IUWBB vs NW

[Jssanto]

A road game, but what a squeaker. From the second quarter on we had a 1-5 point lead. With 1:34 left in the fourth quarter we were down 1 and momentum was all NW.
We escaped (the right word I think) with a four point win.
Strip is playing a little better than Lilly the last few games, but between the two we have a solid big. Unfortunately top programs seem to have a big that can take over a game and carry a team, at least for crucial minutes.
When we do not have threes dropping (3-10 in the second and third quarters) the absence of offensive rebounds or short rim shots with an and 1 is very evident.
A win is a win I guess.
Sunday we play at Iowa. Jenn Jensen is the new coach there but she had been Lisa Bulder’s assistant for 15 years. I am sure they will be the same old Iowa.
Always interested in other’s take on the game.

I forgot to add FTs. We were 16-18 and NW 9-15. That was a big deal difference. I remember Knight once saying a goal for every game is to make more FTs than the opponent shoots. Mission accomplished this time.

I only saw the 4th quarter, and not even all of that, but I listened to a good chunk of the second half. Sounded lethargic, sloppy. Some bad whistles. Seemed Northwestern packed it in and made us shoot and we couldn't.

Since Iowa doesn't play much defense, I'll give us a 40% shot of winning over there.
