at .500 Purdue still has a shot at the NIT, but losing 6 out of their last 8 they are not very attractive even to the NIT

the Painter fade was in full mode.

Why would the NIT want a team who consistently sells out their home games and is in the premier league in college b-ball?

Painter fade? Think you’re confusing that with the Iowa fade.

We haven’t lost 6 of 8 either FYI.

losing teams are not a hot commodity. they will have better teams to choose from.

the BT can only carry so much weight that is why there are 10 BT teams in the discussion for the NCAAT.

besides Boiler1987 said that Purdue was 17-16
 
- If Iowa wins tomorrow they’re automatically the 4. If Ohio State wins also, they’re the 5, otherwise it’s Illinois
- If Iowa loses + MSU wins Iowa is the 5
- If Iowa loses + MSU loses Iowa is the 6

oh well its gets real interesting with everybody coming back fully Healthy. plus you won't have your nut puncher and flopper Davidson.

Garza Won't be alone @ the 5 and these will be playing the 4 and 5 vs this year where Fran had these
6'5 Connor
6'8 Pemsl
6'10 Kriener
6'11 Garza
having just 2 players 6'10 or taller teams were able to dbl/triple team Garza. with the majority being 6'6 or shorter.
6'9 Patrick if cleared to play.
6'11 Garza
6'11 Ogundele
7'0 Nunge.
next year Fran will have more taller players to rotate in
even these are 6'8
Kris Murray
Keegan Murray
Pemsl
Laying odds that Wieskamp and Garza aren't on the team next season if the transfer rule changes.

I don’t know about those two, but we might be seeing some free agency come August. Lots of roster changes for next year will be had if/when that rule changes this summer

What's the wager?

Weezy is going no where as he is not NBA quaified
Garza still has work to do to be a NBA player and the Euro leagues don't pay enough to leave early. so the Euro money will still be there the following summer.

neither will leave and come back as they have unfinished business with a loaded team next season. they will have a very good shot at the BT Championship and a shot at the Elite 8 and maybe FF.
 
hard to follow the baseball team and keep up on here,
Iowa is curb stomped Georgetown 22-2 winning their 5th in a row.

Counterpoint: Garza knows that he's not ever going to play in the NBA. Why risk injury and play for a coach players don't like playing for?

who says he doesn't like playing for Fran? as for players it seem like there are many players that like playing for Fran. keep making shit up though.
 
update on Ugundele. led his team to a win in their Post play with 21 points. earlier he had balloened up to 270 lbs while injured, now he is 255 lbs and is playing at a high level, still is raw but the potential is there.

only been in the states since he was 16, former soccer player turned BB player as a FR.

Olaseni was the same former soccer player turned BB player, Ogundele has a much better offensive game at this point. a very nice above the rim player, rebounding, blocking shots with the ability to score inside and outside with range to 3.

best thing is he will be the 3rd option at the 4 or 5. this will allow him to learn and adjust to pace of the college game. just like the other 4 players of the 2020 class.
 
switching screens to watch the Baseball game. Iowa is off to a nice start to the season 3-1 vs top 25 teams, 2-1 vs the ACC in the ACC/BT Challenge. where Iowa was the only BT team to have a winning series.

they have already had game ended because of the mercy rule. in todays game they scored 12 runs in the top of the 9th when Heller put in batters that had not played yet.
 
since Gard loses just 1 player and he signed 5 in the 20 class. who gets creaned to get from 17 to 13 scholarship players?

Nobody. We have 8 scholarship players currently. You know, the thing you love to bring up as to why Iowa sucks ass again.
 
Crazy thng is----It wouldn't shock me if Purdue got to Sunday. And then won the damn thing. I think anyone outside of NB/NW, could win the BTT.
There are a lot of teams that could win the tournament (UM, MSU, OSU, Wisc, Illinois) but Purdue isn't one of them.

they didn't suck ass this season as they are going to play in the NCAAT.

YOU sure do have a warped sense of what sucking ass means. losing 5 out of the last 7 like Purdue did is sucking ass.

what makes this so interesting there are 2 scenes that could playout
Iowa beats Illinois they get the 4 seed and Illinois gets the 5 seed
that will meet again on Friday.
or if Illinois wins they get the 4 seed and Iowa gets the 5 seed with the chance of playing on Friday.

this will bring up the question of will Iowa be able to beat Illinois for the 3rd time this season with such short turnaround. or will Illinois beat Iowa back to back on such a short turnaround.

Woodbury?
problem is NOBODY EVER got seriously hurt either. Davidson is the dirtiest player in the BT and its not even up for debate.

in countless games he has undercut players or stuck his foot out in attempt to injure players coming down with a rebound. Woody never came close to what Davidson has done the past 2 seasons.
 
Nope.

Also, there was a good portion of our fans that didn't like him even without the eye-poking accidents...............
they didn't like him because he was not a major scorer, he did though as a 4 year starter was help Iowa to the NIT Championship Game, 3 NCAAT trips 2 3rd place Ties and the 3rd best win total by 4 year starters the best 2 were under Dr. Tom back in the late 80's early 90's. the same time period when Iowa had those type of seasons.

And amazingly no one has ever been hurt by Davison. There’s no intent. But continue to bitch. It’s fun to have a player everyone hates for a change.

no intent yeah bull shit, deliberately hitting someone in the balls is definitely is with intent. just like under cutting players and deliberately sticky your leg out under players that are still in the air,

keep defending the dirtiest player in D1 BB. you are worse than he is.
