Dismal in Indiana

First, Cordell Pemsl was suspended for a game: Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball
Second, CJ Frederick injured his body during the game.
Third, there was no answer for a dude coming off the bench and nailing 4 x 3 point shots.


The next game is against MN on Sunday in the Twin Cities. The team needs a W.

Some IA Hawks

Iowa Falls to MSU Last Night

Well. The stats don't lie. If you score 32 points in the first half and the other team scores 51 points, you're not going to win.

You're just NOT going to win games when you shoot 38.6% and the other team shoots 52%.

Iowa took 19 more shots than MSU. If 10 of those go in, that's 20 points . . . and a victory.

Iowa took 24 3 point shots and only 5 went in. If 7 more go in - to put them at 50%, which is greater than MSU's 3 point shot percentage, that's 21 points . . . and a victory.

Here are some more stats.

Iowa goes up to the Twin Cities next to play Minnesota in a very tough environment. There are a total of 11 games remaining. Iowa is 16 - 4 overall & 5 - 4 in the Big Ten. They need to stay above 50% in the Big Ten. Here are there remaining games over the next 45 days.
  1. 1/27 At MN
  2. MI
  3. At IN
  4. NW
  5. at Rutgers
  6. MD
  7. IN
  8. At OSU
  9. Rutgers
  10. At WI
  11. At NE
Then they hit the Big Ten Tournament on 3/13. A lot of basketball in those 11 games. Iowa needs to focus on playing 440 minutes of tough basketball. It can't be 400 minutes, 380 minutes or even 360 minutes - they must play their best basketball game every minute of every game. They can make mistakes on the court, but they cannot allow those mistakes to define their season.

I hope they finish strong.
