*****OFFICIAL IOWA vs. psu Game Thread*****

Keep hammering it inside to Garza and Kriener they have major foul trouble on their BIGS and take care of the ****ing ball and Hawks win.
 
I really don't understand why Fran doesn't tell his players certain things during timeout. We knew we were going to get the ball with three seconds. Nobody called timeout after the ball went in. Every point matters.

Same with the runouts they are getting off turnovers. We had fouls to give. Even if we didn't, make them earn it at the free throw line. Letting them run into dunks and layups is just dumb. FOUL
 
Depth has shown better than I thought it would. CJF will let it come to him, but getting the bigs a blow with Pemsl and Evelyn giving decent minutes has helped.

Bench will be key in this sauna.
 
It wasn’t that long ago (or so it seems) that the clock ran under a minute at the end of both halves.

Not sure if I would like that but it would at least be consistent. They should stop the clock under a minute in both halves, not sure what the reasoning is not to (as long as they don't give teams more timeouts or increase TV timeouts).
 
Not sold on this PSU team being top 25. Stevens is really key player, rest of them seem kinda blah.
I think they are about the same as us. 10-10 in the league with a chance to do a bit better with some good luck and no injuries. I think they will make the NCAA tourney.

I agree Iowa had a foul to give. The offensive rebound would have been an ideal spot.

I’ll completely disagree about fouling on a run out. Don’t need a flagrant or at best an and one. I like Fran’s philosophy of, if you’re beat, you’re beat. Don’t compound it.
 
We need the Wieskamp from the last two minutes most of the second half.

1st 18 minutes: 5 points

Last two minutes: 5 points

Hopefully we can get that early 3rd foul on Watkins or Stevens.

You don't have to flagrant from behind. Bakari gave a half-hearted swipe at Stevens the ball handler at half court, who then proceeded to sprint to a layup. Bakari needs to go for a hard steal there. At best you get a steal, at worst you get a foul called on you and send them to an inbounds.
 
Luckily PSU can't hit 3s but really need to stop giving up so many offensive boards. Second chance points are killing us.
Agree. Can’t give up so many or it will be a long second half, especially with CJ out.
 
Christ! Reminds me of Nebraska late last season.

We might have Austin Ash playing minutes before long.
