I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

[FerShizzle]

Wow. Pretty fortunate bounces in a 7 day period.

 

[alarson]

Rutgers got screwed on what was a textbook intentional foul by Jorbo not getting called with a minute and a half left.

That and the garbage goaltending earlier.

******* Ben McLemore in the house.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

If iowa doesn’t make the national championship at this point I’d be surprised

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Still don’t think this is a team that’s going to do well in the tournament, but they’ll end up getting themselves a pretty good seed.

 

[Mick Mars]

Took a lot of luck to beat Northwestern and Rutgers- not exactly conference powers.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Also really dumb strategy by Rutgers to not have defender on the inbounder

 

[BigJCy]

Hawks just having one of those years where it all goes your way. I mean come on, banked in 3 from the corner.

I can definitely see them losing the 4-13 game with a bad mid major matchup.

With this kind of stupid luck they’re headed to the Final Four with a fan base that truly doesn’t deserve it. And we get to watch it unfold in Des Moines. We need to stop posting these stupid ******* threads & tempting karma.

They’re looking to be a likely early upset pick to me. They have potential but also have a low floor.

The floor is the floor.

 

[Rogue52]

Teams who live on the edge like Iowa has recently usually run out of luck at some point.

That...and teams rated 130 in defensive efficiency.

 

[Beyerball]

Never seen a team I don’t think ever get as lucky as Iowa has in past 2 weeks...and I’m not just saying that..to win back to back games on last second, off balance prayers is unheard of...1 a year sure...back to back? Uhm...

Iowa is either getting rolled first round or heading to the final four..

 

[TBT]

Congrats for the Hawks on getting 2 prayers from 3 to go in to beat 2 teams that are .500.

Having a defender turn his back on the inbounder is basically playing with 4 guys. Its a horrible strategy. If you’ve ever inbounded a ball before, not having anybody in front of you is exponentially easier than having a guy with his hands in your face.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Yeah, I don’t even really mean it as an insult to them. They’ve got a pretty good team. But they’re not all that good when they’re away from home.

 

[clonedude]

Fran gets outcoached, Iowa gets nearly every call in the 2nd half, and they still need a bank from the corner to beat a bad Rutgers team. Unbelievable.

 

[Gonzo]

Just makes you want to dance...

 

[exCYtable]

It's taken two miracle shots to win their last two games against Northwestern (at home) and Rutgers. Enough said...
