Iowa had its chances there at the end to tie it. At least I got to the green line stop right as it was about to pull up, so I'll be home sooner than I anticipated.

LOL at the Minnesota student section chanting "Free Throw Merchant" at Bennett Stirtz. I didn't realize he suddenly morphed into SGA.

Washington QB Demond Williams announces he's entering the portal. That's a big one.
"I have to do what is best for me and my future."
Comes just days after it was reported Williams was signing a deal to stay at UW.

Iowa is pretty fortunate to only be down 7 going into halftime. Also, not a single FT attempt for the Hawkeyes in the first half.

They're keeping at it defensively and finally getting some buckets. Even more impressive is this is happening with Stirtz on the bench with foul trouble.

Shots just aren't falling, and Stirtz just picked up his second foul.

Minnesota stopped performing the Black National Anthem at The Barn (yes, this was done at past Iowa/Minnesota games I've witnessed here).

A key pressure point in the John Harbaugh dismissal, according to those familiar with today’s discussions, was his refusal to entertain any conversations about potentially moving on from offensive coordinator Todd Monken.

The ideal scenario would be beating the Packers first and foremost, and then the 49ers winning in Philly since that would then mean SF goes to Seattle and then either the Rams or Panthers come to Chicago in the divisional round.

Philly got a stop. Not convinced Tanner McKee is about to lead them down the field here though.

Infuriating.
If the Bears are going to play the Packers next week, then I'd rather they get their shit together and earn the 2 seed versus backing into it because Philly rested some dudes and didn't have the same incentive for it.
