Badgers up 27-26 at the break. Ugly offensive game. Iowa 1/11 from 3 and UW 1/7 (where is that Iowa 3 pt % when we play them????).

Iowa following up on an ugly road performance at NW with another ugly offensive half. Big game for UW’s NCAA hopes.

Fran agitated at times, but no technicals or ejections (yet).

Iowa just missing wide open 3's over and over and over
There's honestly got to be something there. Just pure confidence given in previous performance?
We need to break this thing. Do we not mess with teams playing music pre game anymore? Big bad conference put a stop to it?

We need an Iowa strategy to deal with Fran and co.

2-22 from 3. And like you said, A LOT of them are wide open.
2-25 now. Most teams usually get a decent number of open looks from three in any game, but sometimes it's just the luck of the draw on how many fall. Sure they lit it up against us twice and many were wide open, but it's not like our D was way worse than WI's tonight, where Iowa has also had a ton of open looks.

3-28 with a late 3 to bring them into double figures for percentage at 10.7%

Big win for Wisconsin and their tournament hopes

Why can't Iowa ever play like this against us?
Because unlike other teams , the Geo, Harper, Caleb , Myles and Montes teams gave them some of the tougher games they played when they were ranked higher. And they finally respected us and it is obvious they get up for our games like their rivals , Iowa State , and their Michigan and Michigan State and Illinois games. It is actually a sign of respect but to our detriment thru bring their A+ game and home or away they shoot like they do at home. Kinda amazing they were 3-28 tonight and I think 2-17 last game. I saw at least 5-6 that were wide open , including 3 from Murray, and I only watched the second half. It sucks as I really do hate them as a rival.

I’ve seen Iowa players snapping at each other a few times tonight. Two bad performances in a row for them. Would not hate a late season Hawkeye implosion.
Look at Fran’s history going back since when he started at Iowa. Wouldn’t be the first.

Why can’t Iowa ever shoot like this against us?
Some fans on the Iowa board are pointing at the ball used at Northwestern and Wisconsin as part of the problem. I think we had fans talking about the same issue for us a couple years ago. Who knows how real that is, or if it's getting into the players' heads?

They shot 6-27 against us just last year. Even in the Big 10 tournament against us they were a pedestrian 7-22 (31.8%). Keegan just torched us inside the arc that day.
