It’s amazing we opted for some sort of line up that included 3 of meah, uhlis, hoiberg, Morgan, Jacobsen to end that 6-8 minutes in the first half and didn’t get boat raced….no shooters out there, no real offense being ran, and it somehow worked lol. How disengaged must Griffiths be at practice to not even see a minute at the end of that first half too….really feels like a swing and a miss with him unfortunately.

Looked pretty bad in real time…felt like when healthy they had alot of guys that could score the rock too

Form looked actually really good too…now if we could just get him to dive to the hoop on every pick and roll he could go back to playing 12-15 minutes a game

How the hell we ever gonna replace Williams next year? Dude may have changed the whole direction of this program

That glover from Ohio state made 2 of the dumber plays I’ve seen in awhile…fouls us 6 times coming down the court and the refs finally call the 6th one to put us in the bonus with about 12 minutes to go and then using the last timeout with 4ish minutes left. 2 just super dumb plays that helped swing the tide in our favor. Wooster although had some WTF moments his defense and efforts on the glass were BIG today. How longs Berke laid up? Is the short bench gonna come back to bite us in the ass?

Guessing his sense of worth will be down this go around as he’s the clear third big at UCLA now and aside from an injury or foul trouble he’s gonna play maybe 5 minutes a game the rest of the year. Also not sure if our situation next year would interest him at all with hopefully Berke and mast back. He would be an auto take for me as long as the NIL isn’t crazy still though

Just needs to be on the block more and at the 3 point line less….he tends to float out of position on pick and roles to unfortunately where as Morgan does a good job of finding the open space….atleast he roles though where as meah just kinda looks around on a roll

Drives me bonkers when we do this what seems like every possession when we have a size advantage in the games. It’s an okay to good change up here and there but it really got us in trouble in the first half I felt.

Not even as good, just be as engaged on defense as he is on offense but he seems out of place or late on things all the time for some reason. He looks to have plenty of athleticism and length to be average though atleast.

How far do we think a 7.5 man rotation will take us? Really wish some of Sam’s grittiness would rub off on essegian on defense, he has the length to be atleast an average defender he just doesn’t seem to have the will too a lot of the times.

Fair…maybe just listen to us on rotation decisions then

See what happens when hoiberg listens to this board? Outscored them by 24 in the second half lol

For the love of god make osobar pull up once he puts it on the ground….

Maybe don’t play meah in a game where we probably have to score 80+ to win….

Agreed but 10 of those were between hoiberg and Berke with what seemed like all of them wide open looks so idk how you don’t take those….and I’m not for sure who else could be taking them for that matter

What this team woulda been with a 4 that could shoot and another shooting guard

Really cool letting Claude get into the paint every single possession….great coaching adjustments made there

Serah Williams has that Angel Reese vibe going on…..shoots a lot and misses a lot! Would guess she makes a nice little pay day in the portal this spring. a come from behind win vs the ditch chickens followed by a beat down of the ditch Weasel’s not a bad 2 game stretch. what a get Prince was for AW, has the potential to take us from a mid Big ten squad to a top 5 conference team the next 3.5 years…..Petries development has been so impressive too has kept the offensive skill she showed at times last year and has really held her own on defense

Hopefully hit some shots early and keep their post from being much of a factor tonight

Be so great if Iowa becomes a no name big ten program a year after Clark leaves lol

When you don’t do the little things well you lose to beatable Iowa on the road and Rutgers at home. Not sure if we turn this thing around or not, if defense is gonna be a question mark might have to Get GG back in the rotation for some more floor spacing on offense atleast

Gonna need hake to bounce back after this couple game funk she’s been in. petrie has done a hell of a job development on the potential she had last year and trying to fill that void left by Potts these last 10 games. nice to see nissley see the ball go through the hoop a few times tonight too.

Feels like we somehow had the better coach in OT. should send iowas coach a thank you for sitting steulke for most of OT.

Jesus rimdal…

Gotta make some outside shots to come away with a win tonight
