Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

I'm actually surprised he pulled the trigger on the subs only up 17 with just under 2 to go. Usually he subs n with bout a min left.

Sorry, I don't want Lakes BS to get a big head. I got ahead of myself. I've been drinking since 10 mins before the UNI game began. Don't judge anything I post. I just hate IA and want anyone to beat them, even NDSU

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

A little perspective here for the Hawkeye wanna be's....

one NCAA tourney win in 14 years.

How is that possible for a Big 10 team?

It's not that unheard of...

Northwestern has never even played in a NCAA tournament game.

Nebraska has never won a game in the tourney either (0-7).

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

I actually like Iowa to beat Gonzaga. Gonzaga wins by overwhelming you with length, that's not going to bother Iowa.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

Gonzaga favored by 9......seems high to me as well.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

Gonzaga hasn't seen a team like Iowa all year in their weak conference. Iowa, however, has seen many like Gonzaga, playing in the Big 10. This game is a toss-up, especially given the fact at how well Aaron White's been playing/leading. I expect the Iowa length and deceptive quickness at the wings to really bother the Zags. Wiltjer is going to find it much more difficult to shoot over Uthoff than a normal smaller guard. Even if he can beat him off the dribble the Hawks usually have good rim protection. Containing Pangos is a must for them too. He's their leader and makes 'em go.

The game is not a tossup. Gonzaga is the better team and has the better players, they should win the game.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

I watched the Gonoza / NDSU group last night from the end of the court. Either NDSU played played the game of their lives, or the Gonzaga fans should be very worried. I was very unimpressed with the Zags defense, especially down low.

My experience may be colored by the two Gonzaga "bros" sitting in front of me for the game. Yelling like Rick Flair every time a FT was made. You would have thought they were pounding the Dream Team.

If I had watched the games yesterday and didn't know what the seeds were, I would call this game a toss-up. Gonzaga would have at least 4-5 or maybe 6 losses in the Big 10.

I always hate that argument when it's applied to us, and I disagree with it here. I think they lose to Wisconsin and maybe one or two other games. This is a very good team that has played the whole season with a target on their back.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

I was watching Providence vs Dayton late last night. Those two teams were god-awful to the point I could barely stand to watch them play. They said Providence had wins over Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Butler this year and were 7-8 vs tourney teams. Shows how mediocre you can be and still build up a resume when you run in the money conference circles.

Anyway my point was going to be they said Providence hasn't won a tourney game since 1997. Still haven't.

Re: NCAA Tournament - Iowa

Gonzaga didn't look too special against the bizzon either and Iowa suddenly looked like a team that belonged. I still don't expect Iowa to win, but if they do and UNI wins it will mean UNI has been to the S16 twice since Gonzagas last appearence (2009).

it is their pre-destined divine fate to lose.
