**** Iowa

ImJustKCClone said:
ISU has had ice cold games. Indiana State and Cincy for example. Cincy is a much better defensive team, but it's certainly possible. Naz still ain't right. Massey ratings have ISU with a 66% chance to win, which really would make an Iowa win not entirely unlikely.

That said, this is a game ISU absolutely needs to have. I think they are at genuine risk of not making the tourney if they don't beat Iowa, because they would only have 1 decent win in the noncon. ISU doesn't have a strong noncon like they have in the past.


Is he trying to prop Iowa up as a "decent win"?

I don't know I wouldn't doubt it he panders to the hok fans pretty hard under the guise of being the "level-headed ISU fan". I have a different word for what that is. Maybe he just saw the "big 12 is down this year! hype" before the season and latched on to it. RPI/non-con won't be an issue again in this conference. Maybe for seeding but there is no "genuine risk" of missing the tournament based on this game. The conference season will decide our fate just like it always does.

No Niang this year has to be good for Iowa.

NBA reference says hes 4/27 in FGs to start his career. That can't be right for one of the best offensive players in Big 12 history.

Uthoff's NBA numbers must be way better, since he was a late first round draft pick and all...wait, what?

Edit: KCCICLone beat me to it

If "this is a game ISU absolutely needs to have" what does that say about how much iowa needs this one to make the tourney? At least ISU will play someone in conference...

I think it implies Iowa has already given up on the tourney.

Beating Iowa will mean nothing to our tourney chances. Iowa is around 250-300 RPI team at best.

I was perusing HR to see what they were saying, noticed this gem. Is this our very own hokBryce? aka BryceC? He's really going all in on us missing the tourney stuff it's almost like he wants it to happen

Yup. And losing this game would make it a distinct possibility, which is why it's so important.

Have you seen the strength of the Big 12 so far? Our RPI is going to be strong. I do find it funny Jon Miller writes an article calling out people for being dumb to think this team would be good and an "ISU fan" like yourself predicted them to make the tourney. Lol

Agreed, beating them does nothing but losing hurts.
