Hawks shuck the Huskers

[trj]

Anytime we can extend our season by beating Nebraska is a good day!

I thought they were going to get smoked…glad to be wrong.

Pleasantly surprised. Always good to slap the Huskers.

Sure would have been nice to have the team we had Garza's senior year this year. Might have won the conference this year.

I enjoyed watching the recording of the game from this morning. The players did a nice job even though this is Iowa's version of a play-in game. Every game from here on out will be a one and done play-in game. We have to win the B!G tournament to make it to the NCAA. It would be absolutely incredible if it happens. I will be cheering the guys on.

Got home in time to watch the final 16 minutes. Thrilled for the Hawkeye players (and coach), but boy, those were two subpar teams out there. Even in the win, Iowa's offense was SO stagnant -- basically standing around looking at the guy with the ball. Nebraska is really undertalented for the BTen, and I don't think they scored a basket the last 6-7 minutes of the game. The 2nd half was more the Huskers missing shots endlessly and losing it than Iowa winning it, but hey, a W is a W!
Couldn't believe Hoiberg didn't press, didn't do ANYTHING to try to change the momentum and get the crowd involved in the 2nd half.
I think Nebraska is soon going to stop scheduling Iowa as their last game of the season: beating their football team and denying them a bowl game two years in a row, and now keeping their bball team out of the BTen tourney!
