I think the rivals forum exists to funnel them out of the other forums. Works for the most part. :)

Good point. Have to admit I've only visited this forum maybe once or twice this year, but I wanted to see what CF posters were saying about Wisconsin. Didn't know a bunch of rivals would come right over here after a game to roar. (guess that's why its called the rivals forum-my bad) Makes me barf. Just like SoundOff does. Quit watching it a long time ago.

Did you say the same when Iowa choked the last 2 away at Hilton?

Nope. You didn't have 3 turnovers in the last two minutes. Or go 5-14 from the line. Everybody made a big deal out of Uthoff's inbounds blunder. Different type of game anyway. So you're saying you choked away the whole second half then?
 
Fran has done a good job with this team. The question is how much can they improve in the off season, or are they already close to their celling. The Big 10 also has to get better next year, doesn't it?

What?

In 2015, Iowa was up 8 with under 2 minutes left and committed 3 turnovers in the last 1:04.

In 2013, Iowa was up 5 with 1:29 left and Iowa committed 1 turnover and went 0-4 from the FT line in the last 89 seconds.

Yeah I peek in every now and then too, best left in small doses. Living out of state nobody really cares so I have to get SOME hate in. ;)

You can't claim a team who brings back a bunch of average players is an NCAA lock. They could make it, they could miss it. The best realistic prediction is bubble team assuming players improve, if they don't improve they have about a 0% chance losing by far their best offensive player.

Outside of Cook they don't have many (if any) players other teams would chose to build around if they could. Bohannon is just a capable 3 point shooter, if he's the point guard he brings a ton of liabilities with that shooting. He won't suddenly become a better shooter playing with below average guards instead of an All Big Ten guard next to him, that's never how basketball works.

Somebody like Donovan Jackson is just as good a shooter and brings a ton of other things to both sides of the ball. Somebody like Lindell Wiggington might as well be a different species.

Lololololololololololol you can't be serious. Bohannon is just a "capable" three point shooter? He was one of the best three point shooters in the Big Ten as a freshman. And saying Donavan Jackson is just as good a shooter? My god.....if all Bohannon's threes were wide open catch and shoot jumpers like Jackson's, he would probably be shooting damn near 60%.

I need more. I still don't see anything showing an ISU win over Iowa? Maybe I'm missing it?

I don't see it either, maybe we can find something at Nebraska Omaha's library.
Edit: Probably archived at University of Iowa's since the game was played there.

Yea im not so sure jackson is a better shooter than Bohannon and I hate Iowa more than the Russians...Bohannon is a really good shooter.

As for Iowa..If they beat Penn st their RPI might actually drop slightly..Wisc is on a complete downward spiral and they will be lucky to be a 7 seed at this point. The committee is going to pound the BIG come selection Sunday because they pounded them when they released their top 4 seeds weeks ago and on Wisconsin was there. Also, Iowa has 17 wins not 18..They don't count wins vs non Div 1 teams but they do count losses vs non Div 1 teams. That Omaha loss is haunting Iowa...badly. It is by far the worst loss of any team in discussion for the Tourney and its not close. That loss is like losing 3 games.

Wisc has lost 5 of 6..Maryland had lost like 7 of last 9 when Iowa plays them as well...It's not surprising to me in the least that Iowa beat these teams. Iowa has been playing carefree nothing on to lose bball..Now I'm interested to see how they play when the pressure is on.

One is shooting 45% from 3, the other is shooting 39% from 3. Bohannon airballed a wide open 3 by 4 ft before he made the one at the end.
