I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

Give Fran a little credit, hoks are shutting down the Purdue 3 Machine

Not sure the most effective way to do that is to let them score at will inside but they don't have many 3s

That’s the one thing that drove me nuts when we played them (other than a couple scrubs that were stuck on automatic). I’ve seen it over and over again in the last couple years. If you take all the open threes, and aren’t hitting, you are letting them off the hook for all the easy twos you could have gotten.

Will 8 conference wins get Iowa into the Tourney?

HawkeyeNation is pure gold right now!!

Ooh, I better run over there!

Read the title of this and just had to chime in. The sooner the better!

Not sure why they care, they got their lucky dog bowl game win. They should still be basking in the glow of that impressive performance.

Doesn't matter they won't win 8.

Their tournament wins aren't as impressive in hindsight. Blowing us out at home will end up being a top 3 win for them. They need ISU to get better with all our pieces playing, and people think they blew out ISU at full strength.

Watching Purdue dismantle IU shows me we arent quite at the top 20 level we want to be at yet on either side of the ball. Purdue is exploiting every weakness on both sides we just arent there yet. Hopefully we do soon though, the talent is there.

Or Iowa played way better vs. ISU. THT and Shayok scored plenty and Cook was allowed to shove his way to the basket. You also don't see Baer launching 3s from 6 feet behind the arc.

It was truly a sight to see Isiah Moss be Klay Thompson on us. I’m gonna go out on quite the limb and say that Isiah Moss doesn’t show up again until he plays in Hilton next year.

Starting 0-3 in conference to own the Clones

They might beat Minnesota if they mistake them for our colors.

From HN:

"Barta Barta he’s are man, if he can’t lock down a mediocre coach no one can!"

Iowa can't pay their contractors, so I hope they enjoy Fran for years to come!!

Iowa always has trouble with Minnesota. They’re always more athletic. Look what Rutgers did to Iowa last year just based off athleticism

With 20 conference games? Um. No.

Will 8 conference wins get Iowa into the Tourney?

No way 8-12 gets them in. I think 9-11 is a stretch.

 

[kentkel]

Holy crap, 3 horrendous calls in a row by the officiating crew - against the home team! Hoks got lucky on that sequence!

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

With 20 conference games? Um. No.

Then Iowa isn’t a tourney team this year yet again. I only see them getting 8 wins at most in conference.

 

[madguy30]

Seems like if they're not allowed to shove their way around and force fouls and actually play basketball they're not effective.

 

[madguy30]

Yes Cook, when you shove someone around, it's a foul. Shocking.

 

[herbicide]

If they'd shot like this against us, we'd won walking away.
