1.Why you wanna break my heart? Can anyone remember being this excited for an Iowa basketball game? Can anyone remember wanting a win this bad? Even Mrs. Ghost was getting into this game. And then we go and lose? Damn. That hurt. And not in the usual "It hurts he got murdered by 20" kind of hurt...I'm used to that. It's the "We freaking blew it" kind of hurt. It has been a while.
2.Will the real Evan Turner please stand up Has anyone had a quieter almost triple double than this guy did last night? He was just plain off his game last night, especially in the first half. And I don't give all of the credit to the Iowa defense for shutting him down, because he had Bawinkle guarding him a few times, and he still couldn't finish. However, he was able to flip the switch and single handedly destroy us at the end. I am still debating with myself whether or not he took most of the game off because it is Iowa, and he didn't feel like trying until he had to.
3.Don't call it a comeback, the jump pass has been here for years By my count, Cully Payne tried to jump pass roughly 700 times that game. I did not keep track of how often it worked, because everytime he did it, I went blind with rage for a few seconds. This is the second time I have had to call you out for playing stupid Cully. I wish your coaches would do the same.
4.RESERVEoir Dogs Part II: Welcome to the Dog Pound Want to know my theory. Iowa fell apart in the final 5 minutes because they were exhausted, particularly the guards. Our reserve guards played a combined 16 minutes that game combined. This is by far the least they have played in the last 4 games. Lick clearly doesn't trust l'il Lick or Bawinkle with the game close, so he rode his stallions of Payne, May, and Gatens as hard as he could. Unfortunatley, those stallions wore down, and didn't have it at the end, which allowed Even Turner, who I doubt broke a sweat until the 37th minute, to take over the game.
5.Immoral Behaviors Sorry, but I do not consider Wednesday to be a moral victory. I think the MSU game was a moral victory, but not this one. What is the difference? In the MSU game, we fought until the end, and made them work for their victory. In the OSU game, we handed them the victory. In my opinion, the avalanche started when we failed twice to inbound the ball while in our own end, and down by three. He give up an easy break away, and boom, we're out of it. I was impressed with the character of the team fighting back from a big deficit and making it a game in East Lansing. However, last night they played a 38 minutes game, and as far as I'm concerned, the final 2 minutes nearly over shadows the first 38.
6. Seriously, who the hell was that guy??? This is a non-basketball observation, but it is something that really got my goat. On the BTN broadcast, they kept showing this one guy. I think you all know what I am talking about. Everytime the crowd got into it, they wouldn't pan across the student section, or show the cheerleaders jumping, they showed a close up of some Asian guy with a flat top wearing a suit. Granted, that guy was really into it, but why did they show him over and over again? My working theory, is that he is one of the football players in attendance that I don't recognize. Is that what RIley Reiff looks like without a helmet?
