Shit

I didn't think this started until noon my time.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[iowajerms]

Fran called a timeout as Wisconsin has a 14-9 lead.

Brust shoots it like he's got five dicks stuck in his ass

Hawks started off well. Now settling into Wisconsin's game. Clemmons with a nice basket there.

 

[iowajerms]

Wisconsin has made last 6 shots.

 

[Red_Alert]

Wisconsin is hot outside the paint.

 

[iowajerms]

This game is picking up fast.

[Think McFly Think]

Wisconsin is knocking down EVERYTHING right now. Sheesh.

 

[stammer78]

This game could be entertaining if they keep shooting like this. I was expecting a score in the 60's.

 

[YourFriendGannon]

Thanks for setting the record straight on Uthoff's transfer, Dan Dakich. Now we all know Ryan was in the right all because you said so.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

Crazy how the series is tied in basketball and within 1 in football

Both teams average more than 70 ppg. I think Iowa's is over 80 ppg

 

[iowajerms]

Iowa is doing better defensively (Iowa has 1 less rebounds, 3 more steals, 1 more block, 4 more turnovers)

But Wisconsin is 60% in FGs (15/25) and 50% in 3PT (5/10)
Iowa is 44.8% (13/29) in FGs and 28.6% (2/7) in 3PT

 

[iowajerms]

I'm still pretty optimistic about Iowa coming back down by around 7. It's when Iowa is up by 20 at this point that I start to worry.

Yeah but remember this is Wisconsin basketball being played. Shooting has started to cool. Now Bo Ryan will have ball carrier fall asleep while dribbling basketball till 10 to go on the shot clock.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

Wisconsin can't keep shooting it like that....

 

[iowajerms]

Wisconsin leads 40-31 at halftime

WISCONSIN

Sam Dekker 12 points, 5-9 FG, 2-3 3PT, 6 rebounds
Bronson Koenig 10 points, 4-5 FG, 2-3 3PT
Frank Kaminsky 9 points, 4-4 FG, 4 rebs, 2 assists, 1 block

IOWA

Roy Devyn Marble 12 points, 5-11 FG, 2 assists
Gabriel Olaseni 6 points, 3-4 FG, 1 block
Adam Woodbury 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal
Aaron White 0 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals

 

[Smart]

Yeah, the nine point lead is deceiving. Iowa has been slightly better in every way except for the shooting.

 

[iowajerms]

I didn't realize that 9 points is the largest deficit Iowa has had at halftime this season.
