Minny giving us a blueprint to play Iowa. Seems simplistic. Double the post and guard the perimeter. Working thus far.

Iowa just refuses to play defense.
That’s because they don’t teach d. They play the stupid 1-2-2 d and hope you turn it over in the backcourt . After that you can get whatever you want on them . They are slow and Garza is horrible on d except he never gets called for fouls

Jacob and Montez will literally shred their d and get into the paint as will. The question will be if we can get enough stops against them

Garza having his worst game of the season. Missing everything around the rim and he's not getting calls

Garza is 2 for 11. Doubling down yes but Minnesota rotation to quickly get back out on the shooters has been impressive so far.

I think the bigger question is will we finish when we get near the rim and will we draw fouls. Too often we shy away from contact inside the paint, especially Myles, who does a fade-jump-hook rather than going straight up and occasionally drawing contact.

How isn’t that a walk on Carr? Geo does a rhythm step back. Carr planted 2 feet. Then jumped back on both feet then shot it. And he made it, but that was a blatant walk.

Overtime. Carr makes a big three. Bohannon misses at the buzzer

Down goes Iowa. Don't sleep on Little Ricky's team. I like them better than Northwestern as the surprise team in the league

Johnson came in two for ten for threes. Unconscious today. 8 of 9

Minnesota looks good. Much better than I expected.

No easy games in the B1G. None.

Fun endgame. Iowa (Toussaint) missing 2 FTs up 3 with 10 sec left in regulation, random Minnesota fwd raining 3s in OT.

To be honest, game shouldn’t have gone to OT. Blantant walk on Carr not called on a three. Then Iowa misses two foul shots to ice it. In OT it was Minnesota clearly.

That's funny. I just turned this game off (watching dvr) when Minn. missed with 25 seconds to go trailing by 3. Figured it was over.

Guess I shoulda stuck with it.

I wonder if Bohannon return is messing up their Chemistry some . His numbers are way down and his body language doesn’t excude happiness and their half court game doesn’t look so good when he is out there ...

Good for us in the standings to give another top team a loss since we got one (yes I’m planning for regular season B1G championship)

I also thought Carr walked throwing both feet behind the arc on that three. Iowa let it slip away. They had gone up by 8 in regulation near the end and still led I believe by 7 with 45 seconds left. Thompson the grad transfer was in the zone with 4 threes in the OT. The Iowa PG had 2 points and made 4 straight free throws for 6 points total but than made only 1 of 4 free throws all in the very end of regulation.
