Ok so more proof that Iowa is Gawd awful this year after 1st half dismantling by PSU
- Thread starter 8Stars5Banners
- Start date
If you think that’s the same Iowa team that shows up to play us, bless your heart.
I think the IA game is a good yardstick. A true top-20 IU team should win by 10. Without TJD the score will be closer. Some of the 3 pt snipers that killed IU in the Big 10 tourney are gone. Only one of the Murray brothers is left. Presuming IA’s last 2 losses mean IU should win going away, may not wash with all the flu going around.

Shrewsbury is building something over there. PSU could be someone to contend in the coming years if he can keep the momentum he has.
It's tough to win on the road in the Big Ten. Coming off 2 losses. Probably students back. Iowa will be motivated.
But their defense against PSU was really bad.
Because they were down 18 at the half, and had a good chance to win the game. Only ended up losing by 4. If you think we're going to blow them out at their place, you're smokin' some premium stuff.
Classes don’t start until the 17th so I doubt that many students come back this early ….any word on how TJD’s back is doing? Thought with the rest he might give it a go

None of my people care about psu basketball. It is all football. Now last yr they got some digs on me because they knew my wife and I attended the psu iu game when iu got beat
On the road at a place where they usually put up about 15 threes vs us. That about sums it up.
Screenshotted and saved.
Some post made here.
Iowa will play their best game versus IU. Book it!
Don't know if you saw the recent podcast with Don Fischer and Jim Coyle.
Don was very frank that the team doesn't understand what ndiana basketball means and that when Indiana is on the front of the jersey they will get every team's very best game. IU's opponents understand what IU basketball means more than the IU players.
Unserious and joking around before several games including Elon.
Woody has to know this and it will be interesting to see how he has addressed it after break,
The winter sport in State College is wrestling. I bet they have more fans at a Tuesday night dual meet against Our Lady of Perpetual Suffering than at a home basketball game.
So was that a soft team that jumped out to an early lead at home against NCU? Perhaps you’re confusing it with the soft team that beat Xavier on the road……there are times when we appear soft and times when we are not, that’s why you play the game and it is not decided on message boards
Xavier game, X and TJD brought some. But UNC is not tough like Rutgers, Kansas, UofA were soft and not at home.
To be a tough team you need it every game and not in spurts.
When you come out sof to Elon and KSU at HOME you are not bringing it every day.
Hence they are soft with the occasional ability to reach a somewhat tough mentally

Great point!!!! Now as a basketball fan it is cool to see IU up and close at Breslin. The two games we have been at since being here have been great seats. The first year we were almost behind the IU bench. I was close enough to see beard stubble on those guys as they came out onto the court.
Iowa is down to 50 in KenPom. At 8-6, I don’t see how they aren’t lower.
For a program that seems to never guard….consider, they are 111th in defense, and only one team above them in KenPom is worse.
