[Herky] Final Iowa 58 Minnesota 55

[Stephen Somermeyer]

 A great gutty performance.  I got that sinking feeling when Minny made that last run so was really excited when the Hawkeyes pulled it out.  Wiezy seemed a bit off but Minny really focused on him, especially when Garzilla was on the bench.  Hope it was just an off night and that he'll bounce back Thursday.
A few memories - When Stick was a freshman he got pissed during a practice and punched the senior captain guard right in the mouth knocking out a tooth or two.  Nobody teased about his skinnyness or messed with him again.
- Didn't that team set and still holds the conference scoring average of 103/game?  And this was before the 3-pt shot.
- Fran gets red faced when he's irritated - You could tell Ralph Miller's mood by how he put his bottle of water on the floor under his seat.  The harder it went down the madder he was.
- I had a number of late nights studying at Engineering Bldg. and discovered that John Johnson worked late at the gas station downtown pumping gas to help make ends meet.  Once I discovered that I always stopped there on way home and chatted with him - very nice, humble guy.
Go Hawks!
Steve

The 1970 Big 10 team wasn't real tall either.  Glen The Stick was 6-8 or 6-9 but about 180# wasn't he?

The Don Nelson reference brings back memories; Matt Szykowny, Joe Reddington, Joe Novak, etc.
One of Iowa's all time shortest lineups.

With four of the top eight people out with injuries, the coaching, the resiliency and the cohesiveness of this team is a phenomenon. I don’t know how long this can last, but all Hawkeye fans should be immensely proud of a team that reminds me of Don Nelson’s senior year when 4 starters were lost at the semester.
