Me too. Guaranteed win today, and my prediction in January of a sweet 16 is still likely to happen. We have too many weapons to stop.

May need to play Mulvey a bit tonight to give Brauns and Dembele some rest times.
The one nice thing bout the Cock .. commerials are removed from the replays. (At least for the plan I have). Not that I mind forwarding through them in Youtube TV but yea..You hate the Cock?
Anybody looked at Minnesota basketball program record the last 30 years with revolving coaching carousel??...Jesus Christ......be careful what you wish for...
True but not applicable to Iowa at the moment.
I hate the Cock. Almost as much as I hate the Drake.
I'm not sure exactly what it is that some people are so afraid of losing if Beth makes a change. The conference championships, deep postseason runs, or packed arenas? The current situation isn't exactly stellar, either.
Or, could just give Fran a lifetime contract because we're afraid of Todd Lickliter.
Speaking for myself - I'm already apathetic. As a fan, I personally have nothing to lose with the next coach.
Illini had nearly a week off. Will the Hawks have the energy they had yesterday? Like to see a win, but going to be rough. Hope for a close game. Go Hawks.
Prediction.
Illinois goes off on a big run to start the game. We are down 20-4. Fran doesn’t call a timeout. Payton starts to play hero ball and goes 0/6 from behind the line. We somehow claw our way back to down 10. At half Fran stands with his hands in his pockets. Payton goes into a bathroom stall to read bible verses. He comes back out fired up and on a mission. “This is God challenging me” he thinks. “Challenge accepted”. Unfortunately, Payton is delusional and proceeds to go 1/6 from behind the line in the second half along with some dumb turnovers finishing with 7 total points. Iowa loses by 20.

Rebounding is the key. Win the rebounding battle, hasn't happened very often this season, win the game. Lose the rebounding battle and it gets ugly quickly. Puncher's chance tonite, I'll take the Hawks. Underwood sucks and his approach to college basketball sucks, that's all
Always cracks me up. People use the extreme failure to make a point. How about the dozens of programs that hired a new coach, or two and turned the program around. Happens all the time.
What is something OP's Mom has said often?
To my memory MN has only been good in my lifetime when they were cheating
Sometimes a team can get stale sitting, while the Hawks got accustomed to the floor.

Will require someone going way above their average. Maybe Pryce goes off for 20 or Brauns for 15?
We need Braun’s strength down low. He’s due for a breakthrough. Could be his final game at Iowa ever!
Come to think of it, the Kings have played flat as well.
I don't know, but there's a whole lot worse out there to have to listen to.
*cough*Bardo*ahem!*
