Yeah, the clones had it put to them pretty bad, but not quite as bad as the ass kicking the Hawkeyes gave them !
Clones had two starters out and have to play a road conference game in Lubbock on Monday.
Cry me a river.
Nobody cares.
Remind me how many games Iowa has to play in the next 6 days.
Quite different to miss 2 starters from a top 10-15 team compared to a team hoping to make the tournament. Iowa State also has a tough stretch with 3 games in 7 days especially in the Big 12.
It had nothing to do with they way they played. I really like their team this year. I just think it’s funny even when they are a fringe top 10 team, people who work at ESPN call them the Hawkeyes.
Sez a lot about the “professionalism” at the premier sports network as opposed to the national reputation of ISU.
Same as with Iowa against Eastern Illinois. Clearly won game counts and defines a season and the other doesn’t count at all because clown fans say so .
Actually it means when there is a ranked team from the state most folks just assume it is Iowa. Conversely when there is a team in the cellar for football it is usually isu.
No, actually it means that when national media thinks of Iowa sports programs…it is the Iowa Hawkeyes that come to mind.
Let me help you out…..Let’s say Patrick Mahomes is out. That’s a big deal. Now let’s say Spencer Petra’s is out. See? Better teams= better players
No it isn’t different at all. And Iowa is just as firmly in the tourney as ISU currently is, in other words, not at all. A lot of basketball yet to be played.
Very different when a mediocre team has a couple guys out- they are still mediocre. A top level team has a couple guys out- they may now be mediocre. If you think Iowa is firmly in the tourney you haven’t watched much Iowa basketball lately! The Fran fade is coming.
Why cry? They made a conscious decision that Monday is more important since the team is tied for first in the strongest conference in America.
Iowa should beat Eastern Illinois with their 3rd team playing the whole game. Vegas knew the players were out and still had the hawks at -31
So again Iowa being down 2 starters defines their season and isu being down 2 starters means the game doesn’t really count because clown fans say so.
Like how Tyler Miller said that isu was practicing for Iowa all summer and prioritizing the Iowa game over all the conference games? Was finishing in last place by multiple games was worth it? But of course we must pick and choose when this counts and when it doesn’t count. Luckily we have clown fans here to tell us which is which.
It means they think the Hawkeyes play in the B12. The clone is right. Neither program is all that respected nationally.
Exactly! You are making my point. Murray is a fantastic player. When he was out there was very little regression. Because Iowa is an average team either with him or without him. Iowa State is a very average team with 2 starters out. When they are fully healthy they are a top 10-15 team, as we have seen this season. Starters out on a top team have more impact than starters out on an average team. You’re not watching enough sports if you can’t comprehend this.
isu is only a Top 10-15 team when the officials allow them to grab, hold, push and hack. When they don’t isu loses.
From what I've seen this season, there is very little difference between a top 10-15 team (Clones) and a top 30-40 team (Hawks) besides a few lucky breaks, like ISU got a break when Kris Murray missed that game.
You may want to compare resumes, as the tourney committee will do, before the big dance. We may very well get to the end of the regular season and Iowa’s best win will be against Iowa State while Iowa State will have multiple top 10 wins. The season is a body of work. EIU?
So EIU > Iowa, Iowa > ISU = EIU > ISU. 😯
Because clown fans say so. Got it. Are you sure the Tournament committee looks at polls and uses wins against top 10-15 foes as a criteria? Does the committee know this? Are we sure the Texas Ten is as awesome as clown fans demand it is? I mean they went what 6-4 against the SEC over the weekend? Does that really scream dominant? To clown fans I’m sure it does.
