Iowa just beat the #1 Pomeroy team

If you didn't watch the game and only went by the box score, you might wonder where Marble was with only seven points. Those who watched realize that the two shots he hit were key to coming out of Madison with a win. What a great day to be a Hawkeye basketball fan, especially one who remembers watching Roy Marble in Carver back in the day!!

Marble is winning me over game after game. He's learned he isn't a three point shooter and takes it in closer. He also did some great things on defense. I don't remember who he was on near the end of the game but the guy was trying to take Marble to the hoop and pull off some pump fakes and it didn't work at all.
 
The last four games Iowa has played during the regular season, Iowa is 2-2, the two wins coming against Purdue and Wisconsin (one of them on the road). The Purdue win at the end of last year was a huge huge win just to show the players that they can win. The players have to learn how to win and that is not easy.


Amazing win! Makes you wonder what the heck happens outside of playing other Big 10 teams.

Always good to see Bucky go down at home.
 
If you haven't visited the Badger message boards yet, do so. It is priceless! The meltdown they are having is absolutely awesome. Do yourself a favor and enjoy!
 
A healthy Cartwright who is confident in his hamstring is an enormous addition. He blew past the Badgers all night. They had no answer at all.

Also loved seeing Olesani getting meaningfully minutes. Tells me he is earning coaches confidence. He had no stars but didn't look lost out there and kept fresh legs in the floor.
 
Great team win. Everyone was in sync for the most part and we never got cold (acception, that 7-0 run after halftime)
