Nebraska vs. Iowa Basketball Game Thread

[SomedayHusker]

Iowa does not turn the ball over, they also don’t force turnovers. Their offense is better than their defense. I could see us matching up ok with them as long as we can hit shots. 7-0 Red guys so far 3 minutes into the game. Frantic Fran already T’d up...

Iowa 10-4, just fell out of the top 25 after a neutral floor loss to Penn State

 

[schuele]

Good start for NU, and Fran already has a T.

By the way, how did Nebraska do against Rutgers on Friday? Can someone start/bump a couple more threads on that game?

Just one thread is enough. Back to back great plays by Easley and Thor...then another rebound by Thor.

Iowa just looks very off. Both squads Getting good looks, Nebraska hitting a few more. If Mack can stay hot we’re good. I figured we would see a fairly clean game turnover-wise.

Hawkeyes look horrible so far. That probably won't last. They're on pace to score about 22 by half time.

I’m honestly baffled at how off Iowa is shooting...you can tell right when they release wing shots lined up with the camera, that they’re wayyyyy off. You almost have to try to be that off.

Bohanon was their only consistent outside threat Their other guards are pretty streaky.

 

[dinglefritz]

holy cow Thor with the DEEP 3.

 

[dinglefritz]

Iowa's taking it inside finally. Took them way longer to figure that out than I thought it would have.

 

[Biff Loman]

Looks like Iowa found the gas pedal.

Huskers need to pressure the entry passes more aggressively. If they let Garza get the ball easily, he will clean up. Garza has made himself into a really good player.

Agreed. Garza should be able to tool a 17 year old all game. We tend to start off games well when we double team their stud and then inexplicably go away from it...

 

[Hoosker Du]

We've won 3 of the last 5, and Fred is 4-1 against Fran. Iowa had better get us tonight, because we are going to be much better next year and beyond.

wrong Weiscamp is off his game tonight...

 

[9and4]

Kriener, Pemsl and Garza should own the second half against our teenage mutants. Wieskamp will heat up. Go Big Red, but I've been a Nebrasketball fan since 1969, so I don't expect this to end well. (I also watched the Riverside, Southern Utah and North Dakota games.)

Where is Green? Wonder if there are problems there still....

Why he is the cancer on the team..

 

[schuele]

Iowa bigs need to keep jacking those threes.

Only plays hard at one end of the court

Takes after his dad.

I actually kind of like Fran, but Connor is a petulant whiner. Second only to Brad Davison in crying to officials.

White Magic

 

[schuele]

Hawkeyes have gone ice cold from the outside. Huskers need to prevent second chance points.

 

[Lincoln100]

Holy shit Thor

 

[schuele]

Knock down the FTs and this is a W.

 

[schuele]

Thor is Iowa’s best player

He’s had a pretty good game actually, but a couple of bad late turnovers.

 

[SomedayHusker]

BURKE! Screw the free throws! Throw it down with the And-1! Gotta stop letting them score layups every 4 seconds...

 

[HuskersNC]

haha Iuck Fowa

Wait that looks stupid. Like Iowa.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Thor is Iowa’s best player

How so?

 

[GretnaShawn]

Thor has come a long way since last season.

dude obviously hasn’t been watching the game..we would be losing this game if his replacement were on the floor

 

[schuele]

Agree. He’s a good fit for this team. They have enough street ballers and need a guy with experience and a good BB IQ.

 

[Lincoln100]

Nice D

 

[SomedayHusker]

Nice D

Thanks, I just had it stuffed.

 

[Hoosker Du]

4 out of 6, Iowa! Fred now 5-1 vs Fran! Iowa led for an entire 38 seconds tonight.

 

[Biff Loman]

Three iowa starters not playing, Congrats

 

[Hastings4Huskers]

Hey IOWA..... Just in case you didnt notice Hoiberg is back.
