***Official Iowa at Wisconsin Game Thread***

No one would have guessed early in the season our defense would be playing like this right now
 
Do we have butter on our hands? Can't hold on to the ball. Wisconsin looks terrible and we are not putting them down. Bet they start second half with 15-2 run. Jok is standing around too much.
Moss what the hell are you doing throwing the ball to first row
 
Moss has zero judgement with the ball.

Light just hasn't gone on for that kid yet.
 
Need a bucket here to close out the positive momentum..
 
ALL FRAN RIGHT THERE! Decoyed with Jok running around screens to give it to hot hand Baer.

I can't state enough how much I hate the way Wisconsin plays basketball. Make games ugly... but I like being up at Half! Keep it up hawks!
 
I don't think Iowa has even played well so far. Very sloppy.

Probably same for Wisconsin...
 
Don't worry, Fran will unleash Bohannon and tell him to go kick everyone's ass now in the 2nd half, propelling us to victory. I predict at least 4 2nd half 3's from him.
 
Baer inspired by watching himself on the Journey!

I have to believe WI is feeling some pressure right now. On a skid of 4 out of 5 losses. They look like they're pressing...
 
Bear had a really meh first 8-10 minutes and I almost commented about how he was kinda hurting us out there. But I kept the Baer faith, and was handsomely rewarded with a crowless plate.
 
Stop missing bunnies in the 2nd half and we can put this in the bag. Like the defensive intensity so far. A win makes us and NIT lock and opens up the bubble.
 
Baer bails out the offense on a low %'ER THAT FALLS!
He didn't bail out the offense. That was the designed play (get it to the hot hand) and it was executed flawlessly. Great job by Fran.

The most impressive aspects of the first half were 1. The defense, which was the best it's been all year and 2. Our shooting despite playing Wisconsin, who is great at taking teams out of rhythm.

Cut the TO's and we'll be set.

Baer for Iowa!

Bayer for Wisky:

I can't remember Iowa looking as crappy on offense yet leading a supposedly good team by this much in a long time. Moss has been an utter disaster with the ball tonight.

The defense has been outstanding though (Hayes practically invisible), Baer finally figured out maybe he should not drive into a bad situation and just spot up for 3's..so yeah, happy but...confused. It's like I see the scoreboard, but I have no clue how it happened.
 
Love frans and Iowa approach double happ and Hayes don't let them bang into lane for anything easy. Plus our guys have rotated and recovered well when they pass it out of the post.
