Williams for Purdue had 22 and 10 this week against the Hoosiers. I think Luka will feast.
On to IU

You think today was a beat down?
Thursday may be the epic game when we shoot 60% for a night and lay 110+ on someone.
IU sucks and they have no center? Good luck, Archie.

Hawks need to continue playing like the did today ... with a purpose
Iowa is looking and playing like a Top Five team. I love seeing what they can do when they put it all together
IU is just another pit stop on the road to the Final Four. Just win baby!

They won't score 78 points, maybe 68 if they're lucky.
We need to just keep winning. Who knows how many games we are going to get in? This is a really good team and I hope they have the chance to get a championship or 2 in the next few months.
They suck, period, and an epic beat down could help expedite Archie's exit, no matter the dreaded Covid.
I wouldn't say Indiana sucks. They are 33rd in the Pomeroy rankings. They play defense. They have talent, they just don't play well together or Archie can't coach offense, or both. They have a lot of guys who jack up 3's and don't make a high %, so of course against Iowa they will hit 50%.
They don't have anyone who can guard Garza (no one in the Big 10 really does). The improvement in Iowa's ability to move the ball inside and out will continue to be key. Iowa wins if they can keep Indiana from running a dunk and layup drill at the rim. Iowa's defense since Minnesota has been much better. Just make IU shoot jump shots and Iowas should be good.
A dunk and layup drill? They are not a good team, especially offensively, and who outside of Jackson-Davis is their "talent"?
Thursday is going to be worse for our opponent than it was today.
I see you are getting pretty cocky after the northwestern prediction that you nailed 😮
IU doesn't suck, but the Hawks are better. Jackson-Davis is a top 10 player in the B1G, but their guards are very inconsistent. Let's hope the Hawks are shooting like today, and IU guards don't get on a roll.
I hope they keep Archie for many more seasons. Total doofus.
TJD is actually the one player I’ve been wanting to see Luka play against( ok Dickinson of Michigan too, but for different reasons ). TJD can sky and is quick off the floor. Probably not strong enough but I think he has the motor to make Luka work hard for his points. Having said that Iowa has too many bigs for the Hoosiers once Patrick, Nunge, and Keegan come in to play, so Hawks wear em down and win by 15
I've seen us and IU play enough to know they're in a world of hurt come Thursday.
Ok and really so far this year Garza seems to score on everybody, still I’m looking forward to the matchup, today his 17 , looked better than some of his 30 point games. He was poetry today, shooting from every level, passing , rebounding, blocked shots, just fun watching, different than watching Ronnie Lester but no less beautiful
I'm intrigued by the Hunter Dickinson matchup as they've worked out in the Summers together in DC.
Should be a good matchup of guys familiar with each others abilities.
