I had this as a big Iowa win before the season. Virginia just isn’t good offensively. Iowa is gonna win big but that’s whatever. We will know far more after they play at #2 Purdue and host Illinois before coming to Ames.

It's going to be a tough one but Virginia doesn't look good.

Keegan Murray's averaging 25+? Wow. He has two very smooth finishes so far.

Yeah…. this is probably his last year at Iowa. It’s amazing what he has done….. going from a high school senior that nobody wanted to a two and done guy. Crazy.

Yea not liking what I’m seeing. Think Iowa will be trouble for us.


People were saying that about Xavier and Memphis. And remember Navy beat them by 8 and Houston beat VA by 20 and it wasn't that close. And like I posted in a previous thread:

Memphis-90 NC Central-59

Iowa-86 NC Central-69

First half thoughts -
Iowa is still a work in progress in the defensive side - Virginia missed a lot of open shots.
Iowa is good - as usuall - on the offensive-end.

Did people not think Iowa was gonna be trouble for us the whole time up until now? If not it’s your own fault for not thinking they’d be tough regardless of how we look right now. I love how some see one half against a very bad offense and think they’re world beaters for some reason. Next two games for them will be much more of a gauge. Hang with Purdue on the road and upset Illinois then yeah they’re probably good. But even if that happens I like our chances. #eternaloptimist

Probably a first rounder right now could maybe crack top 20.

Forgot. I’m still trash talking the tavernhawks about those. They’d gladly trade a couple FB or BB wins to get just one CC win against us. Domination!
You know the dark ages have arrived if TOE gets us in XC
