I am a fan of all information. I'd prefer it to be accurate, but these are weird times.

Fuck that shit. I want 100% accurate insider information. Heads should be rolling for this false information. I can't believe the mods are allowing L Wade to still post here.

What a dumb fuck. Maybe if he actually went to a game in IC he could pick up some decent intel.

Definitely need to win vs Illinois at home. The following 4 games are going to be a tough, physical stretch.

Michigan State
@ Minnesota (taking two boys to the game)
Michigan
@ Indiana

This Big 10 looks rugged again this year. At least we get Rutgers twice and Northwestern at home before the regular season is over.

6 of the next 9 games at home should be a huge help.

It wouldn't be a shock to see them beat Illinois and then lose 4 in a row, but think they can get 1 or 2 of those games.

After that they have a great stretch of 3 of 4 games at home and Northwestern / Rutgers in that mix.

The lineup that ended the game played exceptional, came from behind, faught off a run with a slop 3, and then won the game

Good breakdown on our offense this year: https://www.bigtengeeks.com/the-post-lives-on-in-iowa/

It was beautiful watching this tonight with Kreiner and Garza tearing Penn State apart with that big to big action.

They are deep from a skill set perspective and while Kriener is going to make boneheaded mistakes, he has a knack for making plays on offense. Really nice to have your back up 5 able to shoot the 3 with consistency. He's 36% on the year. Never seen a guy more excited to play offense hands flailing and all; his defense is unreliable and he is often late getting back. As a back up 5, I'm glad to have him and he has a comparable skill set on the offensive end to Garza. So when Garza goes out, there isn't usually a huge drop off at the 5 on offense. I kinda liked the lineup when he was paired next to Garza tonight. I actually think Garza's style pairs better with Kriener than Cook. Cook can't pull defenders off the block so it stays crowded underneath. Kriener at least pulls out defenders and it opens the lane up and vice versa.

Kakert has a tremendous natural instinct for news. Mostly fake news...

If Moss keeps at it we may have all five starters in double figures. That's a really good omen of a team that is tough out offensively down the stretch. Continue to improve of defense/consistency and there is reason to be optimistc. I look at our starting five and am like "okay yeah that is pretty salty". Then Baer is pretty ideal as 12-15 minutes a game as sub. Kreiner is up and down but getting there. Would like to see a little more offensive threat out of Connor and Dailey is Dailey but it looks to me on paper like a really good college team in this era.

Athletic guards penetrating will continue to be our achilles heel but beyond that not a lot of weaknesses and we may legit be able to runs Fran's ideal offense and flat out - out score a lot of people.

This is my favorite team since Doctor Tom. There's so much to like and because of the Pemsl and Nunge redshirts, Fran has been forced to shorten that rotation. I can't underscore how much a shorter rotation has helped on the defensive end so people can get into a rhythm of working with one another.

Moss is seeing the court on a whole nother level right now, making good cuts, passes, good shot selection. He is playing about as well the last couple as Marble was at his best. That plus Wieskamp and bohannon are both lights out from 3, plus Baer, Garza, Dailey & Kreiner can all hit out there with a decent %. And we are a post dominated team!

I remember Purdue ran us out of the gym exactly like this last year - where it didn't matter how well Ill played they were losing this game.

Moss is figuring out he can be a dominant player without trying too hard to be a dominant player. He is a huge factor to the team's success, as most other teams won't have the ability to concentrate on shutting him down with their attention on Cook. If they do, it means huge opportunities for Garza, bohannon, Wieskamp.
