The weather outside is frightful, IA injuries are not delightful, let it snow Maryland Game Thread

Great win but a lot of things had to go just right for this victory. First, we still had 18 TOs but they had 17, Garza & Weiskamp score 47, the rest of the team scored 20, and MD shot 32% and 18% from 3. Super happy about the outcome, but don't expect many more wins like this. Other guys need to step up and JT can't have so many TOs (5 in 16 minutes)

Can I get a blue ribbon too?

You get a trophy instead......

Just like a lot of things had to go just wrong to lose the other night.

Containing Cowen was key to the win

He killed us last year

He had 9 hard-earned points

2-10 game points

2-9 from threeland

3-7 on free throws

This was a HUGE win, we humiliated those pretenders

Those weak PUNKS

Will never forget this Royal Asskicking

Our free throw defense was off the charts tonight.

Iowa outrebounded the more athletic Terps 44-32.

what do we need to make the NCAA Tournament, about 10-11 more wins?

Good home win. Beat minny by 20 last home conference game. Maryland by 18 with a depleted roster. Iowa will be tough at home this season. Need a couple good wins on the road.

8 should almost for sure get them in.

A lot of things had to go just right in an 18 point victory

Ooohhh-kaaaay

Dude sit down, I can't see the game

I wish the refs would throw him out

As bad as the nebby loss was...was basically neutralized by this win.

Iowa has 4 straight winnable games coming up. I doubt they win all 4 but if they do they're in great shape. Losing to NW would be an epic disaster

 

[smitharooney]

Garza is lucky he didnt get an over the back foul

He is lucky there is no such thing in basketball

I am not going to argue about it. It was a poorly worded post.

It is really sleeting in Eastern IA right now. Couldn't imagine going out in this weather. The ground is becoming a sheet of ice. It's almost rush hour, there are going to be so many accidents. I-380 an I-80 will be littered with cars in the ditch

I just got back from a double overtime game in Fennimore, Wisconsin. It took about four more overtimes to get home.

45mph. Max. And I drive for a living.

 

[chucktownhawk]

We won, we won, we won, yay Iowa. F the Terps......k, better go to sleep now

 

[HuckFinn]

Funny, McCaffery the least talented starter we have. Does he sit next season?

You are clueless.

 

[hawkeyewx]

49 points is Maryland's lowest point total ever in a Big Ten game.

Great rebound win for the team. Wieskamp played with a newly found intensity, and Garza (as usual) was outstanding.

What impressed me the most was the improved defensive effort. Our inside players contested every shot, and the perimeter players were active with the feet and especially the hands. Maryland could never get into a rhythm.

Hopefully, we can learn from the last two games (good and bad) and keep the momentum going.

 

[PCHawk]

You are clueless.

I think you misunderstood his post. With Bohannon back next year, he will either have to sit or a starter from this year will have to sit. There's Garza, Wieskamp, CJ, Connor, and Joe T. Who will sit?

Full disclosure. When I was typing this, I had it in my head that we had 5 really good starters and Connor was easily the worst. But that was only the case if Bohannon was already playing. As it is right now, it would obviously be Joe T coming off the bench. I'm excited as hell at the idea of Nunge subbing for Garza and Joe T subbing in at PG. If Patrick can get healthy and play close to his recruiting ranking, he will be a great wing sub. If not, we have 4 options at freshmen who can hopefully be really good.
