I don't like our chances tonight.
That said, I don't like our chances most nights.

Dude I walked down 20 rows to sit in the front row under the basket to take pictures with my new camera. Lickliter had games with about 1500.3000 actual attendance seems really low for a Big10 conference game. My family went to a Lickliter game at Carver vs Purdue during the Xmas holiday years ago and attendance had to be way over 3000 with no students. Interesting Factoid: I think it was the game Lil Lick was posterized for getting his layup attempt blocked .
We didn't have to pay because someone just gave us tickets rather than watch that Licliter B-ball.
These Hawks are way more exciting/competitive than Lickliter era teams at home.
Does Garcia hit 30 pts or does someone bash him in nutz again? I think we win, but if we don't we could be on verge of collapse if Fran sticks to his guns on small ball.
Yeah it'd have to be zone. Mulvey can't guard anyone one on one can he?Why would Mulvey guard Garcia. Wouldn’t it be Freeman if they both started? Or you play zone?
smuggle it, cowboy!!I’ve got the night free of any responsibility, 3 minute drive, dirt cheap tix and very little desire to go.
Still deciding if I want to go and pay $12 for beer.
You miss the raging Fran don't ya? Admit it, we all miss this guy!People will be spending vastly more money on refreshments tonight than they will on ticket prices.
Seriously though, what a joke. Even if I lived closer and didn't work tomorrow, I still wouldn't go.
Not until Mr. 'Hands Never Leave My Pockets, When I Can Be Bothered to Even Stand Up' is gone.
If we could get the guy between FranCon 10 and FranCon less than zero, I'd be content.You miss the raging Fran don't ya? Admit it, we all miss this guy!

Maybe its because a health scare or something - too much high blood pressure from late November through mid-March - but he went from what we were used to for 13 or 14 years to pretty much an emotionless and careless robot this season.
If not for health reasons, then he's as checked out as can be.
He is probably lining up his NBA career at this point.Is Payton Brickfort going to play?
We have a shot since its at home.I demand that we win this game in front of a sellout crowd.
Thank you.

He most certainly can. I think he’s shown that. Hell, as a true freshman he held his own against the Edey green giant. I think he’s a bit like Woody. Very good at positioning. He disrupts more shots than you realize.Yeah it'd have to be zone. Mulvey can't guard anyone one on one can he?
Tadjo's only claim to fame so far is 9 fouls per 40 minutes played. He's not in any way ready to play extended minutes. Mulvey has shown himself to be much more effective in limited minutes.Mulvey would get absolutely abused by Garcia. Can't guard him on the perimeter and too slow off the bounce to be effective down low. One dribble and he will blow by him for easy buckets. Mulvey is more question than answer. We will see if Owen can stay out of foul trouble tonight. I'd play Tadjo before Mulvey. Much more physical and quicker.
Hawks will win easily.I don't like our chances tonight.

The only reason Iowa beat Minnie last year at Carver was because Garcia was kneed in the groan and had to sit out for most of the 2nd half. He is a beast and makes everyone on that team better then they are. It's going to be a tall task for Iowa to pull off a win tonight. Cannot afford to have long stretches' of empty offense and Iowa has to avoid leaving open 3 shooters uncovered as Iowa did on the west coast.
Someone from the bench is going to have to step it up and fill the gap left by the absents of Payton. will it be Pryce or Dembele and it will be interesting if Mulvey gets any minutes tonight, after getting minutes in the Michigan game he was MIA until the UCLA game in which he played quite admiralty for 8 minutes in the 2nd half, he deserves to see minutes despite some on here saying he's worthless. Brauns is how you spell worthless....

I mean, you're not wrong.Ironically, he used to be criticized for being too animated and aggressive on the bench. Winning is all that matters. No one cares about the rest.
On the positive side, I believe we're only two years away from being two years away!True, but Iowa can lose to anyone at any time. IMO there is no such thing as "gimme" with Iowa BBall.
I love raging Fran...You miss the raging Fran don't ya? Admit it, we all miss this guy!

You should have saved your two cents for your brilliant comment..............On the positive side, I believe we're only two years away from being two years away!
