I hope they are loose and go out there and play hard and have fun. Nothing to lose, so go after it! Presser after last nights win almost had the vibe of a loss. Chin up y'all!
3 to tie, 4 to break I think.
noooooo its on BTN
If Nunn plays with intensity the whole game and Finke drains some 3's early, this could be a close one.

this plus hopefully iowa continues to slump. I do worry about fatigue of the back to back.
Im hopeful
I don't think fatigue will be a problem today, the blowout win meant minutes were distributed across more players yesterday.
In fact, it's often an advantage to have played more recently in these early conference tourney games.
I always noticed teams seem to come out very sluggish in tournament settings. I am thinking our game yesterday would be an advantage to us today. Fatigue won't be a serious issue until game 3 at the earliest, I would think. Hopefully we can make it that far.
Yeah, unfortunately I don't think fatigue will be a factor because I doubt we're playing tomorrow. But there's always hope....
We have one clear advantage: We've played a game on this court, and thus shot at both hoops. If we play team ball on offense and get after it on D and on the boards, we could spring an upset. Ya never know.
The keys IMO are
-play active on O and D like it's your last game on earth
- focus on "making them extremely uncomfortable" on D
(pausing to grab my koolaide that is over half full)....
Do these two things and we will have a shot at the greatest Cinderella run in BTN tourney history.
Iowa's bench is one of the worst in the B1G.
