Nebraska (12-2) vs. Iowa (10-4) Game Thread

[Huskerpapa]

Our defensive intensity stunk...then EssegianMorganHoibergGary happened

[hskr4life]

Extending while Bryce is out is a huge positive 

[Silverbacked1]

Gosh they just made me look pretty smart.  
 

and Rollie is beat that little 3 grader to school right now.

 

now put this out of reach, heel on neck

[Vinny]

Rollie picking it up for Brice on the offense. Gary getting boards. Morgan hitting shots. Let’s keep it up.

[Huskerpapa]

That should be flagrant 

[hhcscott]

Can Sam play cornerback next fall? Dude is a takeaway machine

[Silverbacked1]

I am sorry but this is as a bad a Fran coached Iowa team I have ever seen

 

Well not sorry

Damn. Two quick TOs for Cale.

[Huskerpapa]

Can't miss free throws and bunnies.  Then Cale two straight turnovers.  We pissed the last minute right down our leg.

[hskr4life]

Two bad turnovers 

[Vinny]

Funny going offense/defense with Brice there at the end considering his two fouls were both at that end. 

[Bugeaters1]

Well, maybe the whistle will be on our side the in the 2nd half.

 

[Huskerpapa]

Man, that last minute was a debacle

Yeah and then failed to close out on D.  I like giving him minutes but he killed us at the end of the half tonight

[LNKtrnsplnt]

Brutal end. Could’ve pushed that lead to double digits yet we find only find ourselves up 3. 

[Bugeaters1]

Do we have the possession arrow to start the 2nd half?

 

[Bugeaters1]

I'm guessing the fouls will go against us the in the 2nd half.

Bad news: End of half sucked

 

Good news: We are the better team. If we play well in the second half we will win 

[Keenan9595]

We need to focus on defending the 3 better, that’s all Iowa has.  Also, I know it’s a Tuesday night but is there even 1000 people there?  Good lord.  

[brfrad]

For as poorly as we started defensively,  to hold them to 31 points is really impressive.   The bad part is Iowa is not good defensively and we only have 34 points.

They are making Penn State fans look good.  Is it the Iowa team not being a good team or are the fans starting to sour on McCaffrey?

Yes- I believe this is all correct. Just judging by their message board posts

I’m guessing they are assuming he’ll be gone soon since he sent his sons away.

Let’s not discount self loathing for being a Hawkeye fan just hitting a bunch of them all at once 

[hskr4life]

Key to the 2nd half

 

1. Lock down on D.

2. Easy baskets

3. Conner gets out of his funk

4. Sam H makes a big play or two
