Hawkeye Buzz Saw!

[RutgersDom]

I’m sitting here listening to the B1G network.
They are discussing how no one can match up with Kegan Murray and how he eats guards alive.
Knowing full well they are playing us tomorrow with DPOY going against him and say nothing about it?

Bad coverage! Has to be talked about as something to watch

On the Big show it was talked about as a potential highlight of the day

I don't see us as a very physical team. Neither is Iowa. We can play good defense without trying to be physical. Just play Pike's system and be fundamentally sound. If we try too hard to set a physical tone I can see foul trouble and Iowa being in the bonus around the 10 minute mark. Let's face it if they have a good shooting day they will be tough to beat since I don't think we can match shots with them. We need to contest.

Cliff vs Rebraca needs to be the focus of the early offense today. No way Rebraca can stop Cliff alone. If we can get some early buckets down low and force them to double team, it will be all about RHJ and Geo's 3 point shooting.

It sure didn’t play out as you would like it to for a double-bye team: Ideally you’re getting to play a team on their third game in three days. If not, you want a one-bye team that was in a war the day before. Instead we get a team that had a scrimmage yesterday, had 40-minutes of looks at a basket in neutral gym, has vengeance and confidence mojo.

Keep it close then finish it,

Northwestern is a finesse team. We’re going to punch them in their cornfed mouths.

How many times in the NBA playoffs have you seen a team click on all cylinders and win by a blowout only to come back to earth an lose the next two. Let BTN flower them with love and accolades, they‘ll be ripe for a dose of reality.

Yup

 

[BrewHawk_rivals53736]

Yup

Difference now is our effort on defense and the boards. Iowa is damn tough when they decide to do those two things well.

Just think we need that extra game to get things flowing. 5 day layoff I can see us coming out flat. Iowa has a game under th air belt they are in the flow. They will not be tired. We"ll see hope I'm wrong.

Exactly why I dont like double Bye's down goes Illinois. The team that played the day before has tourney FLOW. If you guys cannot see that or understand that is a very real thing then you just dont get basketball at all.
The same way RU made a great run a few yrs back a few yrs ago as like the 13 or 14 seed

It's the third game that gets you. If we beat Iowa love our chances against Indiana

It doesn't matter what game that gets you if you do not have game flow with double bye....you just go home. Iowa has advantage playing yesterday. Hope the boys come out firing on all cylinders. Going to have to play great perimeter Defense. If we start chasing the play it will be a long 40 minutes.

Are you cowering in the basement with no lights on and a blanket pulled over your head?

 

[RUBlackout]

All about rebounding…no second chances

LFG

 

[leftoright]

I assume they practiced the out of bounds play.

Nope ready for them to get after it

 

[Cidsports]

Do your homework, I sat 3 feet from the court and watched Patrick play 30
Minutes in the loss

You are rights. Shot 1-5 from 3 and 4 for 12 overall. Not very efficient at Rutgers. Cleared it up today.

 

[Mitch122]

Props to Iowa, but they're trending towards giving up over 80 points as well, garbage time or not.

LOL. Props to Rutgers, but just gave up over 80 points.

 

[Torbee]

So.
Many.
Awful takes!

Fun game. Good luck in the NCAA tournament fellas!

How did all this go for you all? Good luck the rest of the season.
