It is weird I know you are a grown man but sometimes your posts make you sound like a 6 year. Odd.

Well technically this guy is a grown man too. So...

By bubble I just remember Hassel and the other Iowa goons on Twitter freaking out about maybe having to play in the play in game. They won a game in March somehow that kept them in the actual tourney IIRC

They beat UM in Ann Arbor in March that year. I highly doubt a loss at Michigan, who made the NCAA tourney that season, would have bumped from from a 7 seed to a First Four game.

And LOL at your definition of "bubble".

Depends if you count a 8-9 seed as a bubble team or if it has to be a 10 seed or worse. Honestly it's hard to keep track of all the Fran fades

Iowa was seeded #27 in the field of 68 that season. The First Four teams were seeded 41, 42, 43 and 45.

They werent even close to the bubble.

I think you are a little slow on the uptick here. I get him to keep doubling and tripling down on his really bad trolls. Even Clone fans then get tired of his dumb troll and call him out. Heck there have been 6-10 Clone fans call him out in this thread alone in the last couple weeks.

I'm not taking his bait, he is eating mine. He is doing exactly what I want him to.

Fouls aren't the reason Wisconsin lost. They were ahead 12 going into the 8 minute tv timeout. They played like crap down the stretch and that's why they lost.

Lol Iowa shot 20 free throws in the last 7:27 of the game. That's insane!

Not exactly sure.

Never said they were, just correcting some really bad data that you presented. You said 6-4 before that when it was 12-4 before that.

So last year they lost their final four regular season games, 5 of their final 6 (the one win was vs a team that didn't make the tourney at home in overtime) and faded to a bubble team?

Yup, and then made it farther in the tourney that ISU did.

This is your pivot? Going from talking about the 2015-2016 team as a bubble team when they got in as a 7 seed to talking about last year when Iowa clobbered ISU and made it farther in the tourney than the Cyclones.
