Nebraska (13-3) vs. Iowa (9-6) Game Thread

[No Place Like the Vault]

No call on Mast shot, then Sanfort gets a call

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Four straight games w two days of rest and prep. They all need a break…

Just can't get a stop... crazily enough our D is the lacking factor again.

Gary must be in the dog house.  We are back in the game. Let’s fix these defensive lapses and hit some shots. We can get a W.

These last 2 minutes, we need to hold.  Down 4-6 points, hang on .  Keep it at 4.

Iowa reminds me of Creighton in that they really make you chase them in the half court.

I think he has 2 fouls.

it's there for the taking. defense takes energy, tho, and being this winded can hurt that. 

 

still, I think we're better. 

 

First team to play D wins. 

[Huskerpapa]

Abysmal start...first 5 minutes was just stupid...otherwise we are okay.

[hskr4life]

Not gunna lie-- we look dead.  Gassed.  Like we ran a marathon right before the game.  Going to have to dig extra deep to get this one.

[Red Don]

From an early 15 point deficit (17-2) Huskers fight back to within 5 (41-36) at the Half!

Anybody's game! Who wants it More???

This isn't too bad given how wretched the start was. Take a breather, regroup mentally for some D, and take this damned game in the first 5-7 mins. 

 

Iowa can't be happy with only going in up by 5 after damn near knocking us out with a 17-2 lead. 

[REDZONEDAN]

Hopefully we’re saving all of our made 3’s for the 2nd half.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Ok. We settled in. JL gives us absolutely nothing. I will repeat, nothing that someone else can’t give us. I really hope he can break out of his funk.

Gary had 2 but also looked lackadaisical and he needs to set the tone. 

[cipsucks]

Iowa 41-36 at half.  They started the game up 17-2.  Sucks to be them.

That's our plan.  Instead of blowing a 15 point lead, we come back from a 15 point deficit.

Anyone else see this image when they look at Sandfort?

Which one?

[roscoe]

Thought we caught break when they didn't try to go 2 for 1 at end of half. Need to slow down a little and make them play some defense. 

[brfrad]

Need to keep attacking the rim.  (The refs have to start calling fouls on Iowa).  Also, need to get some stops.

He gives us better perimeter defense than anyone on the team outside of Sam

Eh. They don’t have classes right now and NBA guys play every other day. They should be fine.

Late foul call at our end, called at Iowa end (against us)
