So looking at the shoot percentage Iowa should be up double digits

That said they have shot the ball really well all tournament so maybe they keep it going
 
Eventually the clock strikes 12 and Cinderella will have to go home. Iowa is not a NC contender
I will die on the hill that Iowa has not only gotten the easiest bracket, but gotten extremely lucky in how everything played out to give them the easiest road to the FF.

Iowa gets a cake walk to the FF and ISU gets their best (one of the best in the country to boot) player hurt just typical. :curse:
 
It is crazy they didn't have to play Houston and instead got to play a really inconsistent team from their own conference, that they know well, have scouted well, etc. Houston can have scoring droughts but their athletes are insane and their best players are guards. Their best defenders are guards. That is how you easily beat Iowa. You don't beat Iowa with "size" like Florida or Illinois. Houston really f*cked up a gifted Final 4. Insane luck by the suckeyes.

Jefferson aside, I thought our draw was pretty favorable as well

Not watching but seems like it's going about the same as all their other tournament games. That is really well for them. Wake me up when our guys can have a 50% 3 point shooting effort against someone other than Lipscomb and Tennessee St
