[PersianHawk]

Didn’t think we were going to win this game, LG missed a lot of easy shots, we didn’t get many good looks at the basket, especially 3 pointers, JT is getting worse by the game, the injuries to JN and CM were terrible, I think we’ll lose the next game too .... but .... I still think Iowa would be a very tough team to prep for in the Dance and I think we will to do very well in the tourney. 🙏🙏

 

[TheRealHerky]

I don’t think we would win, but I didnt expect to see Garza get worked by not one but two bigs better than him, and a dogshit effort from the rest of the team In the second half.

!st Half 😃
2nd Half 💩

He missed many chip shots. Not a good night for anyone.

I think we are all holding out hope you are right about the tourney in order to salvage this season

60% chance for loss at OSU. Get to Saturday game in BTT and lose. Get to sweet16 in NCAA tourney and lose.
Not a bad season, but disappointing given Garza on team.

I don't. This team is wearing down.

This is pretty much the way I see it. I really need to see IA to get to the sweet 16. It’s been a very long time.

The last time Iowa made it to the Sweet 16 I was a senior in high school.

This summer I turn 40.

Me too.

Osu is no where near the defensive team UM is.

I personally would put that at 80% chance of Iowa losing at OSU. Nunge is probably done

Michigan proved that defense wins games Their 7' 1"
center had the ability to block out Garza. Their guards
did not give Bohannon, Wieskamp or Fredrick a chance
to get in the groove from the 3 point la

Garza scores l6 pts. Bohannon scores 13. Wieskamp has 11.
for 40 points out of team total of 57. Our Bench scored
8 points.......Offense went cold in second half. Fredrick had
9 pts.in first half and scoreless in second half.

 

[Auger]

This team really lacks a true PG right now. Not bashing Bohannon because he is asked to play a position that he is not best suited for. Iowa had 4 assists tonight and 0 by Bohannon. More athletic backcourts are bottling up the Iowa offense right now and we lack the PG to break through. Michigan is impressive. They were able to defend Garza 1 on 1. They had the guys to take Weiskamp out of the game and had the backcourt to shut down the point of attack.

Iowa really needs CJ to hunt for shots more. Start thinking score instead of pass. Outside of Garza and Weiskamp, CJ is the most efficient scorer on this team.

You were not born the last time Iowa won a share of the Big Ten title (1979), nor when Iowa last made the Final Four (1980). You were also too young to remember much about Iowa’s last Elite 8 appearance (1987).

I had you pegged at 60 to 70 with the way you act like you know everything on the HROT board. LoL.

 

[kcgolfer]

Without Nunge, our tournament hopes take a nosedive. No way we can play with only one big. Nice year. Not a great year.

You have a good point. They’ll probably play Luka more minutes, and when he’s out, play the 6 8 and 6 9 guys, with three guards and two forwards. In 2015 Woodbury was our only center. In 2016-2017 we really didn’t have a center. Tyler Cook was more of a forward. So, we have been here before.

I saw four sweet sixteens in a nine year period. Fun times. 1980-1988. Could easily been a couple more.

My parents were married on March 22, 1980. A lot of attendees were in cars listening to the radio before rushing in to the church.

Last year, my dad watched Iowa and Louisville for the first time thanks to YouTube.

Without Jack everything going forward is going to be tough...

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

Gonna have to rely on CMac if he is healthy to play the 3/4 with Luka as well as Murray. Joe W gonna have to crash the boards more to help out these guys too. Gotta see better rebounding from all of them not named Murray.

We are a better match up bs osu. They don’t have an answer for Luka. Michigan does. Not sure why people can’t see this. We are right there with Illinois as the second best team in the BT

Obviously not Iowa fanatics...

 

[NevadaHawk]

Rather amusing to read the comments in this thread given how well we played today against OSU.

 

[PersianHawk]

Obviously not Iowa fanatics...

I guess I am an Iowa fanatic in some ways. I have been out of school for 20 years, and I don’t live in Iowa, and I have plenty of other schools and professional teams to follow in my city, but I still watch every Iowa game, and I yell at the TV when we miss a shot, and just between us, I rewatch the games we win, this time in an unemotional state..... So, that must make me some sort of a fanatic. No?! 😂 I really didn’t think we could win that game, but I’m sooooooooo thrilled we did.
