***Championship Week Thread***

Tough to beat a team 3 times in one season...

If you're worried about Iowa losing to Wisconsin tomorrow then maybe Iowa doesn't deserve to be on the 2 line. Iowa is a much better team then Wisconsin is and proved it twice and even though Wisconsin made a game of it last week there's a reason that every team that played yesterday lost, and the highest seed in every game won. As some on here have already stated....fook em!
 
They said on the BTN postgame that Wisconsin just shot their highest percentage from 3 in their entire conference play. They beat the 11 seed by one. While I hope the players are locked in, this frankly isn’t a game I’m super worried about

This.

Wisconsin is the easiest team to make runs on. And then balloon & protect a lead, because unless they're unconscious with the 3balls, they're style of play is so slow and deliberate, despite the score or time of game.
 
I would really like to see Iowa crank up the heat and run these guys out of the stadium tonight...3/4-full court trapping d....and relentless push on offense
Edit: mainly because it frustrates me to watch Wisconsin bring every team down to their level and try to club them over the head like they do...need to dictate the pace of play to them.

I am nervous about this game. If wis shoots the 3ball like this against the Hawks, Potts will kill us inside/outside.
Badgers have the senior-laden team that feel the end is near; a desperate team is like a cornered wounded animal...be ready ,Hawkeyes!

Somebody get me the BTN brass on the phone. I could have had Gaudin and Morris on the call, but I've got to put up with Kuegler and Bardo - not only for an Illinois game - but Iowa's too!?

BOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
 
I've seen some weird "WTH is that!?" things in my 40+ years of life, but Ayo Dosunmu's hair has to rank up there on that list.
 
Yo Rutgers, letting a team like IU get up early and burn themselves out will work for you.... ILL is on a different level. Might wanna wake up soon.
 
Iowa is gonna have to be careful tonight. If they lose, I could see Okie State getting up to the 2 line. Houston is going to win and Bama and OSU already won.
 
Cade Cunningham is absolutely insane for a freshman, and OKSt is one of the scariest teams in the country heading into the Dance
 
IMO, no way Oklahoma St is awarded a 2-seed - if a team like Iowa were to lose tonight. It'd be setting a bad precedent.

OkSt is only getting in to the Big Dance this year because they are challenging the ruling about being ineligible for this year's Tournament.

Aren't they being allowed to play in the tournament this year while they're appealing a post season ban? Pretty convenient they have Cunningham for this one year. How many other teams are in the same boat? Kansas?

Yep. Basically appeal your sanctions until you have a down year then accept them. That’s SOP for sanctioned schools these days
