Iowa vs NW/ILLINI

I'll root like crazy for the Hawks if they play Illinois, but I admit that if we play Northwestern, the masochist in me will want to see a loss. I just want to able to go around and tell people that the head coach of my favorite college basketball team, who has coached in 9 B1G Tournaments and has rock-solid job security, owns losses to the #9, #10, #11, #12, #13 and #14 seeds in the B1G Tourney. I wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh. They could play the B1G Tourney for another 500 years and you might not see that level of incompetence.
And the lower seeded teams that beat Iowa 2014-2017 all lost their next game. Usually blowouts.
 
Boatraced by a team who's also los 5 of 6, and only win is 5 points over NW at home? A team who lost at home last week to Indy, a team we swept in the last month, by 18?
Yeah, Iowa has really been tearing it up lately. You know, the team that blew a 16 point second half (and 9 points with less than a minute to go in regulation) lead to a bottom feeder.

Simple math should have prevented you from responding.

I'm aware we could lose, but boatraced? That was my point.
 
So you don’t think there is any chance Illinois could beat Iowa badly? Hmmm.....
Based off of season results, no, I don't think they would boatrace us. Not sure how any fan, let alone an Iowa fan, would look at recent results and think, "man, Illinois would boatrace us based off of their 18 point loss to Indiana". In fact, I think it's idiotic to come to this conclusion. I think there's a better chance you have an intelligent post in the next 48 hours, than there would be of Illinois boatracing us.

Even the simple minded know how a team does against one team does not translate to how they will do against another. To think there is zero chance Illinois could beat the Hawks badly is, in your words, “idiotic”. Ask the 2017 Ohio State football team about getting boatraced.

Your next intelligent post will be your first.

I didn't say "zero chance" knuckledragger. You add nothing to this board, you just bi*** about everything, like a little girl. The whole "I sprained my ankle, I need to cut off my leg" mentality on this board is just annoying.

You’re arguing with a guy who clearly struggles to understand sports. Let it go.

Ah, the old “I’m wrong so I’ll resort to name calling” strategy.

Congratulations, you have now joined an exclusive club.....my ignore list. Only 3 people. Kudos!

Bye.

You said you stopped watching last Thursday. You then turned around and said you were done in the game thread Sunday. Yet, here you still are.
 
I think the scariest theme of this post is a 6 seed team is trying to decide whether an 11 or 14 seed is 'a better match-up'. If they don't beat either team by at least 6 on a neutral court, then the team is a mess. I will be at the game though so I hope its a good game!

NW is playing Illinois perfectly.....but can't make an open shot to save their soul. Hawks shouldn't be afraid of either of these 2 teams.

NW 5-24 from 3. Definitely hope we do not face them as odds are we are the remedy for cold shooting. The freshman whose name I cannot spell or pronounce for IL is a nice player. Dude has some sweet moves.
 
I could see Cook taking 30 shots against these smaller Illini lineups, not giving a single f*** about the team score.

Gonna be brutal tomorrow despite the fact Illinois spent a ton of energy in this one.
