Northwestern game thread.

Iowa has a lot of size inside. Keep pounding it and Northwestern will have to foul.

Mel with the tip in!

Iowa is out playing Northwestern. We don't deserve to lose.

What I said is if they allow NwU to hang around within 5-7 points. That, along with 4 times as many turnovers, would not be the results of "outplaying" this team, that they should beat by 20 -- road or not.

Terrible turn of events

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Olah should be fouled out by now. Uses his body on the shooter every possession.

 

[docholihawk]

Why does Woody always jump out so high on defense. It worked out this time but I don't think he has the quicks to get back on defense when he does that.

 

[BlacknGold19]

They are mugging us and getting away with it. Not much you can do but hope to grind out a win in these circumstances

NU just keeps hanging around.

No that means Iowa isn't playing well enough to beat them by 20 points.

Northwestern has a lot of confident right now.

 

[docholihawk]

Just started the 2nd half but I'd like for White and Marble to get a lot more aggressive on the offensive side of things.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

It's very frustrating to watch Iowa keep taking steps backward on the offensive end of the floor. Play like you know what you're doing and like your capable of playing. Attention, discipline and focus have been sorely lacking for going on 2-1/2 halves of the last 3 games.

So in the last minutes Marble was handchecked on the perimeter, Gesell was held on a screen and some guy put his hand on Marble's back. To be fair, Woody handchecked their oaf center at the midcourt line but the NCAA is totally putting emphasis on this ****.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Keep going inside and refs will eventually be forced to make those calls.

 

[BlacknGold19]

Good timeout by Fran

 

[jacknicholson]

Woody's passing makes up a bit for the turnovers.....

Very good passing for a Big

 

[docholihawk]

Was that a Northwestern foul I saw or a ufo?

 

[HawkeyeShane]

I love how Iowa just has to have stretches where they don't just have things not go their way, but also insist on not doing anything correctly...not infuriating at all...

They're a bunch of wieners whose low bar of success is to be within 8 of a top 10 team. Of course their confident. They still suck though.

the handchecking calls have almost entirely gone away. it's ugly.
