Classic Jordan this season. Make a basket when it doesn’t really matter
Iowa doesn’t match up well against Michigan. I might start a thread on this in a bit to break it down further, but most of our losses have come against teams with very skilled and very big bigs
We match up unbelievably well against any team that doesn’t have a Hunter Dickinson, Kofi Cockburn, Edey (Wisconsin has a pair of seven footers) type of player. One loss on the road against Rutgers and one loss on the road against PSU and that right there accounts for our 7 Big Ten losses
He's been decent if you go back to Penn State game.
His defense/rebounding--he's better than Rebracca if both Kris and Keegan are playing.
Huge win! Gotta think they get to at least 10 wins in the conference now. I like their chances against Spart too. Props to Fran for sticking with what was working in the first half playing Toussaint with Ulis and giving both Murray's heavy minutes in the 2nd.
But that’s “life on the road in the B1G”. You know where there are two different sets of rules that aren’t actually written down anywhere.
TRue...but Fran compounds it by going with Rebracca at center vs true bigs and not Kris Murray...Kris better defensively and can draw out opposing center to 3pt line.
Fran also needs to go bigger with Mulvey/Josh vs Cockburn, Eddy, Dickinson,.
freakiing huuge! I really never dreamed we'd win this one. Outstanding effort by everyone. Especially defense! Amazing.
As a Hawk fan, what's this "life on the road" crap?? Iowa usually gets the screwjob even in Carver during B1G season.
I’ve been calling for more Mulvey against these players since early Big Ten play. Now’s the time to let him contest some shots, pick up some fouls, and cut his teeth
Ogundele is still a liability due to 1) his conditioning and 2) the fact that he is a non-factor on offense. Even when he has position, nobody even looks his direction in the post
Especially less than 48 hours after the previous game. One time when playing 10 guys helps with fresh legs.
Michigan is just a weird team this year. Still upset that we lost that game, but they have more talent than their record would indicate. Just one of those years when the s is NOT greater than the total of its parts.
Yes....and we will see Kris on bench next game and not come in until the 2nd TV timeout.
Totally agree. Kris needs to start and I also agree josh needs to play a few more minutes against this bigger guys. He doesn’t need to do much more then what he did against Michigan while he is in the game. He served as a big body that could battle for a bit. He didn’t provide any stats but he also shut down the Michigan guys down low. If anything it should at least wear the big guys down a bit more. He should be getting 5-10 minutes each half against the teams with a true center
Quite honestly, I wish he’d redshirted this year, same for Ogundele last year to develop them more for as little as he’s played during conference play.
And you keep making stupid comments on this board when it doesn't really matter!!!
If someone had told me that Iowa would win today by double-digits after the loss on Thursday night, I never would have believed it. Not even a little bit.
Man, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it seems like the Hawks have performed VERY WELL @ OSU since Fran took over. Maybe its just my hyperactive imagination after a big win, but it seems like we've won quite a few there over the opportunities given in the last 12 years.

For some reason I seem to remember them saying a few years back that Iowa has the best record of any b10 team at Value City Arena.
As of right now, this stands as Iowa's "signature win" on the year. And finally an unquestioned Quad1 win (& on the road!) as well.
But I would die a happy man if Iowa could find a way to pick up another "signature win" - as well as as Quad1 road victory - @ Illinois to end the regular season. That's now the dream.

I’m okay keeping same starting lineup next game but Fran should have altered it for start of second half. Starters let Ohio State get up 10 by playing bad defense. What are we seeing to start second half. Same poor defense. My gosh play a unit that gets after it on defense. We’ll be down again by 10
Those three didn’t score a lot but kept offense moving and thier defense is why we won this game. Joe T brings energy that is infectious
IIRC (maybe wrong), wasn’t Iowa the first team to win there besides OSU?
I remember an Alford team beating Scoonie Penn’s 6th ranked Buckeyes there.
Sure but at that point the game was over. Connor sealed the game. Jordan was doing his best Kirk cousins impersonation. Putting up stats when it doesn’t matter
