I watched almost all of that ridiculously terrible game. Well, :toot: I guess?

If Jeremiah Tilmon can come up like that at the end of games when necessary, I can see them getting to the sweet 16 at least.

NC State somehow didn’t buckle at the end vs. UNC. :confused:

playing Purdue is such a loving slog. Feels like we're outplaying them badly and they're still hanging around.

Also Iowa staff really needs to sit down and reconsider whether Bohannon should be starting because rthe team has been so much better with Toussaint on the court this year. If Bohannon is gonna keep shooting like poo poo it's not worth the massive downgrade on defense

I didn't even notice because i was too busy watching the Bulls get owned, but Northwestern apparently beat Indiana? They are 2-0 in the Big Ten against Michigan State and Indiana who are supposed to be good. Is Northwestern somehow good this year?

Skeptical that Indiana is actually good, even though I think they're like top 25 in KenPom

(they will now beat Iowa, of course)

They are bad at shooting, especially from 3 and the free throw line. Jackson-Davis is really good, after that though it gets pretty rough.

Early but kinda feels like Iowa doesn't have it today. Minnesota doing a really nice job on Garza

Goldy'll eventually start picking up fouls with the way they're playing interior D. If Garza stays patient and keeps his head, it's just a matter of making sure nobody but Carr goes off on the other end. Probably will be an ugly one but unless Gach or Gabe gets going (or Ihnen has a coming out party), Iowa should be good

Gophers clearly games planned for Garza (no poo poo). I don't expect Iowa to keep shooting this poorly though.

His freshman year was an aberration. Now shooting 21.6% from three. Players who shoot that poorly are told not to shoot. That's Shaq shooting free throws level of bad.

I see this is one of those big ten game where you are allowed to club someone in the face with a bat in the post with no call. Not a fan of those, not sure why the conference wants its brand to be "unwatchable slog" but it's not how I would do things, personally

Seriously? I haven't seen anything resembling that. And I'm the exact opposite. I hate games where refs take over and stop play every other time down the court.

Kentucky still not good, but only down 1 at half to Louisville. Their best lineup is when the star players are off the floor, BJ Boston especially. And the front court has been much better with Lance Ware and Jacob Toppin than starters Isaiah Jackson and Olivier Sarr.

Ugh, I didn't even give up hope like this during the Gillespie years. This sucks. Another 8 minute stretch without a basket, you can't win games like that.

Kentucky is now 1-6 and Kansas is now like 8 games behind in all time wins. We were like 16 behind last season. I don't really care about all time wins but Kentucky puts this as number one on their insufferable The List so I'm looking forward to rubbing that in on the appropriate audiences.

Baylor is really really good but Gonzaga feels like they're solidly their own tier this year. Letting them have a five star was a mistake.

This is ugly. Minor halftime gripes with a big lead: Really wish Mashburn Jr would stop gunning because he's otherwise been solid at getting the other starters (especially bigs) involved when Carr sits
