Juwan missed the block out at end.

And nobody really knew about them except CTC.
I've been pretty hard on him but finding those two and bringing on Max is a stroke of genius IMO.

[southsidehoosier]

I don't think they can sustain this pace. Our legs will prevail

[Ryno6284]

coincidence we are playing better whenever troy is riding the pine?  Hopefully Morgan and OG can gobble up his second half minutes.  Give Troy MSB's mins. HAHA

I thought it was TB?

I loved that half from the perspective of how we played. We came out unintimidated playing like we expected to win. We did not allow the crowd to become a factor.

[Brass Cannon]

15-4 FT disparity and they are down 6.  LOL Iowa

Or the refs :)

I feel better about this team at this point of the season than the team that won our last big ten title. More energy.

Honestly I didn't think Troy played awful that half. I like having OG and Morgan off the bench. Brings a huge spark to our team.

OK good half. Keep up the hard work on the boards. Worried about the foul trouble right now. Just focus on this half. Try getting interior touches against that zone. I'd like to see TW take this over to start. Be careful Troy, play under control and just take what they give you. Rebound, rebound , rebound, rebound. Win this half. Focus.

Troy played like Troy..  Did some really good things, and then did some really stupid things as well.  

[Parakeet Jones]

I have a feeling Good Troy is about to blow up.

Yogi Nz3 Troy OG Bielfedt this is what I like as. A lineup vs Iowa

If they are going to zone us, TW needs to float the baseline and just wait for an opening to get an easy bucket!  Maybe that would get him going tonight!

I hope the refs just begin to make the same calls on both teams.

[hoosierdogg]

I'm pretty pumped with that first half. I think we will have to play much better defense in the second half, I just don't think we can shoot that well for 1 whole game on the road.

Agree, need to work inside out, get TB involved.  Hawks with 7 more made free throws, yet down 6.  They cant be happy with that.  Need to get some calls in the 2nd half, and turn up the defensive intensity.  Extend the lead early and don't let Iowa or their crowd back in the game.

A few make up calls would be nice as well

Just started watching.... What happened in first half?
