    Not deserving of a reasonable response.

      Jok was 7/12 so essentially the same % as Uthoff so he wasn't the problem. His 14 point outburst at the beginning of the second half actually stopped the first run ISU had. Just an odd game with Uthoff getting 30 in one half and 2 in the other. He's so long and has that nice fall away that he can get shots almost at will. The 17 turnovers were ultimately Iowa's demise. ISU would have been in deep trouble without Thomas. He kept them in the game or it would have been out of reach.

      Then the whole "court storming caused old reporter to break his leg" crap. Media is blowing that way out of proportion as he was just a brittle old man who maybe had someone bump into him, he fell and his old bones broke. Far away from the actually fairly tame mob.

      I know you're ISU/UNI and I'm UNI/UI so I guess we'll just agree to disagree a bit. Anyway, you can't blame the coaches, remember??

        Clearly Uthoff didn't have the green light to keep shooting in the second half. Imagine if Uthoff had kept shooting . . . in addition to Jok's buckets. I think Fran took the ball out of Uthoff's hands, so I put the loss on him.

        Who are they blaming over on Hawkeye Nation?

          In the postgame interview, Fran said he wanted Uthoff to shoot it more in the second half, but for some reason he wasn't getting shots off.

            So run some plays and make it happen. You're the coach. You can do more than just say so at halftime.

            Now, back to Burton. Who on UNI can play Burton physically away from the basket? That's where I think he will be dangerous. He has the strength to muscle past a defender outside and then finish so strong at the hoop.

              Bohannon will match him. I think Bohannon is a tough matchup for Burton. However, Austin and Lohaus will be significantly challenged.

                Disagree as he is joining ISU for the first time at the matchup. The thread is about his ability and if will affect the game.

                  I think Niang will not lose any weight at this game as he will be on the bench a lot and Burton will play most of the second half. Why? ISU will be ahead of the University of No Importance by 30 at half. BOOM

                    Probably, you did manage to beat perennial power Arkansas Pine-Bluff by 14
                    Number of times on Sports Illustrated cover:
                    Ben Jacobson coached teams = 2
                    UNI teams coached by everyone ban thinks is better = 0

                      YAWN. This is the smack talk for the week?

                      Let me respond with the same amount of reasonableness, oh inflammatory one.

                      OH YEAH? Well, we're going to win by a HUNDRED POINTS!!!!!
                      Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
                      Victory for U-N-I!

                      Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

                        There is NOTHING in the first post about the UNI matchup. Read it again if you need to. It was only about ISU and their player. Original post should be in different forum or on Cy fanatic site. Don't really care at this point but you're wrong.

                            Thread = every post on this topic. Original post, a singular post that starts the thread. BOOM.
