***Official Iowa at Wisconsin Game Thread***

[BioHawk]

National aholes might just have to rethink their "iowa is definitely out" bubble watch articles/lists....

Even if Iowa wins out don't you think they'd need, at a minimum, to at least make it to the Big Ten Tournament championship game to even be considered? Personally, I think their only way in at this point is to win the tournament but I've been wrong before. Losing twice to Illinois hurt.

You look at the 3 pt % that we have had over the last 3 halves and it's off the charts. But we are getting really good looks. We are still running above shooting by yourself in the gym numbers, but it's not a complete accident either.

I can understand the praise for Wisky by ESPN. At least they didn't throw another shoutout to Calhoun who sounds like he forgot the denture cream tonight.

 

[QChawks]

I wish we got more production from Wagner

 

[lovedwatchingLester]

Moss tonight ,to me is a mixed bag both good and bad, but I'll take his hustle and eventually he will be awesome

 

[HeRKeYHoPeFuL]

I wonder if Wisconsin is easier to rotate against than most teams because they have a set system where guys will be. With the extra prep day and knowing their offensive spots, you can know where you'll need to fly out to unlike when you play a motion offense and everyone is shifting and curling differently each time.

I'll take another half where Iowa's shooting twice the percentage from 3

 

[MepoDawg#]

I can't remember Iowa looking as crappy on offense yet leading a supposedly good team by this much in a long time. Moss has been an utter disaster with the ball tonight.

The defense has been outstanding though (Hayes practically invisible), Baer finally figured out maybe he should not drive into a bad situation and just spot up for 3's..so yeah, happy but...confused. It's like I see the scoreboard, but I have no clue how it happened.

They mentioned Hayes hasn't practiced for 2 days. Wonder if he's sick or injured. Oh well, must take advantage of it.

I would take any offensive production out of him, don't get me wrong I like the guy but he's no threat at all on offense. Still love his energy and defense.

 

[DirtyJohns97]

I think you are correct Biohawk. But if we win out, and beat Purdue and maybe Minnesota on the way to the final, maybe we are given a chance?

 

[PlazaHawkeye]

Good god if they play that guy singing again... I'll cut myself

 

[backinblack23]

I understand how we might not even be in the discussion but it's a complete joke that Clemson and Georgia Tech are still even in the discussion.

I like him too but he belongs on the FB team. Give his minutes to someone else.

 

[War Hawkeye]

Not huge on the Vitto Brown solos.

 

[DaCDiggity]

Somebody tell espn to stop playing Vitto Browns singing about wiskys offense.....takkkke it slowww

 

[thirteenandtwo]

Jim Calhoun is the Beth Mowins of College Basketball

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Think Joe and ESPN, we should have a win @ Minnesota too.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

What a garbage offensive foul

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

I think you are correct Biohawk. But if we win out, and beat Purdue and maybe Minnesota on the way to the final, maybe we are given a chance?

If we win out but beat Purdue and Minnesota and lose the tournament I think we'd still be in. We'd have 20 wins and an RPI in the low 60s to mid 50s at that point.

The stolen Gopher games hurts more!

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

WOW, the same official has called two garbage fouls in a row.

 

[MepoDawg#]

Wisky fans sound like ISU fans. Boo everything that doesn't go their way. Someone knocks it out of bounds and they boo when it clearly was off them.

 

[hansenhawk]

Agree with that dude, 10-8 in B1G? eff bubble, we should be IN. we deserve WAY more pub at least SQUARELY on the bubble than we are getting. Overall record will be good enuf, we should be in at this point, eff the bubble. Some saying we have to still WIN the BTT? bullshat, unless we are just hated on purpose.

 

[QChawks]

Fix is in

 

[MepoDawg#]

Wisky going to get help now.

 

[Ree4]

2nd half fix is in

They learned from Bo Ryan. That guy cried about EVERYTHING.

 

[hansenhawk]

THAT point, if we win tonight and against PSU i meant. FIRST, lets please pull this off tonight, still LONG way to go in this one.

 

[QChawks]

Nice mohawk. Lol

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

BS foul on Cook. Hot Garbage

 

[TDJ7]

Hayes will elbows and hooks every drive and nothing ever gets called.

 

[Ree4]

Hayes pushes off and gets a foul call, horseshit

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

Everyone got their lube for the second half f fest

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

LMAO @ this Wisky crowd

 

[TheRealHerky]

Nigel Hayes is a fvcking goon.

 

[thirteenandtwo]

the fix is on

 

[QChawks]

Expect a lot of whistles

 

[Ronman]

As predicted, the refs decide to remove Cook from the game with a couple of very questionable calls.
