The official Northwestern @ #24 Iowa game thread....Iowa gets win #21

[BeerZaux]

Kugler is on fire tonight

JFC, it takes Conner 5 years to shoot like this

 

[InGoodCo]

At this point, gotta credit Fran for his scheduling even if it was cupcakes. He knew his team. He was aggressive the season before when he knew he had a good team.

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Ash with extended minutes.

 

[InGoodCo]

Ash with almost 6 minutes. This is as good as Iowa has been in conference in a long while

 

[Hawkboys]

Thought I saw Conner make another 3!

If CMac can shoot 3s at 30+% clip, IA can beat anyone in both tourneys.

 

[InGoodCo]

How well has Jordan been since the bench Jordan thread?

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Ash bingo card 3 good!

 

[99topdawg]

That missed dunk was better than if he'd have done a layup.

 

[InGoodCo]

Ash!!!! Tony could have brought the house down

 

[InGoodCo]

Couldn’t love this more, he was going for it. Can’t hate that

 

[InGoodCo]

Fran has kept the guys who won’t be back out the longest.

 

[thedukeofearl]

Ash scores from Caitlin Clark territory

Perkins looking like Jordan

Connor going crazy with 5 threes

Damn

 

[Northside Hawk]

Odds Ash hits a 3 in scrub time tonight?

That was almost a 4.

 

[trj]

Fran replace Pikiell as the runner up to coach of the year

 

[InGoodCo]

Can’t remember a team being this dominant- that said, things get a lot harder. I’d love to see Iowa increase their seed to 6/5/4 line.

Getting into that 5 line buys us some time from these fellas.

This team deserves a double bye. Their defense has been so much better since JBo moved to the point.. Needed to get the Rutgers and Penn State games. Those losses will cost them the double.

They did, but we’re also part of the ride that led us to where we are. We weren’t as good of a team when we played those games

What I mean is, when does revisionist history stop? Since Keegan is a 1st round draft prospect, should he have been given more minutes last year? Or was he behind a lot of talented players? I could hear arguments for both, but I’d argue that last year’s experience are what lead Keegan to this exact spot.
