PER

Bart Torvik PRPG! for Niang and Uthoff by year...

Niang

2016 = 5.7

Uthoff

Who was better, again?

That stat has Georges being worth 1.2 more points during their mutual senior years.

Its pace of play. At least that's what some here claim. Iowa plays fast.

No they don't....

Iowa is 225/353
ISU is 30/353

I honestly feel like Iowa has a better team at this point from what we've seen from both squads. Their offense has been really good and scoring can come from a lot of places in their lineup. The Cyclones have struggled to shoot and Iowa will dare them to shoot threes over their zone. Hilton will be a big boost, but I think Iowa gets their first Hilton victory in nearly 2 decades 82/72. Hopefully I am wrong and the Cyclones win and shoot well.

I'll also predict a double technical, at least one bloody player (separate incident from double technical, just a basketball play resulting in a cut), Bohannon doing the ol miss dog peeing celebration at midcourt which causes his hips to be permanently injured in that position where they carry him off the court in a dog carrier & he later grad transfers to a school with a dog mascot. They also show his tweet from last night during the broadcast. Early tomorrow morning, Fran gets a multi-year extension announced.

Iowa is much better in half court offense because of Garza. Tyrese is elite on offense but his game depends on the players around him knocking down shots which is a total roll of the dice. Garza can get consistent half court points even if the rest of his team is playing like dog****.

I don't think they're better defensively at all, really not at any single position. I think ISU is too inconsistent to say we're better in an uptempo game but we should have the pieces to make that a possibility.

The players know this is the super bowl. Halliburton talks about this game all the time.

Bet they talk KU and Allen Fieldhouse more than this game.

KU is the bigger rivalry type of game in the eras where ISU takes Big 12 hardware from them.

During the past 7-8 years and around 99-00 the Iowa game was an afterthought. The two regular season games against KU are easily the two I'm watching if I can only see two every season.

It really gets under their skin how we take over KC and win the tournament most years. The more they deny it the more you know it eats at them.

It's no different than when ISU football was miserable for a few decades and Iowa would have a good stretch of years. It makes sense Hawkeye fans wouldn't give a crap about ISU those years.

It means the same for both teams because it is an in state rival and neither team likes each other, but it means more to the Hawks in a different way. I've been over this plenty of times, but when your roster is made up of predominantly in-state players, they're going to have a little bit different of a mentality than the out of state players do. I guarantee you Bohannon, McCaffery, and Pemsl have a different view point than Garza does.

Does he tweet about them at 1:30 am, the morning of the game? Not my point guard

 

[heitclone]

Iowa has 10 kids from Iowa on their roster, only 1 of them was offered by ISU. I dont think we can blame them from taking this game so serious, I'm not sure how you couldn't have a chip on your shoulder after not even getting a sniff from ISU. From the looks of it, its probably what has motivated Jorbo to have the success he's had in his career. He needs ISU.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Halliburton talks about Iowa all the time.

This week I am sure. Do you think he is when this happens........

 

[heitclone]

Or send out celebratory tweets when Iowa loses?

If JorBo doesn’t anything at mid-Court there is a good chance that a bench-clearing brawl ensues.

So Iowa State hasnt beat Iowa in anything that matters in basically three years now. Thoughts, cyclone dip *****?

@CyTwins

Nothing like hanging onto a name for 6 years to get banned.
