Missing a bunch of 3s now. Loyers last 2 missed the rim. I think we are like 1 of 8? from 3 after hot start.
Work it up inside!!!

 

[DrEss]

Very nice last 4 minutes.

Very nice last 4 minutes.

Good first 9 minutes, woeful next 7 and like you say last 4 was very good.

And rolling here in H2

Absolutely terrible against the press. Nobody every comes to the ball and help Smith.

 

[KenTre1983]

A win, but it's concerning that for two straight games the team has given up 50 or more points in a half and had 16 or more TOs. Not the way to play going into March.

A team will ALWAYS look terrible against the press when fouling is allowed like tonight

I wish Morton and Loyer could handle the ball a little better to help out with this.

Matt better have the boys working agaInst the press...must have had seven or eight turnovers when Iowa turned up the heat.

We have won 23 out of 25!

When teams are allowed to hack , hold and push like indinia and Iowa did, it’s hard to play against. We outscored indinia by 12 in the second half and beat Iowa by 14. I think we’re ok, but can get better. Gives painter something to yell at them about

 

[DrEss]

We have won 23 out of 25!

Yes we have. That’s good.

 

[LousiBFree]

We did nothing on defense to take them out of rhythm in the second half. Also, I am afraid that turnovers with be our undoing the NCAA.

Iowa has a hell of a press. They gave a great effort. They hit shots out their hind end. but we withstood and pulled away. As Fran said in his press conf after the game when asked about Braden Smith. They are all good even the guys who come in off the bench. That is why they are the best team in the nation. Get ready cause Northwestern will be ready to give it their best shot on sunday. Everybody wants to beat us.
