Okay , sure, we'll need an exponentially better performance to beat Nova on Sunday....and yeah, our warts and moles are still as hairy and inflamed as they appeared to be during our season-ending skid. But hey, at least we're not Purdue and Michigan State.
What a pass by Mike!!!!!
0-8 from the field. Hard to find a pg that shoots worse than this guy. Maybe his air ball assists can be his signature move.
In the words of Patches O'Hoolihan: My sweet d*ck it's magic!
Didn't get a chance to watch, but I'm glad we won.

Amen. In the tourney, a win is a win is a win.
Played one of our worst games of the year, but better to be lucky than good.
WE probably will get smoked by Villanova, but when you suck out a game you shot 35% from field, maybe B-ball luck is finally in Iowa corner.
See OP, it isn't who makes the most buckets that wins! Temple made 30, Iowa 24...and we won!
The worm has turned. The SI jinx has been negated. Pack your bags for Houston!
Decided to ignore it like the 5 travels on DeCosey.
Woodbury's face though! So sweet in so many ways that it he made it.
He was literally trying to get someone to come get the ball and nobody else would.....so might as f***ing well.
Lol this was a big improvement over the Illinois game. We only turned it over twice. We just HAVE to stop taking such lazy shots and settling for one on ones, and stick to more man to man with the goal of having help defense and taking a mf-ing charge like Gesell did...

After the first 10 minutes, pretty poor play by Iowa, with a few exceptions here and there, but here's the thing: IOWA WON. Despite it all, the Hawkeyes advance. And I understand the feeling that Iowa has no chance against Villanova, but I beg to differ. The V boys were underwhelming for 30 minutes against a pretty bad #15 seed, so I'm willing to tip it off and see what happens.
After trying so hard to give this one away and having the ball finally bounce their way at the end, MAYBE the worm has turned. MAYBE the Hawkeyes can play 40 minutes and advance. Anything is possible.
Finally, any Iowa fan has to be thrilled that Adam Woodbury, a Sioux City boy who could have gone anywhere, literally saved the Hawkeyes with a gutsy game-winning tip to win an NCAA game.
So as Tom Izzo and Matt Painter sit at home, the Hawkeyes will be going after a Sweet Sixteen berth on Sunday. Let the emotion carry over to knock off Villanova.

This win might be just what these players needed. It's almost like the players and the coach have been playing with an elephant weighing on their shoulders for the last month. Everybody is pressing and it's not just the seniors. Look at Jok at the free throw line at the end of regulation. Everybody is so worried about losing they have forgotten how to go for the win. Everybody loses, they shouldn't be afraid of it, just play. Way too much thinking. Fran definitely needs to use some timeouts to get better shots closer to the basket with Uthoff. When we start to press mentally we start to stand around and look for someone else to hit a shot. A Fran timeout, and a play call, would ease some of that tension. I think we are going to come out and play loose on Sunday.
Remember when that used to actually be part of our offensive repertoire under Dr. Tom? Maybe it's time to bring it back.
Great play call by Fran!!!
Can someone photoshop Woodys have here
Made on my phone. I could've done better if I were at home.
Also I have a shitty connection here so I have no idea if the image is showing or not.
If you do not like what I have to say then you have a choice, put me on ignore or stop reading my posts because I plan on continuing to post my opinion whether you like it or not. You got that bud!!!
Ditto to you pal!!! I find most of your comments sophomoric, but I refrain from commenting on them.
