Iowa vs UMKC Game Thread

[ClintonIAfan]

Iowa is also rebounding the ball very well. They are forcing a lot of bad shots by UMKC, and not letting them get many second chances. The off-season focus on defense is definitely paying off.

On btn plus there is usually a blue screen at halftime.

Is Yosemite Sam calling the game?

Yeah.....

Iowa played great team defense in the first half, Joe Wieskamp has hit 4 3 pointers, and Iowa’s aggressive offense is earning them a lot of free throws.

Iowa leads 34-26 at halftime.

LMAO!!! You couldn’t be more wrong Homer!! Especially when UMKC missed a ton of wide open shots. Lol

Turnover on the last possession of the 1st half, then the other team banks in 3 at the buzzer. You can mark those both off your bingo card

This guy has the worst TV voice my ears have ever witnessed. I don't care what country he grew up in, that sounds is not pleasant.

I don’t think there’s any reason to panic over sloppy play on the first half of the season. The spread is 24, I imagine Iowa will easily cover it, but there’s no denying they didn’t look sharp

JBO not in good standing with FM for the to. 5 point swing

Better effort tonight so far. Weiskamp is the goods. He isn't all conference yet, but you never know once that confidence bug bites. He moves really well even at the college level. He has the ceiling of a blue chip recruit. He will need a little time to adjust, but I bet by the end of the season he will be in the conversation for best player on the team.

Our upperclassmen look sloppy. I can forgive JBo with the bum foot, but Cook, Baer, Moss and Pemsel are not looking polished yet. That's a slight disappointment, but I will give it time iron out before anger kicks in.

Defense is a marginal improvement. Considering the competition though you can't get too excited yet. There still seems to be a high level of confusion with the sub group on defense. That needs to be remedied or the rotation needs to go way down. I say it even while I know it wont happen.

Probably won't be the last time that scenario plays out this season

JoeW is the bright spot. He is ready to play.....

At least the band is playing well

It’s on the card every game, I get lots of bingos

Thats funny because its hard to believe both of those happened in the first half of the first game.

Iowa also missed a lot of open 3's in 1st half.

Who really thinks we cover the 24 points?

 

[smhawk]

The more experienced annoucer is good but he's keep eating his mic..

 

[tksirius]

Struggling in the first half of these early cupcake games is rather normal under Fran. We usually pull away quite a bit in the 2nd half though. We should cover.

You think we will cover?? We might lose to the kangaroos
