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

Still can't believe that ending to the Rutgers game. First Rutgers hit a lucky shot by making a tough off the dribble hitting the front of the iron and then off the backboard and then back onto the rim before going in. Then Iowa one ups the luck factor with the miraculous Wieskamp curve ball off the glass corner three. Crazy ending.
 
Wait, so Iowa fans kept saying all day that even when we had our big win it was completely overshadowed by their win. Now I’m seeing national college basketball experts all dropping Iowa nearly out of their top 25s and Iowa State went up in all of theirs. Way to go Hawks! National writers really did take note of 2 near losses to 12-13 teams! I think Iowa has a good team this year, but Iowa fans have been incredibly annoying with their trash talk non stop.


I am going to be very curious if ISU jumps Iowa in the AP ranking. Every national media member that I saw giving their top 25 has it that way. ISU as #16-#17 and Iowa staying around #24.

Totally valid in my opinion considering the context of the teams wins and play over the past week. Still the EIU "disrespect" narritive could be coming if the Fight'n Frans drop in the ranks after 2 wins.
 
I will mention, that when we hit a last second shot to beat a poor team, I feel more releaved then basically peeing my pants with excitement like the hawk fans in the video. Besides, who records themselves watching a game?

This. That just seems really weird to me.

I would expect Iowa to stay where they are and ISU back in the teens.

I'm more interested in seeing if we moved up in the Net Rankings after after Saturday's big road win. We get a bump for winning by more than 10 so I assume we will move up a couple of spots.

I would expect them to jump to at least #15. I'm hoping Iowa can stay at #28.
 
The thing stands out is that most of the videos show just one guy watching it. Much like Benji does.

Another poster obsessed with me, yikes. Yes, I watch most Iowa games by myself. That’s normally what happens when you live out of state 8+ hours away from family and friends who are Hawkeye fans.

Yep, I watched it on my phone at a friend's bday party. People thought I was nuts when I was jumping up and down by myself and screaming. Had to explain what happened and then when they saw it, they couldn't believe it either.
 
~ Iowa won (2) games in a row miraculously, against #137 and #150 RPI teams
~ Iowa will get the headlines, even though ISU's victory was far more impressive
~ Eastern IA Hok media and 99% of Iowa fans--can't name one starter on KSTATE roster
~ Iowa fans are bipolar, suggesting Fran should be fired a few weeks ago.
~ I hope Fran keeps winning, and stays @ Iowa forever, because ISU still OWNS Fran

Why is this funny @benjimill?

Because the NCAA Tournament is in many respects a crapshoot. For instance, let’s say Iowa gets a 5 seed this year, and in their pod’s 4/13 match-up, the 13 seed wins. In this scenario they would have to beat a 12 and a 13 seed to make it to the Sweet Sixteen. Pretty realistic scenario, and Iowa would be heavy favorites to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

It’s pretty dumb to claim that any team’s ceiling is the second round, outside of a 15 or 16 seed.

When a coach is 60 years old and has never been past the second round I think it's safe to call that his ceiling. Especially with his limitations

Hey, Section played Division 7 basketball, or something, he knows all that.
