Classic Iowa BB Games

[nickhawk]

The BTN definitely needs to broadcast some more classic Big 10 games -

What are some classic Iowa BB games that you would like to see re-broadcast?

I would love to see any of the 86-87 games against Purdue, Indiana or Illinois as well as the two Hawk victories over Michigan and MSU after Chris Street's tragic death.

I would also love to see the 1st round NCAA tourney game where the Hawks came from 19 down to beat George Washington.

What are some other classics?

I wouldn't mind seeing that B1G tourney game where we beat Indiana on Reckers fall away jumper.

...as well as the two Hawk victories over Michigan and MSU after Chris Street's tragic death.

Probably my two favorite games of all time. The MSU game was shown a couple of years ago. It was actually available on Hulu for a while.

There was also a 20+ point comeback to beat Illinois one season, but I can't recall which off the top of my head. I remember watching it as a kid though.

Anything that doesn't involve UNLV or Pembroke Burrows.

One of my favorite games was the MSU game at Carver when Dre hit a baseline jumper at the end to win it. Kingsbury drilled some bombs that game. And even though he played for the wrong team, Respert was a lot of fun to watch as well.
I'd also to love to see the game against Kansas where we ended their home court winning streak.

Oooh that's a good one. Illinois had a little guard by the name of Wysinger or something like that and he was lighting us up in the first half. If I recall right, that was the first game after we had received the #1 ranking as well.

That week after Chris Street died. Those games were the most emotional i've ever seen.

Was it Alfords first game when we upset UCONN?

 

[okeefe4prez]

That one time back when Alford was coach and Iowa beat Northern Iowa.

That one time back when Alford was coach and Iowa beat Northern Iowa.

That happened 5 times so you will have to get more specific. It has also happened 3 times since Alford as been coach, twice under Lick and last year under Fran.

Iowa vs. Georgetown 1980 Elite Eight. I was too young to remember this game, but I've heard enough about it from my Dad.

Highlights are about halfway down the page.

Yeah that one was pretty awesome! Didn't he hit one the game before too?

Iowa beating North Carolina in Chapel Hill, and following it up (the next year?) with a win against the Heels in Carver.
