We're far too critical of the Hawks, I think they're better than any of those teams, Michigan St is always tough as hell tho.
Watching tonight's games

It’s usually that way for Iowa hoops for some reason. Some of those mid 2010s teams got RIPPED which made it very clear many people don’t watch other college hoops outside of Iowa.
Doesnt mean they’re above criticism but the arguments about athletic ability were always very silly.
Agreed. Heck, I'm not sure some people watch any basketball anywhere other than Iowa games. I mean, I try to be honest in any assessment, but I also try to never just rip on anyone...because they are college kids not getting paid.
As for the RIPPED part...Woodbury/Gesell anyone? Being Fran's first two big name recruits put a target on their backs for fans of their own team that they were never able to shake, despite deserving about 1% of the complaints they received.
No, they aren't. Nowhere near the same, and they don't deserve the crap they receive that they would if they were paid, professional athletes.
LOL! Ask any student or parent of said student who isn't on a scholarship if these Athletes are getting paid or not. This is what is called a no-brainer.
You accept a DI Scholarship you put on your Big Boy pants and put up with whatever comes your way. That's how the real world operates. It isn't all sunshine and puppies.
Don't like the DI pressure cooker and all that entails good or bad? Fine, go to Coe. Problem solved.
I'm only mentioning this because a friend of my son plays for them, but IL State beat DIII Greenville tonight 177-108. ISU shot 86% from the floor, 70-81, and had 57 reb and 57ast. They had 10 guys in double figures.
Former Grandview Christian F Harouna Sissoko (my son's friend) had 21 on 9-9 shooting (I'll just assume all 9 were vicious dunks), and 7 reb in 16 min.

Don't know. They were 42-108 from the floor, and had 20 turnovers. They did attempt 55 threes.

Still, 177 points in 40 minutes is ridiculous. Of course, the great Iowa team of 1970 (John Johnson, Freddie Brown & Co.) put up 75 in the FIRST HALF against Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament--and that was, of course, BEFORE the 3-point shot was invented. Had the 3-pointer been available, Iowa probably would have had about 90 points in that first half, so there's that.
If you shot 3s all game and made 50%, you'd need to shoot a 3 every 20 seconds! Crazy.
