Okay yeah I get it but also I don't know how much I love shit talking about 22 point losses.
Win out for a 3 seed? Are you a fucking moron?Win out for the 3 seed. Let’s go
watWin out for the 3 seed. Let’s go
He’s talking about the Big Ten tournamentWin out for a 3 seed? Are you a fucking moron?
See above. He’s talking about the Big Ten tournament. Iowa can’t do any better than the number 3 seed
Absolutely. beat Wis, NEB and one win to the semis of the BTT and Iowa is a stone cold lock for a 2 seed.Win out, and as long as we dont lay a turd in the BTT, we are a 2.
Defense up to 59 on kenpom
He should’ve fucking said that!!!!He’s talking about the Big Ten tournament
I can fap to this.Absolutely. beat Wis, NEB and one win to the semis of the BTT and Iowa is a stone cold lock for a 2 seed.
No "might have" about it. That's him at his best. Lock the fuck up on D, don't try to do too much on offense. He was fantastic.Considering opponent and location, might have been Joe T's best game of the year.
Why would FAB bow this?
"He played him more in the game he played well!" No shit. He didn't play him as much in the game he had 3 turnovers in 5 minutes.Isn’t it strange that Fran played Joe T more minutes when he didn’t get play like an idiot. It’s almost like he rides the hot player/lineup.
@BPredict I think.Why would FAB bow this?
GFYGlad luka played well.
And now we dance!
Suck my dick, America!Iowa gonna win.
Right now they certainly are. Baylor isn't themselves after 8 dudes got Covid and didn't do shit during their pause. Gonzaga is right there but Michigan at their best is better in my opinion. Very similar but Michigan is the worst matchup for us in the country. Timme can't do to Luka what Dickinson did. And they're slightly more athletic in other spots. We still played them even for 25 minutes, then it all got away. Good news is we should be a 2 or 3 now and likely not in their region.After watching Michigan the last few games they look like the best team in the country by a lot.
And Kris came in as the better athlete with a higher vert and better defensive reputation. I read through some of Kenyon's posts and articles on them this morning. Kris was better guarding 1-3 and more of a slasher but interior offensive game. He was also thought to be the better rebounder. Keegan the better shooter, little stronger and able to guard inside better. Added 4 inches to his vert since arriving at Iowa according to Kenyan.350 division 1 head coaches did not offer Keegan Murray a scholarship. There are 351 division 1 teams.
Defense up to 59 on kenpom
Defense up to #59!!!
Fucking @Fletch all over it.You gotta be fast if you want to be the top KenPom nerd on the board.
He assumed this board wasn’t full of retards. Sadly, it is.He should’ve fucking said that!!!!
You can't cherry pick stuff like this so this feels very CF-ish but if you excluded the one 4-game stretch where they lost their minds and Fran went zone the majority of the time, I'd guess they'd be top 40. They were 68 through 14 games, then jumped from 131 to 59 in the past 7 games.Defense up to 59 on kenpom
You better not forget to start the next game thread or there will be consequencesGod that was fucking awesome.
S’all good, man.
And off of this.... while the record is 1-3 vs said teams, Iowa has played 3 of the 4 projected #1 seeds (currently - at least before this game). And only 1 of those 4 matchups was in Iowa City.1-1 vs (projected) #1s this week, both on the road. Lost @ the 2nd best overall team - after keeping pace for 27+ minutes - and won big @ the 4th best overall team.
I'll take it.
IU home game we fell apart and probably was deserved and needed. The fluke shooting of Brandon Johnson in the Minnesota game was absurd and the only way we lose that game, along with missed FT's. Minnesota game also skewed the defensive numbers a bit because we were okay until they went nuts the last 6-7 minutes from 3.I know it works both ways and you could say something similar about the road Rutgers game but fuck it would be nice to have the Minnesota and 2 Indiana games back.
One fucking step at a time you bastardsHe should’ve fucking said that!!!!
No.One fucking step at a time you bastards
You could tell that Brandon Johnson was a bum during the game, but holy shit I didn’t realize how much of a fluke that was. He’s made 11 threes in conference games and fucking 8 of them came in one game against Iowa. If you take away that game against Iowa (I know, I know), he is 3-30 in conference games. What the fuck?!?!?IU home game we fell apart and probably was deserved and needed.

The 2nd IU game I'm still not entirely sure how we lost other than we didn't have CJ and Luka started missing late and we went 11-30 from 2. Jordan, Jack, Patrick, Ulis, Toussaint went 0-10 from 2. Shot well from 3, shot well from the line. Didn't rebound all that well but that was the biggest weakness.
The odds an otherwise 10 percent shooter goes 8 for fucking 9 are so absurdly bad it was inevitable it would happen to us and cost us a game.You could tell that Brandon Johnson was a bum during the game, but holy shit I didn’t realize how much of a fluke that was.

Just another coach that doesn't understand this is the time to rest your guys. If it cost you 3 or 4 spots on the seed line so be it.I will say Ohio State looked like a tired team. Hopefully the week off let’s them regroup so they can give the Illini a nice fucking.
