Northwestern in 2nd place...what the *ell.....Official Iowa @ Northwestern Game Thread

[Dadman]

Damn, glad that half of basketball is over

 

[Northside Hawk]

2 for 17 from 3! That must be a record for a half this season in college ball!

Check our Nebraska stats from December 29. But yes it should be going inside second half.

 

[MILHAWKEYE]

The good news is we can't shoot that bad from 3 in the second half, or can we?

Quite the Brick House Iowa has built....not even the big bad wolf can blow it down.

 

[trj]

more than capable of scoring 50 points in the 2nd half...gotta start making some of these open looks, tho.

 

[HuckFinn]

Weird game. We are a better team. So cold from 3. Way under our usual scoring total. Turnovers are outlandish. NW defense is good, no doubt. But, we have had plenty of open looks. Like, plenty. So, NW D looks good partially because we are totally out of sorts on our shooting. Hoped we could get to single digit game by halftime. Thank you, Mr. Ulis. So we are within striking distance. I think we may pull this one out. If not? So what. BTW, our D is not too bad. Rebounding pretty competitive. Let’s pull out a squeaker…

 

[MILHAWKEYE]

I am surprised we're not further behind. We can do this!

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Can we stop playing like a chicken with it's head cut off?!

 

[HawkGold]

Who is playing NW tonight? Sure aint Iowa

You mean the Iowa that defends the 3 isn't here...or the one that doesnt.

 

[HawkGold]

Same team that we racked up 110 on in the conference tournament.

Basketball is a funny game sometimes.

This isn't funny!

 

[HaydenHawk56]

stupid foul Ulis.

 

[thedukeofearl]

stupid foul Ulis.

Should have let it go

Or smash his arm before he puts it up

 

[jocohawk]

stupid foul Ulis.

Might as well press and for e the action instead of giving layups at the end of the clock

 

[trj]

man, they can't defend on ball screens tonight. Buie and Audige can do whatever they want.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Sorely missed Perkins in the first half.

 

[Northside Hawk]

stupid foul Ulis.

Could have been intentional foul.

 

[thedukeofearl]

We Back Bitches

 

[trj]

Here's the run

 

[Northside Hawk]

I don't mind a loss, but would have a problem with a "blueprint loss".

A blueprint loss is when your weaknesses are so readily exposed that other teams can use this game for future reference.

That said long way from over tonight. But this is where Patrick has to do something. If we get nothing from Patrick in this stretch, we lose.
