So I guess we beat Iowa. That was fun

It seemed like everytime the camera zoomed in on Freeman he looked winded, almost like he has asthma.?
They’re just soft. It’s clear our strength and conditioning program has us in “game shape” earlier than other teams.
It obviously helps that we’re a legitimate 9-10 deep and Iowa is obviously not. Our depth and versatility has been discussed here a lot (as it should) but could very well be be the reason this ends up being our best team ever. Maybe not the best stars (Tinsley + Fizer will probably wear that crown for awhile) and Fred’s late teams/Steves early teams obviously had the most NBA talent. But we’re as good for 40 minutes regardless of substitutions as we’ve ever been and can match any number of match-ups the other team wants to play with.
Was apparent in the Iowa game and was very apparent in Maui watching in person. That Auburn game was as intense of a basketball game as I’ve seen. Both mentally and physically. We got stronger as the game went on against Dayton <24 hours later and then same with Colorado <16 hours after that.
Iowa game was similar in that they faded down the stretch and we were getting stronger.
He provides very little meaningful commentary on Iowa State, it's mostly stupid sh*t like the uniforms and fan attendance and whether the field is too slippery.

They went almost a whole year talking about placenta. You should know at this point what you are getting yourself into when you listen to 2 Guys.
Do people actually listen to 2 Guys for meaningful ISU commentary? Did the CF podcasts disappear from your feed?
I can’t believe people don’t realize this is all scripted.
You think Hassel just chose to show up late to the show without telling CW ahead of time? They 100% had a production meeting and scripted all that out, including the trolling he did at the start.

It’s pretty easy to tell. It gets some people every single time. IE is like every other media company, get as many clicks as possible.
Both of these things can be simultaneously true:
(i) It's scripted and intended to attract clicks/engagements, not necessarily provide informative commentary
(ii) Hassel's act is stupid/obnoxious

Agreed that it’s obviously scripted and that Hassel has intentionally been trolling our fan base. I just wish Williams would return the favor.
Full game's up on Thomas Ornesse's YT channel.
I'm OK with missing it live but on the other hand it was really clear that Iowa was selling out for the win and maybe catching it live would be less painful to watch vs. checking the box score.
They were even pressuring the arc a bit on D and that's just not Franny ball from what I've ever seen.

I knew we were winning when I saw Freeman at the line trying to catch his breath. Banked in a FT and the next time he missed both. I knew it was over then.
Pretty silly that Iowa fans think he should have made those when Iowa, a 66% FT team was 11/11 when he stepped to the line tied at 74 74
I also think it’s hilarious when people say “Iowa went cold from 3” like the defensive intensity didn’t have anything to do with their missing 3s in the 2nd half.
I probably wouldn't on first look. But, if you could guarantee that we'd be 100% healthy going into the postseason at 25-6, I'd probably sign up for that.
Pa Sandfort was 2-7 from three in 2nd half
NCAA Statistics
Notice that Dix, Thelwell both played 20:00 in 2nd half. Pa Sandfort did all but 0:13. Dembele went 3-3 with 4 rebounds in 9:56 of 1st half, so only played 4:22 in 2nd half . . . .??

Team Rankings has the same projection. At Houston is the only game we are dogs, but
Haslametrics only has a couple of games within 2 possessions. @KU, @Tech, @AZ but us winning them all. I don't know if I would go that far. We might slip up a couple of times (but it sure would be cool not to).
