**Official BTT (4) Rutgers vs (5) Iowa Game Thread Friday 1:00 PM BTN**

[Creed]

Hot damn. That was beautiful. Those first 5 minutes had me worried but they started getting stops and that led to the offense and pace to get going.

I wanted another crack at those buttfuckers from illinois but the draw versus indiana is so much better. Hopefully Purdue loses on the other side.

 

[Thanksgiving Dinner]

Paul Mulcahy is a chinless fuck goddamn shitbag. I'm not really a fan, if I'm being totally honest

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

 

[fuisu98]

Keegan is a top 5 pick. Tony playing well. The Serb is making plays. LFG.

Connor learned to shoot. No pets heads falling off here

 

[Jim]

MVP- Rutger’s strength coach

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Keegan is unreal. Luka will always be my favorite just because of his sheer will, determination and toughness. Wasn't gifted with anything but the best hands of any Hawkeye player ever but Keegan is something else. NBA all star in less than 3-4 years, I'd bet. He's that special.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

I enjoyed the whole sequence where Boroski T’d and tossed the Rutgers assistant and the dude just up and left right away

 

[The Tin Man]

Good on Fran for switching to the zone. It was the difference in the game.

 

[maintain242001]

No way in hell did I see Murray doing All American type shit this year. Hell I figured if he was a good role player the scholarship would be worth it

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

I love everything about Tony's game. I'm an old school mid-range kind of guy and I love watching that dude operate.

 

[CUIHAWK]

We are good. No doubt about it.

 

[Westside Ray Ray]

Fuckin love this team. Please sweet baby Jesus let them make it to the second weekend.

Second weekend? Shiiiiiit, we’re breaking the restraints and going to the Final Fucking Four.

Hawk, Hawk, Hawk!

 

[BBK]

Fran can coach his ass off. He deserves a lot of credit

 

[Creed]

What a dumbass. From 1/6:

I pretty much dislike every player on the team not named Murray.

 

[brantshawks]

Anyone catch what fuck head coach said to get tossed?

 

[Billy Butters]

It's amazing how many college coaches don't know how to lose. It doesn't make your team tough to press down by 14 with 30 seconds left. In fact it makes you a faggot.

 

[Westside Ray Ray]

Statue on the Ped Mall this fall after winning the natty next month.

Great times. Enjoy the ride.

I try my best!

 

[Saul Berkley]

The perimeter defense is so much better with Perkins in the lineup.

 

[CUIHAWK]

Just want to reiterate how close that that camera was to Fran’s face.

 

[KitKatApples]

Seriously fuck Rutgers and that garbage fuckin style of basketball they play. Bunch of bundles of sticks

 

[Saul Berkley]

Just want to reiterate how close that that camera was to Fran’s face.

I could see all his wrinkles and pores. He's looking old haha

 

[KitKatApples]

But otherwise FUCK YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Billy Butters]

The perimeter defense is so much better with Perkins in the lineup.

There really isn't alot he doesn't do well. He rebounds well, he's a pretty good passer and has a pretty diverse game on offense. Perimeter shooting is probably the only thing you can point to and I think that was more of a result of not getting in a rhythm early in the year due to Fran's line changes.

 

[BBK]

Seriously fuck Rutgers and that garbage fuckin style of basketball they play. Bunch of bundles of sticks

They are good though. But yeah half them mfers lookin like Sideshow Bob

 

[Billy Butters]

They aren't that good. They're basically Iowa St.

Such bullshit. Especially when Fran always goes so far to run out the clock and never run anything up. "We don't stop until the whistle blows!" Fuck off. Could've gotten someone hurt diving like a spaz down 10 at the buzzer.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

I love everything about Tony's game. I'm an old school mid-range kind of guy and I love watching that dude operate.

Absolutely. He's a throwback in a lot of ways. Knocking down his 3's the last couple weeks too.

 

[douglasbader]

Looking at it more, I think from the Rutgers view it was more of a fuck you to the refs and not Iowa.

 

[BBK]

They aren't that good. They're basically Iowa St.

very wrong.

Wins at Wisconsin, at Indiana, v. Illinois. Iowa State wouldnt have done that.

They are much better because Omoruyi has come on.

Thats a good win.

 

[Westside Ray Ray]

 

[Saul Berkley]

Also, I would say this win probably solidifies at least a 6 seed in the NCAA tourney. One more win and I think a 5 seed is likely.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

JBo is the Rusty Staub of Iowa

 

[Talkin' Goat]

Hopefully up to a legit 5 seed now. Definitely nice to be out of the 7-10 seed.

 

[Westside Ray Ray]

I do hope Rutgers makes the tourney.

 

[BBK]

I think a 5 is locked in homey

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

That dude is a freak athlete.

 

[Jim]

Rutgers is 77 in NET. They aren’t “good”.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Fuck that.

 

[douglasbader]

Fuck that, this locked a 5 and another win and good showing in the championship game gets them a 4 seed.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I am done watching the hawks and eating wings.

 

[BBK]

That dude is a freak athlete.

That is the first guy I would take from another Big Ten team on this Iowa team.

Imagine that fuck in our offense? Jesus.

 

[The Tin Man]

Mulcahy can die in a fire. Twice trying to injure Kris. Grabbing his ankle while on the ground after a rebound and then that bullshit at the end diving at his legs.

 

[Billy Butters]

very wrong.

Wins at Wisconsin, at Indiana, v. Illinois. Iowa State wouldnt have done that.

They are much better because Omoruyi has come on.

Thats a good win.

ISU has more quad 1 wins. I like Omoruyi too but they surround him with a bunch of non shooters. They're both fucking terrible to watch.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Also, I would say this win probably solidifies at least a 6 seed in the NCAA tourney. One more win and I think a 5 seed is likely.

Lunardi had us three away from 4 a before today.

 

[BBK]

Rutgers is 77 in NET. They aren’t “good”.

Being weighed down by the early season.

Trust your eyes. They are better than a lot of teams which are locks to be in.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

If they win the BTT, is the ceiling a 4?

 

[Lee Beevers]

The two quad 3 losses with the quad 4 loss makes Rutgers resume kinda gross. I still think they’re in the field as a 9 or 10 seed and not really on the bubble, but I’m a real big dipshit.

 

[nikolausp]

Iowa wins the rebound battle today again.... 34-28
