We need to be doing more on offense. Can’t just move the ball around the arc and then one on one drive. Last few possessions we’ve gotten better and we need to keep it up. No more empty offensive possessions. Slowing it down is one thing but not getting into the paint is another.

Jess Settles. I hated that guy when he was playing. He’s ok on TV.
Time to lock down on defense. Let’s see if we have the gas to do it.
Boo should not have taken that second 3-pointer. Take the second-chance opportunity to get a quality shot. Now we’re down 5.
Need to regroup right now.

My son, about a half-hour ago: “So, if he does a reverse dunk, is it a Nicholback?”
I think it is.
I think it is.
I don’t like this. Boo forced that three and Chase has forced two straight pull-ups. Let’s get to the bucket now.
Only if he also looks at this photographMy son, about a half-hour ago: “So, if he does a reverse dunk, is it a Nicholback?”

I know NU’s gameplan is to slow down the game but when there are chances to press and get points it feels like they’ve got to take them. The half court offense isn’t working well right now.
Our tiredness may b catching up now- seems like just no sharpness right now. we just keep messing up and they arent
NU just doesn't have the guns to keep up with an Iowa team that's 9-18 from 3. Basketball is still a game about scoring points and NU doesn't score them super well. Iowa does, and they're pretty hot tonight.
I don’t love that we have them again in Evanston. They’re too good from 3, the major kryptonite of our defense.
We lost our position as the aggressor on defense. Forcing turnovers and limiting easy buckets.
These refs are horrendous.
No flow, no consistency. It’s evened out fairly well between the two teams, but ruining what was a great college basketball game for most of the way.

I think it’s fine. The game was out of hand and these refs are an absolute joke. Lurch always goes out of his way to **** us.
That was a strategic technical. Collins knows the game is over and is sending internal and external messages.
I wouldn’t mind if the last three minutes got a little chippy. It could be a fun return match in Evanston.
I’m usually a goes both ways guy when it comes to officiating. But this was a very biased game. Home court, fear of Franco, emotions regarding Street or whatever the F is happening. Just terrible.
I’d like to Big Matt clothesline Sandfort. Or maybe just desneaker him.
I’ll be rooting against Iowa the rest of the way.
Or maybe it was just emotions pouring out. Regardless, it’s not a bad tech. He has to make a point. If you don’t refs will benefit the whiners on the other side
How can a kid like Patrick McCaffrey seem so nice and likable, while every other member or his family is a loud mouth idiot?
Traditionally, I’ve had quite a bit of respect for their basketball program…Fran is so irritating though. He’s a good coach, but just miserable person on the sidelines. Really makes it hard to watch the Hawkeyes.
Fwiw, I used to hate watching Indiana with Knight for similar reasons.
I can think of a few questionable calls against NU but what specifically did you see that was so egregious?
