Really the first half couldn't have gone much better for Iowa, but we're only down 7 so that's good news I guess. Just get the feeling its a game where we'll pull close but cant get over the hump, hope I'm wrong.

Not concerned, if Iowa regresses to the mean I think we run away. If they stay hot, oh well, tip your cap

I don't care that **** is god tier halftime show entertainment. Only thing better is the quick change couple.
That act could unite our country if she did that at 3pm daily in times square

At the game. This crowd is pathetic. It is insane how lethargic we look. The view from the stands is they have had several last second panic buckets that have gone down.
We don't remotely resemble ourselves in this game at this building.

At some point, we have to play to our strengths. Most of these guys aren't scholarship ISU bball players. Even the ones that would be would be end of rotation spot guys at most. Except for freeman.

Our guards are getting blown by which leads to open shots. Need to lock in
this is it. everyone is talking about Iowa's 3 point shooting, but it is their guards out quicking ours, it is opening things up for the Iowa offense. We look flat footed out there. Iowa is using a triangle defense on Gilbert, it has him flustered. Their strategy is to make everyone else beat them, but they are not going to let Keshon go off. So far it is working for them.

Agree that it usually is our first true road game. I don’t agree with Iowa playing their best now.

When have they generally played better under Fran? Maybe one conference game a season?

I just replayed that sequence and the score keeper was jacking around with the scoreboard and took a point away from us. It was never corrected.
Have to assume the official scorekeeper has it right don’t you think? So are we only down six?
