I'm doing a 6 hour round trip for the Kansas game Monday. So, yeah, it is possible.
Yeah but did you notice the roads for last nights game? Monday is supposed to be much better
Your simpleton mindset is amusing, but there's not a big difference between an 8+ seed and teams around Iowa's range. We're not "way better" than a young team that soundly beat us in December and that already has a better win.
Beating Purdue at home basically the same as beating Tech at home.
The same reason I have no problem giving Drake and UNI props when they have good fortune. I'll save my hate and concern for programs like KU, not a program that's been subpar for my lifetime.
LOL the excuses for Iowa's poor b-ball attendance are really neat.
"Weeknight 8:00 tip is to hard for people in DSM area"
"Sunday afternoon games are challenging to get to"
"The dorms are too far away from Carver"
"There's just so much more to do in Iowa City"
The pathetic things is that Iowa has the Quad Cities, and Cedar Rapids all within an hour and they still can't get people to fill the seats.
A 7 seed is way better than a team hoping to get an NIT bid.
Possible wasnt the right word, ideal would be better.
Congrats though, you are a better fan than me.
I'd say both are true- basically the same in the larger context of type of wins, but in the vacuum that is head-to-head comparison Purdue being the better of the two.
Let's say they're basically the same- Iowa has the convincing head-to-head and similar quality wins. There is nothing to say we're "way better". To do so requires writing off our loss to them as a bad night but counting Iowa's bad loss as the "truth". I firmly believe we win a 10 game series against them, but it likely wouldn't be by much, particularly not at the end of the year.
Really? Do your arms not work on weeknights? Do you only get a car on the weekends? You have a "no fly" restriction on weeknights?
They haven't won on the road, lost to Omaha and Seton Hall at home and lost to a bad Memphis team on a neutral court. There's a reason their RPI is MUCH worse than ours
Again, if you would read the thread instead of just posting gibberish you would see I said possible is the wrong word to use, ideal would have been a better choice.
2 kids age 5 and under, full time job, a regularly scheduled community group through our church that we have on Thursdays, and a 5 hour round trip does not make it an ideal trip for me.
Keep being obtuse as possible though.
