***Official Iowa vs TAMU-Commerce Thread 11/4 7pm BTN Plus***

[The Dad]

Did traore quit? Is Fran trying to get him to quit?

He’s in a boot, I think.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

our #1 backcourt portal priority may suck

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I was told that Freeman looked super athletic last game, despite looking like the exact same player he was last year.

They have to go through him. I just don’t see how they score much without making teams double him.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

At this point Fartman looks like a taller version of me panicking at open gym

I’m glad you’re watching the game

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I’m glad you’re watching the game

im not

 

[L. Wade Childress]

What is the half-life of this nuclear yellow court? I figured it would have decayed a bit by now.

 

[Billy Butters]

TAMU-Commerce playing like shit and still in the game at halftime is not great.

 

[TurdBurgler]

Missed 3s, no rebounding, sluggish in general. Iowa basketball is back baby!!

 

[AZmessDAWG]

This team may miss the NIT

 

[douglasbader]

Fran not going to paint his masterpiece??

 

[BillyBob]

I thought the kids were out of the house.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Freeman needs to touch it every time

 

[tallperson54]

We look half asleep out there.

 

[Billy Butters]

Brauns was terrible on defense and couldn't finish when given a couple opportunities. Not sure what he'll be good for.

 

[Monster]

Where the fuck is chat you cock smokes

Only when I fuck your mom.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Brauns was terrible on defense and couldn't finish when given a couple opportunities. Not sure what he'll be good for.

He’s physical. He got his hands on some rebounds to keep them alive. He dunked in traffic. He ain’t good but he’s gonna have to play a role.

 

[douglasbader]

If Brauns and Kingsbury are playing a role, then Iowa is going to be near last in the Big Ten.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

The 2-0 scoring run graphic was a nice touch

 

[TurdBurgler]

Trying not to over react to this. They look like dogshit though.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

I would stay home when Harding drives. Make him score

 

[KitKatApples]

They seem shitty because they are

 

[Stomper15]

How the hell did they find a way to get whiter with no Patrick?

 

[douglasbader]

Fran finally gets actual black athletes and he's playing Kingsbury and Brauns.

Fucking retire already, dude.

 

[Stomper15]

Thelwell had some nice minutes when he came in during the second half.

 

[Billy Butters]

Yeah from what I've seen Thelwell, Dix, the Sandfarts and Freeman may be the best five.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Thelwell looked better than Brock to this point. Harding just dribbles around because no one buys that he’s going to score.

 

[CamelTones]

They’ve played a secret scrimmage, an exhibition and now a regular season game. They’ve shot like shit from 3 in all of those games. Thats a little concerning.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

We may cover

 

[AZmessDAWG]

You’re not even watching

 

[douglasbader]

You’re not even watching

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Brauns is at least 6’9” and can rebound. I see them needing him to play. Kingsbury is not good.

 

[Stomper15]

Mulvania sighting

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Gonna be a long year.

 

[WCFHawkeye]

That was not the prettiest.

 

[Pinehawk]

Final, Iowa 89, TAMUC 67

 

[roseboundhawk]

Lol! Hit over 154.5 with a miracle last minute.

 

[TurdBurgler]

1-0 and room for improvement. If they were decent from 3 the score would be more in line with expectations. Missed a lot of open ones.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

If Iowa loses this game, I’ll give @brantshawks the ol’ Topeka Transit.

Thank God. Was sweating bullets for a while.

 

[AZmessDAWG]

Sandfort, Freeman, and Dix will need to score.

I don’t see Dembele doing much outside of being a body.

Pryce looked like he might make a jump this year.

Thelwell is competent as backup PG. Can at least finish when he gets to rim

Freeman was ok. Took weird angles on shots sometimes instead using the backboard.

This team will struggle to rebound but what Fran team hasn’t.

FWIW

 

[Fletch]

 

[WCFHawkeye]

You never said the Topeka Transit wouldn't happen with an Iowa victory. . . .

Trayore didn't even play?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Trayore didn't even play?

Hurt

 

[Hawkstrat]

Trayore didn't even play?

He wasn't in uniform.

 

[tallperson54]

Traore better be an all world rebounder.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Koch played a solid game, I think he’s gonna be good. Thelwell brought some defensive intensity and had the ball moving better. He has a little burst. Pryce missed some shots but was solid.

Freeman and Harding were out of whack all night. I was hoping Dembele would show more signs of improvement.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Dembele looks like the type of player we’ve been begging Fran to bring to Iowa. However, he seems to be as quick and athletic as Glen Worley.

 

[kenos]

dembele is a budget worley. hopefully not as turnover-prone but the same basic model, just the downmarket version.

tadjo is ridiculously raw.

why does iowa end up with the only white mr. basketball pg who can't shoot?

 

[Jim Tebow]

Harding 2/8 shooting. Not going to cut it. 6/1 assist/to ratio was good. Also hit his only 3. Credit where due. But he was simply dominated athletically by the other team's guards. When thelwell subbed in during second half is when iowa finally blew doors open. Thelwell was bigger and stronger than their guards. Was able to play defense sccordingly, which is what iowa is badly, badly needing.
