Yep....let me post this here in another thread....
That's why I love this game....for anybody watching Illini/PU.....PU had this game in control and for all purposes....won in regulation.....but nah....too easy and no drama to tell that story. Like yesterday's game but too more talented teams but it's college basketball at it's best. In OT now - 72-71 Illini and Kofi just fouled out....crazy game.

Pretty terrible "sets" by Purdue at end of regulation and OT. Too long to initiate and then settle for long contested jumpers. It's hard to win in the Big Ten!
That back up big man for illanoy is having a helluva a game considering who he's trying to match up against.

Watching both teams it appears that Iowa”s primary issue is guard play. Both Purdue and Illinois have some good guards. Makes a big difference.
Yes but to think both our games against Illinois and Purdue were winnable!
I think the Hawks' guards are sufficient. Biggest weakness is perimeter shooting, but solid defenders, take care of the ball, and can score when needed.

These guards can get off shots quickly or penetrate to the basket under control most of the time.
Hawks huge issue is interior post play.

We can all agree. Nebraska is bad! Lol.
Game of the year in the b1g? Both these teams probably finish top 3
Yep....great game and like Bardo said, there is going to be a lot of movement in the top 7 teams in the conference which includes Iowa....and with NW's win at MSU, you can't sleep on the other 7 teams either.......brutal.
And like the other poster said, to think both our games against Illinois and Purdue were winnable games...nobody predicted this before the season started.
High level ball with talent on both sides. Whether or not I like the teams, I do enjoy watching some of the best players competing in a hard fought game with incredible plays being made on both sides. For example I despise duke and am not a fan of unc, but when they put on one of their incredible shows with superior talent on both sides I'm absolutely watching for the entertainment value.
I have nothing against Purdue. Glad they won today in Champaign. But I do, and always will, hate Illinois. Glad Kofi fouled out with ten mighty points, and glad the Orange Crush went home with tears frozen to their little orange cheeks. Iowa gets the chance to match that to close the regular season. Wouldn't that be nice . . .
