Yep, this 21-win season gives him at least two more "get outta jail for free" cards.

This is the first 20-game conference season. The mentality it takes to try just as hard every game at the end of the season may not be there unless there is some critical element to the that particular game. Rutgers was really pissed by the way they loss the game in Jersey. They were so...

I will watch the games and enjoy any remaining wins. Even if they don't win any more games, they will still finish at 21-12 - a lot better than I expected. With the talent and coaches we have that is pretty good improvement over last year. The only thing that would ruin this season for me is...

Impossible to predict because this team wins or loses based on 3pt shooting accuracy at this point in the season. If they continue to shoot around 30% as they have the last 3 games, 0 and 4 finish is most likely.

If they lose the last two road games and their first game in the tourney, an 11th seed play in game is more likely.

that was a really, really, rough game currently shooting 28.9%

He is truly living the dream

I have been critical of aspects of JBO's game, but he has been sensational the last few weeks. He has contributed a ton more than I expected this year. In my opinion, he is the team's most valuable player. In terms winning or putting us in a position to win games nobody else has played a...

The benefit of winning at the last second a couple of times breeds hope. Play as hard as you can even if it takes a miracle to win. My guess is that if they lost the NW game they might have given up after Rutgers made that lucky three with under 4 seconds to play.

Not our day. Just can't score, team is too tense. Defense is solid. Hopefully they loosen up

out rebounded 21 to 10 Turner and Law 32 of NW 41 points. Perhaps we should guard those two on the perimeter in the second half. Just sayin ...

There have been different guys on different nights making clutch plays. Good to see both Cook and JBo step up big time tonight

Iowa has played 9 games against teams currently ranked in the NCAA Net Rankings Top 50. We have won 4 (Michigan, Iowa State, Nebraska, and Ohio State) and lost 5 (two to MSU, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Minnesota). Assuming they beat at least 3 "terrible teams" they are in. Win a couple more than...

I need to correct something - it was only 6 out of 10 games where our opponents scored more than 80 points. I agree that we need guard folks on the perimeter during the first 8 minutes. It seems that when opponents have clean looks early in the game they get in a groove and make them later...

I am not one to go from one extreme or the other. After seeing 21 games so far this year, the team is definitely better than last year; we just disagree on how much better. In the first half of the B1G, we ended up winning one more game that I thought we would - OSU. That was based on their...

Exactly! He has wasted his time working on his jump shot. With his athleticism, the coaching staff should have focused on refining his blocking, rebounding, and defense. Stuff he doesn't enjoy but its the only way he'd ever make it in the NBA. Also, he is a turnover waiting to happen outside...

If they win only one more game, they are a lock for the NIT based on their current resume and having a winning record (17-16). It's more likely that they will win at least 2 more games out of the 3 winnable home games (Northwestern, Rutgers, and Indiana). Of the ten B1G games played, eight...

Not being mean or trolling, this is a solid NIT team, nothing more

Turnovers keeping Illinois close Cook with 3, Kreiner with 2

In the first 8 minutes, Hawks look great.
