Iowa State vs Iowa

[madguy30]

I think we can go inside on them.

They'll go after Osun and Gabe to try to get in each's head as they both can be a little fiery/reactionary.

Probably try flopping on Robbie to get him in foul trouble.

Pretty much guaranteed we will be in early foul trouble.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Going to be an interesting game. Shut down Murray and Perkins we will win. Don’t leave any open 3s. Defense can win us this game. But wouldn’t surprise if we lost either.

I’ll be in Carver. No worries. I’ll make sure we bring home the W!

Enjoy the free pizza

Wait for it. wait for it.

And that's how you **** Iowa

Here's one year ago when ISU destroyed Big Ten Tournament champ:


And here's about 9 months ago when ISU destroyed Big Ten regular season champ:

Home court is playing a factor early across college ball. If it stays at 3.5 I'm taking Iowa in this one.

The home team won every single game in the BE/B12 challenge.

They'll go off since this is the expectation.

It would be an annoying loss but not a bad one and Iowa seems to be far less punchable faceish.

The McCaffery kids are still there they are still punchable

My opinion is we’ll know how this one goes in the first 5 minutes with how they are calling fouls. If they let them play, ISU is going to wear down that team with their toughness. Iowa is a finesse team and they’re soft. If the refs call it tight, ISU is going to have a bunch of players in foul trouble and Iowa will win fairly easily. They are more skilled offensively and if the refs don’t allow ISU to play in your face defense, they won’t be able to keep up.

 

[NWICY]

I hope they beat Duke, read the local news about being a final four lock, fly back from nyc and play ISU less than 48 hours later.

Wait Iowa final four lock? Whoever wrote that needs to back off the weed for a bit

We had this happen against UCONN and stuck with them until the last 5 minutes or so. I think Iowa is no UCONN.

It’s on the road. Fouls will be called. Our fans will complain about the foul disparity between the two teams.
It’s as predictable as the sun coming up.

Abdel Nader have any eligibility left?

 

[NWICY]

I'd like to put a pasting on them, but as long as we get out with the W I'm happy

 

[tyler24]

Just realized we have 5 different starters from that game last year. Wow.

 

[Cydewayz]

Gabe starts on the bench

You know what I mean....gotta keep defenders able to defend

 

[singsing]

Need to avoid some ticky tack fouls to start....cant have Gabe, Osun, etc on bench early

Bench seems to be pretty good this year though..One of the better I remember. I don't mind seeing Watson or Ward on the floor. In fact I really like Watson out there..I did not expect him to be that quick. He's an excellent defender. Strong and his length stands out. Bet he starts next year.

Had the same vs. UNC and today too.

Whether they beat Iowa or not...we'll see, but they've responded well to foul trouble so far.
