Don't blame them. Their women's team is legit. And to be fair, in the 80s and early 90s their men's team had a rabid rabid following. The Lickliter hire basically put them in a hell they've never really gotten out ofIowa students decided to take the weekend off and watch the better team, I guess. Their section is not even 25% capacity..
Agreed. It’s particularly bad todayReading this thread and I remember why I try and stay out of the game threads….
Even though we missed layups/dunks and are getting seriously jobbed by the refs.Still up double digits at half on the road. Iowa was going to make their run. Now did we help them? Yes but they weren't going to lay die down and die on Senior Night in a tournament-like setting for them.
We were told to slow it up? Why? By whom?They are told to slow it up, and IA goes on a huge run, yet players are still passing up good early shots. Let them play. We were killing them in running game, even if it was ugly.
Moretti has had 3-4 of those lazy over the top passes at half court picked off. They are clearly scouted at this point. When he picks up the dribble, prepare to jump.
OTOH, the starters are rested.The bench has to be better. 5 points, 3 rebounds, 4 TO's and 7 fouls.

We held the Kenpom #9 offense to 29 first-half points, out-rebounded them by 10, and outshot them 50% to 33% for a double-digit lead on the road…Reading this thread and I remember why I try and stay out of the game threads….
This - him or Ty likely have to make some big plays to win in the tourney.QG hitting the boards hard and still shooting well. Good to see that carry over.
He anticipated that one. The one on Harmon was awful too. Especially when at the other end freeman is allowed to just toss our guys aroundd j bald head ref will do things in the second half to make it a close game.......we can count on it........that O foul he called on Dain was the weakest O foul I have seen in the B$G this year........
Harmon with 3 fouls concerns me , as does extended tick for Moretti......He is adequate but needs a ton of muscle to play in the B$G regularly........
Perkins will be raring to go in the second half after sitting for so long....His facial expressions looks like a bad case of constipation ....
I hope BU let's the starters play more in the second half as I want to do as much damage to the idiots NCAA tourney hopes as possible.....I really really do...............................

Loyalty game thread:
Then, we should stop fouling and start playing defense with our feet.The foul discrepancy is atrocious
Well...Iowa basically didnt score for 8 minutes, and we blew a 25+ point lead while Underwood threw in weird lineups and never called a single timeout while Iowa was absolutely surging.
That run Iowa went on too long.We held the Kenpom #9 offense to 29 first-half points, out-rebounded them by 10, and outshot them 50% to 33% for a double-digit lead on the road…

We are 22-7? I feel like we’ve done ok, lolThe main problem I have seen witnessed with this team since the beginning is they have NO KILLER INSTINCT! I am so sick of watching this team give up leads. They continually find ways to turn the ball over or lose men on defense. It is just so maddening. Also, Underwood has no sense of when to substitute and when to leave things as they are. If Harmon can go three offensive times down the court without doing something stupid it will be a first. Quit getting sped up. "Be quick, but don't hurry": John Wooden. They will get no help in this game. It is paramount to remember: this is a game being played in Iowa City. Dain gets sped up and it helps him in no way.
