Good to hear.  But, if that's the case, and with all due respect to X, he should head to Hollywood after graduation.  From the sound of it, I thought his arm was split in two, a la Joe Thiesmann   I turned away and couldn't watch any replays.  :)  

Personal feelings on X as a person aside, and I’m not medical by profession or Holiday Inn Express, but I’m told a dislocation, hyperextension, etc. without a break can feel and sound like something snapping. My opinion is that what you saw and heard was fear and years of frustration from knowing the difficulty of rehab for his past injuries. X certainly plays a style of ball that looks to accentuate contact and draw fouls, but anyone who knows him will tell you he’s probably the toughest guy on the team and would have loved to have hopped up off the floor after hitting the deck and walked to the free throw line with a “can’t phase me” scowl on his face. Just my two cents. But it wasn’t a Hollywood worthy moment.

Now need to learn the rebounding thing.

Not that Iowa is the most rough and tumble team, but they sure as hell learned it for last night. Our guards finally did their job rebounding; Trey, Anthony, even CJ.

Gallo and Leal had career nights rebounding with 7. Hopefully that continues.

Naw, learn how to make free throws first... then boxing out and rebounding

Have them practice boxing out and rebounding at the same time as FTs. As bad as we are at the line, that'd be A LOT of box out practice.

You should see me when I catch a pinky toe on a corner in my house...academy award type performances. 

Oh me too.  Mostly to see if the wife will still come and check on me.  :)

19 rebounds from Trey, Anthony, CJ, X, and Gabe, including 16 of our 32 defensive rebounds. That's good stuff.

I don’t hate that as an adjustment, and I would agree we’re helping less and giving less spot up 3’s. That’s a good thing.  
 

But just going under like that still led to a bunch of open 3’s. They were just off the dribble which some guys have trouble with. Others will still make us pay. To that point Sandfort was redhot and in that last clip and you saw Galloway chase…going under on a guy like him would be a death sentence.   
 

tldr: typically you don’t go under to help your 3pt def. Quite the opposite. But since ours stemmed from terrible bouts of overhelping, it actually increases our help defenders chances of not getting out of position.  
 

Nice quick fix wrinkle by the staff. Not a long term solution, imo

Thank you Anthony for having our hearts pumping cream and crimson through our veins at a high rate again! 
Your performance was tremendous!

Keep it up young man!!

GO HOOSIERS!

I don't think the biggest sunshine pumper would've predicted Leal would finish with the most made 3s and be tied for 2nd most rebounds on the team.

Don Fish sidekick Pre game talked about different things that scared him about Iowa vs IU.  Then IU beats an average big ten team at home and though a good win IU men basketball fans falling all over themselves .  Times sure have changed over the years.

and yes, excellent game A.Leal.

It's his way of the rest of saying, "Enjoyed the win!"

Further proof that "Hall of Calls" is dead: the "foul" on Cupps with 8:43 to play when Dix blew by him and scored. If Cupps even touched him at all, it was barely a tap on the arm. Zero chance a ref even thinks about calling that back in the day. 

I agree they don’t get calls they use to but that’s a foul every time by Cupps.  Hit him in the face trying to block it

Happy with the win.  Happy for Leal that he was able to contribute to the win.  Happy that Ware dominated inside. Happy we shot and made three-point shots.  But I fully expected to win.  We should always win at home.

Show me who is falling over themselves. You exaggerate much

It's crazy how many posters all basically say the same things without directly quoting each other. Literal definition of an echo chamber.

Seriously though can we “Cam Spencer” Sandfort to Indiana this off-season.  He is what all Indiana fans think Conor Essegian is.
