I think it will be football season all year long this year...

We might keep the football game next year closer than this one was tonight.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Good call...I think our actual football team could have kept it closer tonight.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

I guess the silver lining in the cloud is that like the ISU game, we played a pretty good first half. Gotta figure out how to stretch that to a full game.

But yeah, Iowa is hardly a basketball powerhouse. 6, maybe 7 wins in conference, I'd guess.

It might be easier to try to figure out how to get the other team to agree to only play half games.

Really? This is what it's come to? I hate to say this, but we need to play our experienced players more. The new guys are throwing up prayers. That won't help our cause, but maybe some time on the bench will teach them not to loft 30 ft's.

Iowa will finish slightly ahead of Indiana in the B10, but that's it. 4 wins in conference, tops. And apparently we can't play with them. Pretty sad actually.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

The sad part of all this is I don't think Jake is to blame for all of this. Ali's shot selection is horrible, Jordan is not tough enough inside and when he actually gets the ball he bobbles it, Moran is not making good decisions and we lack a tough player that will actually hustle for loose balls (like Coleman, when he felt like it).

Jake does need to work on his halftime adjustments, we seem to get absolutely killed in the start of the 2nd half.

End of rant.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

iowa won 6 big ten games last year and they are twice as talented this year. UNI was on the road against an 8-2 team with a win over a decent KSU team who had a shot to win at BC. i know a lot of people here expected a panther win, but i wasnt one of them.

at this time last year, jr angle...I REPEAT, JR ANGLE....was starting for iowa.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

Ali is not a Division I player. He cannot shoot consistently, can't play the point, doesn't defend very well, and is too short to be in a 3 guard lineup. Jordan has the potential to be a once in a lifetime talent and he is being wasted by this coaching staff. I know he has some weaknesses in his game but he's 7' 1" with soft hands and a good shooter. In his third year in the program, I don't see the refinement that you should.

Re: VS Iowa game Thread

It may not be all Jake's fault, but when we run the same tired high post play 50% of the time down the floor, it seems to me that the other team will catch on. If Jake has such a deep playbook, why is he not throwing some wrinkles out there?

I would have been disappointed with a +/- 5 point loss, but could have lived with it like the ISU game...this was an embarrassment and deflates the balloon a lot. Iowa is a mediocre team (probably on the rise) that will play this year like I had once hoped UNI would: Win some you thought you would lose, but probably lose a couple you should have won...finish about .500 in conference. I think this year will be a hope and a prayer for UNI, unfortunately.
