I think the best we can do is tie with Illinois and they hold the tie breaker on that.
We are better than we showed against Mich but we would have to play more JT and Keegan to compete. Their defense made it impossible for Jbo to get us in offense.
Me too. It makes me even happier than seeing Ohio State lose, and that's saying a lot.
Never had a doubt about this game today.
And now to finish off the reg. season with 2 home wins (over the Shuckers and Pissconsin) and it'll be onto the BTT with the 2 or 3 seed, baby!!!

OH State lost to MI at OH State and they stayed at #4. Iowa loses at MI but KILLS OH State at OH State, dominating them much moreso than MI. I see Iowa taking a jump up this week.
I guess I am still living in an idealist world. In my world the idealists won. What does your world say?
JT gives Iowa much-needed quickness/athleticism on the perimeter. I think that if they'd had that against Michigan, it could have been a different story. Going forward, I hope they figure that out.
Joe's mistakes this game weren't careless mistakes, they were good attempts that OH State just defended well. No dribbling out of bounds or out-of-control drives, Joe T played a very good game. Possible his best of the year. I hope he can keep it up because Iowa needs and should count on that from him.
He'd love to Joe needs to play like today and he will.
That was a solid win and should help more than the Michigan loss for our seeding. Hence the week is somewhat net positive. Love to recover that tOSU home loss.
A Sweet 16 finish is in Iowa's future if the boys maintain this level of intensity. The defensive trend line has been pretty positive.
Two very winnable home games. Win those and it will be hard to keep Iowa off the two line.

Those cheating bastards....
Iowa didnt play to their potential against michigan, but michigan is just one of the best teams in the country, certainly look better than baylor and playing in a tougher conference than gonzaga. I wouldnt say fluke because michigan has made a lot of good teams look bad
I think this might have been mentioned earlier, but holy s* that rebounding today! 
OSU only had 2, TWO!, offensive rebounds today.
Hawks really brought it all around today. Hats off to them for 'rebounding' (ha!) after the loss on Thursday night.

Great game Hawkeyes! My only complaint is the stupid camera angles that make it difficult to watch game. This wasn't the first game it has been done. Who thinks this is a good idea?
I did like the shot clock showing on the floor at 15 seconds.
He played much more under control today and it worked getting him a few more minutes.
We are a good match up against OSU. We just gagged the first game. We are a bad matchup vs Michigan. Michigan has serious bigs.....osu does not. That is the difference in the match up. Great game today!
I thought defensive intensity & quickness were the difference. Which Iowa can (obviously) bring in any game. I refuse to believe that, given another chance, Luka couldn't abuse Dickinson.
Joe T -7 asst in 14 min and 1 TO
Jordan - 4 asst and 1 TO in 26 min.
Pretty solid 40 minutes from the PG position.
The 3 seed gets the 6 / 11 / 14 winner.
I'd take that.
I'd take that.
Got 2 more regular season games to win. Getting to 20 wins will be great. And going 4-1 over the final 5 would be about great. Really impressed with the way the squad bounced back today! Don't let down!
Solid post . This is th JT that deserves minutes. He played under control and let the game come to him. Amazing what happens when you slow down, take a few breaths and just play without overthinking
The regular season conference champ ship has likely sailed barring a complete collapse by Illinois and Michigan (Those two losses to Indiana hurt). Now we just need to focus on keeping the double bye for the Conference tournament and go from there.
Win out and 3rd place is our ceiling. Win our remaining regular season home games and this team will be Fran's only team in 11 years to not finish with double digit loses and his highest finish in the Big Ten. Finish 3rd and we avoid playing Michigan until the championship game of the Big Tournament if we take care of our first 2 games....1 against whomever and the other against the Illini.
2 and 3 seed really isn't much different. 3 and 4, however is much different.
I hope that it's a 2 or 3 seed but not in Gonzaga's bracket.
Yeah the media brackets need to gtfo this push to convince the committee that Iowa should be in Gonzaga's bracket (or Baylor's for that matter because we deserve nice things from time to time........)
We already played Gonzaga, so we don't need to end up in their bracket again.
Let's take the bracket of whoever is replacing Ohio State for that 1 seed............
Iowa would have to win the B1G tournament to get a 1 seed, and even then it's doubtful. Not that they wouldn't deserve it but the Coaches poll just hasn't given Iowa the respect it has received from every other credible source, especially KenPom.Iowa if they win out?
