Iowa wins this game if CMac isn't playing. Zero minutes. He sucks. His dad is the coach and enjoys watching him run up and down the court for 30 minutes while contributing absolutely nothing. When he"s playing it's as though we're playing 4 on 5.
Most who know the game of basketball at least a little realize the value Connor brings.
Haha what? Iowa wins this game if Connor isn't playing? Priceless hot take.
Iowa was the hottest team in the conference going in to today. They are vastly better than Nebraska and just beat them by 10 on the road. Iowa will be fine.
Are you disputing that Iowa hadn’t been the hottest team? We lost by two points to a good Illinois team. Fact is Iowa is much better than Nebraska and Nebraska still only has 9 total wins on the year. I prefer to look at it as other teams don’t want to play Iowa.
I hope you guys are right, but Nebraska's "NCAA Tourney" is this coming week, so I'm expecting them to try and keep their momentum rolling.
Sure they are. Last I checked Nebraska has four conference wins and ten overall. I like Iowa’s chances in that matchup. Might note that NW won big today and is very capable of beating Nebraska.
If you think either one of those games are going to be easy, you are kidding yourself. I think Northwestern would be the easier matchup for Iowa. Nebraska plays a lot of iso ball with their guards and Iowa can struggle to keep the ball in front of them. One bad shooting game or guys get in foul trouble, season can be over in a hurry.
Should be noted that Wisconsin lost their best player early in the second half. Don’t think they lose if Davis plays the entire game.
I know they did and they probably do, but if Wisconsin is so much better than Nebraska according to Polkhawk, they should still win that game at home.
If the NCAA is serious about putting the best possible product on the court, then they need to clean this up. This kind of street fight that has become all too common is exactly what’s made the NBA so unwatchable. If this was the kind of thing I wanted to see, I may as well go into downtown Baltimore at night and watch for free.
Did it to Perkins in first half too.
The NBA did clean up its act. There is freedom of movement, no rewarding of flopping and no bailing out the offense by calling blocking fouls when the offense just runs into defenders going nowhere.
We started the game up 15 with him as a starter. Did you know that?
Weird we didn’t see posts like this often over the past month, wonder what changed…
Other conferences do a far better job at this than the Big 10. There is no way Cockburn will get away with the crap he was pulling against Iowa in the NCAA tourney. It's the Big 10 that needs to fix this because I'm convinced it is a big part of the reason Big 10 teams do so poorly in the tournament. They have to play a different game and they end up playing poorly because of it.
Rotations would have been totally different if Patrick would have played. In regards to Nebraska, they were without their best player, B. McGowens the whole game and then his brother was ejected.
