You should root for UNI.

So far I'm wrong because:
-"No."
-Iowa fans hate us; we hate them. That's the proper way.
-I care too much.
I was never begging you to cheer for us - what good would that really do? I was making an argument about what you should want. Agree or don't. Doesn't matter to me.

I for one and apparently the only one will root for both. Looks like UCLA is in control of UAB, but I hope Iowa wins and destroys the winner. We had a bad morning. Happens from time to time. Off to put the final coat of mud on the patch to fix my rage. Have a good weekend peeps:smile:.
Yet you continue to post in this thread, so it sure must matter or you would go away.
At this point, I only cheer on my bracket pool. And that is in direct conflict with me cheering for UNI. Let's go Cardinals!
Are you assuming we don't see or watch off-ball movement happening and develop. Depending on your offensive talent and strategy, your off ball movement plays a big part obviously, especially if your not as offensively gifted as an ISU prototype player who can take a defender at any particular time 1 on 1. A UNI type player with the exception of Tuttle doesn't have that ability in most situations, and should be running around creating diversions, looking for screens and clogging lanes etc,.
- I can step back and take a look at the bigger picture outside of the otherwise angry bubbles people are still in around here and enjoy watching UNI and Iowa play and hope they do well. UNI makes the best of the talent they get and Ben is a great coach. A player like Tuttle just makes all the other players around him better, and he's the leader on the floor. Really fun to watch. Drake also was fantastic to watch in their NCAA bid a years ago with Emmenecker.

Not yet because most thought they would choke. They will. Last night I got sent the weak Rob Lowe cyclone pic that Hawkeye Nation tweeted out by 3 people.
Agreed, we offered Morgan because he was a babb like defender. We get it, a bit condescening and back handed overture.
Lolyou must not be on social media then, I saw more iowa fans trashing ISU than celebrating their first tournament win in 14 years,
Sure, ok. In retrospect, there is an element to the "learn defense" that does come off condescending. I didn't intend it that way, but I get it. Sorry about that. I shouldn't expect you not to be irritated with it, especially after a loss.
I don't get the hate for UNI. ISU and UNI have a mutual hate for the Hoks, isn't that all that matters?
A couple of comments:
1) I've been rooting for UNI all year; as you pointed out, we're not generally seeking the same recruits and I appreciate watching native Iowans, many of whom I watched in HS, have success on a national level;
2) I have nothing but disdain for the minority segment of our fan base who refer to UNI as "little brother"; we hate it when the "State University of" tries to pull it on us, so it's beyond me why we'd do it to UNI;
3) I probably know 100 UNI alum and seemingly 90% of them are hawkeye fans; I'm dubious in my belief there are very many Panthers pulling for ISU when the hawks and Cyclones collide!
cool:
