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.

I would have liked to see Mitch get the ball on the postup after getting that block. He was calling for it hard. Might have been a little dribble-dribble-bam

Running late and driving listening to the game on the radio and hear it tied at 29. Run in, turn on the tv, and next thing you know we're up 18. Won't let it happen again guys.

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.
