Game Thread: Indiana at Iowa 2 PM ESPN

[Bigred3588 1,535]

I’ll take a 3 point deficit with the D we played in that half 

[JSHoosier 22,196]

Well, we're within 3.  Let's make some adjustments and get a W against a team that's won like 3 conference games.

[LockdownD 2,251]

Down 3 at half.  I'm happy. Now make adjustments.

[Hoosier Guy 8,333]

Iowa played as well as they could’ve and they’re only up 45-42 at the half. I’ll take that. IU is gonna win

Gotta have better D in second half—but we are still in good position to take this. Nice late buckets by Smith and RoJo to pull us back into it. Go Hoosiers—we need 4 in a row!

I'm happy as of right now down by 3. Let's come out in the 2nd half and play balls out and win by 10+.

Jesus I can’t believe that 3 went in. Rob landed 4 feet away from where he jumped off. Nice recovery guys. Go get after them in the 2nd. Need to answer for giving up 45 to Iowa in a half. No excuses. Get physical. Get after the boards. Let’s go!

they scored more than Rutgers did all game. 

3 points not bad. Now it's about adjustments

Thinking the same thing. I think they gave IU their best shot early and will hopefully fade from here.

2 for 2 from the line and only 6 TO’s..... seemed like more to me though.

Poor first half, they scorched us to start but we battled back. Need to get Morgan involved down low (and hopefully get a call or two). Johnson and Green are actually making threes.

Slow it down. Slice their zone. Don't give up easy buckets.

I hate the Big Ten.

Hartman came in and played some damn hard/smart defense. 

Smith using his athleticism.

Loved the high, floating banker by McRoberts.

Morgan having trouble working under the bucket with their size and the leeway for contact being given by the officials (at our end of the court).

First game I've seen Archie looking like he could get a tech with some of the calls.

Rob hitting some big threes.

And, as mentioned, with everything going Iowa's way in the first half - they should be nervous with only a 3 point lead.

[cappymo14 2,276]

Nice job attacking the zone toward the end there. Doubt they come out of it in the 2nd with our shooters, keep getting under it boys.

(Un)fortunately, IU won't see the line much this game. We're not considered a tough or energetic defense which leads to fouls when we touch an offensive player while the opposite isn't true.

That Garza has one weird shot!

You can tell Green is growing as a player. A couple months ago he would’ve run down and chucked a 3 trying to get the lead

On the bright side, when his playing career is over he could audition to be the next Mummy.
