Really love that Hawkeye W. I know Syracuse is garbage but playing with 7.5 guys on the road and winning... love it.
Cmac is growing on me every game.. and Garza may go down as one of my all time favorites.

Fran's teams have typically been high scoring and defensively challenged. Lack of athleticism and all, ya know.
This year, however, it seems that may be reversing a little, but I haven't studied the numbers.
Jim Bohiem needs to go. He's still playing a zone down 15 with 5 minutes to go and never came out of it or pressed when trailing big...

I am 100 percent confident that Iowa is the best team in the country that starts an all-caucasian starting 5.

Kenpom has Iowa at #38.
6th in offensive efficiency and 105th in defensive efficiency. So it's pretty much the same as always.
It's not like we haven't worked hard to recruit black players and I heard our next 5 recruits are all black ( or at least " Obama " blackI am 100 percent confident that Iowa is the best team in the country that starts an all-caucasian starting 5.
) It seems once we land black players many of them stay here and raise their kids here, eventually we'll be starting the offspring of past players...

I couldn't watch that one. Izzo and Ratface are the 2 coaches I most enjoy watching lose and it was guaranteed that one of them was going to win.
I don't really mind Izzo. Roy Williams has a pretty good record against ol' Tommy Boy! Now, Shuh-shef-skee is another story altogether!
The 8-6 W/L record isn't really telling the story here.
All 8 of the BT wins were basically blowouts.
4 of the ACC wins were blowouts (including MSU loss, which even though 'only' a 12 pt loss, they were never in that game)
1 ACC win was close until the end (Pitt/Rutgers) - close meaning <10 pt difference in the waning minutes; Rutgers got within 6 or 7 pts there, but not a nailbiter by any stretch
1 ACC win was basically a tossup (2pt Miami/Illinois); that game was a blowout, but Illinois mounted a major comeback and got within 1 pt with about 1 min left.
BT dominated in every win they had. If you added up the point differentials, the BT outscored the ACC by 91 points. That is a LOT for a mere +2 win differential.
Purdue +29
OSU +25
Penn St +22
Maryland +21
NW +18
MN +18
Indiana +16
Iowa +14
Illinois -2
Rutgers -11
MSU -12
Michigan -15
Wisconsin -15
Nebraska -17
In the past, the BT hasn't had the top-tier teams the ACC has had, but better top/bottom teams overall. This year, it looks like the BT has both.

The thirst to divide us remains strong.
