[Greg Obrecht]

Gus at his best imo. Great game too.

 

[Uff Da]

Iowa #22 in Kenpom, with losses to #12 and #2 on the road

He’s awesome and @Billy Butters is a massive faggot

I love McCollum but this quote of yours and some others that you have made in a similar vein will always crack me up. What's he got up his sleeve!!!!

He's one of the best coaches in the country and we are making the tournament with a bunch of boys from the MVC. I also understand that he has some roster limitations and we may look silly on some nights. Quit being a faggot, Feltch.

I’m anxious to see what McCollum might have up his sleeve for this one. Breslin is a different animal, especially when they’re really good as they appear to be.

I also wonder when’s the last time he was on the losing end of a blowout.

Man you really nailed him

[L. Wade Childress]

I would like to see a composite of all the different composite rankings.

Against atrocious DHO defense by a mid-major? Agree

You've been trying really hard lately.

Didn't we hear multiple times (maybe from Settles?) that Hausen "lit up" Iowa State in Ames for 30+ or something? I looked for that and found no such game, only where he had 15 in a 19 point win at Iowa State last year.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Are you suggesting that Jess settles anecdotes may become embellished over the years?

In his defense, it felt like 30. I definitely don't remember it being just 15 points with 9 of them on free throws. That was a game worth blocking from my memory though.

Howard had 7 steals tonight, 2 short of the record held by Kenyon Murray and Acie

 

[TurdBurgler]

I was in attendance for this ass kicking. 55 point win, held them to under 40. Folgieras was outstanding. This team is pretty good.

Howard is the type of player that is underrated but ends up being hated by opposing fans.

 

[CamelTones]

I don’t care how shitty the other team is, Iowas defense hardly gives up any easy looks. 90% of the shots are either rushed or contested.

He dribbles like a 6th grader, but I really like his game. Athletics, aggressive, and knows how to score

Fuck off.

Like McCollum but the insistence of playing Bennett crazy minutes is weird.

glad they could pull out the W yesterday with him only playing 32 minutes.

They’ve been resting him strategically the last few games.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

I'm sure in conference play in games they're up comfortably they'll get him rest spots. Mccollum won't fuck this up.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Trust the process

You're 3 games behind now. Great job, sport.

LOL at "strategically."

 

[AZmessDAWG]

LOL at "strategically."

Why are you taking issue with that?

 

[Fletch]

Not sure

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Why are you taking issue with that?

He played 40 minutes against the clowns, much of that involved him standing there or getting physically dominated because he was exhausted as well as white.

They "strategically" backed off his minutes in the following two games they won by a combined 95 points.

Very strategic.

My point exactly

 

[Jim Tebow]

Combs and howard are precisely the guards weve been coveting at iowa for 20+ years. Athletic and capable defensively, though 5-10% lower than ideal wrt three point shooting. I love them. Like, REALLY love them and would do what it takes to make them welcome at iowa.

Fuck off Jimbo

You should try to get their autograph.

Combs is playing the Mon’ter Glasper role.

Call me a retard if you must, but this team also feels less likely to shit the bed in the first round.
