I fully expect Iowa to shoot 18-25 from 3 on Thursday night.

JoBo never has a normal 3-6 type of 3 point shooting night. Either he barely takes a 3, makes 8 3s, or misses 9 3s.
Iowa fan response, "this game means nothing, more important games in Ames this week . . . . " So a non-con road game is more important than a home conference game against an evenly matched B1G team . . . SMH
Give Iowa a lot of credit for being a lot of "try hard" guys.
There is something to be said for Fran filling his roster with a bunch of rejects, dorks, and passed over guys. They play like they're out for revenge one flop at a time.

Nah something last spring.
I just remember being surprised by it.
But was someone else I guess.
Something about Carver is just not as good, exciting and fun as Hilton.
I grew up an Iowa fan and it was kind of hard to convert in football right away, but after my first game at Hilton as a freshman I was like "Oh I get it, this is awesome". We weren't even very good that year. Fizer's freshman year.
Anybody else remember Iowa's press when Dr. Tom was there? Bastards were constantly jumping over the end line and got away with murder. I LOVED it when this happened in Bloomington...
I laugh at all the ‘oh man so and so is gonna go off against us you just know it’. It’s a comment that just drives me nuts. We play defense like we have been and we win and doubt anyone goes ‘off’. So JorBo will go off? Cool well we have several players that played like **** at creighton so why aren’t we saying that about our OWN team about going off?
Agreed. Carver is dark, quiet, and dingy and feels like you are in an underground basement. The knitting ladies that always used to be parked in the front few rows never helped the atmosphere either.

Actually, if you are in IC, try Pagliai's Pizza! There is a Pagliai's in my hometown of Grinnell (a location in Johnston as well). It's probably my favorite pizza in Iowa - and their food inspection scores are off the charts (at least at the Grinnell location). A friend of mine talked to one of the inspectors and the guy told him that you could literally eat off the kitchen floor (they are obsessive about cleanliness).
Did anyone in the post game presser ask Fran if he is suffering from Kofi Cockburn after he got 18 rebounds on Iowa?
They do circle it as their biggest game of the year. Fran hasn’t won much of anything in his decade there so after a rough start head to head vs ISU at least they have these last few vs ISU as opposed to any big ten hardware or ncaa success.
Stuff like a player’s entire season consisting of coming off the bench to hurt players and start fights then he red shirts.
Honestly it’s like ISU football under Mac in terms of how “up” they are for this vs their own conference games and post season tournaments.
