Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[Cydkar]

As somebody else mentioned, if Iowa was playing Iowa State today, Garza would have played.

And Pemsl.

Well, maybe if they get their dream . . . . which is NEVER happening. They have posters who want Fred to replace Fran, posters who want Fred to replace Barta and even posters who think Fred should come to Iowa City and be an ASSISTANT TO FRAN. That last one made me laugh out load.

Should be a fun one to watch today. This one really is a must win. You can't lose to Nebraska at home if you want to make the tournament. Starting 0-4 in conference would be a huge hole to try to dig out of to make a respectable season.

Oh yeah, and congrats again to Iowa on their Super Bowl win in December. We'll just stay over here and win conference games.

Still thrilled Iowa State landed him @SilverBack?

Iowa +1.5 has a too good to be true feel to it tonight. Yes, I'm aware Cook is questionable.

Penn State is really bad, I expect Iowa to win fairly easily tonight.

Penn State can't score. Their AdjO is 50+ spots worse than Okie State for reference

If I was a gambler, I'd be all over that. Good thing I am not, and because every time I've had that feeling I've been dead wrong.

I have a gambling friend that always looks for these too good to be true bets and bets against conventional logic. He usually wins those bets.

They're gaming people about the Cook injury.

Which is why I want to bet Illinois tonight

Yeah, especially those 1.5ish lines. Straight up Vegas bait.

I have a hard time picturing Iowa going 1.5 years (or however long it was) without winning a road conference game, then winning two in a row without their best player. Penn St. is not nearly as bad as their record would indicate.

The Big 12 is better this year than the Big 10 and has been for many many years. Not sure what is trolling about that
