Iowa is desperate for the win if they want 1st round bye in B1G Tourney.

I think they are deparate for a win just for their psyche.

Iowa needs to learn how to stop the opponent to make 3 pointers. What is weird is a lot of the 3 pointers the other team makes, they have a hand in their face, but most of the time, they are open when they shoot.

It would be nice to see the defense show up. Tired of seeing one player after another having a career night.

Idk about Iowa man, every game I've seen them play (5-6) they have lost so obviously it doesn't help there cause. I just don't like there defense. I feel like the big rotation is nice but some of there top scorers aren't able to get in a groove. They need this W badly.

Jarms how do you get the green for Game thread, I've tried it twice in my thread I can't get it to work.

IDK, I just pick Game Thread on the drop down menu thing next to the title box.

I have been disappointed with Aaron White's scoring this season. He's not the same as last year. He was one who deserved more #SCTop10 plays, but since he was a white guy on .500 Iowa, he wasn't getting that many. This year, he's not being aggressive.

I think Woodbury is making stupid fouls and stuff on defense, but he is getting aggressive. He is at least trying to play like a big guy on D. Olaseni (or however it's spelled) is nice with the ball under the hoop, but it seems like he hit the wall. He was a beast in the paint, and lately he hasn't done much.

I know someone of you have pointed this out, Iowa gets too fast for their own good. There are times they just need to stop and set things up.

White is the guy I was mostly talking about. Where is the hell is he at? I was waiting for him to do something with MSU the other day.

Half court O set up will do them well.

I had a thread last year about who was going to score more points last season, White or Marble. It was a good one (at least for me it was). I wonder since it's Marble's senior year and White has one more, if he is letting Marble be on top by himself. I'm sure that's not it though.

Marble has a beautiful jump shot, really like that kid. Iowa finally got there shit together.

Duke games on though, I'll try switching back n forth!

I love Marble's fade-away jumper that he likes to the left of free throw line. That's where Marble is very dangerous. He can do that fade-away or he can take it to the rim.
