Hate to say and see this but not adjusting your lineup to those players playing the best and sticking with a rotation is poor coaching

Strawbridge's play drives me nuts. He can be good, and then oh so bad!

Our coach hurts our team by not going with the guys who played so well and got us the half-time lead. He instead went with the guys who dug us the hole to start the game! Very POOR coaching! We now have another hole to dig out of! What in the world is he doing!

Not saying the rotations are correct as obviously the starting unit dug a hole for us at the start of both halves. However, five guys cannot play 40 minutes either. So, the other guys have to step up their games (whenever they are on the floor) if we are to win this game. So, it is a little bit of both. Agree to stick with the hot hands as much as you can. Rags, generally does that pretty good later in the second half.

And this is the coach so many defend? I think his lack of playing the strongest players in many games has cost us as it is doing tonight! Such a basic part of coaching - recruiting, playing, and utilizing the best in a player! I don't see this happening with our coach!

So Yacine, Chuck and Tanner and Cam have played a lot of the minutes tonight and have the highest efficiency numbers. Gage played quite a bit because Kenny and Josh had three fouls and Antonio just wasn't playing well. So not sure this is all on Rags but understand the frustration and coming back out with the guys that dug the hole in the first place. But certainly easy to say in hindsight.
The main thing is the guys are fighting tonight and showing heart. A coach will always be criticized - some justly and some not.
We are within two points now on Cam's three pointer with 7:47 to go (49-51). Glad to see Cam playing better.

Haffner getting hot!
It wasn't expected, but man, this would be a great win if we can overtake UNI.

If we can keep this close and have a chance at the end that is probably all that we can ask for.
We have a chance to be outscored by up to 48 points on this Iowa trip and still get a split.
Within one at 54-53 with 4:46 to go.

Bad turnovers really hurting us.

We can get it close, but we can't quite get the lead (yet). Down five (60-55) with 3:36 to go.

Bailey subbed out with UE down by 1 with about 5:30 to go - let’s see what happens Chuck checked in at the 16:32 mark and checked out at the 5:35 mark. He probably need a breather. Hopefully we will see him down the stretch.
