I don't think he shrugged off the Iowa loss. He sounded pretty pissed to me.
I'd be tempted to sit out Bowie for the 1st half against MVSU just to teach him a lesson about not being a total *******

On the one hand, Bowie is absolutely right and will never have to face Drake again. They're 345 of 351 in RPI, or thereabouts for goodness sake. However, why did that run take 36 minutes to happen? There are no more Drakes on the schedule. Time to STFU and play.
Someone should tweet Bowie that he should probably get his free throw percentage above 45% before talking smack.
A couple observations from being at the game yesterday.
-All this talk about improved defense but Drake was scoring at will on us. Lots of uncontested shots and our interior defense is beyond pathethic.
-Rebounding is just awful, Burton is our best rebounder and he had a hard time competing inside for rebounds against Drakes bigs. Bowie is about our only inside threat to score and rebound.
One last thought, how bad does Simeon Carter have to be to not get minutes over Holden?

As much as we liked to make fun of White for similar things Bowie is right. Drake had zero business being in that game. Talent wise we are a top 25 team. We have not played anywhere near well enough to deserve that. I don't know the context but if it is said in a way that means we have to get our heads out of our butts I have no problem with it. That is kind of my impression of it if it came from a Naz pep talk right before the run.
This must make Capital city league super awkward when they're literally in the same huddle...
If you are going to talk trash, do it like Georges Niang or don't do it at all.
I disagree with both of these. Drake played well and looked well-coached, playing nice team ball. I know they've been in games but fell short.
I don't see ISU as a top 25 team at the moment. No one reliable in creating, and virtually out of sight in the post.
Pretty true. Niangs "talk" always came in context or as a teasing troll of rival fans. It's was never just arrogant spouting off. He's a pretty grounded guy, or so it always seemed to me.
Our guys play like its a burden to try. Like they are good enough the other team should just get with the program. They're just going through motions a lot of the time. It's frustrating to watch. Especially Burton. That dude pouts a lot.
It's fine to be cocky or have attitude if you back it up and keep your composure. Kane, Ejim, Niang were the embodiment of what I'm getting at.
Oh, and BTW, I did not dig the dumb comments but I think the CF overreaction guage is about to spin off the dial.
Kind of the opposite of Hoiberg's first team, which was a bad team but still likeable and fun to watch.
This team.. has little identity and isnt very fun to watch, and that leaves little tolerance for arrogance.
Confucius say, man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day long.
don't forget Ejim, I'm pretty sure he socked Niang in the mouth for trash talking in practice before,
Did you even read what I said? I specifically said we haven't played like it but if you look at our talent we are. Drake did play well but still had no business being close to us as evidenced by the what 21-4 run.
