**Western Carolina vs Iowa - 12/18/18 - 8:00 pm - BTN**

[Geese]

3 shitty non con games to go. Hawks favored by 24 but will probably win by a million. Lets have day lets go.

 

[douglasbader]

11-2 going into the 18 remaining games is going to be nice.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Shit I just remembered I have four tickets I can’t use if anyone wants them.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Hope we win

I think you have season tickets.

Just need to go .500 or better in conference and likely win one in the BTT and should make the tourney as a ~6-8 seed

 

[Shawneemicks]

I really really hope Iowa goes 10-10 in the league cuz Shawnee wants to see if they get in. So many are acting like it’s automatic, no brainer.

I don’t believe Iowa is getting the benefit of the doubt from any committee especially if they get their shit pushed in vs the top half of the league like they did in EL.

You're a weird fan, Ace.

You also wear Nebrantska clothing.

Panther and Catamount are different names for the same animal (as well as cougar, mountain lion, and puma). Catamount comes from "cat of the mountain (cat o' mount).

The UNI Panthers and the Western Carolina Catamounts are different names for the same purple team. I look forward to watching the junior high kids on the end of Iowa's bench launch threes for the last five minutes of the game.

Iowa 96
Pumas 69

 

[Berzerkenpas]

Cullowhee is pretty cool, and I have good memories of plugging the books at City Lights in Sylva. Western's English department is cool. But, their basketball team sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks. At least they are getting paid well for the trip.

11-9 Giant Douche. 8 seed.

Our league schedule is pretty damn tough

nice

If they do go 11-2 in the non-conference what will it take in the Big Ten? Does 10-10 get them a NCAA at large? Maybe not after what we saw happen to Nebrantska last year (fully realizing Iowa's conference schedule is more difficult than Nebrantska's last year).

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Even at 10-10 it’s gonna be hard for us to have any bad losses in conference, so I suspect it will be enough

I think Savannah State is actually the worst team in the nation...so you think we lose tonight?

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I would not have complained if this week's games were on the road. I'd enjoy a week in the Carolinas.

 

[scottsdalehawk]

Duh, those damn early BT games. So 11-0..............11-9 should do it.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

That game was a sure cure for insomnia.

 

[hawkeyealum]

Boring

 

[Bonner]

That was ugly.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I’ve long supported buy games during this time of the year, but geez

[douglasbader]

bohannon has had a terrible first part of the season. 33% from the floor and 32% from three.

That should mean he will catch fire the second half and even out. If he shoots even close to what he did last year Iowa will be hard to beat.

Yup. So far JBo been playing like a giant turd on fire.

Go hoks!

That’s not how this works.jpg

 

[TurdBurgler]

Ya know a real surprise has been Baer, who has gone back to the bench and been really solid in his original role, and hes taking/making 3s at a really good rate right now. He leads the team in steals & blocks too.

 

[douglasbader]

They need to be healthy and stay out of foul trouble, but the shortened rotation has been great for everyone.

Assuming he’s not hurt

Baer has had a great first part of the season. 45 percent from the floor, 39 percent from three.

That should mean he will shit himself and lay a turd the second half and even out. If he shoots even close to what he did last year Iowa will be easier to beat.

Those numbers are on par with what he played like his first 2 years when his role and minutes were similar, so no.

Denied.

Baer must have grown up in a house with short doorways.

We could use more Weiskamp/Baer minutes at the SF/PF. More shooting on the floor with Connor at PG and they're probably our best rebounders.

Kreiner couldn't even make it through last nights game without pissing Fran off.

 

[The Dad]

Kreiner is exactly the type of guy that crotches a three pointer. He’s going to fire a layup off the bottom of the backboard before the season is over too.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

He got a few solid offers and Fran of course had to throw him an offer since he's an Iowa kid. He would never hear the end of it if Kriener was decent and he didn't offer so I can't fault Fran.

Except Kriener sucks. He should be playing at Drake. Hopefully with Pemsl and Nunge back next season Kriener is on the floor less.

 

[TurdBurgler]

I totally disagree - we would be in bad shape without Kreiner. Having a serviceable backup 5 will be huge when Big ten gets going. Garza can't play the whole game plus there is always foul trouble.

I’m going to continue to refer to him as Grizzly Pits

 

[CurdMan]

Lol at the Kriener hate. He’s not great, but he’s definitely serviceable. Better than a lot of other 2000s Hawkeye forwards and centers

 

[Billy Butters]

I don't hate Kriener, I just don't want to see him shoot jump shots anymore. He is very skilled in the post but always wants to drift outside.

I tend to think Nunge would be better right now, especially defensively, so that probably makes me dwell on the stupid shit Kriener does even more.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Everyone would like Kriener if he would rein himself in a bit.
