I'm sure if Iowa wins their first 12 B10 games and everyone still says they suck we will all whine again that said we will probably lose at home to Nebraska on Tuesday lol

I really think a 2/3 seed is in play for Iowa if they take care of business. I'm projecting them to finish B1G play 15-3.

Yikes. I've got 12-6 or maybe 13-5. 15-3 would be sweet thought. If they could do that AND win the B10 tourney may even have an outside shot at a 1 seed. BUT let's beat Nebraska first lol

If Iowa were to go 15-3 in the B1G AND win the B1G tourney, Iowa projects out to be #1 in the RPI and #5 SOS with a 27-6 record. I would have to think that'd be enough to lock up a 1 seed.

on the other hand, 'safe' is for assholes, right?, DEPT...

lol. yah, probably - um, but not likely.
this stuff's a teeter-totter...
hubris on one end, humility on the other...
safest place for fans is straddling the middle.

IU is 2-0 on the road in the B1G without our second best scorer...natty on a platter.

 

[H2S]

SU.02.JAN following the OSU/ILL game during BTN interview of player Loving, was Thad Matta mouthing "Heisman" - like the bonehead Stanford guy after the Rose Bowl. Too funny.

 

[NDHoosier101]

James Blackmon is having surgery on his knee, again. They won't say how long he's out, but I'm assuming the best case scenario is we get him back for the tourney.

pretty good teams update article:

Big Ten shoot-around: Biggest surprise, concern for each

 

[NDHoosier101]

Home games without students blow. This crowd is fucking awful.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Gotta hand it to Robert Johnson, he's really figured out how to turn the ball over in a number of unique ways. At least he keeps it fresh, Yogi just runs out of bounds, it gets boring.

And yet the refs are still allowing your players to get away with murder.

Lol you were out shooting us at the free throw line 17 FTs to 2, I'm confident that's never happened before at Assembly Hall. Ever.

 

[NDHoosier101]

Man, that was frustrating. Feels good to be 3-0 though. Worst crowd I've ever heard in AH.

Good way to start that win streak vs Wisky.

Of course Nigel makes the three at the buzzer. We finish 4-16 on 3s, with 3-13 from Nigel Hayes and lose by one. This team needs to make a fucking shot. I love Showalter's drive, but it's time to get a guard who can provide points in the game via the jump shot.

Five more losses and we are sweating on the bubble. Six more and we are done. Does anybody see this team going 10-5 the rest of the way because I sure as hell don't. We had to win that one.

 

[Great Dayne]

and now the Badgers are one of the worst teams in the Big ten for basketball and might be one of the worst in football next year as well.

Badgers are miles from any bubble sweating dude lol.

Shame you only get the gophers once though. Cuz that's a free win.

Well after getting down 10-0 Iowa ended the first half on a 31-12 run. Still playing like shit but up 9 over Nebraska at the half

I see an 9-6 as a BEST case scenario for Wisco. Not going dancing this year, especially with 0 good nonconference wins

Another 25 pts, 8 boards and 5 block from Uthoff tonight. Kid is just beating out the last 9 or 10 games.
