Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

Well considering how dominant Iowa is over UNI, I think people were pretty surpised at how he reacted. I thought Iowa didn't even care about UNI? You would would have thought it was "their superbowl" after that reaction.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

it was not a question. freeman has been a combo since he came to iowa, but look who was playing in front of him. he is St. Joe's all time leading scorer and he is going to be counted on to score, not distribute. anyone who knows iowa hoops knows that he is much, much better playing off the ball. you are correct in saying that he has played alot of PG in his career, but that was out of necessity. he also played the 1 by committee last night due to the short bench.

That was the third trial...the first two trials found them innocent.

You're completely wrong on this.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

This is ridiculously stupid. If I'm not mistaken, your "starting" PG on your beginning of the season depth chart ACTUALLY DID PLAY LAST NIGHT, and played pretty well, bum foot or not.

Who started at PG every game of the season except for UNI? Jeff Peterson. Who would've started against UNI if he was available? Jeff Peterson. Even with Jeff Peterson out last night, did Tony Freeman start at PG against UNI? No. I think it's fair to call Jeff Peterson Iowa's starting PG at this point. However, I'm sure that Freeman will see plenty of time at PG this year (as nobody other than Peterson is capable of effectively running the point). We'll probably see rotations at the 1, 2 and 3 of Peterson (1), Freeman (2) and Johnson (3); Freeman (1), Johnson (2) and Kelly (3); and, Peterson (1), Freeman (2), and Kelly (3). Who ends up being the starting PG depends largely on the development of Peterson and Kelly (i.e., which lineup is most effective down the stretch) because both Freeman and Johnson will likely be starting at the 1-2 or 2-3 throughout the season.

Also, of course Freeman played well last night, it was a warm-up game for Iowa's grueling Big Ten schedule. A cupcake so to speak. Of course Iowa's best returning player from last year is going to play well against the cupcakes.

Iowa cares about winning every game, whether it's Maryland Eastern Shore or UNI. Also, you must've missed my last "Super Bowl" post. I'll repost it for your convenience as everything I previously posted still applies. Enjoy:

This is a pretty ridiculous statement considering that nobody who suited up for Iowa last night was from the State of Iowa. I'm sure kids from Antioch, TN (David Palmer), Franklin, IN (J.R. Angle), Maywood, IL (Tony Freeman), Tyler, TX (Justin Johnson), Carmel, IN (Jake Kelly), Chicago, IL (Cyrus Tate), Kansas City, MO (Jaryd Cole), St. John's (Kurt Looby) and Vandalia, OH (Seth Gorney) always dreamed of playing the mighty Panthers of Northern Iowa.

On second thought, maybe the team with 3 of 5 starters growing up in Iowa. Guys who always dreamed of playing for the University of Iowa (but were passed over) are on the team that just lost their "Super Bowl" to the University of Iowa.

Webster City, IA (Jared Josten) - Starter
Bondurant, IA (Kerwin Dunham) -Starter
Bellevue, IA (Jordan Eglseder) - Starter
Ackley, IA (Adam Viet)

My condolences.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

Honestly people, this smack talk between 2 programs that have plenty of concerns right now is rediculous. Congratulations to the Hawks on a nice win on the road last night. Clearly, we at UNI expected a victory and are very disappointed about the loss. Iowa has bragging rights for a year, and there isn't a whole lot we can do about.

That said, I don't think either program is in a position to be talking smack or purchasing Final 4 tickets at this point.

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

No way. Freeman's been the 1 his entire career. Peterson is their PG for the future. If Freeman's healthy, he's the guy. He was last night.

Freeman didn't start at PG last night. When he eventually entered the game, he ended up playing the position out of necessity due to Peterson's absence. As I mentioned earlier, I'm sure Freeman will see time at PG this year, but whether he ends up starting at PG depends largely on Peterson and Kelly's development (i.e., Iowa will play their best lineup, Tony will be in that lineup but may likely be at the 2).

Re: Two Noteworthy Milestones This Evening

UNI's point guard at the moment is Josten....who had never in his life played the point untill this year.

And UNI a cupcake? That cupcake has beaten Iowa more often than not in the last few years so explain to me why you cant regularly beat a cupcake. Now Louisiana Monroe, thats a cupcake.

These posts are brought on by UNI's arrogance, not Iowa's confidence. Iowa fans expect this year to be a rebuilding year, UNI fans had higher expectations for their team. As was shown last night, those expectations were unfounded. Best of luck the rest of the year.

I honestly cannot think of fans more arrogant than hawkeye fans.

Louisiana Monroe, Northern Iowa, what's the difference really? 1 team is 4-4 with losses to Kansas and MSU and a big win against Iowa on the road, the other is 6-2 and hasn't played anybody.

So now you know how Ohio State and Michigan fans feel about Iowa.

Really, maybe you can post a link to an Iowa fans post spouting off to a Michigan or Ohio State fan as evidence that Michigan or Ohio State fans think Iowa fans have unfounded arrogance? Good luck.

Why don't you stop binge drinking for one minute ( because that is mostly what Iowa students do) and realize that it is the epitome of arrogance to go to another teams message board and start talking crap.
