This win was needed, not only to stop the skid and needing a "signature win" on the resume, but now its @ F* WISCONSIN!!!!!!!! on Sunday.

(and Wisky's coming off a butt-kicked loss @ OSU, where OSU led all night)

Nebby has every right to feel “Izzoed” tonight. It was a rough and tumble game, all nIght. Iowa rebounded the best they have in years tonight. Not real p[retty by either team but plenty physical.

Can’t believe people don’t like storming the court when we have a student section and attendance problem. We need all the excitement we can get, let them enjoy it!
Especially when you consider we haven't beaten a ranked team in a couple of years. Yes, we've been competitive at times (and sometimes not) against top 20 teams but getting this W is huge.

I'm not always a fan of the court storms but I'll allow this one ;)

As everyone and their dead grandmother already knew, if NEB isn't hitting 3s with regularity, they are extremely beatable.

Defense and rebounding won the night for Iowa.

Really not a fan of the court storm. It's Nebraska. The win should always be assumed. Anything less (in any sport really) is just failure. If Iowa gets a bowling team then maybe I'll accept storming the alley....
No offense, but that’s a ghey take.

It’s a Top 10 team. The fans deserve something to celebrate. Ben and the team deserve to celebrate with the fans.

In this day and age of “professional” college sports, it’s refreshing to see the college exuberance after a big win.

Guys... that was fun. Glad I went.

There were mostly okay Nebraska fans but there were some real douches. I couldn't tell if it was Sandfort's dad or what but he started jawing with the student section and egging them on. They were relentless.

Overall, Carver had a few loud moments but wasn't as loud as it could be. Either way, a great win.

Best quote by McCollum on the post game "we set offensive basketball back 30 years"

Coach said to Dolph post game...

"Sorry we set offensive basketball back 30 years"

😆 🤣 😂 😹
They most certainly did. Didn't realize we had a streak that bad against ranked teams. Ughh. But just like Vandy in Football, we broke the seal.

That was some very ugly offensive basketball from both teams. Iowa hit 17-18 from the line, there's your game winning stat.

Ugly win much better than ugly loss, so glad to have it regardless. Would have been a fun game to be at, tight game all night.
