I think they just flashed the stat that Izzo just won his 12th senior night game in a row.

And we clinch 2nd place in the BT and of course the second seed in the BTT.
Now beat IA Sunday just because they're IA, solidify that NCAA 4 seed and get ready to make some noise in the BTT.
Didn't back into it
If I was NW I would want to get healthy. If Boo isn’t on they can’t score more than 65. They know how to slow the game down and play at their pace but they don’t have depth anymore
I sure hope not. Especially the game will start at 5:30 PM CT.
Your right....haha. Would be a problem if we start at 6:30
Didn't realize Nicholson got hurt.
It starts at 6:30 for some people including me.
We rooting for Iowa State to lose this?
Maybe but I don't think they are going to lose
Coming down to the wire for sure
Minnesota 4-24 from 3 tonight at Indiana... Granted Indiana is much better at D than us, but still. 34.6% from the field and 48 points with 3:30 left.
Hawkins 0-5 from 3
Mitchell 2-9
Christie 2-8

It's been a bizarre year. No our defense has not been great, but teams have shot the lights out against us

There is something to a teams psychology in sports. When shots fall for one or two guys, it can ramp up confidence for others.
Oh for sure. Still think we have been unlucky though. Watched Iowa State play last night. Sold defense, but they literally left BYU wide open the entire second half and they missed everything. This year for us those shots would be going in
Thought about that last night watching Sparty brick wide open 3 after wide open 3. If they were playing us I feel like they would have gone 12-17 instead of 2-17.
Maybe we are due for some negative regression in the tourney. Here’s hoping.
Maybe the secret is to leave them wide open so they have to think about it. When guarded closely they act instinctively.

I do wonder sometimes. Close out with an arm up, seems like the shooter never misses. If you're not gonna block the shot, I suspect it might be better defense to lower your arms on the close out. I've sometimes seen players lower both arms right before a player releases a free throw, and it must mess with the shooter's head, because I swear it increases the chance of a miss by 50%. (I think it's illegal in the free throw setting, though I've never seen it called.)Maybe the secret is to leave them wide open so they have to think about it. When guarded closely they act instinctively.
