Finish January Strong

[MadRU]

Can we get at least 3 of the next 4? This would mean a least one more on the road.

Iowa
At Minnesota
Maryland
At Nebraska

Obviously want all 4, but after this it gets real tough.

Would be awesome for sure. This team is not good enough to take any team for granted (u know what I mean)

Lets start by getting one over Iowa on tue.

Then minny becomes biggest game of year.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Crap...I misunderstood the app...thx!!!

No B1G games are easy but this is the part of the schedule where we need to overperform if anything. Anything less than 3 out of this 4 and it just makes it that much tougher with the February beast schedule looming

I want all 4 but this team is just so inconsistent right now. It's hard to trust that they will show up night in and night out with 2 solid halves

 

[scarletrat]

we need 1-2 additional players to step up and average at least 7-8 pts, and one of them to occasionally get into double digits...had hoped Jones early in season, but maybe Mulcahy like yesterday, Cliff on occasion.

 

[scarletrat]

BTW, when Maryland landed Russell and Wahab in the transfer portal, I thought they did great...Wahab didn't start, and didn't play much and had no impact...Russell IMO, very overrated...should have stayed in A-10.

Iowa with a very strong first half vs Minnesota

We really need to do well because February is brutal.

 

[bigmatt718]

I'm not impressed with Minnesota. That's a road game we need to steal next week.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

3 minimum somehow, please

Minnesota playing hero ball making a run on Iowa. Still a mountain to climb but they have life.

Game has gotten interesting

Down only 7 with 4 minutes left, after being down by 23. Minny’s zone D is stifling Iowa’s offense.

Exactly, can’t figure out the zone.
4 point game

 

[BillyC80]

Minnesota only down 4 now…

 

[BillyC80]

Two big missed FTs for Iowa, wow, and a missed dunk by MN

 

[MadRU]

Missed a dunk that would have brought the house down. 3 pt game

 

[MadRU]

Dagger 3

Murray coming up huge after a bad looking possession

 

[BillyC80]

Murray with the shot clock winding down, damn. His only 3 of the game.

 

[MadRU]

Iowa tried to give it to Minnesota, missing foul shots and turnovers. Murray’s three was the game.

 

[Scangg]

I'm guessing a combo of Harper Caleb and Mag on Murray as top likely candidates.

Looks like he's their 4 so Harper would draw it usually.

Wonder if there are fatigue and foul concerns to have Harper draw a different matchup to protect him

I’m all for throwing different bodies at Murray throughout the game.

On a key possession where we need a stop, which of those three are you putting on him?

 

[rob kight]

Pike needs to watch Minnesota defense against Iowa in 2nd half. Seemed to have baffled Iowa and helped Minnesota get back in game.

Probably Caleb and have him try to deny Murray the ball or force him far out to get it.

Really whoever had more success during the course of the game and be flexible based on what you see. Ron can play some tough D when he needs to and has more bulk
