Let's remember, the team lost Thelwell - one of our very best two-way players - during warm-ups. Coaches and teammates had to make that adjustment. Yeah, there was some head-scratching stuff going on, mostly defensively and on the boards. But they didn't quit when down 15 in the 2nd half. And, it was really deflating to have victory torn out of their hands in the last 3 seconds of regulation, up 3 and fouling to put Nebby on the line. But this reffing crew didn't call the foul that refs always call in that situation. Sure, the refs missed Pryce's double-dribble, but that happens. Having a win in hand with 3 seconds left, and then not... they could have folded in OT, but didn't. I'm celebrating their effort and the win.
Yeah, much to dislike, but I'm celebrating the effort and resilience

home wins are the only thing they will be celebrating this year. they won't break 500 overall.
look at the back half of the B1G schedule. it's brutal.You're positivity is truly inspiring.
Yep. I'm bummed as I thought there were some flashes of defense and an emphasis on rebounding in the early games this year. We can not depend on Dix in the first half and Sandfort in the second half to just be super human and carry us to victory. I was really thinking the team would be a little further along at this point of the year.
BUUUUUUT we got to see Nebraska blow a lead and lose to Iowa. So that is nice. I will say the football game felt like it was given to us... this one I feel like we went out and took.

glad the crowd didn’t give in either. The few there made plenty of noise as they went on runs.
Aggravated heel injury in pregame warmups.
Impressive they won without him. Been one of our better players IMO.
By your assertion, the Hawks go 3 -13 the rest of the way to not break 500 overall, the rest of the way. How much you got to take that bet????
You think their overall record will be below .500???
I’m not a betting man but I would be willing to wager some serious coin that Iowa will finish above .500 and earn another invite to the Not Invited Tournament.
I think Dix has shown that we can depend on him to be superhuman this year. He shot 70% in each of the last 5 games. Payton had his first good half in a long time. Hopefully he can put a few more together. He had a horrible start to last year before ending it on fire. Maybe this is the start of good things.
He had a horrible start to his soph year too.
He's streaky to say the least but it's pretty entertaining when he does catch fire and all the tough shots go in. It really turns a game around quickly.

Last night they could . . . and they did.
Just saw that Michigan beat #22UCLA on the road last night. We nearly beat Michigan on the road. You may be right...maybe Iowa doesn't win a conference road game this year, but then again they just might. I'm rooting for them and am optimistic.
