**Northwestern vs Iowa Basketball, 2-19-23-5:30 PM BTN**

[The Dad]

Iowa literally ran away from the dude with the ball.

They didn’t cover the ball or the next pass. It was terrific.

 

[TJones3312]

 

[RiotFan]

Green didn’t T up Patrick. He is however, a worthless POS.

Patrick needs to find the end of the bench. I hope I never see Patrick, Perkins, and Ulis in the game again together. Death by dribbling to nowhere.

 

[RiotFan]

Yes, yes you are Patrick.

I don’t think he fouled the guy though…Whiffed.

 

[nolookpass]

NW uses the Wilson ball. Every team should use same ball. Hoover used to do the same thing

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

Halo hated Jordan bohannon for some reason or another but at least he could make shots on the road. This team has had one road game where they shot well. That's pathetic.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

bohannon would have been 3-18 from three in that game with worse defense than pat

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Pat did that just before / right as the guy was shooting his FT. He should get a T for being an asshole regardless of what he said.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Yes, yes you are Patrick.

I don’t think he fouled the guy though…Whiffed.

Figure out what side you are fucking on

 

[TurdBurgler]

Iirc bohannon also lost some games when he was here. That game sucked, throw it away and on to the next.

 

[CamelTones]

I know it’s hard to win on the road but blown out at Nebrantska. Blown out at Ohio State. Blown out at Purdue. Blown out at NW. Got down 18 at the half at Penn State. It’s the main reason you have to pack some semblance of a defense on the road because shots are not always going to fall.

Every single ball screen tonight Iowa just automatically switched it. Either Audige or Bouie one on one blowing past Rebraca or the big would slip and Ulis or Perkins were stuck on their center. The only counter to that was to go zone which resulted in the entire team running away from the ball. Just one time expect the guard to fight through the screen.

 

[ISUFan98]

Blows my mind that a Division 1 team could shoot that poorly from 3 with that many wide open looks.

Well, it can be done. Trust me.

 

[HawkBall23]

Pat did that just before / right as the guy was shooting his FT. He should get a T for being an asshole regardless of what he said.

'Bout like watching a coach run down his sideline - well within in the periphery vision of the opposition's FT shooter - to yell at the ref who controls the FT action on the baseline as the shooter is in the middle of his shooting motion.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Guys, big ten games are designed to drastically favor the home team.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

I feel bad for Patrick because it's not an effort thing on defense. He's so narrow through the hips because of his illness that there's no way he can stay in position when he's getting bodied.

Fran should tell him to transfer so he doesn't have to deal with the dipshit fans online complaining about his effort.

 

[Kamala]

Halo hated Jordan bohannon for some reason or another but at least he could make shots on the road. This team has had one road game where they shot well. That's pathetic.

bohannon had more than a few games where he didn’t show up at all. I think you probably know that

 

[Hawkstrat]

I don't believe Jordan bohannon had any eligibility left.

So goddamn frustrating watching that “defense” tonight.

 

[6deuce]

Until Fran gives a fuck about defense this will happen. He is a great developer of talent and offensive coach, but he needs to hire a defensive minded coach and let him take over the defense.

Whoa.....whoa......whoa. If you can't find compassion on HALO, you....

Yeah, you are right, the worst form of humankind exists on HALO. And that's an understatement.

 

[CleteyColgate]

I don't believe Jordan bohannon had any eligibility left.

Yeah, but a lot of HALO members might not know that.

any amount of effort or time spent on defense will hurt the offense

 

[CleteyColgate]

any amount of effort or time spent on defense will hurt the offense

Sounds like some bullshit that JBo used to say

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

any amount of effort or time spent on defense will hurt the offense

It's true. If you want have that much movement on offense, your defense is going to suffer. You can only go 100% for so long.

WHY DONT THEY JUST TRY HARDER

Hoover did what?

 

[Geese]

Pat did that just before / right as the guy was shooting his FT. He should get a T for being an asshole regardless of what he said.

What if he had done jazz hands? Would that be a T?

 

[Talkin' Goat]

What if he had done jazz hands? Would that be a T?

That would just be expressing himself. Which is clearly allowed.

 

[BBK]

Do yourselves a favour and stop going to chat or maybe we should just stop doing chat all together.

It's become Revolver, Soda, and Loog talking women's basketball for 2 straight hours.

Yes, I know it's a partial troll, but who needs that shit. Straight faggotry

 

[nolookpass]

Hoover did what?

Hoover Huskies did the same thing when Charles Z was the coach. The Wilson ball has a nasty feel to it, like shooting a soccer ball. NW does the same thing.

Sounds like that may help NU in the NCAA Tournament so maybe the other teams should be using the Wilson ball.

The reverse Kirk’s son, Brian Ferentz.

 

[ClintWalker]

This game should prepare us for what will most likely happen in the tournament. The games when they shoot the ball well are fun and they look great. But man, some of these losses have been ugly. When you have a game(s) that you can't throw it in the ocean and don't have the players that can or will play defense, not good.

Chat has 2 acceptable conversation topics. MEN'S sports or porn. That's it.

 

[Hawkstrat]

The problem with the trade off sentiment- is that the defense isn't merely lazy.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

I think we all agreed that the defense would be better this year. Addition by subtraction. But the D is quite a bit worse, especially covering up 3 point shooters. Maybe it’s time for a couple of the older assistants to retire, bring in some new blood, and fix this nonsense.

I doubt you’ll ever see Iowa elite at both ends. But having a functional D to go along with an already established elite O isn’t asking for too much.

When Iowa is flowing and making shots, it’s easy to overlook the deficiencies. But in games like last night, it’s a terrible brand of basketball.

Overall, Fran’s done an admirable job at Iowa. But it’s past time to fix the glitch.

Stats back this up. One of the three worst defenses of the Fran era, and the worst 3 point % defense.

Also, that far right column of percentage of minutes played by players with two first half fouls might be the most baffling stat. Especially considering they are the 5th lowest fouling team in the country. But Dead last in the country this year in playing players with 2 fouls at 0.1% He must have accidentally forgot to immediately sit someone one time.

Yeah. It's a false narrative.

Iowa has guys who hustle really hard to the wrong place.

the labrador puppy school of defense

WHY DONT THEY JUST TRY HARDER

Not being completely retarded on defense isn't a matter of effort. They're out of position (especially in the zone) so much it's laughable.

My God. Absurd. What are you actually watching?

The only old assistant is Dillard. Eldridge and Gatens are both young.

There should be a universally used ball for college basketball. The fact there’s not is fully retarded.
