Zero Pressure Tomorrow

Yeah, can't move up or down. Feel lose and drain about 7 treys Jordan.
Weezy struggled with the 3 tonight which means tomorrow....
count on it!

Actually, there is room for movement.
If we win out, there's zero reason we should not take Illinois' 1 seed.
But we are gonna need to shoot better from 3 tomorrow for that to be a reality......
We’ll shoot better because...well we really can’t shoot any worse
It's funny too because Wisconsin fans are the biggest offenders of mocking Iowa for the Fran Fade and not being able to win in the BTT/March.
And we end the skid against them by beating them for the 3rd time in a season for the first time ever.
I f***ing love it..............because f*** Wisconsin, that's why.
God it would be fun to see Iowa light it up tomorrow. They should have their sights set after tonoght
No shame in losing to Hot Illini team. It would have been a pisser to lose to lowly Wisconsin team.
Jordan is 19 threes away from being the career leader in made threes. Like to see about seven tomorrow.
i was thinking Wisconsin had a (fair) advantage of playing on that court with shooting, where we struggled. Maybe a different story tomorrow.
Personally, I enjoy watching Illinois lose. Watching Illinois lose to Iowa would be even better.
Yes, 🇫🇰🇼🇸! And we had 8 turnovers to their 14. That's a stat I like.
If we lose, a silver lining is a 0% chance of injury in the finals. An appealing silver lining.
I love winning a game where you shoot like shit.
Usually means percentages will even out soon.

This.
Any pressure is on Illinois. They're the projected 4th best team on the 1-line.
Iowa wins tomorrow, and it might stir some discussion on who should be the #4 1-seed and the other one the #1 2-seed.
Why not 19?
Well, unless your goal is to win a Big Ten Title... Lot's on this board were calling for a national title.
I personally agree with you about no pressure but I am guessing our guys have higher expectations for themselves than most are putting on them.

I hope the Hawks keep wearing the gold script unis.
What say you?

I prefer the black, but either way f*** Illinois.
I think Jordan having an off night, but still winning the game by being calm and his leadership in the end is actually a bonus.
Hopefully that helps the team stay loose tomorrow, knowing we don't have to bury each 3 to be in the game.
Great D, great 3rd win over **** Wisconsin.

That is true, but I also loved the fire he showed at the refs after they didn't call the moving screen on Potter. Didn't do enough to get a T, but made his point. Part of me thought it was kinda calculated, to try and get his teammates into the game more.
(not that it mattered, cause moving screens - on both ends - were allowed all game long. another one was committed by the same screener, on the same screenee, on the very next play)
Illinois has 11 quad 1 wins.... they are not falling off a 1 seed
how many does Iowa have? I honestly don’t know or even care that much... the only thing nice about potentially having a 1 seed is avoiding the Gonzaga or Baylor bracket. But eventually we’d have to beat one of these types anyway.
We have 8. If we beat Illinois and then win the title we would have 10 to Illinois 11. We would have the most recent H2H win. We would have a conference title. We would also have a one seed in the NCAA tourney. To think otherwise is just foolish.
Whoa, slow down Clone fan. We would have a conference tourney title. Still less Q1 wins, most recent H2H win means squat. We’d be looking at teams with very similar resumes.
I disagree. I don’t see any way Iowa jumps Michigan or Illinois for a #1 seed (unless one of them gets the Covid and has to withdraw).
The #1 seeds will be set before tomorrow. What happens from here on out in the BTT will have no bearing on seeding.
