**Maryland vs. Iowa - 2/19/19 - 7pm BTN**

[douglasbader]

Can make a statement and move closer to the #4 seed in the BTT.

 

[BBK]

Jerry Palm has us as a 4 seed in the tournament now, for what it's worth.

 

[Creed]

Jerry Palm does his research.

 

[BBK]

Can make a statement and move closer to the #4 seed in the BTT.

With 4 of its 6 remaining games on the road, Purdue isn't exactly in the barn at the 3 seed either, but they should still be able to pull it out.

With Michigan and Mich State playing each other twice, lots of things can move around.

 

[BBK]

You know, we win this game Tuesday, we will have the same overall record as Michigan State at 21-5.

Pretty amazing what this team has been able to accomplish this year.

Michigan has a really tough schedule down the stretch.

@ Minn
MSU
Neb
@ Maryland
@ MSU

They could easily lose 3 of those. If we can go 5-1 down the stretch, we own the tiebreaker.

 

[BBK]

Of course we would prefer to have the two round bye, but getting the 5 seed wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Get to pick up another win against a 12/13 seed in all likelihood.

I will be intoxicated and in attendance.

I don't disagree. Just trying not to be a pessimistic faggot.

2 game bye is a big advantage if you want to win the tournament.

I agreed, and agree.

 

[Harlan]

Hey @TH1974, big game. Gonna be there??!?!?!?!??!!? FUCKER!

Grow up.

Grow up.

I was going to offer to buy him a Michelob Ultra at OC beforehand.

 

[ivan_drago]

Snowstorm, so I’m out.

Have a few brews for me, Harlan.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I will already be in CR so snowstorm or not I’ll be there, likely overserved

 

[CamelTones]

Matchup wise, outside of MSU, Maryland is probably the worst matchup for Iowa. Athletic as fuck and actually good at basketball.

We all gotta die sometime red.

Uh, Purdue?

Don't think the snow is supposed to start until late Tuesday here. Hopefully it stays that way or pushes back a few hours.

 

[Fritz Fequiere]

Not the best matchup but I don’t see the hawks losing this one. Carver will be lit.

 

[26.2]

I am gonna go with what game strategy has been working lately-Iowa wins it by 1 at the buzzer. Garza this time.

 

[CamelTones]

Uh, Purdue?

Thought about Purdue but outside of Edwards they’re not as difficult for Iowa to matchup.

But Maryland is terrible on the road so it may be moot.

[Talkin' Goat]

And with that, every single Iowa fan has the same thoughts running through their head.

 

[Geese]

Seems bad lol

 

[BBK]

It would be us wouldn't it?

Or is this really our year?

 

[WCFHawkeye]

Yes.

I want to believe. I do I do I do.

 

[douglasbader]

Maryland basically plays 7 guys and has no real back up post players.

Get them in foul trouble and should have a great shot to win.

I hope we win

 

[hawkeyefan_2]

Get them in foul trouble and should have a great shot to win.

Hopefully we don’t actually need another great shot to win.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

Hopefully we kick their ass

 

[Mo T]

If this game is on TV, I will watch it after Wheel of Fortune.

 

[Berzerkenpas]

they come out like they did against michigan. better rotations, get maryland's bigs in foul trouble. double-digit win.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Shawnee is gonna put $250 on Maryland to win outright.

You’re welcome.

 

[Slidewilly]

I'll be there. Outside of @Wisconsin and the BTT, this game would be our best remaining chance for a nice bump in the ratings.

Ohio State is a better chance for a bump in the ratings.

Iowa -1.5

Free money

Hawks, big

 

[Greg Obrecht]

This isn’t entirely accurate. I have him at 2-32. He picked up 2 Top 25 wins on the road while coaching at Wichita St (LSU Syracuse). He is winless as a power conference coach playing ranked teams on the road.

I have no idea what is going on in Greg's avatar, but it kills me every time.

If I’m not at the Vine by 3 i am considering 2019 a complete failure.
