Open Thread: M Basketball vs Iowa at home
Game at Noon eastern/ 11 Central. Some Iowa fans smell an upset. I think they will be upset after we win. Go Blue!

Did he do his scary dance? I dont know about you but when he does his scary dance it's a wonder the other team has the courage to even show up on the field. It's so scary.

I'm reading these comments and quite frankly, some are pathetic. As much as we may want, we're not going to play perfect every game...and every game isn't going to be Northwestern.
With that said, I thought this was one of the best half we've played all season. The only problem I had with the NW game was that it was easy...too easy. Afterwards I was praying that it didn't go to our heads. Iowa came out and hit us in the mouth, and we needed that. Someone who was going to be physical, throw a press at us, make shots...make us work.
I can't be happier in how our guys responded. As many of you know, I pay attention to our subs/rotations and I think the best thing we did all half was take Hardaway out after some sloppy play early. When he came back in, he was re-focused and it was a COMPLETELY different ball game.
If we play the way we did at the end of that half, there isn't a team in the country that can beat us. When you see Tim clapping and going nuts - we need that, we need him to play THAT hard. Burke too.
I think that was a GREAT half, perfect leading into the rest of the B1G season.

Is that his first dunk this year? Nice
January 6th, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
Yes I think so. He had 1 other but it was more of a "throw in" than a dunk. What he just did was a legit dunk.

everyone lighting it up now
January 6th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
It's the energy...
We just have too many guys that "go." Guys that just want it.
I really haven't seen this out of any team - ever.
They feed off each other so well and they come at you in so many different ways. It's fun to watch.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
I love this team.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
January 6th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
Is one of the top 3 offensive players in the B1G.
The other two play on his team.

LOL -- man, nice skillz by Arctic Lightning (trademark pending)
January 6th, 2013 at 1:10 PM ^
I love this team.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
Another rejection!
January 6th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
Where's the threat from Iowa?
January 6th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
January 6th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
Punch him in the nose and give him a fresh cut -- good to go.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
January 6th, 2013 at 1:13 PM ^
I'm really digging his development, thank you coach B
and
How about Trey, he makes layups as well as anyone I've ever seen, that boy is a monster
January 6th, 2013 at 1:14 PM ^
Burke is our worst shooter at 50% today :)
January 6th, 2013 at 1:14 PM ^

GRIII was going to put that one on someones head.

January 6th, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
we've outscored them 58-33 after the start. Exceptionally efficient offense today, against a team that I think could be on the bubble at the end. If McGary can continue to develop along the lines he's shown today, yet another potent weapon in a pretty scary arsenal. McGary playing with confidence I just have not seen to date.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
Getting a little sloppy now on both sides
January 6th, 2013 at 1:15 PM ^
Revenge is a dish served cold...and with a ball to the chops!
January 6th, 2013 at 1:16 PM ^
Stauskas is killing his percentage the last two games.
January 6th, 2013 at 1:19 PM ^
I love that this is our biggest problem
January 6th, 2013 at 1:17 PM ^
Little Big Dog SLAM!
