I agree, however if the Hawks keeps shooting 12% from beyond the arc they're not going to beat anyone decent. They got by SD by overpowering the paint. iSu doesn't have a great inside game so if the Hawks can at least shoot 30% from 3 they'll have a chance to win. Woodbury needs to try and stay out of foul trouble. He did a good job last night and would of came back in if it was a close game. They're a different team when he's on the court.

Not sure how much of a "booster" it is; it would prove that Iowa can't beat only hapless teams, I guess.
I just hope Iowa can win. Seriously Iowa needs something to silence the ISU posters/local media, etc... All that ever seems on TV/Radio in Iowa is how ISU is on the way up and Iowa is still a step behind. They need to win big like ISU did last year. If they do win, I agree it will be a good win come end of the regular season and if this Iowa team has a good enough record to be considered on the bubble for the NCAA tourney.

Exactly, we need a momentum changer. All of the focus is on the clownz and we really do need to keep pace with their rise in popularity and talent lately.
And it will be a big booster since ISU has a good chance at dancing again this year.

it may be a good win but I'd hardly call it a resume booster.

I'm confuzed on why we need to "cancel out" one of our two losses.
Losing on a neutral court to Wichita State and on the road to Virginia Tech, who are both undefeated, is not going to be the reason Iowa's bubble bursts. If it bursts at all.

It is too early to tell just how good or bad those two losses are; the thing is nobody would be talking about them as good or bad wins right now if Iowa had just done the job and won. Everyone would just be saying we'll see how good or bad the wins were come postseason.
VT could tank in league and WSU could finish as low as fifth.

My point is neither of those losses will be a Campbell, we know that. It's pretty safe to say that @VT and a loss to Witchita in Cancun won't be under Iowa's bad loss category on Selection Sunday.
Its not that Iowa's losses were bad, but more missed opportunities to build a resume.
Iowa has a fantastic chance to win this. I cant remember the last time ISU faced an Iowa team that had 6 guys returning that played significant minutes. This Iowa team has experience, and more talent than they have had in a while.
Im not expecting ISU to win this Friday.

This is a sad thread. Beating ISU is equal to beating Simpson. They suck. We should not be elavating them higher than they belong. I cannot believe this. Let's beat them and move on.

Shut up idiot.
VT 7-0 and WSU 8-0,
UTPA is 2-6
CMU IS 4-3
Howard is 2-7
Webb is 5-5
WKU is 7-2
TAMCC is 1-5
SD ST is 4-5
ISU is 6-2 and is ranked 35th by Ken pom
as these teams win their wins improve the SOS of Iowa, and a victory over ISU would help Iowa's SOS and improve rankings

Really? Ya dont say? Thanks for that herb.
BTW, have you cracked the Coker case that you were so dilligently working on around this time last year. I still dont think the timeline adds up. How about you?
That explains the multiple ISU threads on multiple message boards. Carry on.

Right meow all losses are bad. At the end of the season IF Iowa is on the bubble then we can talk which one Hirt more then others. Until then they need to do a lot to prove they are a bubble team. Step one beat the clowns at HOME! Also they need better shot production behind the arch, as one poster already mentioned.
