Our coach being #1 and your coach being #14 doesn’t make it an awkward chart to endorse lol
If you think the chart is meaningful then you are giving quite a bit of credit to Howard. Thanks bud.

I would expect it to have him high. He went to a single tournament and made the Elite Eight. That’s impressive.If you think the chart is meaningful then you are giving quite a bit of credit to Howard. Thanks bud.

Bet enough money on our opponents though and Vegas will have no choice but to let Iowa win, as they can't afford to pay everyone for Iowa losing.High expectations for the Hawkeyes.
Hmmm
Saw this gem on Peegs that was too good not to share:
“Ivey is a slightly better Bracey Wright.”
Bracket was definitely more of a chucker. That offense that revolved around him and the other 4 standing around was hard to watch. Ivey been a bit of a chucker at times lately. Hopefully he plays a little more within the game during the tournament. He has the speed to take guys off the dribble but he's been trying to out athlete them a little too much with the side steps and little moves around the rim. Get to the hole and get fouled.Saw this gem on Peegs that was too good not to share:

Beating Purdue was impressive, but past that beating Indiana and Rutgers wasn’t anything special.They beat 3 of the 4 teams you lost to. It's ok to admit Illinois hasn't been as sharp.
But you lost to both and OSU at home. I still think Illinois does fine in the tournament but they haven't been playing as well as Iowa has. I'm not sure why that's hard to admit.Beating Purdue was impressive, but past that beating Indiana and Rutgers wasn’t anything special.
Liddell always plays great against Illinois, unfortunately for Ohio state they aren’t going to matchup against Illinois in the tourney.But you lost to both and OSU at home.

OSU is reeling worse than Illinois, I wouldn't even say Illinois is reeling they just haven't been playing as crisp as they had been. Would you not agree?Liddell always plays great against Illinois, unfortunately for Ohio state they aren’t going to matchup against Illinois in the tourney.
It’s great and all that Iowa won B1G tourney, but we literally beat them a week and half ago.
We weren’t crisp against Indiana, but were also down a starter and had no motivation to win the BTT.OSU is reeling worse than Illinois, I wouldn't even say Illinois is reeling they just haven't been playing as crisp as they had been. Would you not agree?
Indiana beating Illinois apparently wasn't anything special either according to the NCAA committee.Beating Purdue was impressive, but past that beating Indiana and Rutgers wasn’t anything special.
Hey now, their win over us got them into the tournament! They should be grateful.Indiana beating Illinois apparently wasn't anything special either according to the NCAA committee.
Btw, I appreciate your "we didn't want to be there" attitude. You would fit right in on the football board........even though, ya know............there's not much to talk about regarding Illinois football.
RollLaughRollLaughhad no motivation to win the BTT.
We didn’t throw the game versus Indiana, but it’s clear Underwood wasn’t pushing the team to try and win it all, like last year.RollLaughRollLaugh
Your crowd beat us. Not going to mention the friendly home whistle, ooops.Liddell always plays great against Illinois, unfortunately for Ohio state they aren’t going to matchup against Illinois in the tourney.

Illinois had never had a 1st All American until Ayo? Pathetic.
We beat you on your home court earlier in the season too😂Your crowd beat us. Not going to mention the friendly home whistle, ooops.
10 pt Iowa win on a neutral court with refs from a different conference.
Illinois had never had a 1st All American until Ayo? Pathetic.
Nobody believes that, not even you.We didn’t throw the game versus Indiana, but it’s clear Underwood wasn’t pushing the team to try and win it all, like last year.
Oh I wholeheartedly believe it.Nobody believes that, not even you.
This. This was how I approached the BTT. Last year I wanted the BTT badly, because of the circumstances.You play to win the game, but aren't upset over a loss.
BTT is a little different when you already have a title in your pocket. We needed rest more than wins this year. Hopefully the rest helps. Another win wasn't going to change our seeding. Got exactly what we expected. #3 in Milwaukee.This. This was how I approached the BTT. Last year I wanted the BTT badly, because of the circumstances.
And if any year has proven that the BTT doesnt affect seeding much, it is this one. The BTT means very little for a projected top 4 NCAAT seed.
Wow that sounds exactly like my stance irt playing Johnny DavisThis. This was how I approached the BTT. Last year I wanted the BTT badly, because of the circumstances.

Lies. In fact all evidence of said game has been terminated and any publishing of "highlights" from said game are fictional slander against the University of Iowa.We beat you on your home court earlier in the season too😂
I’m happy you’ve come around to the exact point I made to you before the BTTBTT is a little different when you already have a title in your pocket. We needed rest more than wins this year.

I don't remember.I’m happy you’ve come around to the exact point I made to you before the BTT
Well it’s still in my mind. You can’t erase that… or can you?Lies. In fact all evidence of said game has been terminated and any publishing of "highlights" from said game are fictional slander against the University of Iowa.
I don't remember.
Why would Wisconsin play him (Davis) in the BTT? Seems like there’s not much upside in doing that.
We don't want to win?
If he’s not fully healthy, there’s no chance I would play him. Winning the BTT won’t change wisco’s seeding all that much, if at all. I’d rather just give him some extra rest to ensure he’s fully healthy for the tourney. If he tweaks his leg further Friday, I’d be super pissed
I'd rather not lose friday and drop to a 4 seed though.
That’s not what happens when teams lose in the conference tourneys. The committee is not going to give a shit if Wisconsin takes a quad one loss in the BTT, especially if Davis doesn’t play.
Well it’s still in my mind. You can’t erase that… or can you?
It happened literally a week ago, not exactly a grudge I’ve been holding for years. Just found it funny that you completely changed your stance.We'd played to win the game. We lost. It didn't matter. I was mildly worried about dropping to a 4 seed because we have a history of getting screwed by the committee.
But here's a cookie for hail jr.
IIRC, my stance was more on the playing Davis part than not. But carry on Hail Jr.It happened literally a week ago, not exactly a grudge I’ve been holding for years. Just found it funny that you completely changed your stance.
