Can you whack a Gopher on the road game thread?

I don’t know why I continue to let this team surprise me. Great win today.

Unforced turnover by the other team late? That never happens. The other team missing late free throws? That never happens. What the hell is going on in this world?

Iowa is tied for third with Rutgers and sparty and Iowa owns the tiebreaker against Rutgers. Sparty will be decided shortly

We just won a road game with Fredrick out and two points from Wieskamp. Crazy

I was thinking the same thing. We just won in the barn shorthanded with two points from Wiesy.

These are the kinds of games we used to give away by the bushel basket. And it would make all the difference in conference standings and tournament seedings, or between NCAA and NIT.

We did the exact same thing at Minnesota that Maryland did at MSU yesterday. The exact same freakin thing!!!!!

Evelyn doing senior things. Stepping up with no Fred. Bakari and Ryan are going to be huge down the stretch. This team has cajones. Some, OK many, will say this still won't make up for Nebraska loss.

I think it does. No other conference team has won up there this year except Michigan State.

Nothing will ever make up for the nebby loss except maybe a sweet 16. That team is terrible.

These wins just make the sting a little less.

BE stepped up FTs

Kriener stepped up with the block

Cordell played well today
Hawks are junkyard dogs!

Agree and it would have been an equally crushing loss. This wasn't Indiana or Purdue shooting out of their mind. Minnesota played flat, uninspired basketball and it would have been a crusher to let that opportunity slip away.

Maybe we just have to win at Michigan State...anyone want to bet against that?

That terrible Nebraska team nearly beat Penn State and Rutgers on the road.

Or was it Maryland and Rutgers. They're not good, but they will slay an unsuspecting dragon before this season ends.

Really short on talent. JW has awful game. Found a way to win in hostile road game. Cmac was big.

I didn't have faith. The crow is delicious

I ran the bracket simulator to find a path to a Big 10 title and it was surprisingly easier than I thought. I even found a way to win it outright. To win a share, we obviously need to win out. But then we need Penn State to lose 1 more which they almost certainly will, and Maryland to lose 3 more. They have 4 tough games left so it is possible.

And just so people know, I do that because it's fun for me to hope. Not because I think we will win out. The odds of us winning out are next to zero.

We finally have a best player who is a great leader and a clutch player. It makes such a huge difference.

I came out of my Nyquil-induced coma to watch the 2nd half.
Thought to myself this might be THE TOUGHEST Iowa team I can recall.
Seems like whenever Garza bleeds WE WIN!
Love how Evelyn stepped up and nailed the FTs and Kroener with that block!
Luka is our Rocky
and also soon to be
1st Team AA & National POTY!

Holy shit gopher Twitter right now

 

[Stanzi]

Great win for the Hawks today. Joe W was extremely disappointing. There's really no excuse for your second best player only scoring 2 points. He needs to play with a lot more intensity.

 

[PCHawk]

You gotta think Garza locked up Big 10 player of the year today right?

I'm sure people will still vote for Winston to avoid pissing off Izzo

This team is completely opposite of Frans past teams. Most of his teams have been soft and mentally weak. This team is the absolute opposite. Gritty and almost arrogant. I love it. I really think it starts with connor.

Cowan and Stevens are in the conversation as well.

Of course we all agree it should be Garza but I think we will have to finish top three in the B1G for him to get it and we still have opps for that, with Penn State and Michigan State on the horizon.
