**2021-2022 Iowa Basketball Season Thread**

[HerkyHopeful]

Hope Joe T gets back to where he should be at with his free throws so we don't have to relive the Gesell years of pissing away games with missed free throws.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Let’s start with falling down for no reason first.

I remember pissing away games by never ever making a game winning shot during the MG years. Lots of times note even getting a shot off at all on the last possession.

That was the worst. Not even a fucking shot off...

I don't get the negative Rebraca stuff. A different type of player, but he's a serviceable Nunge replacement.

Like he’s really good at being injured?

He looked decent on offense but I’m not sure how you claim he played good D and her definitely didn’t crash any boards.

I think people are just used to seeing Luka set up shop. Mich, Purdue and Illinois are also going to be serious mismatches.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Ha ha more Iowa fan cluelessness

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

I mean, it’s not like Luka was some defensive menace. He was a big body that was pretty good at getting himself into good position on defense down low. It’s more of a matter of who is going to grab those defensive rebounds that Luka and Wieskamp swallowed up.

 

[SuperHans]

Ha ha more Iowa fan cluelessness

you watch last night?

 

[CleteyColgate]

you watch last night?

Every analyst said the starters played well together

Well when you tune in keep an eye on Rebraca on the glass.

 

[douglasbader]

Well when you tune in keep an eye on Rebraca on the glass.

It was one fucking game, his first at Iowa.

 

[wondergrape]

Yeah, I'm not as worried about Rebraca as I am perimeter shooting.

 

[douglasbader]

Everyone here seems super WORRIED!!!!

Shut the fuck up.

 

[wondergrape]

Everyone here seems super WORRIED!!!!

Shut the fuck up.

Oh fuck off. It's not like we aren't saying anything that's not grounded in reality and you know it. You can be excited about a team without being delusional and jizzing in your pants.

I don't know, pretty WORRIED!! over here.

It isn't what you are saying, it is the douchebag annoying way you are saying it.

Yeah I’m not saying it won’t get better. I was merely mocking Leistikow’s constant ball licking.

Oh yes, that ball liker Leistikow.

For fuck's sake.

Shut the fuck up.

"Everyone" is a jackass.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Yeah, I'm not as worried about Rebraca as I am perimeter shooting.

What do I do if my two biggest concerns are post defense and perimeter shooting?

 

[Hawk&Balls]

HMB is playing at Tuesdays DH. Was cool having them at VB on Friday.

[HiawathaHawk]

I’ll be very happy if this team makes the tournament. Somewhere between 17-21 wins seems pretty likely to me and given the SOS, they probably need 20+ to make it. I’m surprised KenPom and Sagarin both have them preseason top 25.

 

[CleteyColgate]

The only perimeter shooter Iowa lost was Wieskamp. Fredrick and Nunge couldn't stay on the floor. And now we have Sandfort

 

[TurdBurgler]

Garza shot a few 3s too if I remember right.

 

[CleteyColgate]

Garza shot a few 3s too if I remember right.

That's true

 

[Squat Cobbler]

We lost over 150 made threes from last year at about a .450 clip. It’s laughable that you think Sandfort is going to fill that void.

Doesn't count because Garza is tall and CJ got hurt.

could happen

I’m rooting for him to go for it

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Sandfort is literally one of the best high school shooters I’ve ever seen. It’s just a matter of shot attempts.

Literally

We get it NLP you like Sandfort

Settle down, Fran.

I’ll blow everyone on this board if my 95% 3pt projection isn’t accurate.

At what point will Calipari reach out to him?

What’s the best spot to find single game tickets? Going through the university and the seats are shitty.

My wife wants me to pickup 4 for western illinois as a Christmas give to our kids and I got to think that’ll have plenty available.

Is this a serious question?

You should consider the possibility that your wife posed this question to you as a very simple test of your ability to successfully raise her children.

While I’m receiving well deserved ridicule, I was on Ticketmaster and vivid but didn’t know of any particular website being “best.” A lot of the seats seemed shitty and if I’m going to get shitty seats, I might as well buy through the ticket office. Was just wondering if there was a different/better path.

you're buying shitty seats for a shitty game. Buy whatever is cheapest so you can buy shitty beer.

 

[Fletch]

Do you think Western Illinois fans look at Iowa (Keegan) like we look at Kentucky (Ulis). Rabid fan base, those Leathernecks.

They are playing a shitty opponent mid-week over Christmas break, and you're going to buy tickets through the ticket office? Is this your first live sports event? You can get great seats for cheap as fuck on the secondary market.
