Woodshed getting a legit reason to cry today.

Meanwhile not over yet, but three games in six days may be catching up to Rutgers, as well as the emotion of knocking off Purdue. They're making a run now, but they haven't shot well and they look uncharacteristically lost on defense.

But over Josh? Haven't heard any mention of him being out.

not over Josh, but if he can give you 2-3 minutes here and there it would be valuable to a team that is basically a 7-man rotation.

So it is super important to steal this.

Rutgers literally got five loose balls that possession.

Gotta take advantage if they're flat. That's a tough place to win. But we suddenly look tired.

Obviously want Iowa to win but a better Rutgers is good for Big. Hope they are for real and not just a flash.

Remember when Wisky was a tough out but never near the top. Wesley Mathews putting Iowa tied for Big Campionship with Barry Carroll and Magic Big was at its Ncaa best when almost the whole conference was good.

Did someone say Sandfort was a HUGE MISS!

Purdue might have opinion to offer on that matter...

They should have made the Sweet Sixteen two years ago. They completely lost their poise late vs Houston who would eventually win the regional.

Maybe Sanfort is finally back.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Did someone say Sandfort was a HUGE MISS!

We need him today. Rebraca is struggling this half with Rutgers' size.

Sandfort can't be getting gray hair already.

Looks better than Chucky Hepburn's burnt sienna barf stain.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Sandfort can't be getting gray hair already.

He saw a burning bush and now he can shoot again.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Regardless of how this ends, gotta give Fran credit. Banged up, short handed, and an early Sunday game out east after a late, late Thursday definitely qualifies as a quick turnaround.

Boy ... Ulis really is not a very good point guard.
Overcome the weak link, Hawks!

Northwestern beating Indiana at Indiana....bullshit.

Bowen struggled today as well

Iowa>Rutgers>Purdue.....is that how this works?

I lost the under, but Iowa won so it is all good.
