Iowa is a horrible defensive team...Rutgers should be up over 20 but I will take 38-24. Iowa will get hot shooting the ball at some point so its important to play smart and keep working hard on defense and be aggressive on offense. This Iowa team rallied from 20 down at Illinois to force overtime where they won so this one aint over. Still RU probably played their best first half of basketball and 2nd best half behind SHU 2nd half

Great points. Iowa is streaky and will go on a run. Plus that was our best half of ball and still missed a few chippies (3 or 4) which should’ve made the lead 20.

Bac, you are so right. Remember the beginning of the year we had leads at the end of games and let very weak opponents back in the game. Hopefully we see a team that has matured and learned as this season went on. Iowa will make a run, we will need to handle it and respond.

First 5 minutes will tell if this will be a sit back and enjoy win or a rolaids type finish

This is good team offense. Guys are drawing the double team and passing for the assist. They're playing unselfish.

What a big difference it makes when they pass the ball to an open teammate after drawing a double team!!

The ball movement is excellent. I still think that is the key for this team. Need movement to get good shots. You can almost sense that Pikiell stressed that after the last game and the team responded.

47-28...great start to half...Geo is on fire. Looks like Iowa will try to go inside to get back in game and draw fouls. RU is in really good shape as long they keep focused
