[Rose bowl or bust]

What a great second half against a good South Dakota team

Probably the best team out of the Horizon that we’ll play all year. Our boys, behind the spark from Riley Mulvey, just came out and took it in the second half.

Wtf is Brock doing?

Shooting a 3 when running out the clock & up by over 20.... not a good look... kinda bush league IMO

B1G Dix Network tonight.

I can dig it

I'll give it to Mulvey.

That dude is excitable.

He got it from his old man...

Might not be good to let him watch film. May go into shock.

What, you don't want an annual home and home with Kansas in November? Lol. Yeah, they are great fillers, early season confidence builders and opportunities to test out different stuff. It's all good so long as it goes as expected.

I was at the Iowa game at KU Allen Fieldhouse when Iowa came back from down 15 in 2nd half to win & halt a 60 some game (if I remember correctly) home winning streak for KU. Awesome game. Iowa should play KU, Mizzou more often.

They may be 'crackers' - and I know we all like to joke about it - but when they're playing well, Freeman+Dix+the Sandy bros are good B1G talent.

Traore will make this team more competitive / athletic.

Thelwell, too.

 

[IowaMuse]

Thelwell needs to be the starting PG. he got more minutes tonight which was good. But Iowa will lower its ceiling the more they rely on Harding as the primary lead guard.

Good game without Freeman. Dix is underrated. Decent game by Dembele, but still looking tentative on defensive. Nice stroke on jumpers. Pryce back to reality, but will be a big contributor in a lot of games. Thelwell and Traore were really good portal pick ups, even without much NIL. Team has really good depth.

Really happy for Mulvey, who must have almost doubled his career stats in one game. Seems very aware on the court, but vertically challenged. Showed he can provide a few minutes against larger less athletic centers, if needed.

Wrhelwl and traore just tell me you can make a hell of a team with overcooked guys from midmajoris. Nil be damned.

?????

 

[kceasthawk]

You forgot Mulvey

He said top 9 and he's not playing in tougher games when Big O is back.....

Yes to both. Get my tickets....

Three takeaways from the victory:

1. The Return of Seydou Traore
2. No Owen Freeman, No Huge Problem
3. Dix Leads the Way

Watched the game on delay. This team is going to get manhandled by any team with athletic talent. Hope I'm wrong
