much needed win.

[Hawkstrat]

Fran is Frank's special needs cousin. So it checks out.

 

[Bonner]

Is he talking Fortnite?

Lol wut

Fran said in the postgame they have to get him going from 3. It's been an issue this year but today was the most obvious example of teams just daring him to shoot it and him refusing even when wide open.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Really good offensive game overall. That stretch midway through the 2nd with 3 straight turnovers (holy shit Maishe) and probably 4 out of 6 trips was brutal. Other than that they got the transition going more than they have and were balanced. Kriener is frustrating as hell but he can score. Hopefully this is the game that gets bohannon looking to shoot more. Still have to get Joe more looks other than just a few corner 3 attempts.

Defense certainly wasn't fixed but the zone looked competent for good stretches.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Joe and to a lesser extent Connor are still deferring too much.

Joe doesn’t seem to be too aggressively looking for that rip and drive move he has.

 

[Creed]

bohannon sucks hard

Yep he's worthless right now

Spot on guys.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

Great win. There's something about Tim Miles I don't like and great to see bohannon carry in the 2nd without anything from Cook or Garza. Hawks are making the tourney.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Did Garza even play the second half? I hope he didn’t have a setback.

I think Fran sits Joe too much in the 1st half. He seems to forget he’s on the bench for 5-7 minutes.

This has been a fran issue with multiple players over the years

Yeah, forced a quick shot and then traveled and that was it.

 

[nolookpass]

Moss had 10 rebounds and 5 assists. I think you have to let him play through his mistakes, he's got a high ceiling. Seems like the tendency is to yank him and sit him as soon as he makes a mistake or two. I think he's like Jok, in that the light will finally come on this year.

To this point it has had to be that way because Moss goes into a shell if he makes a mistake. Fran can’t leave someone out there like that.

Staying engaged through the ups and downs is part of mental toughness. I think he might be getting it, he seems better this year.

He’s been playing down the stretch of games. Fran hasn’t really sat him for a few games now. He just seems much more comfortable on the floor. He also missed 3 shots in a row and didn’t turn into a spaz like he used to.

It feels like Fran just gets caught watching the game sometimes instead of using his timeouts and the media timeouts to get his best players the most rest strategically.

Maishe should really only come in for a couple minutes stretch before a media timeout in each half. This is my biggest issue with the assistants. You would think one of those dumbfucks would speak up when Fran sits Cook or Weiskamp too long.

Over the last 8 games since Wisconsin he's averaging 28 minutes per game. 33, 31, 31, 31 in the four vs. Big Ten teams plus ISU.
