The Circus is in town official game thread

[Northside Hawk]

Have we ever had an opposing player's number more than Gabe Kalescheur?

Going back to his Minnesota days, you could build that new arena in downtown IC with all the bricks he's laid.

withstand the early run in the 2nd half and they can cruise to victory. ISU will win games but it won't be because of their ability to make jump shots.

Different story when we're short handed

He’s been playing well since mid last year though. He deserves these minutes even if he doesn’t get them when Kris is healthy. He’s so good at basketball so I’ve always enjoyed watching him, now he’s added some offense too, bonus

Had to DVR the game, way behind

 

[Northside Hawk]

Don't like the 9 turnovers. That's a games worth. Ball was moving well early, then got a little sloppy.

Take your time, enjoy it.

it is not just him. none of those dudes can shoot. Unless Grill is on fire(no pun intended) they ain't beating people with jump shots.

Agree, got sloppy, but some that I credit ISU. They can’t score for shit, but they are physical. Iowa seems insistent to show their not soft tonight. What good teams do at home.

Strange game and strange season thus far. Coming into this season I would have picked Patrick and Sandfort to be Iowa’s best shooters but thus far they both are playing like freshmen.

They were starting to punch the ball inside. Need to harass those guards. But generally speaking they're not designed to come back from huge defecits like this.

Iowa can grind this out. Fouls going to play a factor down the stretch. Ulis can get in the lane and to the hoop when ever he wants. As he develops that, with our wings, that’s gonna be nice.

 

[BigD]

Holy cow!

Maybe Kris should sit out a couple months

Well what can happen with a star player is the other players start to depend on that star player and don’t quite get into the game. There is a tendency to stand flat footed. With Chris being out all the players feel a need to contribute so they put out that extra effort instead of just trying to get the ball to Chris.

It is Kris with a 'K'. just sayin, not trying to nitpick.

That was Dean Smith's claim. (And that was just a walk on Osunnyi) That a team will always rise up the first game after a key player goes down.

I called him Keegan earlier tonight in another thread.

 

[BigD]

That’s what we need from Pat.

TV timeout at 15? up by 20 at that point and it is over.
