AIB-Iowa City vs. Purdue-Bloomington

Iowa's RPI still well below 40, at 47. That pretty much screams 8-9 game for a power 5 team. But those kids are playing well, despite their lack of ability. There's a chance they can improve on their seeding with a good showing in the Big 10 multi bracket free for all next week.

It's 36 now. They're easily in now.
 
I could understand you posting this if we lost, but you do realize we won that game, right?

You're missing the point here- 78 hates all things Iowa and his posts contradict common sense most of the time. Was just pointing out beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Iowa State won a great game-I watched it all-my wife is an ISU fan.
 
Their guard play is terrible, that'll catch up to them IMO

I prefer the term "spotty". If Gesell and Jok play well enough (limit turnovers), I have confidence that Olaseni, Uthoff, and White can lead the team to a victory or two. Jok last night played horrible for 30 minutes, but played well enough down the stretch to hit some clutch shots. I was ****** that Fran left him in, but that might have given him the confidence he needs (hopefully).

Iowa's 4 guards they play (Gesell, Jok, Clemmons and Ogeslby) combine to average 23 ppg and none can really create their own shot besides Gesell's mid range jumper. Jok has 11 turnovers in his last 3 games and is averaging less than 20 mpg in those games. I think terrible is pretty accurate.
 
^^^^Not a Hok fan... Have you decided to come out of the Hok closet yet? I'm sure your parents will still love you.

yes, HOK FANS!!!! really, really care if games AGAINST them count as top-50 wins. jerkoff.

Kind of surprising when you come to a RIVALS board? Newsflash for you: most of us here hate all things Iowa as well and would be okay with a huge sinkhole opening up and swallowing Iowa City.

Difference between dislike and hate- great way to go through life. Carry on.
 
Did you attend the University of Iowa? Trying to figure out where you learned the hyphen at

You need to worry more about the Peter Jok> Matt Thomas conversation. Pete played more like Matt last night.

To be fair both have been pretty bad all year. They have shown flashes but they're both shooting 37% from the floor. I'm just happy we don't have to start Matt

Yep. One is a starter, the other one is a bench player. Ridiculous comparison.

To go with deanvogs "logic" Fran will be looking to push Jok out after the season then.
