Days like his happen....

not a dis on Archie as he giving it his all, with Brommer the jury is out if he comes back healthy and has improved will help, but in the end Meyer @ 6'10 and woodbury @ 7'1 will be a major upgrade @ the center position as far as height goes

Height and skills
 
Dude, Creighton is a very good team and likely will be in the Top 25 at some point. Mid Majors weakness is usually the undersized frontcourt, and/or a lack of athleticism all over the team. Those obviously aren't weaknesses on this Creighton team. Give them some credit for just being a lot more talented than Iowa today.

i am not questioning that they are a good team...I don't know diddly about them other than they have McDermott, don't take it the wrong way...if they are talented fine...relax.
 
One of those games, a slap in the face for certain, but simply one of those games, hopefully just one. Exposes the areas we Must work on to have a successful season. Creighton is a Very good team, and soundly defeated the Hawks as they will many other teams. We probably would not have gone undefeated the preconference games, and this is just One of the possible three losses.....
 
Oh God. The idiots from the football forum are migrating their way over to the basketball board.
 
Idk if any of you are the Ferentz haters but if you are....and think im abnoxious in my recent post game bball posts.....i hope you learn a lesson.

Hawkforce your are a d-bag troll and no one is biting. get a life or stick to your ISU forums....or better yet, take a spelling class in your free time. obnoxious.
 
IAJay, I have come to the conclusion that (1) we have a whole lot of young kids on this board (2) we have a bunch of immature cry babies or
(3) we have a very large combination of both and I am leaning towards the latter.

This team is young, teams do have days like this, this team will have more good days than bad, and if anyone expected anything close to perfection, then they set themselves up for the disappointment they are feeling right now.

Bring on the next opponent...Go Hawks!

So now we are all supposed to cope with this loss by telling ourselves, "Creighton is a great team"?!?!

Wow, we are going to struggle in the B1G.
 
Iowa wont win a BIG game

How big of a loser do you have to be to be a cyclone fan and come over here and make an account and troll around.

You're probably one of those "occupy" protesters that sit around and don't do ****.

You're a loser man, get a life
 
You can't judge a basketball team in one game. I think we played about as bad as we can. We did not do much of anything well. If we have a string of bad games, then we have reason for concern. I want to see progress and I think we will. I don't know if we will win 14 or 20. I'm just looking forward to the next game!
 
I think this game runs deeper than just "days like this happen." Watched the game in person. We got out-hustled; out-rebounded; out-shot ... and about out-everything. I understand this is a rebuilding process. That being said ... this was not a 7-10 point loss. Creighton embarrassed Iowa on the court today and I think that is the head scratcher. They came close to having a 40-point lead ... It looked like a Final 4 team playing a junior college team.
 
Iowa shot 36% to Creighton's 55%. From 3 Iowa 33% to Creighton's 47%. Iowa 27 rebounds to Creighton's 43. That's a recipe for a blow out. I'm guessing the rebound advantage was in large part because we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
 
basketball is very different from football in the days like this happen. unc is going to be great but they will have an off day and lose and they are the best team. creighton will be in the ncaa tourney and the good mid majors are nothing to scoff at. iowa shot poorly and compounded it by then forcing bad shots. also creighton shot lights out. it happens. iowa will be better than they were but remember they are still very young and will make mistakes like this.
 
Oh God. The idiots from the football forum are migrating their way over to the basketball board.

Man, no fooling. The idiocy is amazing.

We had a bad day. Creighton is a good team and shot 60%.

$hit happens. It's a long season.
