#25 Ohio State @ #13 Iowa

[Texas Jefe]

Come on Iowa, don't let it slip away from ya.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Craft had a great game and shut down Marble. Very hard to do.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Iowa will need a couple 3s to fall if they want the W.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think he wants to suck Craft off

 

[brandonk989]

Oh man. Craft was absolutely moving on that inbound before the timeout. Horrible missed call by the refs.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Trading FG attempts for FT attempts won't cut it this late and down by 8. Sink your 3s Iowa.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Oh man. Craft was absolutely moving on that inbound before the timeout. Horrible missed call by the refs.

Yup, he walked.

 

[MI Nightmare]

I highly doubt Iowa loses two straight at home. Damnit.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Good game guys.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Good game guys.

The Nuts look much more determined now than they did two weeks ago.

 

[LoftonPack80]

Maybe Iowa just isn't as good as we have been led to believe

Three straight*

That'll be tough as #% $! for Michigan on Saturday.

"They lack toughness," per Dakich...

Iowa fans?

 

[wingsauce7]

NO MENTAL TOUGHNESS. FUCKING FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT HAWKS.

 

[wingsauce7]

And it doesn't help that your 2 for 100 on WIDE OPEN 3 looks.

Iowa can't beat any good teams, but doesn't lose to anybody bad. If this were to continue look for them to be an 8-10 seed in the tournament. I think they are now 5-6 against the top 100. Their resume is very very questionable at this point.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I think Iowas problem is they don't have a true go to guy. They have a lot of really solid players but no real "man".

The good thing for them is they are always in every game. It is never a blowout. So while the closing out these games leaves something to be desired, come march the best you can ask for is a chance.

the preseason AP and Coaches Poll had:
#2/2 Michigan St
#7/9 Michigan
#10/11 Ohio St
#20/21 Wisconsin
#24/28 Indiana
#29/30 Iowa

the preseason Big Ten poll had
1. MICHIGAN STATE (Unanimous selections in ALL CAPS)
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State
(that is all they listed)

Iowa has been overachieving based on expectations.

vs. Ohio St they went 1-1 and didn't get blown out or anything tonite

tip your hat to them, they are a scrappy bunch

Iowa fans?

We lack shooters. Not toughness. Cant miss open shot after open shot and shoot 63% from the line. No reason this team should be shooting that many 3's in a game anyway. 14 3's in the first 22 minutes??? Thats fucking garbage. Just lazy play.

Actually 8-6 but still not impressive either way. Need some more quality wins for sure.
