JFC. What is Pemsl doing fouling 30' away from the basket?

 

[DDThompson]

Ohio St may beat us by 40

Only if they play for 40 minutes. They’ll call if the dogs with 5 to play. Iowa closes the game to 18.

No. When you’re crappy on defense the number of possessions doesn’t matter.

W and L would be the same. In fact, with fewer possessions we lose the Illinois game.

It would change the teams mindset and not let 15-0 runs happen as often. Our half court defense would be a little better, but we would give up less easy buckets.

 

[DDThompson]

Poor coaching/leadership?

Yes

 

[smitharooney]

Would Pemsl even start for Drake?

 

[lightning1]

Holy crap! This team is Dr Jekel and Mr. Hyde. 1 week they play great. Few days later couldn’t beat a YMCA old man squad. How in the blue hell can this happen? Just doesn’t make sense. It’s like they are playing like this on purpose. No way you can go from 1 extreme to another in less then a week. Can’t even watch anymore...

Wisconsin/Minnesota with multiple injuries/depleted rosters = we look great
Any team with D-1 guards = we get our doors blown off!
That's how it happens.

The sad part is if Cook had Nic Baer’s basketball IQ and motor he’d be the best player in the conference.

He'd be 1 and done

I bet Penn State has gotten offensive rebounds on half their misses.

 

[smitharooney]

We’ve outscored them in the second half!!!!! Go hawks!!!!!

“As often”
“Little better”
“Give up less easy buckets”

I’m not arguing with you. Just answering your question about W-L.

With those sad qualifiers the answer is the record would be no different.

Iowa MBB: Second Half Champs

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

As ugly as it's been, missed layups and way below avg shooting from 3 is this difference in a blowout and a tight game.

And unforced turnovers...

And defensive position....

And...ugh...

 

[lightning1]

We're only 38 pts below our season avg, with 9 mins to play.

 

[DDThompson]

Would Pemsl even start for Drake?

Yes. He has 4-6 inches on everyone on their roster. But he might play fewer minutes.

[revkev73]

I would hate to be the announcers for this game...

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

I bet Penn State has gotten offensive rebounds on half their misses.

And another...

 

[EstronHawkKing]

three Iowa guys down low, missed PSU jumper and another PSU player blows by the 3 Iowa guys. That is just awful!!

 

[revkev73]

The officials have mailed it in...Fran has mailed it in...the players have mailed it in...let's just get out of here...not miss our flights.
