The Cyclones are forcing turnovers and scoring a few in the paint but I'm running with the Maize and Blue tonight.

McGary in and looking decent for missing so much time. That steal and drive to basket was vintage McGary.

looks to me like the kid's playing at 50%...tentative. can't say as I blame him...nothing scarier than back problems.

A bit tentative after he chased that ball out of bounds. Before that he was playing hard albeit out of shape.

Horford is playing like a 10 year old school girl under the rim. He needs to step up his game or Morgan needs to fill the void, while McGary gets his bearings.

ISU continues to force TOs and score in the paint. That needs to come to a screeching halt or Michigan will have to resort to 3s all night.

just got upgraded to GA cause no one ended up showing up cause of tornado warnings, pussies.

IU up 41-35 at half. We'd be blowing them out if we actually made our free throws. Shooting 54% from the line.

So why do they keep adding teams to D1 basketball? there are already too many teams and loads have zero chance to compete.

Relevant because Abilene Christian is D1 now and getting trounced 85-31 by Iowa

Some horseshit fouls being called in Ames...both ways. .

I can't wait for league play so these teams can play without the BS...most of it at least.

Big 10 refs are competent?

That's pathetic. I haven't looked at Iowa's schedule but I hope they play "somebody" OOC.

These fugging fouls. Seriously??

Iowas toughest OOC games are Xavier, Notre Dame and Iowa State

once the teams adjust it will get better. it's gonna be rough for a while though. i don't necessarily think it's a bad change though. give it a while before writing it off as a bad change.

One game in a hostile environment. I've seen worse but they won't be truly battle tested before they play at the Kohl Center.

LOL...yah...all those pestiferous cupcakes in ooc play...

Coppin State, Iowa State, #4Duke, Stanford, Long Beach State, #6Zona (just another ho-hum ooc schedule.)

And ND just got crushed by Indiana St. Looking like a down year.

we can only hope. I did note -during a recent IU game- that Eddie (lemme disrupt the entire game to be a dickass ref) Hightower is retiring 12DEC. That should up the B1G's competence level right there.
