To who? Tevaun was out and the "other Smith" seemed completely lost. Vandeberg and our TEs are basically slower possession receivers so without Tevaun we have no real deep threats. Need to see more play actions where CJB rolls out and has the option to run or throw, that will open things up for...
A lot of folks, me included, rarely post here any more. I would attribute that mostly to the dork factor. When one guy does nothing but post on this board all day, every day, often times with conversations to himself, it sort of diminishes the experience here. If you don't know who I'm talking...
I think Iowa can beat anyone and can lose to anyone. But I think that loss to PSU stung a little and hopefully this week they've shored up that zone offense and can figure out how to score. I say Iowa to the Elite Eight this year.
That was Iowa's best win of the season last night, imho. Indiana just kept coming at them and with every run Iowa squashed it with a big shot or a key steal/block. Even Joke came on at the end to hit two big 3s to end mini Indiana runs. NW is actually beating some good teams now so I don't think...
But is that really how it is? Really? I've heard that rumor for years but i've never seen anything in writing one way or the other or even any first or second hand accounts of being given prime seating assignments based on donations to the school. Plus, to me many of the white-hairs in the primo...
Watched a few minutes of the ISU/WV game this weekend and maybe this is like saying the sky is blue; however, it is SHOCKING to me what a better home environment Hilton is vs. Carver. Extremely loud/boisterous crowd, people actually (gasp) standing and cheering, a good student...
Now I stand by my Jekyl and Hyde analogy. Great one game, absolutely terrible the next. We're officially on the bubble and probably on the outside looking in after this bad loss.
Everyone seems scared to attack the basket, not sure if that's a function of their offense, Fran's strategy or the...
You might be right, but when I say jekyl and hyde it just seems like on certain games we can look so good (ie. Maryland) and other games we look like a bunch of high schoolers (ie. Wisconsin). I don't expect Iowa to beat Wisconsin but I would expect them to play much better than they did...
Yeah, hard to stay positive on this Jekyl and Hyde team. One game they can look like a top 10 team, the next game they can look like a Div II team. Michigan was/is downright terrible, that string of air balls at the end of the first half was embarrassingly bad. Let's see how Iowa fares again...
I don't think Oglesby ever HAD a shot to be honest. I think his first year was the anomaly, he's just not a very good basketball player and seriously can't shoot.
Very Troy Skinner-ish.
No, I'm beginning to think Iowa will never win a national championship in either football or basketball in my lifetime. Iowa would have lost to OSU by 40+ this season had they played.
I knew it after the first few possessions in the 2nd half - Iowa turnover, MSU dunk, Iowa missed shot, MSU 3, Iowa missed shot, MSU 3. We still had the lead but I could see where it was heading. Izzo, imho, is the best coach on the planet with Bellichek and Coach K 2nd and 3rd. He got in the...
