.........Iowa vs William Jewel College Game Thread.........
- Thread starter Grizzly Adam

Can't Iowa just have 1 game (football or basketball) where the game is an easy win and not close? 
A nicely designed play at the end of the half that didn't involve Player A dribbling it down and driving baseline to no avail, nice to see!
Division II William Jewell up by 1 at the half, 46- 45. Everybody has played. Cook leads scoring with 15, but he started really slow. Bohannon 2nd in scoring with 9. WJ is 7-10 from 3 and has out-rebounded the much taller Hawkeyes. Dailey looks a bit tentative, passing up several open shots. Iowa trying to get the ball into Cook, who has taken by far the most Iowa shots. Nunge and Garza look good- aggressive on the boards. Pemsl and Kriener haven't had many touches, but they've scored. Uhl played very little. Wagner has a couple strong boards. Ellingson payed quite a bit. Moss a little erratic with his shots. Did hit one long three. Baer has been pretty quiet on offense; hustled on defense. McCaffery has played well in backup role. Points in the paint even, although WJ has only one big man. To their credit, William Jewel is an experienced team, and is quicker than Iowa I'm sure that Fran is ripping a few at the half. Dolph and Bobby doing a good job. WJ up by 4 in 2nd. Moss will not play and Ellingson will get big minutes.

I bet red faced fran came out at half, even though it's only an exhibition.
Red Faced Fran came out with :31 seconds left complaining about a foul on his true son, Brady Ellingson.
Coaches can't get the players to execute better? Guess that means they aren't recruiting the right players.
Fire the coaching staff.
Only watched the last 8 minutes or so: woof. The last opponent William Jewell played in D-1 was a terrible Missouri team that let WJ score only 31 points... the entire game. WJ up 46-45 at the half. Huge defensive letdown on the final play. WJ shooting lights out, but we are struggling vs a 5 guard lineup.
For the third year in a row, BTN streams look great on Roku. HOWEVER-- for the first time ever, BTN Plus stream is actually watchable.
So far, I'm impressed with Kriener, Nunge, and Wagner's defensive effort. Jewell putting up a fight. Lots of reaching in under the basket though. Let's see the adjustments Fran makes in half 2!
Augustana was defending National Champs when we played them, William Jewell went 9-17 last year.
I'm pretty sure if this game meant something, we wouldn't have lineups out there that include Nunge, Cook and Pemsl against their 5 guards.
Whelan from WJ comes out firing with a 3. Iowa responds with a turnover. WJ gets an offensive rebound. Official timeout to reset the shot clock. WJ out rebounding Iowa 24-20 despite playing 5 guards for a good portion of the 1st half
That’s what Brady needs to do. When he gets loaded up he needs to pull the trigger with no hesitation
I always feel like we’re a better team with Wagner on the court. He’s everywhere.
I'm going to say William Penn at least once says Dolph about 2 minutes left first half. 2nd half Iowa IS playing William Penn lol
Dude Nunge needs to see significant time this year. I like him at the 3 4 or 5.
JBo's stroke is so sweet, so nice to see in a Hawkeye uni
It’s like Fran built him in a laboratory. He’s perfect for Fran’s style.
