Glad This One Is Over...

-Ugly win, but I'll take it
-Officials sucked
-Glad Iowa's young team experienced a team like this. When they get to the NCAA it's what they'll see in a mid major team.
-TCU is next on Sunday. I think Iowa can win, but it will definitely be tough.
I thought it was gonna be Fresno State..................................................
 
At least we now know they wanted to play.

Otherwise, workmanlike win. Defense has regressed, but that's always been this team's biggest issue.
 
Glad to get the W. Too many loose, dumb passes. SD had very quick hands and those teams always give us fits. On to TCU. I am not ready for this season to end.

Mooney looks like a really good guard. Flack had some ups and also was pretty good. They are a solid team, but Iowa shouldn't lose at home to them and we didn't. I thought CW looked pretty over matched at Point guard--loose handles and dribbles too much and not a threat to shoot.

Uhl and Wagner played pretty well defensively.

Ft shooting was horrific tonite too. I sure hope they start playing better again. Ellingson has returned as a big zero again. SD played really well. Mooney is a handful, very impressive. And Dickerson looked good. To bad he left, imo, and I can't believe he has another year to play. Go Hawks.
 
We won by double digits to a team that was their conference champion. There is plenty to celebrate. I prefer 1/2 glass full

Moss, Jbo, Cook all with GREAT games.

Jok found his shooting stroke.

Pemsl with his normal workmanlike performance.

Kriener hit a nice jump shot.

Uhl did stroke a 3 although he missed it I thought it was in off his hand!

Wagner ran the floor and finished.

Mooney schooled Ellingson with 3 3 pointers in his face. Ellingson is not getting better. CMac better play before Ellingson. Williams and Ellingson leave a lot to be desired. Backup guards offer no offense and poor defense. Not a good recipe for success. Williams back problems may still be affecting him but his dribbling handles are weak. Brady is worse.

We survived the mugging, and I hope never to see that team again. TCU was beaten by the Clowns twice this year, but they'll be tough anyway.
 
Jok better bring better energy. Less Williams, Uhl and Ellingson. Maybe try Dailey, certainly couldn't hurt any more.
I've been as big a supporter of Ellingson as anyone, but that was his worst game of the season. Really bad.

Any word yet what time and on what network the game will be on? Even today's game was a moving target with apparently both Dish Network and DirectTV not updating their programming listings last night to reflect the time change for the game. Hope not too many people got bit into recording the Syracuse game instead.

I think Brady will bounce back.
 
Speaking of Dailey, anyone else see where he wasn't hardly pleased to be on the bench last night? Guys jumping up and down around him and he just sits there with no smiley clapping.
 
We're set for 6:30 Sunday night unless Jim Boeheim wants that time and channel.

Don't worry; looks like he's been given exclusive time early Sat before any of those annoying NCAA tournament games can interfere with his air time.

The Cyclones did beat them twice, but TCU beat the Cyclones the first game in Texas. We should not take them lightly.

I am less concerned about the defense, ball valuation is what concerns me against TCU. We threw some zero per cent passes tonight.
Agree, we kept SD in the game the first half with too many boneheaded low percentage passes. Also not tough enough in securing the 50-50 balls and rebounds. Best case scenario though, SD puts up good fight, Iowa makes enough mistakes to avoid complacency, yet gets a solid win. :)
