*****Iowa vs NW Game Thread*****

Actually feel better about this game than the last 2. Absolutely the kiss of death. Limit turnovers, drive into the lane and rebound like the devil, success.

Hey Iowa, not asking for much, but would love to see some crowd shots that look a little like this while you are in the process of building a big lead in the 2nd half this evening;

Pretty please and many thanks.
 
I thought the same thing. Their ahead of us in the standing , AND at home, and we're favored? Hmmm...
They're also playing great and maybe have a little revenge on their mind after losing the first game. Iowa was up to -2 briefly 🤷‍

Maybe NW due to lose or the matchup favors Iowa so much ??

If I was a better I'd be looking at this one for sure

I don't know if its a mindset the Hawks have, or what, but it seems like when playing the teams that are most known for being defensive-minded, the Iowa offense either goes off or does enough to win.

Iowa State? Blitzed 'em.
Rutgers? Season sweep.
Illinois? Won.
@MSU? Was a win, if had just shot season average at FT line.
NW? Won the home game, and get another shot at them in their gym.

Lost the Wisconsin game back in early December, but that was either without or a just-gotten-back Kris Murray and was missing another guy or two as well.

No Murray or Ulis that game. Sandfort was in his deep shooting funk. We really hadn't understood what Dix could bring us. Heck, we had Bowen starting and Kingsbury play 10+ minutes that game. This will be a very different Hawkeye team looking for revenge in Madison. I think we win somewhat comfortably.
 
The next game is Wed Feb 22, 8 pm, at Wisconsin

Upcoming weather looks like crap in the Midwest. In Iowa City its going to be raining all day Wed but in Madison there's a chance for a winter storm (1-3 inches of snow and ice, and 32 degrees).
Is that game being played outside?

Seems that Iowa has struggled at NW. Think Iowa will win this one.

Tip off coming. Spencer Lee is must see tv on the wrestling scene. Guys are leaving that weight class in droves because they can't touch him.
