Yeah dude I know it wasn’t a good showing. I’m not under the impression that IU is a good program. I said I didn’t think they were going to win before the game.
I knew you weren’t going to win. I didn’t think it’d be that bad. Tough coming out of the first four.

I didn’t watch the game. Were they doubling TJD or were they able to defend him straight up?

They were just having trouble getting him touches. St Mary’s wasn’t really doubling post touches but they were containing dribble drives and covering up passing lanes. IU also legit gave up with like 18 minutes left in the second half, so there wasn’t much to take away from that period of the game. It’s been a mentally weak group of players for awhile (part of the reason why they lost so many games late in conference), and St Mary’s broke their spirit with their relentless offense. They’re a slow pace team, but they’ll just ball screen you to death and that’s what they did to IU

Was just curious because I’ve watched some SM games this year and their team defense is very legit. Bummer to end like that but a lot to build on for IU

They're a tough team for sure. Felt like we were playing ourselves when we beat them in Maui...errrr...Vegas.

All conferences should IMO- problem is CBS paid big bucks to BTT for that time slot, so don't know if they can get out of it...
I talked about this on the homebound.

Unfortunately, I doubt the Big Ten will want to give up that cash cow. Prime spot right before the Selection Show making it one of the most viewed non-tournament games of the year.

In fact, even though the numbers were down slightly from last year, the Iowa-Purdue game was the second most-watched game of the year, just behind Duke-UNC the prior week for Coach K's last home game.
 
Iowa isn’t good enough to have haters
And yet here you are.

Btw, good call last week on thinking Iowa wasn't talented enough to beat Indiana (who improved to 0-2 against us on the season).

I'll wait for your excuses about how you almost won. ;)

P.S. Borden used the "you at least won a game" card already, and everyone already knows that Iowa lost yesterday, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how you recover from your mistakes....:D
 
Murray went 8-10 from three and it still took a half court bank shot prayer for Iowa to win against a slightly above average Indiana team. Indiana isn’t that good this year either and nobody has claimed they were.
Whoops never mind. Here it is lol.

It's always fun making fans have to talk about how bad their team is to defend themselves. ;)
 
You've been reduced to vicariously living through your mid-major cousins........for shame.

That's like me saying oh yeah well at least Drake > Richmond.......and apparently by proxy > Virginia as well. ;)

Championship programs don’t have to live vicariously through anyone. Enjoy your meaningless B1G tournament championship trophy. That’s the only trophy you’ll ever see under Fran
