**Purdue vs. Iowa Basketball Thread - 12/22/20 - 8:00pm - BTN**

[douglasbader]

Time to pay these fucks back for last year.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Sucks to be purdue

 

[douglasbader]

Not to piss @castichawk24 off and look ahead too far, but Iowa has 8 mediocre/shitty teams mixed in with a game @Rutgers and a game at home against Michigan State in the next 10 games.

They can/should be no worse than 8-2 over that stretch. I think they can realistically be 9-1 and 15-2 going into the Illinois game.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

This one has me a little nervous. Coming off the hype of today and Painter has had our number recently.

Sure, but Iowa’s also going to regress to the mean from outside.

Fuck that. They will destroy Purdue.

 

[Mo T]

Iowa by 10

 

[douglasbader]

Iowa is going to win this one by 15+

 

[Squat Cobbler]

I’m a little nervous too. Painter knows exactly what to do against Fran. Ultimately we’re playing at home so I expect us to outshoot them.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

 

[FatNTired]

Our 7th grade coach played us this after a particularly bad game. It was more likely more effective for us than that Indiana team.

 

[The Tin Man]

 

[Floyd R]

Purdue will be tougher than some fans may think. They're a solid team and Painter seems to have Fran's number. Iowa by 6 Tuesday.

 

[brantshawks]

Garza thinks the number that Painter has of Frans is irrelevant and can fuck right off.

Stupid

Last four haven’t been pretty. Time to put an end to that.

3/3/20 - Purdue 77-68 in IC
2/5/20 - Purdue 104-68 in WL
1/3/19 - Purdue 86-70 in WL
1/20/18 - Purdue 87-64 in IC

The 2018 game was brutal. Chris Street reunion and everything was awesome about that weekend other than the game. Down 51-20 at halftime. Woof.

that was the worst. Good lesson for the kids.

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Iowa -6

 

[Revolver]

Painter has had Iowa’s number in the past, but I don’t really think any of that matters. This is a different team than we have ever had under Fran. They’ll be ready and I think they’re a lock to cover that -6 personally.

 

[MikeyJoe]

At this point I’m just happy that the games are getting played, but it’s a real shame that this Iowa team doesn’t get the full advantage of playing before home fans.

 

[Squat Cobbler]

The Big Ten is a meat grinder for all teams even Iowa.

 

[RiotFan]

I fully expect Stefanovic to make at least 7 3’s and keep this game close.

 

[Shawneemicks]

Purdue big

 

[26.2]

Iowa squeaks this one out

 

[HawkBall23]

I hate that you're probably right.

And fuck that hair-thinning 47-yo lookalike.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Iowa -8 155.5

This could be an NBA game on the scoreboard if Iowa's shooting percentages are at their normal rates and PU shoots the ball as if their life depends on it like last year.

the odds of Purdue shooting that well again are under 51% but over 49%

 

[Shawneemicks]

Purdue out rebounding their opponents by almost 10. Purdue is going in deep tonight.

Shut the fuck up. North Carolina was out rebounding their opponents by like +15 and how did that turn out?

that turned out great for the Iowa Hawkeyes Doug. Thanks for pointing that out. Please don’t leave the board!

 

[Mo T]

Purdue in BB = Northwestern in FB

I'm excited to turn that around for a few years.

This is a huge game.

For me a piece of the regular season title is the goal of the year. So many good Hawkeye teams, players, and near misses make 1979 such an irritating fact. Good start is available with the schedule but an immediate slip up at home would be .... shitty and a bad omen.

Hyperbole of course, but I'm almost happy they lost to the Zags. Undefeated Natty would've been nice, but unlikely to win em all and humbled and hungry can be good for college kid's performance.

Luka shut out against the Boilers, beat by an average of 20 the last 4 games. He'll be the driving force early and then JBo and the boys make it rain.

Bet the over, Hawks roll.

I don't mean to sound contrarian, but I do actually wish Iowa had beaten the #1 team in the country.

 

[BillyBob]

I agree that an undefeated Natty would have been nice.

 

[Judge Kemp]

I agree that an undefeated Natty would have been nice.

That it presupposes a Big Ten regular season championship and a Big Ten tournament win is just icing on the cake.

 

[LifelongHawk]

No hyperbole for you!

 

[Brad Wesley]

Quiet for a game day. Get excited fellas!!!

 

[LifelongHawk]

I'm so pumped for this game I read Hlas.

Masochist

 

[L. Wade Childress]

I do not feel good about this game whatsoever.

 

[douglasbader]

Fuck yes. Blowout win for the Hawkeyes coming, boyz.

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Purdue 86
Iowa 84

The Joe T needs to start chatter intensifies.

 

[douglasbader]

Lol. I mean, it's fucking basketball but it took one fucking loss to the #1 team and here we go with the freaking out.

 

[douglasbader]

Iowa had a much worse team, wasn't nearly as deep and was constantly banged up and short handed last year.

Even with that, they lost 2 games at home. 2 games the entire season.

 

[Orestes]

Lol. I mean, it's fucking basketball but it took one fucking loss to the #1 team and here we go with the freaking out.

I think it may be that people have a bad feeling about Purdue. I, in the other hand, have no sense of time with regards to basketball and feel as though we’re just coming off that year we beat them twice in two weeks with the Uthoff and the Poker, so I am absurdly confident about this game.

The fans willed them to victory
