You are just a Hawkeye Fan! I like to live in "Realville" and don't think the Hawks will win tonight. This thought process just comes from a history of following the hawks. It would be nice and I'll be rooting for them and hope they prove me wrong but Iowa just does not have a great history of success in hyped up games on the big stage. (yes there are a few) Insert reply with list below if you must! I'll be interested in how Fran coaches; Iowa is DEEP and he has options, if someone is not playing well and showing signs of jitters ect.. pull em and put in someone else, go deep and run run run. MSU is not exactly inserting players from pick up games on campus, these are division 1 players who chose MSU over alot of other teams and what I'm worried about is they insert a Jok like player who lights up the hawkeyes because Iowa did not plan for them.[/QneUOTE]
Ever follow the Hawks vs MSU at Carver.....
Michigan was the only team that really beat us. Every other loss we beat ourselves after leading almost the entire game. We led VIllanova and Iowa State until the last two minutes or so. We can within 3 points of Wisconsin at Kohl, that's with giving them 7 free throws in a row when we were ahead by two and don't forget we beat number 5 Ohio State in Columbus. We started their decline. We have learned to keep our composure at the end of games and make more free throws. We play the Spartans as well as any team in the Big at home. They have suffered humiliating losses here, and without two starters, one a maybe, but if he plays is not at full strength. I would think the odds are in our favor and they actually are. We should and will win this game. We owe them big time and Fran and the team have not forgotten the bad loss at Thugville and the sneaky win last year at Carver, the uncalled foul by Trice on McCabe near the end of the game. I will never forget the smile on plasticface's mug when he got away with it. We WIN tonight.....
All you have to do is viciously foul McCabe and we win......

I assume Kaminski will start again, as he did against Michigan. He got off to a rough start and really wasn't a factor in that game. I guess the key is to make sure he gets off to another rough start. If he starts, I guess the matchup is Basabe, assuming Gesell has Appling, Marble has Harris, and White has Valentine.

Our depth gives us the win tonight, should cover and impress on national tv.
Well said! CHA is not going to rattle MSU, should be a good game and good luck to the Hawks!

OK, I'm fine now. I got over my negativity.
I'm fired up, nervous and anxious, but fired up.
