Another thriller in Iowa City

[Luckycat]

Gosh I wish I was in Iowa City to see the game. Fran has really cranked up the quality of his opponents. At the half-----Iowa 52---Arkansas Pine Bluff 15

They are getting some great experience for the Big 10 schedule run for 8th place. What a joke.

Its an indefensible schedule.

Re: Another thriller in Iowa City

so Iowa's non-conference basketball schedule is similar to Youngstown State's non-conference football schedule (outside of the money game)?

Re: Another thriller in Iowa City

The best part about their schedule is they played 2 quality teams who could play and compete in the Big 10 and lost both games. Perhaps a sign of things to come during the conference season?

25+ point wins against APB, Farliegh whoever & all the other no names really prepared Iowa for games like ISU when they choked away a lead.

No offense, but you must have selective amnesia. Iowa has wins over Notre Dame, Xavier, and UTEP. They lost two games to undefeated top 20 teams away from home by a combined 8 points. Not a Hawk fan here, but they have played good ball thus far.

3 quality wins and 8, eight cupcakes...hmmmmm

I would disqualify ND as quality win. They have played a soft schedule, only win of consequence is over Indiana.

Re: Another thriller in Iowa City

Xavier will be lucky to finish in the top half of the new Big East and UTEP isn't a tournament team. If Iowa doesn't win at least 10 Big Ten games they are going to have some serious resume issues and Fran has no one to blame but himself.

Re: Another thriller in Iowa City

Doesn't matter this year. Iowa has the toughest schedule in the big ten. Pretty dumb to overschedule when that happens.

Re: Another thriller in Iowa City

Also Iowa is in a similar situation as Wisconsin where the schedule looked good on paper before the season but it didn't pan out. Bucky has parlayed that into a top 5 ranking.

teams with sub-500 conference records shouldn't be eligible for the tournament anyway. (at least that is what people said in regards to UNI football this year). but I know they don't take that into account when considering money-conference teams.

you completely miss the point. They have not played a real road game (on opponents home floor) all season w/ the exception of the trip to L'Ames. The loading up of cupcakes in Iowa City is extremely unimpressive & is doing nothing to help battle test them for the rigors of the road in the B10 like a trip up the road to C-Falls. This was all predicted last year of course.
