Woody locker room post-game PUke:   "You cannot go home & not validate what you did tonight."   Take no prisoners.

We're going back to the Super Bowl!!

Take care of the ball, compete, and rebound. It would be really nice to see us round out our offense with TJD getting his in the post and us taking and making shots from deep.

I want to see a collective stare down of franimal from the student section

Chances of X getting playing time minutes Tuesday night?

<25% / 25%-50% / 50%-75% / 75%<?

I'd vote 50%-75% he gets some minutes. Ultimately, I'm hoping he's eased back in as the first guard off the bench and takes mostly Bates' minutes or any extra minutes from JHS/Galloway in foul trouble.

100% he'll be at the game.

Poorly worded by me, thanks for the humor. I'll adjust the wording to avoid further confusion.

Iowa can put up a ton of points quickly. When they do they’re tough to beat (14-1 when scoring 80 points). Otoh, if they’re not clicking they kind of roll over. I suspect this will be a tough game for us. We’ll need the offense to have a good game and not go through 5-7min stretches of not scoring a FG.

Unofficial Injury depth report:

Starters:

6’8 220 F Kris Murray (20.2 PPG, obviously their best player, dropped 30 points in the first matchup)

6’9 230 F Fillip Rebecca (Averages around 14 PPG, good player for the Hawkeyes)

6’4 205 G Tony Perkins (Very streaky shooter)

6’3 190 G Ahron Ulis (One of the better passers on the floor, and doesn’t commit too many turnovers)

6’6 215 G Connor McCaffery (Brings a lot of of experience to Iowa, passing skills are very good)

Seems like a lot of their starters have been playing very heavy minutes in the last 5-7 games. A lot of them around playing around 33+ minutes or more in their games and some are fouling pretty crazy. However it has worked, as Iowa is one of the best offenses in the country and just recently dropped 112 points against a solid MSU defense. While Iowa’s defense is just chilling around and has giving up more than 80 points a couple of times this month. They do average around 7 steals a game and turns the ball over around 10 per game. Their free throw percentage is fairly good too at around 74%. While Iowa is averaging around 77.7 points per game in offensive, they are also giving up 77.0 points per game. Very good chance this will be a high scoring affair.

Looking at their bench, they usually like to play about 7-8 players off the bench. The 2 names I see the most that play quality minutes is 6’7 215 F Payton Standfort (averaging 10.0 PPG and 20.7 MPG) and 6’9 210 F Patrick McCaffery (Averaging about 10 PPG, took time off). Another player that comes off the bench is 6’5 190 Josh Dix. I do see 6’11 245 C Riley Mulvey coming off the bench for this game.
 

Injury Report:

6’10 275 Josh Ogundele- hasn’t played in in a few weeks

They have 2 players medically redshirting this year

Like most of the Big Ten Iowa really struggles on the road.  2-7 in conference road games with the average loss by over 13 points per game.  Get off to a quick start like we did in Iowa City and no way they come back this time.

[Whoozhers 3,638]

We owe them a big league beat down!

No let up!

Go all in on loose balls! Those are our’s!!

Get the W HOOSIERS!!

Who do I think is going have a good game?  
It’s Bates.  If he is ever going to break out this is the perfect game/opponent.

Hearing things from Peegs that X will indeed be dressing tomorrow. Whether he plays or not, who knows.

Screw this week. Screw the B1G tournament. Thanks to the resume that IU has already put together those are now just dress rehearsals. 

Race is starting to look much more physically complete. If we can get X back and completely healthy for March Madness?

OHHHH BOYYYYYY

Woody just said the other day X hasn't even been practicing. Can't imagine any scenario where he hits the floor after this lengthy injury without practicing.

Mind games

[HoosierFan1994 4,633]

Said before that if X can give IU 10-15 minutes a game, that's going to be huge. I am skeptical and want to see him play a few games first. Sounds like we may see him play this week.

Worried about this one after the big win Saturday.
