Solid 1st half. Let’s keep the foot n the gas here in the second. Keep my blood pressure low.

Last 2? He's averaged about 18 a game over the last 10...8 boards as well...
I know JBo's whole thing is 3ptrs, but why are end of half and end of game always drawn up for him or he always keeps it for the last shot? Let JoeW try it once in a while.
I remember @RU a couple years ago... do the coaches??

Good half. Just hope Fran doesn’t get dumb with his rotations in the second half. Joe t did good while he was in. If he doesn’t play in the second half and jbo plays the entire second half, I might have to stop watching the rest of the season.
I love how we are up 20 but when we go to commercial break we only see Michigan State highlights. Pathetic network coverage and can these announcers announce the game? And quit yakking.
yeah we have very little to complain about. The Garza blocking foul was ridiculous but otherwise pretty fair. I mean, we are on the road so it’s always going to feel worse.
Garza letting Weiskamp know that he had the smallest guy on the court posted up in transition, and that if he would've got it in to him instead of rushing that 3, then Garza would've dunked that guy back into his mother's womb...........
How they missed that, I have no idea, but it seems very BAU.

If we would have play the D we did at Bloomington in IC we would have at least split. Our O and rebounding sucked at Bloomington...
Yep. Iowa likes to play fast but lately they’ve been playing better slowing it down and waiting for a shot with far less turnovers.
Ahron was a problem. Not ready for this environment. Didn't hurt too badly.
Team playing well.
Team playing well.
I demand that Iowa win this game.
Thank you.
Thank you.
we got swept by INdy
OSU and Illinois win the close ones, Iowa has folded the close ones. Indiana is Fran's kryptonite this year.
Like Purdue got us twice last year.
My Fox feed went out....what happened with JoeT....he was playing and by time I got feed back, he Gone.
I thought Fran managed rotations really well in the first half. Gave all the usual bench guys a chance to make an impact. Hopefully we open it up more in 2H and give the freshmen a chance for extended minutes
guys we can’t have a two week period without uno. I don’t care how many CMac scores. I need these opinions!
Big Ten seeds in NCAA: as shown earlier...
1. OSU and Michigan
2. Illinois
4. Iowa

Pretty darn good 1st half. Keep foot on the gas and win by at least 20.
Happy with Nunge' play so far. Would like to see Uhlis take advantage of this PT and attempt to drive to the hoop or something.

You don't have many offensive rebounds when you aren't missing many shots. 🙂
Thought the same. Weezy’s been the hottest shooter besides Garza all year. Get him the ball. Did Iowa have a TO to draw something up?
I'm okay with CMAC getting big playing time if he makes his shots. Go CMAC.
Just spend a pathetic amount of time looking at stats and you can carry the torch Pepperman!
You know MSU will come out like gangbusters...the second half willshow how tough the Hawks are. I hope
they are mentally ready!
I saw those seeds. Why would they make a number 1 seed play a rematch? That seems unfair to the Bulldogs. While not eager to see the Bulldogs again a tourney rematch in the Sweet 16 seems unfair.
Damn, that reminds me I was supposed to dig up the last time Iowa only shot 6 or less FTs in a game.
Here’s my halftime speech:
Great half but we’re not done. We’re not even close to being done. We’ve been coming to this arena for years and sometimes we’ve been screwed and other times we’ve been embarrassed. Today we have a chance to embarrass Sparty at home. I’m not talking about a 3 point win. I’m not talking about a 10 point win. I’m talking about the chance to win by 25+ on their court. We can do it. Let’s hang 100 on them and celebrate tonight!

To my knowledge, this is the 1st game all year that IOWA has okayed M2M the entire game, is that correct?
and the defensive rebounding had eliminated the 2nd chance offensive rebounds and open 3 point shooting.
(at least of tMSU’s 3’s were off an inbound zone defense)
is there legs to this?
I also noticed the halftime talking heads completed missed this observation

Garza was set for 5 minute on that blocking call. I understand wanting to please Izzo...but if you call that
a block then everything is a block.
Start with a “Bo Borowski Iowa” or “Ted Valentine Iowa” google search
Iowa blew out MSU in Breslin when Clemmons/Gessell went off...that's been a few years. That team unfortunately'folded later in the season.
And quite possibly could the second half. B1G refs aren’t consistent so this second half should be opportunistic for Izzy.
How did they miss this? Honestly? Worst call of the half and a close second was Garza’s blocking foul.
he practically had roots growing into the court, that’s how long he was set.
Listening to the dumb nonsense that comes out of Bill Walton's brain will never get old.....
