Iowa vs Rutgers

[CYlent Bob]

Jesus. Those ESPN announcers sound like Jeremiah Denton reading a prepared statement handed to him by his NVA captors. Good thing they didn't show video of the pair, or else we'd see them blinking out T-O-R-T-U-R-E in morse code.

Fran probably had a grad student go out and find a bunch of kittens and put them in a microwave oven underneath the media table. "OK guys. Pump the Sunshine or else the kitties get zapped!" Eight teams making the tourney from the B1G? Lunardi should be repeatedly tased on-air for making a stupid projection like that.

You could make a better case for 8 from the Big 12 than for 8 from the B1G. That North Carolina win by Iowa is becoming the "new" version of "George Niang, who played with Nerlins Noel".

"They mentioned the NC win again! DRINK!"

Sweeped the floor with Maryland (remember them?) and beat Ohio State twice.

Swept floor with your joke of a team in your joke of an arena without two of our best. I was there with thousands of other cyclones cheering let's go state as we let off the gas pedal because the game was getting out of hand. Great times......

Lost 4 games at home this season, one where ISU (remember them) swept (thats how you say it) the floor with you.

Iowa gets one "good" win listed on their resume on Selection Sunday and three "meh" wins.

That will pale in comparison to all the teams who won't make the tourney because Iowa was listed in their "bad loss" column in the selection suite.

 

[jcisuclones]

So are Iowa fans back to thinking Fran is a great coach?

 

[Prone2Clone]

Scanned attendance was 6,879. Haha that is priceless

GIA had 7,612 last night. LOL

Sweeped?

I was talking about attendance with a fellow Cyclone at work today and the topic of Carver came up.

I was trying to think of a good way to describe that place. It just feels weird to me. You walk in at ground level and it's just a big pit, a whole in the ground.

Then I thought, it's like a landfill! And every once in a while it gets filled up with garbage.

I guess a top 25 team earns you about 800 extra butts in the seats

Give me a few minutes for the Reasons for Low Attendance at CHA poll...

Wisky is a tough team, they are totally legit. After that, the Big10 is a bunch of hot wet garbage. Which other Big10 team would be .500 against a Big12 schedule?

Probably Maryland, other than that, I'm not sure any would crack .500

According to Lunardi it's not a bad loss. They have 16 wins and have a lot of tough, close losses so it's not a bad loss; not like NW or Texas Tech.

You really don't think losing at home to a #100 RPI team isn't a bad loss?

I'm going according to the only unbiased and most informed source. That would be Lunardi, and according to him, Iowa's resume includes one bad loss and it's Northwestern.

I'm asking your opinion, not Lunardi's

 

[IA3000]

My opinion doesn't carry any weight, nor does yours but Lunardi's does..

It's not a good loss and it's not a bad loss, it's just an unfortunate loss.

It's not a good loss and it's not a bad loss, it's just an unfortunate loss.

Actually, Lunardi doesn't select the teams on selection Sunday either, so his opinion carries no weight. His bracket is just an opinion, a more educated opinion, but still an opinion. I'm guessing you think the MN loss was a good loss then? Did your RPI go up after that loss?

 

[CyTwins]

It's not a good loss and it's not a bad loss, it's just an unfortunate loss.

Lunardi isn't on the committee so his opinion doesn't carry any weight either. If it makes you feel better saying losing at home to a 100 RPI team isn't a bad loss then have at it. I hope you were one of the 6,000 people there last night cheering on your team

You think an ESPN employee is unbiased? Ha
