Northwestern goes with Drew Crawford, Dave Sobolewski, Alex Marcotullio, Reggie Hearn, John Shurna. #Wildcats

Comes to no surprise the #Badgers offense went in the tank without warning. This is why Final Fours are/will be foreign language in Madison.

If you want a solid #Northwestern perspective for the night, you could do worse than @k_trahan

I feel like we could play Tecmo Super Bowl on the Welsh-Ryan Jumbotron, that thing's so old-school.

I counted 10, maybe 11 Wildcats in the layup line. Short-handed tonight.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:00:06 AM
Northwestern basketball may not have an NCAA tournament appearance, but dagnabbit, they got a blimp!

Bo Jackson will end you RT @Stads20 I call the 49ers! RT @ajbrenner11 I feel like we could play Tecmo Super Bowl on the Welsh-Ryan Jumbotron
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:03:25 AM
Final thought: am I the only one a little baffled Northwestern is 87 RPI spots above Iowa? This one smells of toss-up.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:05:01 AM
The pick: Northwestern 74, Iowa 69. Yes, I'm waffling from yesterday's blog. #Hawkeyes #Wildcats

Last time Iowa was on the court, Devyn Marble sank a huge late 3 vs Minnesota. He gets Iowa started with a pretty triple, 3-0 18:41
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:08:27 AM
The crowd here is 60-40 for the purple guys.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:08:50 AM
The Putback Tomato. 7-3 Iowa
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:10:22 AM
That was the goofiest-looking shot I've ever seen. Naturally, because it's John Shurna, it went in. Followed by Crawford lay in transition
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:11:07 AM
Hearn abuses Marble inside, 'Cats on a 7-0 run
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:12:15 AM
That Dave Sobolewski's a quick one. 9-0. Eric May first #Hawkeye summoned from the bench.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:12:47 AM
1st 14:58 Northwestern 12 Iowa 7. Matt Gatens, Zach McCabe have missed a few jumpers. Only White has ventured inside so far.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:13:35 AM
Community defensive effort on Shurna.

May in, and promptly travels.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:15:56 AM
Northwestern up 19-9, on a 16-2 run.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:19:27 AM
Aaron White 9, Devyn Marble 5, Teammates 0.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:21:11 AM
Iowa responds. 7-2 run, cuts the Northwestern lead to 5. Basabe just now in the lane.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:23:08 AM
1st 9:00 | Northwestern 21 Iowa 16. Wildcats missed 4 of last 5. Aaron White 9 points, 7 rebounds. All-freshman team lock, I say.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:24:31 AM
Hey there, Josh Oglesby. He finds room in the high post, short J to make it 21-18 purple
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:27:26 AM
Matt Gatens knocks down a 3, his first points of the game. Crawford can't be stopped right now, though (9 points). Just 3 for Shurna
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:29:21 AM
1st 6:04 | Northwestern 26 Iowa 23. Just so we're all clear, Wildcats have zero answer to any post game Iowa tries. Depth, height, nothing.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:30:08 AM
Shots come and go. Layups shouldn't. RT @k_trahan #Northwestern dominating outside. Iowa dominating down low. We'll see which works best.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:32:34 AM
This is really not a game for Eric May. Too offensive-minded.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:36:17 AM
1st 3:29 | Northwestern 30 Iowa 23. As @thebstiles notes, Hawkeyes scoreless since Gatens 3, which was 3:33 ago.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:37:54 AM
Overly rambunctious pass by Cartwright overshoots Gatens in the post. Wildcats looking to rebuild double-digit lead.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:41:23 AM
Northwestern's 7-of-14 from 3 tonight. 36-25, 2 minutes left in 1st half
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:42:28 AM
At least refs are fair, if not right. Marble and Shurna woulda had NBA continuation in this 1st half, but instead foul on the floor.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:44:21 AM
Speaking of continuation ... #Shurna

Halftime | Northwestern 38, Iowa 29. #Hawkeyes keep forgetting to pack their defense on these road trips.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:47:01 AM
Well, it ain't rebounding tonight. 21-8 in favor of the black and gold.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:53:55 AM
Usually, you try to have better than 5 assists and 10 TOs, Iowa. Something like, oh, 12 assists and 3 turns, like Northwestern has.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 2:54:21 AM
Coming into tonight, Iowa allowed 81.0 points per game in eight deals away from Carver-Hawkeye.

2nd 17:50 Northwestern's leading 42-33. Shurna has 13 points, Crawford's got 10. Three fouls on McCabe, so Brommer's in.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 3:08:29 AM
NW pass tipped out of bounds. Time for more play by play. Because of awesome ESPNU programming.
by ajbrenner11 via twitter 2/10/2012 3:08:55 AM
Iowa has picked up six fouls in 2 minutes, 44 seconds. Andrew Brommer has 2 fouls in about two blinks of an eye.
