Pulling for Purdue and OSU today. Indiana can move above Penn St in the standings today (tie breaker) and it is still mathematically possible to pass Michigan.
Just checked, it's also possible to pass Nebraska, Go Illini.
That's classic gil for yaSoooooooooooooooo. Let me get this straight. The "refs" screwed Iowa? Ven though Iowa shot 22 FT's to Indiana's 9? Or that IU was whistled for 19 fouls....Iowa 15? Or that Iowa had no players with more than three fouls, yet two IU's starters had 5(Smith) and 4(Morgan)?
Well, guess one thing is for sure. They(officials) certainly hid their bias very, very well.
Iowa's wins this year have come against the following teams with their current record:
-Chicago State: 2-26
-Alabama State: 6-18
-Grambling: 15-12
-UAB: 17-11
-Southern: 12-14
-Drake: 15-13
-Southern Utah: 10-14
-Colorado: 15-11
-Northern Illinois: 12-15
-Illinois: 12-15
-Wisconsin: 12-16
-Minnesota: 14-14
-TOTAL : 142-179
-Winning %: 44%
Just an unbelievably terrible year. I know its been said numerous times but there is not one 'good win' on this resume. I understand there is a shortage at the point guard position. However, there are many teams across the nation who have the same issue Iowa does at PG, but are still tournament bound because of the talent elsewhere. If the talent on Iowas team right now only allows for them to beat teams with a combined 142-179 record, the state of the program is in worse shape than many of us can comprehend.

No reason why IU can’t beat either of last two opponents should be a fun final week of conference play.
I'll believe it when I see it. They need to play some defense is what needs to happen. If they would have played any during conference play, they would probably be the 4-5 seed due to the conference being down. The team might be better next year but the record probably won't due to the conference presumably being stronger
That'd be awesome. We can't finish lower than 7th, a slight chance to get to 4th. Not bad. Close to what I expected before the season, not even close to what I expected after the season started.
As a wise Powerball player once said, "You have the same chance of winning, if you play or don't play."
I'm gonna use this for the Iowa basketball team in the BIG Tournament

Yup. I thought 6th was about our ceiling. I was expecting more 7th-9th. I’m pretty happy with the progress this team has made over the last two months.
Nice work @SNU0821 some great takes
Just thought I‘d point out some things as we move toward the end of the season and into the time where people speculate on the following season.
I feel you, but you have to be a fan of your own university first. As a spartan first, if it helps us, I’m all for it (as hard as it is)
Love seeing this., What a terrific young man. The shit that young man has endured............Wow. Gret to see this. Thanks for posting...
Hatch suiting for today's game.
I'm cheering for Ohio St, Illinois, and Purdue today. It's like a bad bizarro world. I'm out of my comfort zone here!
Really have no care for who wins today. IU would need major collapses by Nebraska and UM to garner a 4 seed. I'm just hoping we can go 1-1 to end the year. With how we are playing, a win @ Nebraska wouldn't shock me. But expectations are 1-1.
If Iowa is somehow pretty good next year, nitewing is gonna roast me with all my hot takes this year. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I don't think we will be very good. I think unfortunately because I could handle the roasting sessions. I can't handle another season like this one
Is there a more punchable face in the B1G than Mo Wagner?*
