Man that was a brick by Gary.

Yeah, our defense is getting a bit lost right now. Wonder why we are hedging so aggressively against a supposed weak shooting team?

I agree. Not sure if I am being scolded or not. I still think there was a rather stark difference between game threads at that moment in time; and that struck me funny

There are 362 D-I men's college hoops teams. 336 have played at least one Quad 1 game. Only 19 teams have 3+ Quad 1 wins. Four of those 19 teams are in the Big Ten: Purdue,6-2 Q1 Wisconsin, 4-3 Q1 Nebraska, 3-3 Q1 Northwestern, 3-3 Q1 Resume builders.

I sort of laughed when I read the Rutgers game thread. I don't know why, but they only talk about basketball stuff. If they reciprocate and read our thread, we confuse them by posting mostly song videos

Well...crap.

Us 79 Them 71 Very disappointed with how we played against Iowa; but I trust things will be "fixed" for this outing.

It is brutal outside. Stay warm and stay safe!

Yes, it was bad from the get go. Coming off the high that was the Purdue game, to endure a sloppy performance, such as this was, was absolutely disheartening. The lack of full effort was obvious. The excuse that we were tired, or there was a letdown, is just that, excuses. Good teams are prepared to play game after game. That is what makes them champions. I know the players and staff are disappointed; but if you are prepared, then disappointment becomes unnecessary. The offense was good when we had movement. We got to the basket; but the number of missed bunnies was/is unacceptable at this level. The bricks being thrown from the outside should have been a hint that we should limit the numbers shot (despite that many of them were wide open looks) instead we kept launching them. SAD. Defefensively, we simply sucked. We had instances where we were caught looking away from our assignment and a clean shot was provided. Their entire team looked like All-American players, rather than the average players that they are. Yes, they hit their shots; but it is made easier when you are wide open. Josiah played well. Kudos to him. Offensively, Eli played well. Mast was okay, everyone else...not so much. Okay, I vented. We now move on.

I agree with him; we have a lot of things to work on. Number 1 is consistent effort and number 2 may be judgment.

No excuses. We should have won that game. Simply play average, and you win. We didn't defend, we threw up bricks instead of moving the ball, and we looked like we went out and partied all night and then rolled out of bed to play. Totally unacceptable.

Hey, let's give up 100. Yeah, that's the ticket

Defense is supposed to travel...ours got lost somewhere around Des Moines.

Just a pathetic effort.

A lot of teams face this type of schedule. You have to fight through and find a way to win. That is the difference between a champion and the also rans.

Can't handle prosperity. This is depressing.

Yeah...

Once again, we have decided to fall asleep and simply give a very winnable game away. Hey let's throw another brick. That's the trick. As great as we played against Purdue, we are playing the exact opposite against a poor team.

Williams (and many others) are simply tossing bricks at the basket.

Lord, we should be able to dice and slice their zone. Come on men, go on a run.

Our defense is struggling

Lawrence sort of looks lost

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

My gawd, we are getting a bunch of shrapnel from these Iowa political caucus ads.

Wow...that was a flurry. Okay, we got our poop back in a group now.
