Ryan Kriener is the 10th different Hawkeye to have scored in double figures in a game this season.

Both Fran McCaffery of Iowa and Maryland’s Mark Turgeon enter Thursday’s game with 380 career victories as a head coach

[thirteenandtwo]

this will be the biggest upset in sports history since February 22, 1980...
maybe even bigger.

Feb 22 1959 was bigger. First Daytona 500

 

[Franisdaman]

An Iowa win puts Iowa at 4-3 and in 6th place in the B1G (currently in 9th) and JUST ONE GAME OUT OF FIRST PLACE

A 35 pt loss counts as just one loss and the B1G is completely unpredictable this year.

I am hoping for an inspired bunch tonight in Gold! I am hoping they play hard and together. Trimble is going to test our young guards.

Iowa 83

I think the hawks get it done tonight!

We will be 3 games out of the lead with a loss and 2 games out with a win.

 

[Franisdaman]

We will be 3 games out of the lead with a loss and 2 games out with a win.

actually, 4-1 Wisconsin would lead 4-3 Iowa by one game in the standings (in the "Games Back" column, it would show "1," not "2")

 

[thirteenandtwo]

if Iowa is going to win the Big Ten Title.... this is an absolute must game.

No. That baseball approach works with so many (162) games being played. The difference in how many games each team has played is not very large percentage wise.

However, in an 18 game bball schedule, only about a third played so far, that approach is mathematically correct but misleading.

Losses is all that matters.

If Iowa wins tonight, there will be a "1" in the GB (games back) column. Right now that number is "1.5."

End of argument.

I hope Calhoun speaks a little slower LOL.

 

[Franisdaman]

As you can see in the link at the end of this thread (scroll down, in the right column you will find the standings), Iowa is currently 1.5 games out of first place. Win tonight and that number changes to 1 game out of first.

Pemsl is responsible for this 0-5 deficit.

 

[Franisdaman]

Pemsl is responsible for this 0-5 deficit.

and he got the quick hook

 

[kzoohawk80]

Can we even get a shot off? Wow!

 

[EZ2BJZ]

Wow. Wonderful start. 4 turnovers in less than 2 minutes.

 

[hawkeye bb n fb fan]

Can we make a ****ing shot?

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Can anyone teach these guys to take care of the ball?!?!??? Jok should know by now how to NOT dribble into no mans land....

That why he's not in

 

[HawkLogic]

very similar to NW start.

 

[EZ2BJZ]

It amazes me they still can't guard the pick and roll.

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Yikes still hungover

 

[Franisdaman]

team came out flat and Fran, 90 seconds in, pulls Pemsl and Jok

Jok not exactly showing leadership tonight

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Finally a basket. Come on Hawks, get tough. Tired of the sloppy lazy play

 

[Franisdaman]

Yikes still hungover

u r hung over?

 

[HawkLogic]

Lets see if we get blown out.

Jok has never been a vocal leader, but i don't know why he can't be a leader in effort...

 

[HawkLogic]

Bohannon is great deep shooter.

Kiriener and Wagner with rebounds.

 

[HawkLogic]

I guess we should only shoot 3s

 

[TRHawkeye145]

Love me some Baer and jbo

 

[BrunoMars420]

I can't hear a word Calhoun is saying. Does he mumble or just doesn't speak into the mic?

 

[anon_snp6dc585nnj4]

Lol at the gold out. Speckled gold.

 

[Franisdaman]

Jok has never been a vocal leader, but i don't know why he can't be a leader in effort...

agreed

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

More turnovers

 

[thirteenandtwo]

if we can keep it close.... we're gonna win
I guarantee it.
