Utah State

That's a hell of a comeback for them on the road. SDSU doesn't lose at home.
And yet many posters ripped Iowa for losing to Utah State. They might want to rethink that.
Sure wish we had held on against ISU or got a call at the end of the UM game, but I guess pulling out the NW game balances that out. I think the Wisconsin game is a big one. We need to enter the B1G schedule on an upswing for a change. If we stay healthy, this team can compete with anyone.
The cumulative record of the teams we have lost to this season is 31-5, with Michigan collecting three of those losses.
Well after tomorrow only 2 cupcakes left, Washington and Minnesota
If the other cupcakes were as good as Washington and Minny, our NET would probably be top 40.
I skimmed down the NET rankings, and I am surprised that AZ is 25. I know they are highly regarded, but they are 6-5 overall. The have played 5 level 1 teams, but lost all of those games. They have two level 3 wins and 4 level 4 wins. I know there is a lot more detail to consider, but that sounds more like a NET 60 team, not a 25. Can anyone explain briefly?
Who was ripping Iowa for losing to Utah State? We knew they were good. I can only speak for myself, but I was upset at Payton Sandfort for going 1-13 from the three point line and at Fran for his coaching or lack thereof. This was a winnable game. Instead we had a player just jacking up off balance threes early in the shot clock and threw the game away.
Efficiency ratings are baked in as well. Kenpom has them at 24, Torvik at the 16.
It will be a dog fight,.. Badgers on their floor looking to get out of the hole they've created for themselves,.. I like our chances.
They don't, but no quad 1 wins, either. They will have to grab some during conference play, because this non conference schedule has done them no favors.
This. If we've learned anything from recent Selection Sunday's it comes down to Q1 wins for bubble teams.
I wished Fran had gone to the 3 guard lineup earlier. Having Thelwell out there puts the ball in the hands of another skilled perimeter offensive player making it less likely that Sandfort ends up jacking off balance 3's. In that Utah win Sandfort 2-5 over 36 minutes.
