I won't be participating in chat tonight. Sorry for the late notice.

KenPom has Ohio State’s offense ranked as the 29th best, and Iowa 30th. Ohio State’s D is 12th, Iowa 249th.

[Kamala]

I'll be at a Wild game, but if I'm in the concourse and see it on tv I will check out the score. As always, I'll keep you posted if circumstances change.

 

[Tugboat]

Who is bringing the lube?

 

[Hawkstrat]

Who is bringing the lube?

Zach.

 

[Herbie2]

Zach.

will he be at the game?

 

[The Game]

 

[douglasbader]

I read the Lestikow article finally on Zach bohannon.

Lol at everyone going "what a touching story!" and "great story!".

After reading that I think it is creepier than ever, or maybe flat out sad. Zach acts like he is fucking Samwise Gamgee helping Jordan trog through Middle Earth to throw the ring back into the fires of Mount Doom. HE NEEDS ME TO BE THERE FOR HIM!!

Yeah, dude, he's playing college basketball on a mid-level Power 5 program. I think he will be fine unless he is a tremendous pussy.

Sadly it appears that the family has raised the baby boy to be a coddled pussy sometimes.

 

[MoneyPit]

Who the fuck is Samwise Gamgee?

Edit: Googled it. Fuck you AZ. You're one of those weirdo trolls or whatever they are called.

 

[Hawkstrat]

The hero.

He hangs out with @FrodoTBaggin

 

[hawkeyealum]

I wish I could get media credentials for a press conference and ask questions like "coach since your zone d is complete shit and you constantly give up open 3s. Do you plan on getting some insight from other coaches at clinics bc you clearly can't teach proper rotations?"

 

[CamelTones]

Took Cook out in a close game after his second foul. Cooks finishes the game with 3 fouls. Game was never really in question after that.

 

[hawkeyealum]

And "I know you have a policy to sit players for the rest of a half if they have 2 fouls. Do you plan on adjusting that for your best players since you have complete garbage replacing them? Or do you plan on keeping with that method and just losing the game in the first half?"

 

[HiawathaHawk]

He already has several times in the last couple of weeks. Didn't tonight though.

Plus this game was 8 in the 2nd half and exploded with all the starters on the floor.

The actually weird thing is you taking issue with it and posting about it over and over. You are a creep, dude.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Fran sounded extremely dejected. Says Nunge has been coming. He was aggressive and physical, got low and got strong tonight. On the glass, passed it well, was terrific tonight. Otherwise just sounded depressed.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

There is just no depth. If Garza, Cook and bohannon aren’t all playing well they don’t have a chance. Dailey was not good today, Moss was meh, and the 3 spot continues to be a massive hole. Defense was ok until the 4 minute mark of the first half.

 

[CamelTones]

There’s depth, it’s just all at the 4-5 spots.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Sort of. The front court when cook went out in the first half was not good. There is potential.

I'm not following a teenage boy around and he is and somehow I am the creep.

Maybe there is hope for Brants yet.

He’s leaving.

 

[douglasbader]

Also, hi Zach!

Going back to a mid-major?

 

[Tugboat]

Who is bringing the lube?

Zach.

He didn’t bring enough.

 

[douglasbader]

Fran shouldn't be too dejected. Hang onto the core 4 players and that is all that matters. Wieskamp is coming, Baer will still be able to help and Connor will make a difference. Cut out the fat and grab a wing player or best defensive guard and Iowa will be right back.

They have a much easier final 3 games and every year some shitty underachieving team makes a run in the BTT.

Win 3 of the last 4 games (Indiana/Northwestern at home and Minnesota on the road) and a game or two in Madison Square Garden and end the year on a good note.

2008 was the last year a team higher than an 8 seed made the semis.

I don't mean that much of a run. Win 2 games gets you to the quarters, right?

 

[douglasbader]

Nebrantska in 2016 was the #11 seed and won 2 games against Rutgers and Wisconsin and then lost to Maryland in the quarters.

Penn State in 2015 was the #13 seed and beat Nebrantska and Iowa and then lost to Purdue in the quarters.

Something like that.

If he's leaving, Gary Barta better not be making the next hire considering his hires fucking blow.

Fran has been a great hire you fair weather shit stain.

Peak Doug.

 

[Hawkstrat]

Easy peasy

 

[douglasbader]

Peak Doug.

They are currently favored in 2 of 3 of those games and a 4 point underdog on the road at Minnesota. Likely will be favored in the first round of the BTT.

 

[Tugboat]

Maybe Iowa will surge at the end of the year instead of falling off? It could happen.

 

[douglasbader]

It's totally weird to think they might win 3 games they are favored in, another game they are going to maybe be a 2 point underdog in by the time it happens and another game that might be a 2 or 3 point underdog.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

How about we just win the whole fuckin’ thing?

 

[Herbie2]

It's totally weird to think they might win 3 games they are favored in, another game they are going to maybe be a 2 point underdog in by the time it happens and another game that might be a 2 or 3 point underdog.

yes, it is very weird to imagine this team winning 5 straight games against teams that for the most part are as good as them.

 

[Saul Berkley]

Kreiner and Wagner need to be told to leave or not given any minutes. Both are useless.

 

[Hawk_Kegmasters]

Hopefully Wagner and Ellingson are on track to be grad transfers and can leave to a smaller school closer to home where they can get more PT. I’m fine with having Kriener around another year to see what happens.

Kriener needs to be told he won’t see meaningful minutes until he is better, but I agree.
