This season has been so bad, it feels like that game took place 10+ years ago.
Team is going to need to play a lot better than they have in 3 weeks to even make the game competitive. The guards have been the main difference the past few weeks. I am not sure why they have been so bad, but they need to get back to being really good on both ends. If I were Fran, I would challenge Dix to lead. I still think he can be as good as any off guard in the B1G. Thelwell is always competitive. Harding needs to create on O, and stay in front of his man on D. Traore and Dembele need to play better than they ever have as a Hawkeye., especially defensively and on the boards. The Sandfort bros need to be hot, and make a strong effort to guard. And, our ace in the hole, Riley Mulvey needs to show that he belongs on the court in B1G games.
The one thing we can do to have a chance tonight is a full-game, full court press.
Purdue has struggled against it in the past.

I have watched more than half their games and the 7.5 point spread is unexplainable. Unless Purdue comes to the game half asleep they will win by 15/20 in a cruise. JMO
It’s at 6.5 now.
I’m taking boilers big. May tack on a few pts to get +150

I plan on going. Anyone going?
I’ll be somewhere around row twenty with a bag on my head.

Typically anytime we play. Fran just elects to be very inconsistent with when he deploys it. Often waaaaay too late in the game.
Purdue hasn’t really had any issues with the press. Especially now that they have 3 solid guards and a favy vet in fletch.
Just think, @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset , we won a CHAMPIONSHIP just 3 years ago!
I hope you forgot what happened in the next game!
I definitely have not watched a single game Iowa has lost to Purdue in years.
If you actually decide to take your hands out of your pockets, I'll consider being concerned about that.
Truly hope the Hawks can find a way to win, Being honest I bet Purdue to cover.
Lololol. So Harding really is his bag boy?
For what? The season is trashed
This program needed to move on to the next chapter yesterday
We shall look back upon this date as the beginning of the Mulvey Era.....the dawn of a golden renaissance for Iowa men's basketball.
I like the starting lineup given the circumstances. I'm glad Harding isn't starting for some petty reason (on my part). Lends credence to the rumor that Harding is hitting the portal after this year too. Maybe it's as innocent as they want a little more height but I suspect not.
I presume there isn't an announced reason / injury regarding Harding, that I've seen anyway.
I'm a damn glutton for punishment. I've got it on - at least for a little while.
lulz. Guy says only way Iowa wins is if they make 15-20 threes and play zone pretty much all game long.

Mulvey with big dividends early with the shot block to start the fast break transition!
