Iowa State vs Iowa
- Thread starter Pope
- Start date
Kris’s PER last year was similar to Niang’s senior year. Of course that goes down a little if he’s “the man” but it shows how obvious Fran’s strategy is. He looked at a player who was producing at second team all American level when he got on the court and played him 17 minutes a game.
Get their defenders moving and they are too slow footed to guard very many people. I think Tj puts Grill on Murray to start.
Something to consider...Iowa plays Duke on Tuesday and then us on Thursday...I'm sure they've prepared in some aspect but that's not ideal scheduling for them.
I just hope we can start the game like we did against St. John's. Punch em in the mouth and never let up.

It will be interesting to see how Iowa's game against Duke impacts this game. Duke is ranked 17th, which is very low for a typical Duke team, and some feel they don't deserve that ranking. So I could see Iowa having a good night and picking off Duke. Anyway, with an 8:30 tip off on Tuesday evening, I'm guessing Iowa's players won't get back to their homes until around 3am.
Duke looks like everyone else that has a few high end recruits decidedly below the fear Duke level.
Right. Other than TCU Iowa's schedule has been very meh. Seton Hall and GA Tech are awful and Clemson is average. TCU absolutely abused Iowa in the second half of that game.
Fully agree. I wouldn't be surprised if a drama arts professor and the diving coach haven't jointly designed a mandatory Emoting 101 course for the basketball teams; men's and women's.
Lmao, so which one is it? Are they tough and "thug up" games like Michigan State or are they "soft and finesse"?
You guys alwasy want it both ways and it makes zero sense
Iowa’s a soft team that acts like they’re tough. That’s been their MO for years.
Holy overreaction batman.
Referring to the fake tough guy dirty play, staring down players, walking through huddles etc type of tactics.
Pretty sure Conner gets into some sort of altercation on the regular throughout a season.
I've watched most of their games and the last time I remember anything beyond a normal technical was back in 2019 against Illinois.
Also, Fran usually just sits there now, occasionally he'll yell at the refs but he yells at his players more nowadays. You guys need to catch up with the times.
This game comes down to how many times the whistle blows against us. We will foul a bunch, that's for sure. We just can't have UCONN like foul trouble or it's going to be tough to win. I am anxious to see how this team handles a true road environment and the officiating that comes with playing on the road.
He gets into an altercation ordering a Falbos pizza.
