Now Phinisee's turn to try and close this game out. Just take care of the ball

X tripping all over the place tonight

Geronimo! I'd say he's earned himself more minutes this game - he's been damn impressive

Weak T. Come on get this silver fox out of this building - he's terrible

Nebraska trying everything they can, but X lands that kick and he'd be gone imo. There's just enough tape on him now, that teams are going to go after him to get him to react

I'd be shocked if X doesn't get ejected in a game this season. He's so easy to bait into something

Beat me this time lol

Come on X. Don't react - they are clearly trying to bait you. You land that kick and you're likely out of the game

Parker! Need him to avoid foul trouble - his shooting is too valuable

6 point lead at half is not what I'd hope for, but could be worse. Hoping IU can get Parker some open looks and get him going to stretch the floor a bit

Barbeque chicken?

This half needs to end. Guys are treading water a bit trying to avoid more fouls

Spineless

They are looking for an excuse to not make an ejection here. It's Nebraska, the crowd isn't going to be too hostile if you eject that clown

That's got to be something! No need for that at all

Bates making an impact. Hopefully this is a game that can springboard him to close out the season. Really could use more from him

My bad. You're the mod, you can always ban me - so I'll refrain from posting - but man Geronimo can jump

That didn't last long at least with Durr getting his 2nd foul

Buckle in - 5 reserve lineup in

Called it once on him, met the quota. Does he not know he can't do that? Alarming for a B1G PG to not know that if so

Durr gets hacked on a shot, but called for a foul on a weak reach. Classic B1G refs

Coach Woodson really hedging on that suit vs casual attire

NBA teams do this type of thing in the second quarter, right? That’s my only thought of why he does this but this isn’t the NBA and we don’t have the talent to effectively pull it off. I’m hoping he figures that out but I doubt it changes as he’s done it in every game and clearly it’s part of his strategy for whatever reason

Is Lander a threat on offense? I'm sure he was better this year, in his limited time, than last and all those airballs are etched in my memory, but I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Lander would be over X or Phin.

Couldn’t agree with this more. Lander struggles to keep his man in front of him and with how good Iowa is at offense with him in Iowa likely scores more and we struggle to score at a great enough clip to recover from a bigger deficit. I fully expect the 5 on 5 off lineup changes against Nebraska. Hopefully it won’t matter and we beat them anyway - but us fans notice it, the announcers ask who’s going to take shots when that lineup is in so I fail to understand why the staff doesn’t recognize that’s a problem. Ohio St game is the only time I can recall where that hasn’t cost us
