We need to get Sandfort some more shots. The other guys are not even close. I can't remember a season where there's been so many bricks and airballs from 3. Maybe they are getting tired from logging too many minutes. Earlier in the year I thought maybe Kingsbury would be getting a shot at...

I think you have to give him the game ball tonight. He's been clutch!

They're going to have to raise their play a notch or two to win this one. Northwestern has gotten tougher from last year.

Thanks, I thought we beat them at home but I guess not. Rutgers slimed out two close home games against both us and OSU and didn't play either opponent on the road.

I'm not sure what bothers me more, losing this game the way we did or getting beat out by Rutgers for the double-bye. How was that tiebreaker decided?

It would be interesting to see our player + and - for the Big 10 season. Where can one find those stats?

In one of the NBA games last week one team fouled up 3 and fouled the guy who subsequently made the shot and free throw. Ended up losing by 1. Dredd just made a tough shot over Keegan. There was really a little too much time left to foul him with 10 seconds to go.

Too tempting when your guy is way back in the paint and daring you to shoot, I guess.

This could very well be Iowa's worst rebounding team ever. It's amazing how we can't seem to grab a clean rebound on either end.

The most concerning thing for me is how bad our rebounding is. Clones have 10 offensive boards already.

Northside, I would have to say Kevin Smith was the quickest Hawkeye I have ever seen, and Garner may be a close second.

Yeah, he absolutely neutralized Williams and made things really difficult on him every time they went mano y mano. Hell of a gutsy performance.

For a minute I was having flashbacks of Iowa's big 22-point comeback win at Illinois back in the late 80's when we had B. J, Ed, Roy and Kevin. We really ratcheted up the defensive pressure on the Boilers and made em sweat. Painter is really giving props to bow much tougher the Hawks...

I am impressed with how active the Hawk defense has been, even missing arguably our best defensive player in Keegan. We have never had this many guards who can hound the ball and rotate out on the shooters.

Wow, no one has mentioned the most accurate 3-pt shooter in Hawk history-Kent McCausland. This guy cranked in 52% of his 3-pt shots in the 96-97 season and ended up above 45% for his career.
