The JV team doesn't get the Magic

That doesnt make any sense.

 

[CyTwins]

That doesnt make any sense.

Sure it does

Man, it is so hilarious to read preseason posts form some hawk fans such as DanL53. Garza = Kevin McHale, Nunge = Nowitzsky?, rim protector? We are excited about Wigginton and Lard but no Cyclone fans compare them to Curry or Olajuwon.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

Does Iowa beat Penn State on the road today?

 

[herbicide]

What is your expectations of Wieskamp? Trae Young type of numbers? Fred Hoiberg? Matt Thomas? It is comical thst some Iowa fans thought Garza was one and done.

I think he'll be pretty good in a few years. He will take his lumps next year, going from 3A in Iowa to Big 10 competition is a huge jump.

Today he isn't playing anywhere near the level of competition that Wigginton did at Oak Hill, or even THT in Chicago. It's a pretty big leap from even those levels of play to P5 D1.

Purdue only beat Rutgers by 2.

I also think Wieskamp will be pretty good in a few years. I expect a career similar to Matt Thomas. Not as good shooter as Thomas but better mid range game.

Off to watch Oklahoma but after watching the first 5 minutes of the Iowa game it's clear teams are just going to attack Garza and Bohannon all day long since neither can defend at all

 

[Cyclonepride]

Iowa is entirely reliant on shooting great, because they certainly aren’t stopping anyone. 9-13 allowed so far today.

Iowa can't beat a team that has a heart beat.

 

[Doc]

I was surprised to see Nebraska is 8-4 in the B1G. Looking at their schedule, I think we’d be at least 7-5 right now.

 

[CyCrazy]

Man Iowa sucks

 

[Cyclonepride]

One does not simply walk into a middle of the pack Big Ten team and expect to be competitive.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

McCaffery wants to be fired and collect his 10 million. You can see that plain as day.

"Iowa's defense continues to be M.I.A. and defensive efficiency no where to be found today."
B1G halftime show in regards to Iowa.

 

[ISUTex]

Yes, Iowa is still historically better, but most of that is ancient history, but still history nonetheless.

Iowa has had 25 NCAA appearances, 8 conference championships, 2 conference tournament championships, 8 Sweet 16s, 3 Final Fours and 1 Runner Up

ISU has had 19 NCAA appearances, 6 conference championships, 5 conference tournament championships, 5 Sweet 16s, and 1 Final Four

A lot of iowa's success was back when they still used peach baskets.

 

[CyCrazy]

That doesnt make any sense.

It doesn't

And yet every Big Ten broadcast insists that they’re a really good team that’s just struggling.

Big 10 Network broadcasters are #fakenews.

My favorite fake news tonight from Big 10 broadcasters was the comment about it being a near capacity crowd at the PSU/Iowa game!
