I'm actually not that disappointed in the way Iowa played. You're not going to win any game where you miss 13 layups and 2 dunks . That said you're not going to miss those shots very often . Game was a 2 point game at the 5 minute mark in the first half and then there was just a lid on the basket the next 15 minutes. It happens

Where I do take issue is you can't let your offense impact your D. If you score 13 points in 15 minutes you can't give up 40 in the same span. Good thing is it's just 1 game

Hawks were pretty much just standing around watching in the 2nd half.

Yep the offensive game didn't bother me as that was just bad shooting ( which happens ). It was the defensive effort during that stretch that bothered me . You can always defend

Are you disappointed that Iowa will be an 0-2 Big 10 cellar dweller for the next 4 weeks? Yeah, they were to good Wisconsin and Mich St teams, but that Sparty loss was ugly.

On a good note Iowa will be the king of the cellar dwellers for that duration.

I'll be disappointed if Nebraska starts 1-1. Even though Miles started with nothing, he is 5-2 against Pitino in the Big 10.

They've got better wins than Nebraska this season IMO.

Nebraska opened up -2 tho.

Yeah, kinda. Northwestern had an actual home crowd and erything. Kinda impressed.


What was up with Simpson sitting until the last seconds?
He took terrible shots but the bigger problem is he is a terrible jump shooter. He probably could be a two way NBA player if he had any jumpshot whatsoever.

We've only played 1 home game so far this season. Lol. And it was against Utah who stinks. I'm not really sure if we know how good we are at home.

I had to look that up. UNO was also a home game and although Oklahoma St was played in US Bank Stadium it was still played in Minneapolis.

Nov 6th: Nebraska Omaha - Minneapolis Williams Arena (109-53)
Nov 12th: Utah - Minneapolis Williams Arena (78-69)
Nov 30th: Oklahoma St - Minneapolis US Bank Stadium (83-76)

Oh shit. Forgot about the UNO game. But they suck just as bad as Utah so there is really no opponent we've played to give an indication how good we are at home. I don't count the Oklahoma State game because there was like 10 people at the game. Lol.

Good to start 2-0 in B1G play.

Hopefully we can run through Bucknell/Youngstown State/High Point. Beat UCLA in a few weeks and roll into the home game against Sparty on 1/5 12-1
