Terrific down the stretch…..these two guys simply refused to lose.
And some nice minutes from Bryce Cartwright as well.
Zach McCabe is really turning into a Beast.
Again, another super freshie game from Aaron White.
Congrats to the Hawkeyes! Let’s get 2 in a row going!
Interesting that Roy Sr. got some air time since Devyn was selected MVP, good to hear some happy moments.
The drive and jam by Marble was awesome! So was his pass to under the basket at game’s end to seal it.
We need 2 Marbles, 2 Whites, and 2 Gatens every game after seeing how they played tonight, and I was only able to watch the second half. All three were dedicated to win.
I was a bit disappointed how Iowa let up driving to the board when they got behind, especially after all the fouls they were able to draw early in the 2nd half by doing so. Wished they would have kept it up when they fell behind by ten so they could have been shooting more free throws and making more points with the clock stopped.
But it was a great finish, no matter what!
GO HAWKS!!!!
Only regret is that Oglesby passed up too many shots and attempted too many drives. If he’d have taken a few of those shots we might have had a bit of a spread.
We also out-stole them 11-1, out-rebounded them 37-34, and for once someone committed more turnovers than us, 17 to our 10.
FT shooting was poor again, 17/26 for 65%. We almost lost to them last month because of missed FTs.
I think what felt great about this game was that they were able to come back in the last two minutes. They didn’t give up and they played with an intention to win. That was wonderful to see. My hat off to McCabe, Marble, Gatens and of course, Mr. White. He is going to be one heck of player .
President Hawklove, it sure looked bleak in the last 2-3 minutes, didn’t it?
The move that won the game was McCabe coming back in. His defense and toughness is about as good as you get.
I thought we had loss, but these kids don’t give up. I can’t believe how guys who shoot 30% from the three as a team can shoot 50/60% against us.I do think that many times we got fouled as they went up for the shot and often as Mn went over the back.
Some reason we don’t get the same calls as other do.
Oh well lets win two in a row.
I actually was able to let my JV team out of practice early tonight due to a wrestling meet so I was able to see the 2nd Half. It was much more pleasant than the awful performance on Sunday. I was so excited to see the Hawks live for the first time in a month and then they laid an egg.
I just wish we could be more consistant, but I guess with 3 soph. and 2 freshman getting so many minutes its to be expected.
3 pt defense seemed to struggle a bit as well, I believe Minny was 10-19.
We had been terrible against Tubby’s Gophers so a season sweep is a definite sign of progress.
It sure did, NYC. It reminded me of the old days – Dr. Tom’s and Lute’s, except that I had no hope, when in the old days, I always did.
P.S. I don’t have to run for reelection in Nov, do I? :) Can I declare myself President for life, or will there be a hawkcentral Spring if I did?
Matt is having a great season, he has a chance to reach the top ten in career scoring. If we can make it a couple of rounds in the B10 tourny and play in some sort of post season tournament he could get to 7 or 8.
Side note of the players ranked 7-10 only Dean Oliver played four years. (Don Nelson 10, Andre Woolridge 9, Adam Hluska 7)
Whew, I am glad to see they win after bragging them up on the live game thread. I am also glad to see the guy I picked before the season started to be the SLEEPER (McCabe) doing so well. Now if I can just figure out Mega Millions I should be alright. :)
President Hawklove: You can go for forty years (that’s the limit), and then there will be a hc spring, and you and Mubarak might become neighbors. :) Think of it this way, Sharm el Sheykh is one of the most beautiful resorts in the world!
Big D: I’ve been trying, and the closest I have ever gotten was guessing 2 numbers and the MEGA. Think I won $40!
It would have been such a downer if we had lost tonight!
Lol, I bought three tickets once and didn’t get one number right. I glad we won tonight. I can’t wait to watch it when I get home from work.
enjoy it, big d. get a cold beer from the fridge and cherish the win. or some single malt scotch as our friend, president HL, loves to do. of course he’s a president and he can afford it. :) myself, i’m not a scotch drinker , nor beer, so can’t help with the brand. but if you r a vodka man, gray goose and belvediere would be my suggestions.
i’m trying to imagine what we would all be saying, if god forbid, we had lost. the same game, the same efforts, but a different result: bad D, missing easy shots, not making free throws…. u r right persian, that would have been the worse downer of the season – i think the difference is that we now think we can win some of these games, and thank god we are.
