Holy **** what a dunk

We can put them in serious trouble in these next 2 or 3 minutes. Don't let them back in it.

The fans must take after their head coach.

It's hard to believe Hayes and Koenig are only sophomores sometimes

Turk Nowitzki · Post #365 » by **Turk Nowitzki** » Sat Jan 31, 2015 6:35 pm

Probably going to be ok but annoyed that we're letting them hang around a bit here. Feels like we're begging them to hit a couple 3's and make this a close game in the last minute.

We played well enough to win but Iowa really came up small today. Feels like we are completely in their heads.

They don't have very many possessions per game (i.e. they play very deliberately).

other than Dukan's brutal offensive attempts, they played a good game today.

They're still a top 25 team without him regardless of what happened at Rutgers.

They also don't give up many free throw attempts to their opponents.

How is Indiana ranked? Started paying attention to them the last few weeks and they are not that impressivE.

True. And they give up very few offensive rebounds to the opponent. No second chances.

2 somewhat tough games in the next 4 (I realize they should be heavily favored at home vs. Indiana but still tough). Win the next 4 or even 3 of 4 and Jackson may be coming back to integrate himself for the tougher home stretch.

When jackson gets back, does he come of the bench until he eases into the starting lineup or does koenig keep the starting spot going forward? i love koenig as the starting PG because he can hit the 3 much more consistently and doesnt dribble off of his feet.

I suspect that Jackson will start but probably play more limited minutes, at least initially.

I've been looking forward to tonight's game. IU presents some matchup problems for us, but they don't have anyone to guard Kaminsky either.

neiLz · Post #377 » by **neiLz** » Tue Feb 3, 2015 7:28 pm

I think its a fairly competitive game until late. I think the badgers size wears them down in the end... IU i think only starts one guy over 6'7. they will have zero answers for kaminsky and the rebounding game. IU will have to shoot duke like in order to win this game.

Post #378 » by **ReasonablySober** » Wed Feb 4, 2015 12:43 am

Amazing the Badgers are winning by eight when IU is shooting the way they have been from outside. Game is flying by.

trwi7 · Post #379 » by **trwi7** » Wed Feb 4, 2015 12:45 am

Neither Kaminsky or Hayes have missed a shot. 10-10 shooting, 1-1 on 3s, 4-4 FTs, 25 points.

Love watchin BK when that 3 is dropping. I think he's gonna be a solid player in the league eventually.
