Of course we did! Team didn't just stand around on that last play and let them drive uncontested to the basket like they would have last year.
Gonzaga got taken to the wire by Illinois then beat Duke. Good teams have bad games. Iowa won despite shooting 10% less from the field and having arguably their two best players (Cook and Garza) make a combined 3 field goals.
Just like the games in NY weren’t cause to overreact positively, games like this aren’t reason to panic. A bad game and still got the win.
Iowa after giving up 46 in the 1st half they came into the 2nd half and held them to 22 points.
Jordan ended the night with 6 steals not bad for a slow white kid from Iowa.
Iowa had their worst FT shooting night of the season as they shot 67.9%. shooting 36.5% from the field after coming into the game shooting 48% from the field.
maybe its just me but this was the type of game that Iowa have every time last season. sometime a ugly win can make a team better.
6-0 baby. next up is Wisconsin. 3-3 in the ACC/BT challenge.

I think Cook will be able to take most bigs off the dribble but I would really like too see him post up and get the ball 10 from the basket and face up or back his man down, I don't think he will ever be anything more than a below average shooter so he needs to develop some post moves.
Iowa wins having they’re worse performance of the year... good teams find a way to get it done.. even when they’re having a bad night..

Kudos to team for digging in for the second half. Ugly, but a win. Baer and Wieskamp made enough shots to get over the hump. Move on to Wisconsin.
That is a possibility. Right now I would disagree with you, but, it's not February yet so I won't say you are wrong either.
He's been good up until tonight. Probably should give it a few games of below par play before we declare that he sucks.
I like Cook's physical presence, rebounding, and dunking. But he's 3 years AND a few games in. Glad he's with us tho.
.986 points/possession defense gets it done (.63 ppp in 2nd half)- unbelievable after last year.

have to agree at this point. He does not look like an NBA player right now. Alot to work on for TC. Ball handling and that mid range jumper better show up or he doesn't have a prayer in the association

I heard he plays a mean bass and sings a nearly flawless baritone....so there's a chance.
