**Official Michigan State @ Iowa Game Thread Tuesday 6:00 PM ESPN**

[Geese]

I could barely focus on the game. I was staring at Fran standing there half mast all game.

 

[nolookpass]

defense and rebounding are The Keys.(sorry Joe)

 

[hawkeyealum]

Kris getting more time with starters has been a big boost

 

[douglasbader]

If Bader starts another game thread, we are fucked.

Did you miss the shit show to Michigan that I didn't start? Good job on that, fuckface.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I’m going to start the game thread @Nebrantska

 

[Alan Lomax]

Really hope this is a good and growing team getting better, and not a good team peaking too soon.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I remember being quite disappointed when neither of the Hausers came to Iowa. Joey fucking sucks so I missed the ball in that one. Maybe Sam don’t is doing well somewhere, IDK.

Hall and Walker are both >50% from 3 with about 50 attempts each. Doesn’t make sense why they don’t start.

 

[Bonner]

You have anger problems you piece of shit. I’m starting to think you believe whomever starts a game thread actually can control of the outcome.

Yes, since it is me that made a post about it and not you. I'm glad you were able to get the format sort of right by the third try.

Good job, moron!

You’re so weird with the “gotcha” posts. It’s embarrassing.

As embarrassing as getting thrown out of your own car?

 

[Pinehawk]

How bout them Hawkeyes! Hell yes!

 

[Hawkstrat]

Sorry, we've moved to the Doug beefs with someone portion of the thread.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Crowd was great. Beer was going down fast because it was fucking hot in there. Sub 10 min cone trip.

 

[Harlan]

Bad day for Howler. First being found guilty in OCC then this.

 

[rodg12]

So happy they mended things with Dev and he was back for this.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Ok

 

[Shawneemicks]

What’s up fag?

I was enormously wrong, Ivan.
Thank you for making me own it.

 

[ivan_drago]

Just here to keep you honest, Shawnee.

 

[CamelTones]

 

[Dr. Zaius]

On a twosday

 

[Jim]

I had 2 beers at Carver. Holy shit!!!!!!!!

 

[Shawneemicks]

Just here to keep you honest, Shawnee.

I was a real dumbfuck with my prediction.
im embarrassed.

 

[Creed]

He also completely sucked.

 

[Debit One]

He also completely sucked.

Yes, he did. It was an unfortunate regression by Mr. P. McCaffery.

 

[Jim]

He also completely sucked.

He did have 6 rebounds or 2!!!!!! X 3.

His 2 (OMG!!!!!) made field goals wasn’t great.

 

[MikeyJoe]

He also completely sucked.

It's so incredibly obvious when he decides that he's going to shoot. Like it doesn't matter how many people are between him and the basket, by God that shot is going up.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Pat has been rebounding and defending better. If he is inefficient and they put up 86, it doesn’t bother me.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Tom, I’m bothered immensely by it ftr

 

[coff]

BAU

 

[coff]

He also completely sucked.

Yeah, Patrick was about the only negative last night. He had been playing better of late, but last night he went back to his bad habit of playing small.

 

[coff]

Until last night. His defense was atrocious. He let a MSU player simply go right past him for a layup twice last night.

 

[nolookpass]

I agree. Sometimes it almost appears he isn't playing hard like he's saving something. Not so much the last couple games and the last 7 minutes in the Michigan game.

 

[Hawkstrat]

It's also true that he's just kind of an awkward player. When his weird shots go in, you think he's figuring things out, but when they don't, it's ugly.

 

[CamelTones]

He hasn’t really been taking awkward shots lately though. He’s been mostly 3s and pull up 15 footers like his first shot last night.

Last night he reverted back to those contested layups where he throws it at the backboard.

 

[Alan Lomax]

We were watching last night and my wife noticed that about Pat. That's a real bad sign for a basketball player.

 

[BBK]

Remember when some of us thought Pat could be the next Aaron White.

If he was, imagine how fuckin good this team would be

yes, I recall.

 

[Brad Wesley]

Flip continued his streak of at least five unnecessary falls to the floor and five tips to other players/out of bounds.

 

[nolookpass]

hope Connor's shoulder is ok. hes been obviously better of late.

 

[6deuce]

Only missed 2 FT's. Keegan and Ulis each missed one.

 

[Debit One]

P. McCaffery's patented drive to the middle of the lane, stop, and wildly pivot because he has no plan is infinitely better than his patented drive towards the baseline at breakneck pace and throw ball at the backboard maneuver.

 

[Rolo Tomassi]

It's so incredibly obvious when he decides that he's going to shoot. Like it doesn't matter how many people are between him and the basket, by God that shot is going up.

Perkins tends to do that too.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

 

[MikeyJoe]

Clearly a foul, but Joe's problem is that he often looks kind of out of control when he drives so he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt from the refs.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Not one to complain but here’s my complaint.

 

[The Dad]

Perkins tends to do that too.

Perkins shoots 3 times per week.

 

[Debit One]

I’ve noticed that Joe T’s feet going out from under him thing only happens on offense. Never on defense.

I’m surprised that he doesn’t get called for traveling more frequently as is sure looks like he is dragging his pivot foot around on some of those.
