Can't dog crap 3 straight home games, right?

[Xerxes]

If we don't win this will we go into an OSU or Wisky free-fall?

9 days ago, Ohio St was dead in the water and losing at home to PSU. Many posters, myself included, were questioning if they would make in to the tournament. Now they've won 2 games in a row against ranked teams and are currently a 5 seed in bracketology many people follow and will be ranked again on Monday.

CBB seasons are a grind. Still have a long way to go. Iowa has been a little sloppy lately but things can change quickly and without warning.

Michigan will be down, we'll be up. Our intensity, tenacilty wins. Iowa 86 - Michigan 69. Back in top 10.

You're going to be wrong again, like you were wrong against OSU and MSU.

Nope.

The majority of college basketball teams have off nights, or off-stretches during a season. Especially in the B10 where so many teams are very good. It is all about the ability to flush the dog crap and move on. This is an important game not just for the fact that they need a win, but it could spring board the rest of the season. I'm optimistic and will believe that Iowa will win each game until that game is over.

Ditch the gold jerseys, please.

Well said. Couldn't agree more.

Yep, burn those ****ers

Ohio State is a much better team that what they were playing earlier in the year. As much as I hate Aaron Craft, he is going to make sure the team is playing well for his farewell tour. It seems like he has been on tour longer than Motley Crue.

Ohio State has consistently played good defense. There offense has been hit and miss...mostly miss. Craft and others played much better offensively Tuesday than they have maybe all season. If this continues moving forward they will not lose many games. If they were just having a good night then more losses are likely to come. I personally think they are just now finding their offensive identity and will be tough from this point forward.

Michigan is the best shooting team in the Big Ten, and Iowa is the second best shooting team. Whichever team plays the best defense, limits dumb mistakes, hits the boards, and chases down the ball when it's up for grabs will win this war.

We will see how bad the Hawks want to finish season on a high note by how they play this Saturday.

You sure spoiled this thread with such an intelligent reply. D*** you!

I think we've already seen just how little they care during the last two home games.

THIS! This is what Iowa's lacking right now. No leadership from their best player and a senior. Love to have a Matt Gatens or Jaryd Cole type leadership guy on the team right now. Hopefully Dev gets with it.

Iowa is not the second best shooting team unless you are including the layup we get of transition.

As far as spot shooting, Iowa is in the lower half of the Big.

Since teams have figured out how to get Iowa into half court sets, I would think we will need better shooting and alot of made free throws to overcome Mich shooting. Let hope they have an off night.

Not true. Iowa is 11th in made 3 point FGs but 4th in 3 point percentage and 2nd in total FG percentage. Not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
