**Iowa Men’s Basketball vs UMASS-Lowell Monday Dec 29th @ 4 PM on BTN**

[Herbie2]

I feel like CBM enjoys kicking the shit out these lesser teams more than most, so while it might not be enjoyable, it should be fun to watch.

We will not be doing this.

Lowell was my favorite character on Wings.

 

[Herbie2]

Oh, great. Jess Settles is on the call.

 

[Herbie2]

The River Hawks appear to be bad at dribbling the basketball.

 

[HerkyHopeful]

It appears McCollum likes to have the team go to manyawu early.

 

[Gushawk]

The ball screen defense is so very much better, and for that I am
thankful.

 

[Verbal]

A good decision when the opposition clearly cannot stop him.

Banks must be hurt. Guy went from hitting his head on the rim at the start of the year to barely getting off the ground.

Today’s the first day I looked at the number of staff members sitting on the bench on the sideline…Dougs right, it looks ridiculous for a sport that has 5 guys playing at a time.

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Almost EVERY game we've played this year is boring as shit.

Ole Miss and Iowa State are the only two games that were competitive.

13 games in and barely anything of note happened other than getting ref fucked against Iowa State.

No offensive to @AZmessDAWG, but this is gay.

It's absolutely fucking insane. I'm now fixated on it for every single game I watch. Teams now are averaging 20+ staff & support members at each game. Michigan State has 22 tonight from my quick count. In a shocking development, Cornell only seems to have 8 or even as little as 6 in this game, which is all you actually need.

I even went back and looked at games from the 1980's - 2010's and the number of staff from then to now is absurd. It's harder to identify the staff in older games because they wore regular street clothes / suits, but by my count....

Jan. 2nd, 2018 - Michigan (11) vs. Iowa (12)

Feb. 4th, 2006 - Michigan (10) vs. Iowa (11)

Jan. 28th, 1993 - Iowa (7) vs. Michigan State (8)

Feb. 12th, 1983 - Same 7 or 8 per team.

I have good news for you, starting Saturday most every game should be interesting on some level.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

What do.they all even do

 

[StinkyMcFadden]

Yes. I know. This has been horrible, though. No one has enjoyed any of it other than the initial early season shock that we were trying on defense.

It's been like a HS team playing against an 8th grade team.

 

[douglasbader]

@CamelTones looking at multiple mid-low major games and they consistently only have 8-10 at most. UNC-Wilmington at North Carolina A&T and both are at 8 each.

 

[CamelTones]

I don’t understand why they were all sitting on the bench instead of the row behind it. Hausen basically sits in the tunnel during games.

 

[douglasbader]

I have no idea, especially since many high level programs are all using auto-tracking of player stats and movement anyways. I'm convinced it's all made up bullshit to have this many staff members, it's giving people jobs just because other schools did it first and they feel like they have to keep up.

 

[douglasbader]

NBA is the same way, you will have the front row at 8-10 deep in coaches before you even get to the first player, and then all the players are sitting at the extreme end of the bench, almost in the tunnel or on the baseline.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Tuning into UNC - Wilmington vs North Carolina A & T to count staff members on the bench is some deranged shit. Love it.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

And seems like a good gig if you can get it, tbh.

I admit I checked in on Iowas former bag man to see what he is doing.

It’s just another reason why donating to these bloated orgs is absurd.

Former Iowa assistant Billy Taylor is the head coach. He hired both Seibert and Courtney Eldridge off of last years Iowa staff. Also has Darius Stokes as an assistant.

I’ll be rooting for the Phoenix the rest of the way.

 

[TJones3312]

You even get to add Austin Rivers to the bench if you’re watching a game on peacock. Can’t believe they are still doing this.

Interesting. For some reason, I thought Fran took Eldridge with him to Penn but I just looked and Spurlock is the one that went with him.

Quick little CSB. Sold that guy a suit when I was working at Mens Warehouse in college. The 115 lb African in house tailor was talking so much shit about how big the jacket was after big AL left.

Which for this team was probably the best schedule. Not sure scheduling tougher preseason opponents would have been the right move.

But yes, pretty boring.

 

[Shawneemicks]

I’m a CBM fan. His team plays hard & aren’t full of pussies. They’re likely a bubble-ish type team in year 1. I actually think next year might be more difficult for him

I'm actually a little surprised an egomaniac like Elon Musk hasn't yet bankrolled Elon athletics and turned them into a football/basketball powerhouse.

We need to have an autocorrect feature for this nonsense.

He's going to be able to throw a bag and unlimited playing time at a transfer portal pg. I'm not too worried.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

They’re not going to be on the bubble.

 

[Revolver]

Be careful. I get that they are 18th in KenPom and ranked in both polls, but Shawnee knows ball.

Per Torvik 98.6% chance to make tourney with average seed of 5.9

I will say again, you're the very worst poster on this site. Worse than Cleety. Worse than Rolo. Not even remotely an Iowa fan and always have the dumbest fucking things to say.

You should cut your own tiny cock off and feed it to a squirrel.

If anything it’s pessimistic. I have them at 50%

I'm not sure playing three patsies in a row is good preparation for the Big Ten schedule.

I think CBM will have them ready for the tourney in ways CFM didn't...so it will be fun to see what happens.
