John Sears of WHO, the hawk douche that he is, reports the "miraculous " hawkeye victory against 12-12 Rutgers. He says more basketball later, and goes to state wrestling. What a homer!
I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

Yeah Big 12 is brutal. 8/10 teams projected in the dance and round robin schedule. You get four games where your B game can get you by. That's life in a big time conference. It is good to see the big 10 having one of its best years. Might get 8/14 in the tournament. Hopefully Iowa can keep it up and Indiana, Illinois, and some others in the Big10 can get their acts together in the next couple years so you can experience wins in a big time conference.
If you watch Iowa play, they are very good in up tempo games where their opponent isn't very physical. When teams body up well inside on them, and don't let them get wide open 3's, they struggle.
They struggle in man to man defense. They can not stop dribble penetration. So if a team can be successful against their zone, they can be easily beaten.
They won their last 2 games against lower teams on last second shots. One of these times they will not win one of them. As ISU fans, we saw how that happens against TCU.

Iowa’s transition defense is a bad. Offensively they may play well in an uptempo game but not the defense.
The Hawkeyes are sloooow. They are skilled which is why they’ve continued to sneak by average and poor teams, but their lack of foot speed has and will continue to be exploited. Very low ceiling team.
Karma is awful having a better season than Iowa.
It’s really no different than the threads on the Hawk boards mocking our team after any loss and saying how any team with size will knock us out early, and how we’re not very good.
Iowa is playing with too much fire. I'll be very surprised if they're a 2nd weekend team.
Just here to say I’m glad that Fran’s job is safe. As you were.
The Hawkeyes are living on the edge right now making 2 incredible last second shots against not very good competition...
...you should save those incredible shots to save your asses come NCAA tournament time.
Well, the principal at Ames High School is a huge Hawkeye fan also.
