Iowa played the first meeting without their best player.
Bucky with some really bad turnovers.
4 turnovers, already.
Crowl gets an offensive foul. His 2nd foul in about 5 minutes of play.
Brutal so far. At least Wahl made a bucket, he needs to be better
If Crowl is going to get called for an offensive foul on that we all might as well watch reruns of βThe Officeβ tonight
Wahl looking good tonight.
Is Connor McCafferty the 2nd coming of Jason Bohanan as a 7th year senior? His younger brother might leave Iowa before he does.
Hepburn starting to heat up on back to back possessions.
They have another bro who is a soph in HS who looks to be a player.
26-27 Bucky, at the half. 8 turnovers committed by Bucky, which led to 11 points for Iowa.
Patrick McCaffery came out as a 4 star.
Badgers shooting 52% and IA 31% and still just a one point lead. Badger TOs and 5 offensive rebounds keeping IA in the game. I doubt IA continues at 31% so the Badgers are going to have to pick it up in the 2nd half. No scoring droughts!
Hopefully Crowl will be able to play more than three minutes in the second half. Of course, Iowa can say the same about Murray.
They have been pretty effective with hepburn driving the lane and yet they keep hoisting 3's.
Connor Essegian ties Brad Davison for most made 3s, in a season, by a Freshman. 60.
Another weird offensive foul on Crowl!
It won't be a Wisconsin/Iowa game without a meltdown by Fran. Make it happen Badgers.
Hawkeyes' shooting is ice cold. Bucky by 12, with 3:05 to go. 47-59.
What a way to save the possession!
WOW!! Talk about hot potato.
Free throws again
IA with the scoring drought. I want to see Fran explode too.
Good win
A SWEEP of I O W A!!!! See them in the Big Ten tourney probably.
52-64 Badgers win! Sweep!
This was Wahl's best game since he came back from his ankle injury. He looked like his old self, out there. Maybe Bucky can put together a string of wins, now, get into the tournament. Their turnovers were what killed them early. Stop those, and they can win these games. Making shots helps, too!
No. Even seemed very cordial in the handshake line. When you just got swept how else can you act.
He did have a semi heated conversation with a ref but his face did not turn red and his head did not look like it was going to explode.
The problem was the Badgers got such a big lead that he lost his fight. With 30 seconds left he instructed his team not to foul. He gave up. The one game you want to see come down to the wire with a Badgers win didn't materialize.

Heβs just trying to piss me off. Fuck you, Fran.
