There is absolutely no reason we should lose another game until 2010!!!!!

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

This game scares me a ton. Iowa struggles most against teams with great athleticism. Probably not our strength. If we don't play great defense, Iowa will get open looks, and chances are they will make plenty of them.

We have to get the ball to Koch and JE early and often, and good looks from the outside will follow.

What about them scares you? UNI is better at every position.

Wait til Devin Bullwinkle is in and then it's a 5 on 4 game. He literally just stands in the corner waiting to chuck a 3. IIRC, Bawinkle is 200+ minutes ahead of the next NCAA player for the longest minute streak without attempting a free throw.

For starters, they have found a way to beat us the last two years with fairly similar talent for both teams.

This team can lull you to sleep, and if they keep the game close, they are dangerous. People mentioned this in an earlier thread, but its hard to imagine UNI blowing out just about anyone. It's just not our style.

Additionally, over the last couple of years we have tended to have our most disappointing performances on our home court. I like our chances in this game, but I am not in the group that thinks its going to be a cakewalk either.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

Iowa always seems to slip into unconsciousness from 3 when playing UNI...that is what scares me. As long as UNI doesn't feel pressured to equal them in attempts from 3 and pounds it low to JE and uses the dribble drive like they did last night I think a win is more than reasonable. If Iowa does shoot lights out from 3 and UNI changes their game to try to match, I don't like it at all.

I disagree. Three of the most talented players on Iowa's squad bolted before the year started - I think UNI is much, much more talented.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

the only iowa player that presents a problem for UNI is gatens because he is willing to mix it up down low. someone is going to have a size disadvantage unless Kerwin is in the game. otherwise, UNI has a major advantage in every matchup. iowa is certainly playing better lately but i just dont see them having a chance. iowa has a tendency to loaf on defense, partially because they only play 7 guys, so i expect to see UNI run a little more this game and leverage their depth. i loved last nights gameplan when he got the subs early PT to see who was comfortable and then whittled down to an 8-man rotation by crunch time. it was perfect.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

Dispite a big win in Ames last nite...this game will again as in years past decide attendance figures for the rest of the season. Here's to a big win and keeping the charge going!

Me too. Especially if they are playing in suits and ties.

I'll take Gatens over Moran. Other than that, I agree UNI is better at every position. Kwadzo and Cully will be an intriguing matchup at point. Cully is quite good.

It's doable, but not a given. Siena will be tough with its athleticism and I'm sure Creighton will be geared for the league opener in Omaha at the end of the month.

Well done.

I hope Moran can shake out of his shooting slump soon. We will be a much bigger threat with him back in form.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

Do you know Big E destroyed Cougill in the PTL? Good luck Brennan you will need it. Maybe your buddy bawinkle can double down and help you out. Yeah right!
