Agreed 100% I would have thought that would mean give them a little space and collapse not screw the close out give them 8 feet and the o board haha

Man those Iowa bench guys sure are scrappy! Jack, Tony P, Joe T, Ulis all with awesome an 1st half & very necessary too.. wouldn’t be in the lead without them.
Kinda, but there's also been a lot of long rebounds. Iowa is long but not very quick.
2 Black Velvets and pop, one shot of fireball.
So true, especially after NSU started 6-6 on 3s.
If MSU shoots their normal percentage from 3, they are getting their *ss kicked at this point. No way will they be at 60 percent by the end of the game.
Yeah the defensive rebounding was sorry for sure. Nunge has made a big difference in that regard, and Ulis/Perkins’ perimeter defense have limited the amount of threes and subsequent long rebounds available which has helped too
Yeah, regardless of how this year shakes out (fingers crossed) next year is going to be fun.
and you know he could tell that was the case so the question begs to be asked, why Fran ????!
I'm thinking Joe T, Ulis, and Perkins deserve a more of Connor's and JBo's minutes the rest of the year. I like Bohannon in at end of half and game for his historical big shots, but otherwise Ulis and Joe T much, much more from now on.
Keep the young pit bulls out on the perimeter and keep feeding the big boys down low.
This is a balanced attack by the Hawkeyes.......
The starters have scored 24 points
The bench has scored 24 points
Garza has 15 points and Nunge 11

I would love to see some combo of Joe T, Ulis, or Perkins, when playing an athletic team, start and set the tone on defense early. Then bring JBo off the bench in a Brody Boyd role to provide a shooting spark off the bench. CMac needs Ulis minutes.
That's the problem, and why it will take 'luck of the draw' for Iowa to reach the F4. The offense is as Elite as you'll find in CBB, but the defense is (usually) worse than average.
Unfortunately, that equals offensively struggling teams looking like they aren't anymore (or at least for that game vs the Hawks).
I’m guessing MSU won’t be called for 15 fouls in the second half.
Izzo being izzo. Would suck to be that whiny of a biatch all the time
Nice strong half. Normally the officials would have buried Iowa by now. Sparty got by with quite a bit but nothing like the usual foul free halves.
But there is an entire half of officiating to keep Sparty in it.

Feeling a little wobbly after actually buttchugging for Nunge 3s.

I do wish his dad would STFU! I’ve got a headache from listening to his complaining about the officiating.
Probably zero fouls in the last 10 minutes..............
I still call bs on this. Teams are completely sagging, he’s been turning it over more lately, and his 3 pt shots are a turnover 80 percent of the time.
He has a role but Fran asks to much/ too many minutes of him.
We'll reach the bonus with about 7:20 to play, and never reach the double bonus. MSU will somehow go the final 5 1/2 minutes committing only a single foul.
No Spartans will foul out.
When teams sag off he needs to drive instead of settling for a three if they aren’t falling. I also don’t like that when he gets them wide open, he’ll take a dribble or hesitate for a second before shooting. If you’re gonna shoot, catch and shoot!
