Don't think this game is a breeze. Iowa has young talent and Carver has not been an easy win for Bucky in the past. I anticipate a tight game.

Hate hate hate to say it, but this could be a trap game.
can you call it a trap game if Iowa is favored?
Just can't get over the hump. Had a good run for a bit. and as I type this back to back 3s and now a TO by Iowa.
Great comeback, just a little bit short. Still tied for 1st in the Big Ten. 
And remember, Bo Owns Izzo!!

Except for the last two.
Tough to win on the road...especially this year...
those late turnovers killed Bucky (along with the horrible slow start).
Nice to see Marshall play well.

Did not see the game, not on tv out here. I think I saw where the Badgers were behind something like 30 to 10. How did this happen, good Iowa or bad Bucky?
A little of both?
I have seen way too many 5, 6 and seven minute scoring droughts in the past and I am thinking it happened again.

The slow start killed them. They remembered how to execute in the final 10 minutes of the game, but had to be perfect to pull off the comeback. A couple TOs and that was all she wrote.
Bo has to read his team carefully and make sure the guys that are playing well are on The floor. We have all been raving about Tra Jax the last couple weeks, but 1-10 is not helping your team. When you shoot 30% thats where the transition baskets come from.
So Marshall makes an interesting statement last night- "don't forget about me." Bo has to pay attention- sometimes the matchup favors Marshall, or they need to play off each other. Either way, they went 4-0 to start because they executed offensively. Get back to that and ours still in the BT hunt.

This is what you have to expect from Jackson and Marshall. They are young guys and they will play inconsistent until they get more experience. The part that frustrates me is Evans. He's totally erratic on the offensive end and when he doesn't shoot well this team struggles. This is where I would rather they give Dekker more minutes (if Evans is off).
It also seems like this is the way road Big Ten teams are going to play this season. I still don't think Iowa is very good, but they can be pretty good on their homecourt. Wisconsin found that out.
The Badgers are still playing better than I anticipated in conference play and given the makeup of the team I would expect more of the same. Maybe some upsets and some games where they lose where you'd think they would win.

I had this down as a loss, by my count we are +2 in the WL column so far.
After the Ill & Ind games, I feel confident about getting Iowa back at Kohl center, hopefully we get the home court bias the hawks got. Holy cripes. Getting Berggren in foul trouble early in games is job 1 for opposing teams going forward, mark it down.
