Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

Crazy how good Iowa is right now. They're a very impressive team.

They are definitely something different in the Big 10. They are the anti-Big 10 and it's almost impossible for the rest of the plodders in that conference to stop them.
 
Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

So they were not exposed when ISU closed over a 20 point deficit in one half?

That was before they got on this run. They are a noticeable better team now and they have a lot more contributors than when we played. Apples and oranges right now.

Interesting that this run coincided with them getting to play big10 teams. The missed free throws and layups by Purdue today have been pathetic. TCU played tougher than this team.

I think their bench development partially happened because of the ISU game though. ISU exposed a flaw, and Fran, being a really good coach, has been working to address it by playing their bench more.

Eh, Uhl and Baer are servicable but they are still the same overall team. Uthoff and Jok are still the engines that drive the team.

Some of you guys are embarrassing. I think the Hawks have caught lightning a little here and may come back down to Earth, but to completely discredit what they've done in the last month is ridiculous.
 
Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

Since our game, no one has come close to challenging the Hicks. Bunch of dorks who are playing well as a team.
 
Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

After watching this game today I decided to go back and look at how Purdue got themselves ranked. They've beat absolutely no one so far this season. Their best win was at home to Michigan with losses to Iowa, Butler and Illinois. How was this team ranked at all?

I could see how this would be considered a decent win, but it's been discussed as a win against one of the better teams in the conference. I just don't see it.
 
Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

Sure the B10 is bad. But Iowa deserves a lot of credit. It's not easy to have an undefeated run like they've had in any P5 conference.
