It was a night of coming up short in terms of shots and bounces for our formerly undefeated Iowa Hawkeye basketball team. Cold shooting and a litany of other reasons contributed to the 72-66 loss at the hands of the No. 22 Badgers.
Neither team could get much going early on. Quick whistles and interesting shot selection will do that do you. Big Ten Basketball is BACK.
The first half ended in a 27-27 tie. Some call it defensive poetry. Others call it Slopshow 2018. The announcing crew made a point to describe this game as being a great first half of basketball.
