It's not really the big tens schedule. Plenty of teams play those dates most importantly the Saturday's. What you're describing is the big tens schedule for Iowa. We eat last with the bottom feeders. It's disrespectful because we've been better than the other teams that typically play their weekend home games on Sunday. For all the Sunday games we never get a home CBS game either

If your coach and fake tough guys didn't embarrass the Little ten and the state with their thuggish behavior and Francon moments maybe they wouldn't try to hide the trash.

Add to that the fact that just like football they play favorites and let you avoid the big dogs as much as possible, then you are left with a bunch of games against dog **** teams that have no business sniffing a CBS slot.

Well obviously Gary Barta puts his n*** on the Big 10 table demands a home and home with Nebraska, Minny, the other dwarves and gets it but I still think the Hawks need to be showcased on CBS Mike

Iowa and Nebraska are the trailer park of the Big 10.

I've been to Lincoln a few times and say what you will about football ethics and the demographic, but the are light years ahead of hawk fans. I've been treated very well in Lincoln including the 7 fumble game just before they bolted. I was even invited into the husker donor tailgate facility.

Never had a single good time in iowa city. If Nebby fans are the trailer park IC is the leach pit cess pool they drain into. I have lots of hawk friends and family but will never go to IC again. It isn't worth it.

Hok fans are the bottom of the Biffy after a long day of tailgating at the Jack!

If you told me Iowa went into Columbus, shot 45% overall, shot 48% from three hitting 11 of them, had a reasonable 14 turnovers on the road, shot 86% from the line, and Murray would have 20+ I would have said that's a W.

But they lost by SIXTEEN and gave up 93?!

Iowa final record should be 18 - 13. Conference 10 - 10. Probably an 8/9 seed. Unless the Fran Fade kicks in. But they have a good chance to avoid that with an upcoming 3-game homestand. I would think their fans would consider this a successful season at 18 - 13.

They will freak if they are a first round exit again

I don’t think they’ll get in at 18-13.

If they're 8/9 from going .500 in that conference then college basketball is just really down. Which imo it is.

I had the Iowa game up on one of the other TVs I had but I didn’t pay attention to the overall game. From what I did see though was Iowa’s defense was just atrocious.

I was just thinking this.

Depends who they beat and who they lose to. But 10-10 in conf would have them square on bubble line and looking at more a 10/11 seed than a 8/9 seed...

They def have to beat Minnesota twice..cannot lose either of those bc both would be Q3 loss.

Edit: In any other year 18-13 for Iowa would not get them in...but PAC and ACC is so god awful this year that someone has to get in.

That Eastern Illinois loss may be an anchor that drags them down to the NIT this year.

I think they'll play it and if I were to guess the date, it'll be Tuesday, January 31. Iowa has a break that week from 1/29 to 2/4 and Northwestern has a break from 1/29 to 2/2.
I’d just like to point out that I nailed this make up date for Iowa. If they’d like to hire me for AD duties I’d gladly decline
