Idk how many times I heard the phrase "...You can't fault the effort" tonight.

It's refreshing to be confident in a game where we bring our C+ stuff. I really don't want this to go down to the wire, but I think we'll end up sealing it with 1:45 or so left. On a side note: I don't know about you guys, but if 6 year old me was watching this game through the BTN2Go app, I...

I made my first trip to Indianapolis for the FB championship, and really liked the vibe. I can't even imagine how cool it'd be to have upwards of 14...er...12 (Not sure if Minny or Rutgers would consider it worth the trip :p) Big10 fanbases unleashed on the city. So I wanna make it back for the...

Really? Were we in some kind of groove?

I wasn't a fan of a couple of the calls against Melsahn. White and McCabe needed his body in there to counter the brute physicality we were matched up with.

Exactly. Come tournament time--especially a play in game--the mentally stronger team has to be considered the favorite. It's too bad we have such a propensity to lose close games, as I could see us competing with anyone on our side of the Midwest.

It's bad in that we haven't played well, but as you say it's not necessarily bad in terms of our NCAA tourney forecast. We can play with anybody, and while that's been part of the problem in trying to close out the B1G season, our depth gives us the firepower to make any tournament game...

"Michigan is the second best team in the country at not fouling and Iowa gets to the line more often than anyone in the Big Ten. The Wolverines are playing at home, which should provide an advantage, but their ability to avoid fouling will be tested." Unfortunately, I think it comes down to...

STOP PLAYING TO GET FOULED!!! It doesn't work against Wisconsin, and it especially doesn't work in Madison.

Fran McCaffery of Iowa Hawkeyes talking longevity, building program - ESPN Had no idea he'd been a head coach for so long (started at 26!!) Really like the way he comes across as both a communicator and a coach

I'd take that bet, not to show up a Hawk fan trying to clown a clone, but Kansas will be a bit sporadic IMO. Wiggins is still the best player yet to play a professional/college game though...

I just wonder what kind of stock to put into this tournament, as originally I would've been very disappointed to not make MSG. However with the likely lack of a 2nd home game, I'm not confident in the least bit on Iowa's NIT chances. That being said, if we win two games, does that lower your...

So would we have been better off getting to play either Illinois/Minnesota in the 1st round, then hoping that another win over one of them would look better than beating Northwestern and then losing to MSU?

Are there any more details on the event? I'm not interested in participating, but we might be covering this at the DI..

Anyone wanna try their hand at a breakdown of key matchups? I know zilch about Oregon basketball.

It's being scared to play a team that we have nothing to gain from beating, and as you can see, everyone plays 'chicken little' when we lose. If we had squeaked out a miracle in 3OT, would we still look back on this as a worthy game? No. I'm scared to play Wisconsin this year, but I would much...

I'm just wondering, is it the prospect of change that worries people so much about trying to get rid of them from the schedule every year? Maybe even throw around the idea of getting them in the middle of the conference season. Do we really have that much riding on the game being played? At the...

I was on board with you til the bowl comments. January bowls are being handed out based on reputation and money more now than ever, and we are reaping the benefits. I just wish a win would mean as much to us as it seems to for them.

Haha I'm not crying. I just wanted to know if anyone (else) who thought it was funny that the trophy broke had a picture of the remains. I'm just polishing my writing and using this as an outlet. You're calling the kettle black when you complain about others' complaints...fyi.
