*****Official Iowa @ Little Red game thread*****

Toussant is at the three point line and his defender is at the free throw line. It's killing our offense.
 
The good is Nebraska played about as well as they can and Iowa had played below average. Still only down 7. Play even average and Iowa wins going away.
 
Obviously hawks shooting very badly but how does Nebraska not take control of this one by half?
 
If there was a night we need all BIG Joe W to show up, it is tonight. Not happening so far.
 
Down 7, could have been worse. Couple big buckets before half to shrink that lead down.

Nebraska shoots their avg in the 2nd and we'll be fine
 
Wezzie needs someone else on the perimeter to be a threat to score, for him to be a threat to score. Otherwise, teams can just shut him down.
 
you have to try to shoot that poorly as Iowa did from 3 point land in the 1st half. Against a better team Iowa is down 20 points at least.
 
Shooting 10 percent from three is awful, but many were wide open. WIDE open. I still like the Hawks in this one, but we’re are terrible tonight.
 
If both teams shoot at their normal percentages, we’re in the lead. 33% team hitting at 45 for the game. 36% team hitting 10. That’s a 21 point swing in one half. We’re settling for shots instead of working better ones. Missing two good 3pt shooters is hurting us and we have bad shooters taking too many outside shots.

Also, they had 6 fouls about 10 minutes into the game. Finished the half with 7 and the first 6 fouls was before we started working it inside. What happened to the whistles?
 
We were down by as many as 8 to a good PSU team and still hung with them to the end. We can do this. Take good shots, defend the perimeter for Pete's sake, and not turn it over.
