Next Up: The Hawkeyes

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

Do you guys think there is any chance Kerwin moves ahead of Moran, at least until Johnny starts to hit his shot? I think he'd match up better with Gatens/May and it might get JM going coming off the bench for awhile. Also, JE might be able to get another 20 off Iowa but they will slow this game to a crawl and keep the score down. It's the only way they can stay close.

Anyone have a link to the Cyclone message board?

Since the hawkeyes are next up I just checked out HawkeyeNation. It will bring a smile to your face. Some posters give UNI the credit they deserve after the win last night, others, not so much. The same crap about noone should lose to a UNI team because we can't possibly recruit an athletic player away from the almighty hawkeyes or even cyclones.
It's a great comedy routine that just continues to entertain.

The crowd for this game should be really great. We gotta win this one.

Does anyone know if this will be shown on the Big Ten Network?

It is not on the BTN. It is on channel 7.3 in Eastern Iowa (KWWL Viewing areas - I'm not sure of the exact boundries) and Mediacom everywhere else (for Mediacom customers only, ovbiously).

I just hope Iowa doesnt light it up from downtown. They have shooters that are capable of it, and other teams tend to shoot well in our building.

If they don't hit threes I think we win. God I hope we dont choke this one.

Everyone keeps saying that. I'm not saying they don't have good shooters, but I haven't seen anything so far this year.

As of today, ISU is 2nd in the nation in 3 pt FG% making 47.9%. Last night they shot 38.1% which is still too high but the way ISU hit their 3's in the 1st half I'll take 38.1% for the game. Iowa is making 29.3%.

If we can take ISU's best shot and come out on top I like our chances against Iowa.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

If the Panthers can't beat the Hawkeyes by 20 plus this year then they will be severely underachieving. If that happens you would have to seriously question the coaching. I predict they do indeed win by more than 20 points.

You're right, we should be favored, and were the better team. But, weird things happen. We've beaten Iowa many times when we weren't supposed to. This year, theyre the one with the chip on their shoulder and something to prove. It makes me nervous. Were usually the underdogs in this series.

I would imagine after watching tape of the last few games Iowa will try to neutralize our post players, maybe a 2-3 zone or something. If I were Lick I'd force Moran to make shots. Not that he isnt capable, but has been struggleing for awhile now going back to last season.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

You won't see much zone from Iowa.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

moran hitting his shots is just gravy. sometimes dunham is a better matchup due to his size, but its hard to put a value on the intensity and grit that moran brings to the court. if we needed him to score 15 points, it might be different, but we dont. we have more than enough offense.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

Do you know Big E destroyed Cougill in the PTL? Good luck Brennan you will need it. Maybe your buddy bawinkle can double down and help you out. Yeah right!

i can only expect david palmer or duez henderson to be named NBA MVP shortly.

This has been quite entertaining in the past week. First, few thought UNI had a chance to stay within ten. Many claimed that if they lost, they would become very concerned about their team

After the game: pure mass hysteria.

I find it funny because many of them have no concept that good basketball is sometimes played outside of the power conferences.

Re: Next Up: The Hawkeyes

I know it's not really our style, but I hope we really put the smack down on Iowa this year. Think of all of those years in the 90's when we were outclassed and would lose by 20 or 30. Iowa showed no mercy and neither should we.
