Negatives, okay there are a ton so I'll just mention a couple.
1. Moss. He is having a really tough time getting open. I don't think he knows how to move without the ball very well.
2. No true post defender. Obviously Haas I a handful, but there are other bigs in this league that will give us fits (Bryant, Happ, Ward).
3. No rim protectors.
4. When Wagner does go back to the bench, we are going to have little scoring options off the bench.
5. Jok decided defense was optional again tonight. That won't cut it.
6. Fran likes watching teams shoot wide open 3s in his zone.
7. If Uhl can't shoot anymore, we are basically going to have 2 guys on the floor at all times that can't shoot, unless we see more Baer at the 4.

You are not right saying Iowa is only better than 3 B1G teams, problem is you wont bet that they are only better than 3 teams you will only bet they are better than 5 teams???? So even you are saying you don't believe that Iowa is better than only 3 B1G teams.
What teams do you think we're better than right now? I'll hang up and listen

I know we are better than more at least 4 other teams and am willing to bet on it. You on the other hand will only spout off that Iowa is only better than 3 other teams, but won't stand behind it.
Who are they right now? I gave you Rutgers Penn State and Nebraska who's the 4th?

Oh come on, 56, you and the rest of us do not know where Iowa rates in the BT after one game. Give your continued bsshing of Iowa a rest and let the year play out.
I'm talking about right now on what we've seen so far this season. I'm not talking about where we'll finish up

nebby beat indiana today
We're still better than them right now
The Purdue coach had his team prepared for Iowa, and a young team is going to have night like tonight. I was impressed with Bohannon although he didn't shoot good from three tonight. Ellingson is over any stage fright he might of had. Neither of these guys will probably face a harder defense than what they got tonight from Purdue. With Iowa playing Purdue twice in the first five games, Painter probably focused hard on Iowa. The good news is that Indiana lost if your a Nebraska fan. Iowa is going to be fun to watch this year. This was the first away from home conference game, and I thought they acquitted themselves pretty well.

Indiana or Purdue? You think we can win at Indiana? Indiana hasn't been able to win at Indiana in the Big Ten thus far either.

Behind by 24 at the half, I believe.....
Played them even the second half.....Lost by 22.....
This is progress.....
Tyler's comeback is very good news. He looks Good.....
Nowhere to go but Up.....
If I didn't see the smiley, I'd would have thought you a complete homer. The game wasn't as close as the score.
We're better than Nebraska
The game was exactly as close as the score. That line is reserved for games where the winner pulled their starters with 8 minutes left and the losers made a comeback with their starters. In this game, the end of our bench was playing their all American while he tried to get a rebound. Did you see any indication of Purdue letting up? I sure didn't.

You can't really put any stock in it. With a big lead it's hard to maintain game face. It's an emotional factor. At that point one team is more serious than the other.
I agree. But it's not like they drained every shot they threw up in the first half because they were more serious. Or rimmed out a bunch of shots in the second half because they quit caring. If anything, it looked more like Purdue asserted themselves more in the second half. The first half was more about shots falling.

Well, I'm not putting much stock in it. The first half was more about Iowa's offense scoring 25 points than Purdue's shots falling. Purdue was 24 out of 38 from 2 points. Some of that comes off of misses.
Going back to the NCAA loss last year, the Hawks haven't done well with teams with a Strong inside presence. That does not bode well for the Big Ten where almost everyone will be stronger at the point as well. Hope I'm wrong.
