Always enjoy watching Iowa lose.  And when they blow a 17 point second half lead it is even better.  Huge game coming up in Bloomington for the Huskers.

I was watching it and Iowa was ahead about 12-13 at end of 3rd.  Then I had to leave. What happened to Indiana in 4th qtr.?

 

Indiana didn't look to good most of what I saw.

 

Indiana started attacking the rim.  Made a zillion layups.  Also shot it well from outside.  Neither team got many stops, but the Hoosiers got enough to take the lead with a few minutes left.  Then it was back and forth to the end, with both teams being very efficient on offense.   Cahill fouled out with 3:42 left or something close to that, which makes the  win even more remarkable.  Disterhoff missed a free throw and Jennings traveled, which helped Indiana prevail.

it was practically indiana's version of jekyl and hide. i started watching near the end of the first quarter and, geez, indiana looked like they had never played together before. ball handling was a mess. in the 3rd and 4th quarters, indiana started hitting some 3's and buss was driving to the rim.

 

good possibility iowa just opened the exit door from the ncaa's------i don't think they can absorb another loss, and, they have OSU and MSU coming up. iowa most likely needs a lot of help.

 

can't remember where i read it, but, one big ten coach thinks they will get 6 in, but, someone else stated 5 (it may have been charlie creme in one of his interviews). if you want to rest easy, i would say finish in that top 5.

We still have a lot of work to do.  Looking at the schedule, it won't be easy getting 5 wins, which is what I think we'll need.  My guess is we need to win a couple in the tournament.  A win sunday would be HUGE.

believe i stated in another post matt coatney stated need to get to 11 wins to be in a safe zone (paraphrasing). indiana another big game with minnesota looming (@minny). gotta win at least one. minny is my surprise team of the big ten. they have a brutal finish (@MSU vs OSU, @Maryland), but, doing everything right so far to keep in the race (beating Rutgers last night). i know it's all "water under the bridge", but, if AZB hadn't turned pro, i am really starting to think they would have been in the 6-12 range in the polls.

Not a scientific analysis for sure....We're tied with Purdue & Minn with 7 wins.

 

...but looking at our schedule, and Purdue, and Minn's. It appears that Minn has the toughest schedule, with the top 3 teams in the league yet  to play.  Purdue's schedule appears to be the easiest. 

 

We have yet to play Mich St and Ohio St. I watched OSU play ILL a week or so ago, and was surprised to see IL giving OSU all they could handle. 

 

We go head to head with Minn. and Purdue soon. Obviously key games.

 

Indiana is right behind us..we play them twice on the remaining schedule.  

 

Then the B1G tourney factor can affect everything going into the NCAA's.

 

It's up to us. We're in the thick of it. So it's there to achieve.  :o  Sure wish we had everyone back at full strength.

 

But this whole thing is so tight, it will be week to week before it's all said and done.
