Holy crap we got a lead at half!

Good thing they don't give the 7 footer the ball every play.

Can we maintain the lead, or at least keep it close? Keep silly fouls and turnovers down because you can control those. Run Ben's game plan and pay close attention to detail.

This could very well all fall apart in the last 20 minutes ........

but using the formula of how the past two games went, Iowa will be in a great position to possibly steal one tonight.

IE, not getting 'blown out' in the first half and then coming back to make the result seem in doubt in the 2nd half.


Starting out the 2nd half tonight a lot closer on the scoreboard or possibly even, and who knows ...................?

Even better, starting the 2nd half with a small lead.


Cmon boys. This would not only be a Q1A win, a road win, but this would qualify as the "Signature Win" of the season. (and hopefully not the last on all 3!)

Iowa good half and a lot of energy. If they can keep it close would be great, but Purdue will be a different team in the second half IMO

Have to be ready for the Purdue run which is coming. Love that Stirtz went back in and was solid the rest of the half and didn't pick up another foul.

Didn't, but maybe should have.

NO IDEA how they didn't whistle his full body contact when he ran into Smith's back when he was deep in the paint, on a shot fake.

Great half. The run is coming, just limit the damage and go win this thing the last 5 mins

Shocked Iowa is leading. They don’t have enough offensive firepower to win. Purdue will assert themselves. But encouraging play so far.

So, you can draw the foul on the defender, even when your body hitting the defender forces the defenders body to almost crash because the offender's body check almost pushes the defenders legs out from under him.

Maybe Benny boy is finally waking up out of that coma he's been in for the couple of games ........
