UNI vs. Iowa game thread

[Blue42]

The second half was pure guts and huge kahonas by the Panthers.

The were clearly gassed with 8 minutes to go but kept fighting like they were on a mission.

Un-fricken-real.

Panthers = Amazing.

Only if Iowa starts playing better.

Good chance that Iowa will improve as the season progresses, have a halfway decent conference season and place well in the B10 tourney and end up in the NCAA tourney, losing in the first round.

regardless, it is a good win.

Steve Alford = Fired.

iowa has a lot of inexperience, they will improve but the question is how much

Random observations-

- Coleman stepped it up to another level in the second half.
- UNI outhustled Iowa
- Josten's defense- beautiful
- Those deep passes keeping Iowa off balance
- Gorney airball at end of game
- Jordan's transition hustle basket, great to see (and three big blocks)
- Fans- several times UNI fines were louder than Iowa's- just awesome

...Any others?

Great win

Your Panthers played great down the stretch. Props from the Shox.

Another observation...We have got to make the three's. Travo's three changed the momentum of that entire game...It's got to happen more!!!

uni really stepped it up with 5 minutes to go, iowa looked like they wanted it more until then and they were playing with more hustle and enthusiasm till then in my opinion but coleman did what he had to do and uni found ways to make baskets to keep themselves only ten down and within striking distance

My sentiments exactly

Good to play the Hawks early in the season.

In case people haven't noticed I'm pretty biassed as a hawk hater but if they can have more defensive efforts like they did tonight they will stay in a lot of games. And for our benefit hopefully win a lot of them.

How about Stout going to the floor fighting for that last ball with 10 seconds left. He was running on empty on that point but still fighting hard.

The pass by Coleman to Brown was sweet. Great shot by Brown getting that over the taller defender at a crucial time.

I almost passed out when Brooks missed those free throws. I thought the game was over when he got fouled.

Josten played an awesome game. It's one thing to do that for 10 minutes, another to do it for an entire game.

Brown gave a very good effort against Tyler Smith also. I think this was a big game for him. He had his coming out party against Bucknell last year. He went to the next level tonight. Hard physical defense. Clutch baskets.

We couldn't have played much worse for 30 minutes of the game. To win on the road after that first half is quite an achievement for the players and the coaches. That's one to be proud of. Playing poorly and finding a way to win on the road in college hoops is so tough.

The game was fantastic. There is no reason that we cannot score around 70 pts a game, if we want to play that style of ball. We scored almost 40 pts in the second half alone and we didnt shoot that well for the night. I thought Coleman played a hell of a game and was a man amongst boys tonight. I also thought that Stout came up with some key buckets in the second half and had a pretty good second half. You can still tell he's not totally himself, but overall it was a huge win for UNI, great job men.
