Big Time Onions!! What a WIN!!!!

We were down early by 10 to Rutgers. No problem. We came back and won.

We were down early by 12 to Indiana. No problem. We came back and won.
And Iowa was down by NINE with about 4 minutes to go today, and a win looked highly improbable. But thanks to gutty defense by everybody and amazing shooting from Keegan and the much-maligned JBo, the Hawkeyes are moving on to the title game tomorrow. This team never quits. This team is talented. This team still doesn't get the recognition it deserves. But not even CBS can change the final score, as much as they'd love to. LOL

BTW: Screw Jim Nance and Grant Hill.
 
Struggled so much to get stops in second half, was surprised to see so little zone. But got the few stops we needed (they missed some possibly clinching shots there) and elite offense to finish. Huge for the real Tournament on so many levels.

The final stats.

Iowa had 9 more made 3's. This helped offset the 18-9 second chance points advantage for IU.

IU had a 50-24 points in the paint advantage as well.

This team, man.

Iowa makes a lot of threes.

BTW: Screw Jim Nance and Grant Hill.

This deserved its own mention. Was Iowa actually playing in that game?
 
For as much crap as he was taking in the game thread (none from me by the way) PMac had a pretty nice game when it was all said and done…
He needs to get stronger with the dribble. He was killing me early with the loose handle, but there’s no doubt his drive game in the paint is strong.

Did it even seem like PMac scored 16? That was the quietest 16 pt game I think I've seen. Kid made some tough shots.


A very quiet 16 indeed.

I thought INdiana must have gotten tired at the end. After all, we outscored them by 12 in the last 3 minutes. Also seemed like Keegan wasn't aggressive at times. Has the ball out high with one defender and the lane pretty open - and he passes the ball. Did this several times. I think he can take anyone one on one to the hoop, so why didn't he? Can't rag too much, tho. He only scored 32 I think.
 
Heck yeah!!! We are in a golden era of Iowa athletics right now. The C$%%^ garbage tried to slow us down as we were entering this golden era. We have persevered and now this might be the best season in the Iowa athletics history. WOW!!! What a stat. These two teams could go deep into March yet too!!!
