Best win of the year IMO!
It's how they did it. Up by double digits in the first half, down by 3 at halftime. Down by double digits in the second half and pull out the win. Could do wonders for their confidence?
Not disrespecting the Wisky road win.

Re: Best win of the year IMO!
I agree...It is tough to come back from 10...when at one point you were up by 10.

Re: Best win of the year IMO!
Nothing beats that Wisconsin win and the win at Minnesota was cool too. This one was great though because of the comeback. Down 10 points in the second half and we win. Marble's dunk had me going nuts.

Yes, Marble's dunk was sick, even as Sampson was hacking his face off. Bad missed call.

Re: Best win of the year IMO!
Definitely the most timely win. Maybe this will shake off the general funk of waning confidence, weak attitude and all around out-of-sorts that 9-day break caused.
I was right at the edge of writing them off along the lines of the past 3 years. Now, can't wait 'till next game ... again!
I WAS WRONG! Especially about the mental weakness.
Very nice, most impressively, GUTTY win.

Re: Best win of the year IMO!
That was a great win !
This team may not have a lot of W's,but they hustle,are energetic & are exciting to watch ...if they could have split with purdue & won vs nebraska, they would have 14 wins now with 8 left plus big 10.
still have outside shot I spoose @ main tourney, if they finish at least 7-1 & win maybe 2 in tourney.....there non conference losses vs some subpar teams hurt, but its gotta count for something playing in the best conference.
I ain't counting on that happening,would be happy if they keep playin hard & finish strong & play in some postseason tourney..
Will be sad to see Gaten's finish his career @ Iowa without a trip to dance though !

Re: Best win of the year IMO!
i would say it could be our best win. the fact that we didnt play our up and down style of ball for 3/4 of the game means we had to adapt and gut it out. that is a sign of growth by the team. if you look at the game we didnt have a player really play their best game and as a team we didnt play great but we found a way to get the w. that is what good teams do they find ways to win when they dont have their "a" game.

Totally agree with both posts here. This team definitely has the "clutch" gene in them in tight games. Gatens continues to hit the big threes at critical junctures, and Marble played relatively unremarkable game (it was solid, but not spectacular, statistically), but completely dominated the final minutes. Cartwright missed a pair of FT's, then nails two when we desperately needed them.
