3 Iow Men’s Basketball assumed: the same hawks, the same story, the Sioux City Journal

Columbus, Iowa’s Ohio-male basketball was left without a win in road games with 82-65 loss to Ohio on Monday.

Hawkis (13-8, 4-6 large ten) shoots well below the percentage of its goal for the season of 50.5% of the season, continuing 24-on-61 (39.3%) of the floor and losing the battle for rebound 43 -31 as a bouquet (12-8, 4-5 Big Ten) escaped with the victory in the second half.

Chief trainer Fran McCoferi pointed out the lack of Iowa’s offensive struggles during a press conference after playing with Hawkeye radio network.

“We got into the first possession of the second half – we felt good at this,” McCoferi said. “They lasted a little. We did not respond properly in this section. We start shooting the ball a little quickly, but we have some really good looks. It wasn’t like some of the other games we would start hiding in, and we did it several times, but not too bad.

“But when we were missing, we didn’t come back. In the first half we had seven offensive struggles, we completed the game with seven offensive struggles. When you have a section like us where abll does not drop, even when we perform and get good pictures, you have to come back and return it and return it. This way you can regain your protection. You are not always in transition. “

Only two Hawkeyes – Owen Freeman and Drew Telwell – scored during the first 12 minutes of the race. Freeman scored 11 points, and Telwell added five to fight a bouquet to a draw of 16-16 with 8:32, left in half.

This trend continued as the state of Ohio to build a 30-26 lead in the break. Freeman and Telwell finished 11 points each, while Seidu Trare and Peyton Sandfre added only two points each.

Freeman and Telwell were combined to cross 9 to 16 of the pitch and 3-from-3 of the three-point scope, all from Telwell, while the rest of the team went 2 of 16 from the floor and 0-11 outside.

BucKeyes ahead of Hawkeyes 27-11 in the first 10 minutes of the second half and operated runs of 7-0 and 9-0 to build a 20-point, 57-27 lead with the remaining 10:23.

Ohio State ended the second half with 52 points in the frame to capture a 17 -point victory.

Telwell led Iowa with 20 points, Freeman finished with 14, and Sandfort and Traore added 13 in number.

Michai Parish led the bouquets with 18 points. Bruce Thornton (15), John Maurlly -Jr. (12) and Devin Royal (12) also reached double numbers in victory.

Iowa’s loss from Ohio – his fifth road loss during the season – played just like the previous four losses at the conference.

Hokis took a slow start on the road, passing 3 out of 12 from the floor to fall from the gate. Then, after briefly fighting back into the game, he lags behind halftime and continued to fight in the second half.

Mccaffry also set the blame for the inability to respond to the two Ohio runs at the beginning of the second half.

“We always remain positive,” McCoferi said. “But we have to do better work on the road when the other team goes. We must be able to manage this situation better. We need a little leadership there and we need to be able to stop when the ball does not drop. “

In the losses of the Big Ten, the team fights outside, firing with combined 48 to 145 (33.1%) in these five competitions compared to 48-from-105 (45.7%) in four wins in the conference.

In his five roads for the road, Iowa loses an average of 16.8 points.

To put it, the loss of BucKeyes was a game that Iow’s fans have become too accustomed to seeing this season.

With 10 games down and 10 games that will go in the regular season, Hawkis qualifies in the lower half of the big ten.

When the Play at the conference resumed the beginning of the month, Freeman and Telwell emphasized the confidence of the team and their belief in their ability to compete in the large ten.

The team, however, who pushed Michigan and Iowa, did not appear consistent enough for Iowa to be a contender.

In 10 games, Iowa owns a minus-52, marking a differential in the league game.

Traore suggested an approach to the way forward when discussing the loss with the Hawkeye radio network.

“It’s a collective effort,” Traore said. “When our starting five failed to do so, we would just have been responsible and hold on to each other. We just have to stay together.

“Sometimes we shook a little. We are much better than what we have shown today. We just have to go back to the gym and fulfill our game. We just have to stay mentally strong and stay together. “

In the last 10 conference games of Iowa, Hokis have faced five of the best six teams in the league.

Seven of their last 10 opponents qualify for the first 30 teams of the current net rankings, including Purdue (Net 9) and Illinois (NET 10).

Silver Lining: Iowa receives five of these seven games at home, where it is 11-2 for the season.

There are two ways to look at these final 10 games: there are more fights ahead or Iowa can seriously help his chances to win an offer for one of the numerous tournaments after the season.

According to Traore, McCoferi’s message after the game to the team focuses on the optimistic of these two approaches.

“There is still a lot of basketball left,” Traore said. “We can’t hold our head down. We just have to continue to improve. “

Forward: The Hawkes take the rest of the week before returning to Carver-Hauki Arena to host No. 10 Purdu (16-5, 8-2 large ten) on Tuesday (Paun, 18:00) and No. 17 Wisconsin ( 16-4, 6-3 Big Ten) on Saturday (NBC, lunch).
