Really happy with what we have for a BIG man next season in Nunge, another offseason of work too, wow. Fantastic.
Stats nearly identical at half
both teams shooting well and giving up tons of open looks

The top of the zone defense is so poor. They are switching in spots where there is no need. We are constantly guarding air at the top of the 3 leaving the lane vulnerable. It just looks so lazy.
Kudos to Nunge! Great game so far.
I would love to see Nunge start over Connor.

I would love to see Nunge start over Connor.
If he was in the building, not 500 miles away in his basement, he would have seen that.
If he adds some more strength, he’ll be a guy to really watch.
I guess if they’re not calling it, might as well take advantage. Credit to OSU there.
And let’s be honest, you don’t exactly hand out a lot of compliments now do ya, guy?
All the talk about Liddell and Weezy has a better stat line at the half.
2 major injuries he's coming off of too. Fran is a great talent evaluator.
He went on JBo’s podcast, really interesting comments. He loves college bball.
I hate to use this word but I wonder if CMac gets some of that swag back as a 6th man.
Exactly. I think he’s gonna be a great starter for us next year.
Connor just needs limited minutes right now. Bad on D, can’t shoot, and just isn’t bringing much that some of the other guys can bring. Would love to see Perkins or Ulis again.
Only 3 team fouls called on the Hawks in that half. Incredible considering how physical it has been.
Should be a fun ride here, the roster is loaded for a nice reload and seem to be doing well on the recruiting front too.
Nunge was due to make some threes...but OSU has to be shooting the 3's pretty well. The 17 year high school kid has drained 2. Ahrens was supposed to be their best 3pt shooter and it isn't him making the shots. Feels like Iowa defense is the shooting doctor for everybody in a slump.
My self awareness might be a bit low on this subject. Do I hand out a lot of compliments? I mean it probably depends on the subject.
Really great comment by you though. Really got me thinking.
That was far more of a travel than Toussant's
Iowa needs the same 2nd half offensive production
Iowa
9-20 (45%) on two pt shots
7-14 (50%) on three pt shots
16-34 (47%) overall
Ohio State
11-20 (55%) on two pt shots
6-15 (40%) on three pt shots
17-35 (49%) overall

Exactly. Joe T literally got shoved. This dude thought about driving Luka and pissed his pants.
I don’t see Iowa being all that physical, especially on defense. Iowa has been a lot more physical on ORebs and setting screens.
Like where Iowa’s at. Keep Garza outta foul trouble, hawks win
Nunge at the wing and Garza at center and either Keegan or PMac at other wing and the zone suddenly becomes pretty good. We can hide JBO at top with JoeT covering extra ground
I had some hopes that Nunge would catch fire at some point and be an xfactor. He's playing really well recently after I gave up on him.
Fran is probably lighting the team up. You want to see that 2pt% 55% higher and 50% higher from 3.
3 teams fouls though. When was the last time Iowa had that few fouls in a half?
I can't tell you because I am too lazy to research. Been a while though.
Coach K looks like he’s turning into a bobble head caricature of himself.
That is much too hard of a research assignment by half. If they finish with 6 I might have to dig.
Hilarious that ESPN is promoting the shit show of Duke vs North Carolina.
