Time per possession extremely low on both hands. A shootout of a lot of misses so far

I wish they kept Nance in while he's hot.
Agree, why do you take a guy out who has all 8 of our points? He was putting pressure on Garza outside and I just wonder why we don’t keep doing that until they stop it.

Of course Young came in with a nice drive to the basket and drew a Garza foul. I think we need to keep throwing people at Garza but think we should’ve let Nance keep after him. No one likes to have his man scoring all the points...

You get the feeling we are not paying bad defense and, yet, 26 points allowed through the 1st quarter

Some big time road officiating going on right now!

Cats playing some sloppy ball. Travels? Double dribbles? Rebounds bouncing off Cat hands for an easy Hawkeye basket. Hawks getting some favorable calls.

And still we’re only down 6.

Greer/Buie/Gaines at the same time on the floor makes for a pretty funky lineup

Hawks hitting a lot of shots. Cats guards need to pick up their shooting.

Mr. Nance isn’t playing around tonight. If he can bring this intensity every game, look out...

The good news: Nance is playing out of his mind. Just terrific.

The bad news: Pretty much everyone else is sloppy as hell.

Man if only these announcers could talk more about Michigan state and how crazy it is they are 0-3!

Cats gotta commit to rebounding the basketball, box out and crash the boards. The second chance points is the difference in this game right now.

We started with very strong D, only allowing a single shot...that’s gotten away from us in a big way. We get that back and we get back in the game.

The turnovers hurt us, but Nance and some timely 3s are keeping us in it. C’mon Cats! 4-0 is within reach.

Yup. We’re shooting 50% but we have 9 turnovers. All things considered, that’s about 6 points right there. These guys need to calm down and make good plays.
