**Iowa at NW - 1/9/19 - 8 pm - BTN**

[HiawathaHawk]

I cannot use my four tickets on Saturday. PM me if interested.

When can you use your tickets?

When I’m fucking your mom.

Well that doesn't make much sense.

 

[Geese]

Say what you will about anything else but we still have 2.5 more years of Garza and Weiskamp. That's 2/5 of a really good team.

A really good team takes more than 5 pieces

In spite of the whiteness a starting lineup in 2 years of Garza, P. McCaff, Weiskamp, and C. McCaff and whomever (X. Foster?). Sounds pretty fucking promising. We can find some bench dudes. I'm all about Toussiant and a quick guard we never have.

X foster lolol

X foster lolol

I know. But apparently he is AJ Blazek's nephew.

 

[Geese]

I’ll be at Saturday’s game, so I will not need L wade’s tickets.

Don't make it awkward if you see me

You'll know it's @Soda Popinski if he has his entire finger up his nose

 

[KitKatApples]

Yea his nose

 

[Nobody]

 

[Stu Beagle]

Absolutely huge getting a road win tonight.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

First win in Evanston since 2014

 

[MikeyJoe]

Getting the call right on the Garza elbow was huge.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Garza's cylinder for sure won this game

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

lol at the NW beat people asking about fouls when Pardron and Benson and Law were straight mugging/ahndsy all game.

Perfect excample is that sequence where Garza is clearly fouled and loses the ball and then the crowd goes apeshit because it was off Garza nad Crispin is like "well usually they would just call a foul but they let it go and gave the ball to Iowa"

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Kriener is such an enigma. You just don’t know coming into a given night if Fran can play him 7 or 25 minutes.

[HiawathaHawk]

Started 4-7 from the line, finished 17-19.

 

[Wanderer]

Real good chance to get to 4-4 in the giant douche after the next 3 games even if Ohio state comes out on fire after losing to Rutgers. 4-4 puts them right on pace and 5-3 would be boners all over.

 

[CamelTones]

Kriener is such an enigma. You just don’t know coming into a given night if Fran can play him 7 or 25 minutes.

Since Iowa seems to have 1 guy like this on their team every year its a good thing it’s Kriener and not Moss.

 

[CamelTones]

Started 4-7 from the line, finished 17-19.

From 3 misses to 2. That’s impressive in 1 game.

Poorly worded. Meant they went 17-19 the rest of the way.

 

[douglasbader]

14 assists, only 7 turnovers. Won by 10 on the road when you went 4-17 from 3 and were missing your best player.

If there is anything good about Cook being out, it is the turnovers are cut down. There are so many where he either turns it over or the rest of the team turns it over trying to force it to him.

I’d just play it safe and error on the side of 7.

I always think of MBLP when I see this gif.

 

[CamelTones]

Dailey was great on defense tonight. Any offense he provides is a bonus but that’s the type of game he should play every game.

 

[Shpadoinkle]

These guys figured out the post entry pass.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Was Fran a bit emotional in that Q&A?

Here we go boyz

 

[Creed]

Fran just said cook is day to day with a nagging issue and will see the doctor when they get back to Iowa City. Hopefully he can play this weekend.

 

[J1973s]

I think the play of Moss has been a bit overlooked. He's playing with confidence and his defense and passing have been solid.

Uh

He was good on D

His offense is a bonus for the other team.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Jumped 7 spots in KenPom to 36. Should get a good boost in the NET rankings too. Were 36th coming into tonight.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

What was our defensive PPP?

We were over 1 Sunday, but still under Nebrantska’s average.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Luka was 10-11 at the line. Up to 86% on the season now.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

What was our defensive PPP?

We were over 1 Sunday, but still under Nebrantska’s average.

.95. Best in a Big Ten game since Wisconsin last January. Best in a Big Ten road game since Wisconsin March of '17.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

As expected our 3pt D has completely reverted from last year but it’s been an incredible turnaround. We are in the 10th percentile nationally after being in the 90tj percentile last year.

It's interesting in that while the Kenpom doesn't love us (#36) our three losses are to his #3 (@MSU), #12 (Wisc - should have won) and #17 (@Purdue).

 

[CamelTones]

It looks hilarious when Baer is dribbling down the left side of the court with his right hand on a fast break. He’s just waiting for an opportunity to cut over to the right side of the basket.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Offense is now ranked 11th in the country on KenPom. Defense is 108. 1.11 points per possesion tonight on what was the 26th best defense in the country coming in.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

It's interesting in that while the Kenpom doesn't love us (#36) our three losses are to his #3 (@MSU), #12 (Wisc - should have won) and #17 (@Purdue).

The blowouts hurt us plus the close win vs. Bryant. Dropped 6 spots after the MSU and Bryant games, 7 spots after Purdue.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Our defensive metrics are interesting. We don’t allow threes. We don’t foul. We don’t drag out possessions. We basically allow the opponent to come down and immediately get a layup.

Math checks out.

JFC last year sucked to watch.

What does he have our W/L record at now? I look at the schedule and see 21 regular season wins.

20-11, 9-11 in the Big Ten. I think that would be enough to get us in with the strength of the league this year. Pitt got a good win over Louisville tonight too.
