Tough road wins are very hard to come by....stringing together 3 and 4 game win streaks is something we just haven't done in the past 5-6 years. I'd love to see us get on a little roll. We all want to get into the top 25 and I'm sure we can...but if we want to be a STAPLE in the top 25 we have to win consistently to stay up there. Not been able to do that much over the years. Winning tonight will be damn impressive. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Hoopsier Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Hear me out here, Statistics thought, not ideology thinking. The last thing Iowa expects from us to to go wide freakin open, balls out. They probably have been/ are preparing for our stifling defense. What if we prepare to push it UNLV Tark the Shark style?

F ESPN I am no fan of ESPN, but I can't fault them for those odds. IU needs to show they can win on the road in the Big Ten. I am cautiously optimistic the Hoosiers will do just that this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa 81 IU 69 I get the skepticism, but if we lose like this is would be incredibly disappointing. That would be a massive step backwards to lose by double digits, road or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most B1G teams can keep the other team from running and force them to play half court. Iowa does not have a good defense, but still Fran knows how to prevent another team from running. This doesn't mean it won't happen, but they will be prepared to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think the team is starting to gel. A win over ranked Ohio St, followed up with a double digit win against Minny. I think they get this win. 65 to 62 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see a pattern of underperforming on the road and as of yet, they haven't broken that pattern this year. I am in a cross between the same boat and hoping that the LLN kicks in at some point (i.e., we win a close game on the road). The facts are we have (mod COVID concerns) 8 conference road games remaining. To feel comfortable, we probably want 3 wins in those 8 games. We are 0 for 2 on winnable road games. The Iowa game is not one I would necessarily say we should win, but it definitely is one we could win and at some point we need to win road games that we could win.

I still want to eventually take her to a game at SSAH... I would say there are a 1000+ plus there. Iowa support their sports pretty well. And Carver can get really loud with how its built. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 The more I look at this there is no way Filip Rebraca can handle Trayce. Rebraca is kinda a less physical Joey Brunk with a better outside offensive game. I think the double teams on Trayce will come from Toussaint (guarding XJ) or McCaffery (guarding Kopp). Toussaint is very good at digging if the ball is held down low, or Trayce tries to put it on the floor. McCaffery has size. Although overall I don't think Iowa is a good defensive team, they are 2nd in the conference at forcing turnovers. I still think it comes down to Race's D on Keegan Murray...If we can make him work and keep him shooting below 40%, I think we have a good chance here...
