I didn't realize this, but Grill is 14/30 from 3 on the year. We need more attempts from him and fewer from Gabe.

I expect a 3 or two from him.

The 'blow the roof off' type of hits.

Why was Iowa a five point favorite to win this game?

Because, algorithms, numbers, sabre metrics & go get more people to bet on the game. Some combination of that I think

 

[CapnCy]

Great job! Held pre half, too and settled in (less mistakes)

Elite defense

Iowa will have a run or two...we need to be smart, make FTs, and keep locking down

And as Fran hinted, Hoiberg should have had TJ teach some.D!

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Losing Garza has gutted iowa so bad

 

[mynameisjonas]

Defense is amazing.

 

[JM4CY]

I pray the spirit of Saint Georges himself, please god let us not let up. Please intervene and help us squash the esophagus’ of these yellow chickens and not let up for a second. In Montes name I pray, amen.

 

[Lineup]

damn I love the defense just plain tough this wins games

 

[ISU_Guy]

i saw at least 2 missed opportunities to get Grill some looks. we need to be better at that. especially if others are struggling

3

only 6 or 7 so far.

Easy to get the FranCon mixed up. Fran does that to people.

Opposite of burns: 3rd degree is worst. 1st degree less severe.
Edit: Fixed.

That rebounding number is obscene. I am going with a rating of

 

[ISU22CY]

TJ have full trust in you that you are ripping them apart of the dumb turnovers and will not let them take their foots off their throats

 

[RezClone]

Maybe he just thinks he is outmatched?

He usually his and they have only been down at half like this once (See Georges kiss). He's going FranCon PANIC soon. BET!

 

[barometriclow]

Did Brockington play all 20 minutes? Just hope we have enough gas in the tank.

 

[khardbored]

They don't make those anymore

Maybe Fran got a large stash back in the 70's????

It'll happen. He needs to keep Bobo off the ball.

HALFTIME STATS

 

[CentexCyclone]

Hard to watch the Cyclone offense at times, but their defensive intensity is turned up to 11 the last 10 min of the half. And that 28-10 rebounding edge! Taking the little hokeyes to the woodshed.

Gotta' prepare for better hokeye offense in 2nd half. JOrboooooo missed significant minutes with 2 fouls and Murray's not going to go scoreless the whole game.

If Clones can lay off stupid fouls and turnovers, get Brockington and Kalscher running down hill to the basket, they'll be in great shape in the 2nd half.
