Iowa vs Northwestern live thread

[rob kight]

The over/under for this game is now 169

 

[G- RUnit]

Iowa might be the best team in the B1G. Country?

 

[Scangg]

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

Definitely need the officials to allow a physical game

 

[Salvi's Headband]

We better hope Iowa cools off tomorrow. Sheesh.

 

[zebnatto]

Lot of 2nd half rest for Hawkeye starters.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

After dealing with Northwestern's tired legs and its defensive liabilities, Iowa won't know what hit it when we throw our well-rested defense at it. The Hawkeyes may score less in tomorrow's game than they do in the first half today.

 

[Scangg]

Iowa definitely a team to fear in the NCAA. Wouldn't be surprised if they made a deep run at this point

 

[Scangg]

The good news is Iowa is likely to shoot worse tomorrow. Can't shoot this well every game

 

[Miggins]

We totally flustered their offense when we played them. Key tomorrow is we have to be great defensively early. They are firing on all cylinders and hot as can be, but if early they are not finding success I can see it getting in their head quickly "Fing Rutgers again!".

On the flip side if they have success early all doubts are erased and they can then roll.

Wouldn’t be shocked if they get punched in the mouth by a physical team either

Northwester has given up 50 points in 17 minutes and fouled TWICE. Wow..... show some toughness

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Well this won't help our B1G tournament championship chances.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Geezus, just turned the game on my phone. Iowa already scored more in 17 minutes than they scored against us in an entire game.

They will have our attention tomorrow, that’s for sure.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

We need to keep the game in the 60s. Iowa is going to score 60 in the first half today.

 

[bethlehemfan]

Iowa is hot as a firecracker

Iowa might be able to.

This
Stop being scared people

 

[RUinBoston]

Well this won't help our B1G championship tourney chances.

Why? Iowa using up all of their points today is great for us.

 

[Rokodesh]

Iowa is toying with them

 

[Rokodesh]

The over/under for this game is now 169

The might be the total for Iowa alone

[FrankZ_RU93]

One would hope

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

what this does.. if it holds for Iowa.. is help us if we do lose to them. The better they look, the better a loss to them looks.

of course, beating them is even better.

64 IN A HALF

 

[Eagleton95.99]

I was at least hoping NW would make Iowa break a sweat. The double bye isn't looking like an advantage if the previous game is just a nice warm up for the other team.

 

[Scangg]

11/16 from 3

 

[newell138]

get their hot shooting out of the way, they can't miss right now

 

[Rokodesh]

I've never seen a college team score 64 in one half

 

[Scangg]

Pike really better be thinking about how he can limit the open 3's. Make Iowa beat you inside the arc

 

[RU Mike73]

Iowa 64 points at half including 11 threes. Record is 14 for entire game.

 

[bac2therac]

wait they are not good

 

[ScarletDave]

Iowa benching their starters for 10 mins, helps or hurts us?

 

[sugarkane2]

obscene display of offense...lol

 

[kcg88]

Trust me Iowa is going to want to prove a point after we held them to 46 last time.

 

[Miggins]

Key question is what second half adjustments will Northwestern make.........?

Maybe leave the building before 2nd half starts!

 

[Rokodesh]

Pike really better be thinking about how he can limit the open 3's. Make Iowa beat you inside the arc

I think we gotta play man tomorrow as we're always late in 2-3 when teams pass it around the perimeter well

 

[RUDead]

You know Caleb is watching this game somewhere and getting pissed. Ha.

 

[zebnatto]

Iowa benching their starters for 10 mins, helps or hurts us?

Hurts for sure.

 

[kcg88]

Northwestern made the classic bad team mistake of winning their first round game and running into a juggernaut. Who else remembers 92-31?

 

[PiscatawayMike]

64-31... better than 92-31 in Memphis eight years ago.
