Yep….it doesn’t take much to get motivated when ISU fans post on a Hawkeye board….but the fact stands that Wisconsin wasn’t at full strength…. And believe me, I despise Wisconsin.
Iowa has contacted 6’10” Osun Osunniyi. He's a 2X Defensive Player of the Year in the A-10
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Not true with their PG….he played well in most games….one bad half is the anomaly.
Brockington had a bad game, 4 -15, Hunter was 1 - 10, and we still beat the BIG co-champ in their own backyard. My god, give it up. You’re embarrassing yourself.
The guy's name is Chucky,.. how good could he actually be?
No, the embarrassing thing is you making excuses for ISU’s 4th sweet 16 ( under 4 different coaches) since IA’s last sweet 16. I’m sure you’d say ISU lucked out every time. Give it up.
Again, they can only beat the teams on the schedule. If you expect me to be bummed about about a Sweet 16 run it isn't going to happen.
Iowa didn't face a team with a pulse and still didn't win. It can certainly happen.
Well, if we had played Iowa twice, we still would have made the Sweet 16. But then, I guess Iowa didn’t have a pulse because they lost to a much lower ranked team in round one….. 😮🤭😮
The team Iowa played just won their conference tourney. They were on a roll, not down because their head coach got fired or because their star was playing on one leg.
They were the 6th place team in the A10, and they got absolutely obliterated by 28 points by Providence in the next game. Were they down in the next game? Did a player get hurt? Did Richmond fire their coach between the games?
Richmond was the #84 team per the NET, ISU didn't lose to a team ranked that low all season.
They did lose to a poor 15-15 Oklahoma State by 17 points......
NET Ranked #45, KenPom #34, ranked higher than every team in the A10, Q2 loss and one of ISU's worst of the season. Correct.
And Iowa was a net #14..........so, it's all matchups and how a team is playing on a particular day. Comparative scores don't mean a lot......I just threw the info out there as it seems like that's kind of the conversation that was going on.
Dude - give it a rest. You look desperate to find excuses as to why Iowa State won a tournament game.
A road game in college hoops is worth about 3 points on KenPom; losing 1 player that averages 7ppg is worth less than 1 point. Wisconsin still had an advantage and couldn't pull it off.
ISU fans coming to an Iowa board….that’s the motivation you might consider. I respect what ISU has done in recent history with their basketball program…. But find it ridiculous that their overzealous fans show up here after finally getting a win against the Hawks.
