Blowout in East Lansig

This will pay huge benefits come tournament selection time. Not that I expect us to be on the bubble, but it could mean the difference between a 2-3 seed, versus a 4-5 seed.
 
If you were to see the numbers (score) with a team name in front - How many would say MSU won?

Hawks are really impressive. Congrats on another big win.

I was really impressed with how tough your players played in the second half when MSU started playing it's typical mugging defense and the refs started swallowing the whistle. Your guys kept fighting. That first half was a thing of offensive beauty.

Now, you'll just have to calm down the crazies in your fanbase who will overreact when the Hawks inevitably drop a couple games coming up like the Clones have been doing of late. Both are really good teams that are capable of deep March runs.

Stay positive and I hope you make it to DSM for the NCAA regional. That would be cool since the Clones can't go. I, for one, am pulling for the Hawks to win the B1G. Hope you get it done.
 
And well they should be. Iowa has done it the old fashioned way: They've earned it.

Yes, that sound you heard was jaws hitting the floor around the country from the performance of this Hawkeye team tonight.

The rebound margin in the Hawks favor. If we control our defense boards we will be tough to beat.
 
So mike plays 4 minutes in the first half and JU is 5 for 18.....and we win by 17....hell of a win.

By the way where did Uhl go the second half? He had a hell of a first half. I hardly remember him on the floor in the second half.

Great team win guys
 
A couple of weeks ago, I said that this could be McCaffery's best offensive team. They put pressure on opposing defenses in so many ways.

I don't think there's any question about that.

This is the best offensive team Iowa has had in decades.
 
On the post-game, Izzo said he thought that Fran might have hit a three in the first half, because it seemed like everyone else did. He also said that Clemmons,"not a good shooter," hit a couple big threes as well. Tough shit, Tommy.

There is a part of me that loves you for finding this, but the part of me that had those NCAA Tourney tickets in hand is so mad at you for making me relive the frustration that I had as they team faded. The game at PSU is the one that started my downfall that season... ugh! :)
 
Hoping for some reverse magic tonight.

I felt good about the Hawks' chances to pull off a win in WL and they proceeded to get their doors blown off.

I feel like the Hawks' chances tonight are very low of winning, so........................??
 
I vividly remember them relaxing off Uthoff 3 feet past NBA range and the kid just says, ok I'll shoot it then. Swishes it right in front of Izzo.

I'm looking back at my own comment about it being Frans best offensive team.

Sure doesn't seem that way now but the first half of that season Jok and Uthoff were both really good.
 
I’d be happy as long as they don’t get their doors blown off cuz the metrics would be ok then. Losing by 20+ again is my fear.
