Look at it this way....they have to come to Carver

It came down to the home court, the free throws, and the fact that they crashed the boards off the baseline with at least 5 tip ins/ 2nd positions. The last should be painfully obvious when watching film and we better adjust next time. I have no doubt we crush them at home and beat them by double digits on a neutral court. Last night all the 50/50 balls went their way and it was one of those perfect storm games. Only during the first 10 in the 2nd half did the game play out as it should.

Jebus....man up peeps....we all had this game in the "L" column preseason. We're at least 3-4 games over where everyone thought we'd be.

Stoked about the rematch at Carver. So many questions left unanswered in this one.

Can Indiana catch fire again from the perimeter like they did in the first half? Can they manage to make what seemed to be every desperation shot with the shot clock expiring? Can Yogi have that poor of a shooting night again?

Can Iowa hit free throws? Can Iowa figure out how to rebound? Can Iowa guard the perimeter while preventing uncontested layups?

I wasn't sure what to make of last nights game as I didn't think either team played exceptionally well and was shocked that IU couldn't stretch the lead into double digits the way they shot in the first half.

Truthfully I'm more concerned about Maryland winning the conference at this point since we don't play them again. That said I'm very interested in the rematch as I I'm not sure what type of game we'll see from Indiana away from their house.

IU did stretch the lead to double digits in the first half. They got it up to 16.

Indie loses at MSU & Wisconsin pulls the upset at Maryland, problem solved....
