years and Fran mcaffry has done a great job of continuing that Trend Big 10 season officially underway and as we were talking earlier today Stephen you see this kind of as a contrast in Styles yeah Northwestern wants to have fewer possessions Iowa wants to get the possessions up in the 70s and even 80s if they can push the tempo that much Owen Freeman with the ball tops score and rebounder he gets it going tonight Owen Owen Freeman running up the court saying he can’t guard me so let’s see if Nicholson to take that challenge and step up and this will be off for nor Buster turnover right back to the hawkey hitting the mark For the First Time of the Season Freeman has the first bucket got stuck in the air kicks it out to Harding three seconds to shoot dicks got to get it going 5 nothing IA yeah Lee transfer from Fairfield back up top to barnheiser averaging 20 points per in his four games back tell you what Brock Hardy but as well as he’s been playing lately he wants that one back how about the game on Martin aing 20 just along with bar for one from distance but they would like to get it inside more this year than they have in the past Freeman hit Iowa’s opening bucket San for boy Nick Martinelli you can re before draining that last one dicks finds him again [Applause] it’s a good look to Freeman double teamed inside stay here with the hawkey with 14 to [Applause] shoot Owen Freeman with the ball the only hawkey who hit double figures every game he’s played in shot clock down to six he can make those tell you what if Owen Freeman is hitting threes it’s going to be a long night for northwester tough shot another Miss and here comes Hardy Deele doing a great job of utilizing his side dicks with another two Paul I tell you what people inside the Big 10 though fly like that Zan for Freeman got a piece of it Martinelli with the rebound he made the one three and every other shot has missed so far nice spin move inside and he has both Northwestern baskets tell you what Northwest is very fortunate n with his link said quite an Ascension years Steven three points per game to 9 to 20 barnheiser knocks down to three so he has one from Deep Martinelli does going but look how long Mullins is very difficult to penetrate on that really great length San for Runner tough shot back to Iowa City to make his mark on this program you see how how deep his bag can go on the offens two times in his career he’s gone for over 20 Against the Wild Cats barnheiser had it by bronze but what they did to us in 1989 but that was a talented talented Duo who have scored for the purples so far tonight G I love Brooks Bar heiser’s game is you cannot speed him up and he’s a basketball saon he studies the game he knows other teams Tendencies he is a he is a true survivor dick scores again for his career Matthew Nicholson has really been a a key piece to this consistency from the Northwestern Wildcats looking at the Wildcats in terms of the last five years had the third most victories in the Big 10 behind o Purdue and illo boy that has been the missing piece of this offense the last couple weeks no and it’s I know Chris Collins that’s good to see that longrange shot dropping cuz they’re going to get opportunities with Martinelli and Brooks barnheiser Iowa had an early 10 nothing run to take a 10-point lead Northwestern is bounced back bronze inside and it blocked again but this Brooks barnheiser we talked about him offensively Sten he’s made a couple tonight BR set you up he can score he can cut off ball he can space and shoot the three started every game the last two years at Morehead States Aver just under 11 points Freeman open inside now he’s double teamed back out to price Sanford [Applause] and they also bring this sophomore Off the Bench so this is a young team and all of the and the first compliment they pay him is what he’s brought to the defensive end something they’re trying to make more of a focus here in Iowa City well and they understand uh Fran does that you know you can be a PO scoring team like they are year to year but at some point you got to lock down another it up with some confidence tonight all guys average a big 10 best 21 assists per game and they’re already at five Martinelli in trouble little hook pass to barnheiser strong cross over that’s what he does yeah he knew he had Brock Harding on him Brock Chris Collins saying let’s get some stops eventually the ball is going to start going in for us it’s been a struggle so far for Northwestern yeah it has five of 17 overall three from 11 from Deep leech worked his way inside to nice heads up play by Lee impressive velopment for leech jumped it up to 16 last year as an allc conference player and now for the first season in the Big 10 you know I I’d love to see Player Development and maturation like that because it’s you know people think it should be microwave you know people come in and they should be fully developed and that’s usually not the cas s has a pair of Threes IA shooting hit Northwestern for a career high 24 points last year part of a string of three consecutive games over 20 points at the end of last season Harden difficult shot oh man oh man will back in that man-to-man defense good spin by barnheiser and the fade away Nicholson kept it alive Martinelli leech little floater see if that gets the catch scope that’s really good basketball there and there goes the rim running Freeman have a chance to make it three I’m telling you he runs the floor as well as any big in college basketball and you wonder why I the only Hawkeye so far this year to hit double figures each outing and he turns that into a three-point play he’s really worked on his game he’s gotten stronger and heavier to take on the battles of these bigs in the Big 10 conference but he hasn’t lost any speed I tell you that look at F Well play defense Sanford is open Harding keeps it himself dicks to the hoop his totle game on the way tonight yeah it is and they they’re in attack mode on the Iowa hawkey I think someone reminded them of the dominance that they’ve had over Northwestern winning nine in the last 10 matchups another steal dicks out ahead two more him back sometime soon sharino true freshman from Chicago he wears number 44 in for the first time good look to Martinelli and the put back from Luke hunger checked in for the first time Luke sub per minutes you got to be impactful on the floor it’s Big 10 Basketball every possession matters Rock Harding hit from the lane a little while ago kicks this one to fwell pull up oh man I’m telling you Brock Hardin is getting to any spot on the court that he wants and when you can pull up short range or mid-range rather that’s pretty yeah Iowa has a team shooting over 70% so far hunger to Mullins that’s pretty that is pretty almost Eternal for Hunger he’s able to recapture the basketball that might get Northwest a little bit settled down there Iowa has made six shots in a row they won’t get a chance for seven though Barry keeps it himself and he’ll shoot two Ty Barry at the line shooting two makes the first one the shooting numbers tonight the fact that they’ve been out with un Leach lost the handle both teams now in the bonus North Western off the official they keep it leech wild cats have scored the last four points you see Jeffrey Anderson said the ball hit him so he didn’t call it back court violation San for missed no block out though in a new 20 for Iowa Wildcats on a six to nothing Run San for spinning oh oh that’s a tough fouls against the junior Justin [Music] Mullins so B to the bench with that attack Owen Freeman off the bouns there’s nobody at The Rim to deter him I’d like to see him be a little bit more aggressive putting the ball on the deck and challenging just like Luke hunger did right there second time we’ve seen hunger do that yeah you got to attack the middle Owen Freeman wants to stay out of foul trouble so he’s going to give you an initial thrust on the defensive end but he’s not going to stay with you long Wildcats making a little push here at the end of the first half they’ve made their last four shots San for to San for for three I think they’ve done that once or twice we watching hold your follow through on your jump shot it won’t keep you from doing anything but hold that follow through Barry held it long enough for it to go he did Ty Perry it is good to see him find the range after struggling coming off of that injury struggling mightily made one out of 10 one of his last 10 threes but has made good a couple of times here tonight Freeman’s been quiet since the start of the game five straight shots still they Trail by [Applause] 13 Martinelli going to work that’s hard to defend almost impossible at 67 I mean Dix’s got good size meanwhile Iowa has made eight of their last nine watch for a high ball screen here y 15 seconds left Harding against leech down to six Sanford had a good look at it hunger with the glass and price sanf for came up to take that one away it’ll stay here with the Hawkeyes and one and a half to shoot I like Jeffrey Anderson talking to the players like there Harding dicks almost got it to go one of his rare misses in the first half Iowa has been in control the init to the Lane and to the glass missed leech wants that one back I was going to say the same thing he’d love to have that one back Harding with the scoop a whistle called before he made that shot and the foul goes against oh this is a program that is used to winning a lot of that had to do with boo boo and he establish a culture here with these wild cats of toughness up top dicks he’s got the first two of this half and if you are not having your track shoes on getting back defensively you’ll give up easy buckets like [Music] that Barry second three attempt of this half he’s made three of those tonight tell you what belly in the air and then Hardy came up to take it away has Sanford up ahead choos his dicks back to Freeman two more well that’s Picture Perfect fast break opportunities right there for IR H now with a dozen assists barnheiser double teamed as he has been much of the night Lee three continue to launch those up now they went over Harding has been the quarterback tonight Distributing this time all the way in and a pretty two well he I can’t say enough eight points in the game high five assists barnheiser one-on-one against dicks fade away okay we about to see the Brooks and Iowa turns it over boy Northwestern is so fortunate in that possession Martinelli open Lane Northwestern has it down to a single digit lead understand why they were upset I thought that was off Owen Freeman Biser hesitation to the glass now the lead is seven that was pretty and now you starting to see the in Wildcats on a 6 nothing run Martinelli with the defense up ahead to barnheiser finish what a turn of events this possession got to make something happen here barnheiser has been the man in the second half Barry inside Martinelli they creep even closer they that ball movement was not there in the first half for Northwest now they’re forcing the defense of Iowa to shift and they’re getting good looks inside of that matchup Zone 10 nothing run wild catch dicks RS and he’ll shoot two makes the first some success there but comes back home to have say it means any program any sport right on makes one out of two four-point lead Barry he’s made three make it four oh man truth Elwell couldn’t have been in any better position to shoot hunger slips and tipped it in oh boy wild cat on basket of the night dicks 16 points game high back up top to Sanford lot of pivoting inside finally a basket for as they retake the lead barnheiser against dicks Fade Away hunger again second consecutive bucket has been quiet so far here almost out of taken away seven to shoot Freeman working and a foul called against Northwestern inside [Applause] [Music] BR San for understand his displeasure with that call it’s their opponent love to put it on the deck Sanford three PT siser tied away closer to the bucket I don’t think he saw the basket when he made that no that grown man move right there that’s grown man strength not strength scrim that was tough knocked away got jiser got that look in his [Music] eye beautifully now though s for on Biser he spent a lot of their possessions handling the ball here strong first step and a spin knocked [Applause] away Crowes he’s got three fouls Northwestern again and now they have another chance to tie all locked at 61 here’s at Fairfield first here in the Big 10 floater Nicholson tips it up got it back M Nelly Northwestern leades Well Northwest just out scrapping Iowa right back to Nicholson size advantage against dicks and he’s fouled see what kind of foul they rule [Applause] this let’s take let’s take a comparison Matthew Nicholson 7 foot 280 lbs I think Josh Dix is going to be able to throw him down without a little bit of uh little embellishment there Paul I mean it was a hard foul but hait tied with a three Sanford fwell back to him T drewell is such an intrical part what I Barn’s got to make a move got to go quickly three to shoot Barry oh my goodness what a plus jumper digits on of that first half we heard Chris Collins say keep shooting they’ll start to fall and they have in the second half marnelli didn’t get that one to fall and here comes Sanford two on one understanding how the intensity on [Applause] peacock Martinelli Iowa ready to double team there it is now he’s back to one-on-one and he takes advantage [Applause] that’s Martinelli to back buckets and there’s their largest lead I tell you what Northwestern has said you know what MC Martinelli pton sford is guarding you take him and that’s what we’ve seen the last couple possessions Di at Freeman for a moment Harding there’s Freeman 29 of the team’s 37 points in the second half Freeman fails to convert matter for Northwest barnheiser hunger boy in sight he’ll go to the line to shoot two but he had a great chance to make that a three-point play and he’s had a couple looks like that that he’s already above his average lead they can’t do it but they’re up already in three ties where is Jo Jos dicks right now Sanford said here I am just missed on the three barnheiser flirting with a double double and he’s more than happy to slow it down 230 left and his side leading by four Josh Dix has got to get activated on the offensive end for Iowa it can’t be all pton sford cuz he’s having to work on the defensive end like this Martinelli going to work in the lane again I I really appreciate Chris Collins’s approach it’s more like a a pro approach if I got something that’s working I’m going to keep working points a piece they each have 19 fre get get Miss fires two Miss free throws in a row for him that’s big in a six-point game I was going to have to change things up defensively they got a double team or something cuz if Martinelli gets to his spot once again it’s going to be tough matchup zone right now for Iowa next foul will send Northwestern to the line for the bonus Martinelli Barry dicks rebound 140 left trailing by six dicks all the way in downhill giving him his chance himself and his teammates a chance to close this deficit dicks hasn’t missed a free throw this season Northwestern lead back to three Barry opens up inside he takes the two wow I didn’t think to Barry was going to come up with that pass looked a little Aon he got it Barry’s got 19 Harding got stuck Freeman and one [Applause] again make it one for four Northwestern by three Martinelli up top to barnheiser as we hit the one minute [Music] Mark T to shoot barnheiser lost control possession Iowa needs to get the shooting going for Fran McCaffrey they’ve missed nine of their last 11 shots Harding that one one point game beautiful with the off hand 13 second difference shot clock and game [Applause] clock Chris cins called for a high ball screen with CHR Baris oh wow foul called against Thell and that’ll set s for the season four for four tonight game high lead by three 21 seconds left there’s Northwestern foul right here to prevent a three-point look Harding oh he’s going to take the two three the old fashion way on the line and he missed wild cats by one barnheiser [Applause] Barry and he goes to the line lead back they’re going to foul here Barry makes this they’re going to foul short almost got the rebound led by his many is 17 trying to tie or retake the lead inside of six seconds Harding two seconds price sford they called a timeout before I would call it time out the clock show Payton Sanford recognized look at the bottom of your screen ladies and gentlemen he’s calling timeout right there he right at one second yeah might difficult toss for Brock Harden that’s seven foot on it for the win oh oh my goodness Josh dicks with the plausible game winner they’ll take another look at [Applause] this and here we go game to keep an eye on the red light he got it off Josh dicks just did that three-pointer for the Hawkeye win Paul unbelievable game to start the Big 10 conference season with a game winner9 seconds Josh dicks coming up huge Iowa with long distance threes to win this week Drew Stevens on

Iowa‼️‼️‼️🙌🙌🙌🏆🏆🏆✨✨✨
can't believe how empty the stadium is, maybe not the most exhilarating match up but where's the school support!?
1. Can’t rebound
2. Can’t make FTs
3. Can’t play defense
4. Can’t take care of the ball
5. Low level coaching
6. NW found a matchup, exploited it repeatedly, and Fran had no adjustment.
Dix, Sandfort, Harding, Freeman, Thelwell, and Traore are a slam dunk Tourney team under proper coaching.
Instead we get the classic
-fast start
-up at halftime
-opp coaches make adjustments
-Fran gets outclassed
– sticks to game plan
– team collapses
– game is lost
(see Utah st Vs Iowa)
*and then in rare occasions where Iowa actually has better athletes than the opponent, individual players make big time plays to bail out the Head Coach. (Dix/Harding)
(See NW @ IOWA)
Iowa basketball baby
