I had a very bad dream last night. Illinois won 63-62, on a last micro-second three-point shot. Woodbury and Olaseni were a combined 1 for 8 from the FT line.
Please help me snap out of this.
I'm worried about this game, for some reason. Maybe it's because of the overconfidence expressed in this thread, very similar to what I was reading before the Minnesota game at Carver. And also remember the momentum Iowa had going into that game.

Not weird at all. That's the norm in all cases for all teams. Many are meltdown threads that are sometimes infected by trolls, which sometimes leads to a bunch of attacks against posters, as well as the coaches, team, players, etc.

It's funny how Fran is a genius when they win and a complete idiot when they lose.
The sub patterns won't change, in that the main 4 bench guys will continue to get minutes and Dickerson will continue to sit on the pine.
But subbing depends much on game flow, fouls, specific game...
