Fun tidbits

The Hawkeyes are 16-2 when Fredrick plays a full game.

And do you like or dislike JBO’s confidence in these next few games? I do I just hope they can deliver...


“We're kind of fighting with them for a spot that we believe that we still deserve, a 1 seed,” senior guard Jordan Bohannon said. “… From my perspective, it’s going to be a lock for us to get a 1 seed if we win both of these games. That’s the kind of opportunity we have ahead of us, but we have to take care of Michigan first and do what we can to try to stop that team.”


I like his enthusiasm a lot even know he’s been hot/cold I like his killer instinct he brings and having Frederick back in somewhat full strength gives Iowa its best weapons available, not sure how Michigan’s defense is good bad or ugly whatever too lazy to look that stat up but I like our chances especially with no crowds it doesn’t make a huge difference if we play at home or away the way the Hawks have been lighting it up lately and actually playing pretty good defense... can you imagine if Iowa had (let’s use Wisconsin’s defense) even though it wasn’t great by Iowa but if you take Iowa’s offense and Wisconsin’s defense you would have the ultimate team to defeat nation wide... fun to dream a bit but these kids can play defense and they need to wrap it all together these final games and win out and carry that rhythm through the BT Tournament as well as the Big DANCE

He speaks his mind openly, that's for sure. It is kind of refreshing because I don't think he gives a shit if the media or fans get pissed at him for saying it, win or lose. That's part of the reason why I don't feel compelled to hold back when I'm critical of him. I'd be less harsh toward someone who might believe the same notions but kept it to himself and his team. He's not afraid to take the heat and that's a good quality.

Toughest game of the year along with Zags.
Hope he can lead HAWKS to a victory.
If they swept these last 4 games and won the BTT they would earn #1 seed. Tall task.

Confidence/High goals are good, but you have to deliver. Even if they play fantastic, they might rack up two losses at Michigan and OSU if those teams are shooting the lights out.. Iowa unfortunately doesn't have
the defense to dictate to the other team how they shoot.

Neither does OSU and the last one was anyone's game up to the last couple of seconds.

Yeah, why doesn't anyone knock OSU on the defensive front? They also don't play anyone taller than 6'8''. That's going to limit how far they can go in the NCAAs I think. We'll see.

Agree ER ... Iowa should put Garza and Bungee Nunge in the middle to clog the he middle but then we give up the guard play as we need JT to be playing MORE BALL.. as he’s a wizard on the floor and actually Dude has some good shooting at times .. IDK.. these next 2 games are going to be tough ones I would be happy with a split between them and starting tonight BY KICKING UM’s PART TIME BASKETBALL TEAM INTO NEXT YEAR... we need this signature win and I know Iowa has all the tools to beat these bozos
