Iowa vs Northwestern live thread

[Scangg]

Who will lose to Rutgers?

 

[zappaa]

Go Iowa, I think we can beat them.

 

[Scangg]

Iowa off to a hot start up 15-4 early

NW did come back last game so don't count them out yet

 

[RutgersK1d]

Bohannon looks smooth

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Place sounds like a morgue

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Did NW come out of the locker room yet?

 

[Plum Street]

Iowa is playing for equality

 

[BillyC80]

NW will have a run or two yet to come, and Iowa will cool down to make this a closer game.

I would love to beat Iowa again, but if not a revenge win against NW would be cool too.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

I don’t know. Maybe have someone guard Murray?

 

[BillyC80]

Jeez, Iowa with 28 points in 9 minutes.

 

[Miggins]

So will an Iowa 110-47 win be a good thing or bad thing for us ?

 

[bac2therac]

tomorrow will be tough, especially if we come out cold

 

[kcg88]

We're in for a rough one tomorrow.

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

Gonna be tough for our D to slow down Iowa. We can’t have a bad offensive game if we want any chance to win

 

[BillyC80]

This is my biggest concern. Our defense will have to keep us close until we heat up offensively.

 

[kcg88]

Iowa has been the #2 team in the country (behind only Gonzaga) over the past month according to Torvik. Just a machine.

 

[sugarkane2]

they're all rough.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

Can’t watch this anymore. Northwestern sucks.

 

[RUChoppin]

NW having a rough enough time without getting called for traveling on a pivot.

 

[BillyC80]

Question on strategy: Do we run against a team that played the day before, or do we slow it down assuming Iowa wins?

 

[BigEastPhil]

Indiana fans have cleared out. Say 7-8k watching game. Crowd is dead. Not too many Iowa fans and NWs fans you can count on a hand.
All Iowa does is shoot 3s.
Will be a tough game tomorrow as Iowa will be in a flow and not tires from NW game.
As Bac said , we can’t shoot like crap to begin the game.

FIG says they aren't good though...

 

[RutgersK1d]

We have to play our game (tough D and limit their shots)

 

[babbs09]

**** me Iowa is going to score 100 in this game at this rate. Can only hope they use up their shots today and not tomorrow.

We never run

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

34 points in 10 minutes, how the hell did we hold them to 46. Crazy.

 

[BillyC80]

Yes, but my question is regarding our offensive pace.

 

[Scangg]

No defense in site

One of the better defensive performances you'll ever see. Plus they were pretty cold.

 

[RUChoppin]

Well, Iowa's starters look like they'll be well rested for tomorrow. Might even get a nap in during the second half.

Hey - cut 'em some slack. They have to travel really, really far!

 

[hinson32]

Go Iowa, I think we can beat them.

Iowa has been playing really well the past month.

 

[BillyC80]

We never run

I guess I should have been more clear: do we work the clock on offense or play aggressively, driving to the hole and/or taking the first good look from deep?

 

[bac2therac]

need to attack Iowa and its important to make shots early. You dont want a track meet but you cannot just run clock and slow it down, you beat them by making them pay for poor defense. Then they get flustered on the other end and miss shots they normally make. Its not going to be another 48-46 game

 

[rob kight]

Hope our team is there watching this. Need to have a plan to defend the 3 and down low lobs. Northwestern is not coming back in this game.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Iowa has figured out how to be an offensive machine. We’re going to need to do something to take them out of their game. Or we’re going to need to score a ton. Fran’s a nut, but he knows what he’d doing on offense.

We need to be really physical and hope the refs swallow the whistle.

Attack the rim! No shot blockers. Maybe some token press just to slow them down. Don't want to get into a run and gun quick pace game. Grind it out make it ugly.

 

[RUBlackout]

Lets just hope NW goes on a run to keep Iowa's starters in the game and tire them out.

We will WIN tomorrow
