Was glad to see the Illinois game go to OT. Would have rather played NW, especially with Vic Law out.

Iowa scores MORE points per game than Illinois. Iowa allows LESS points per game than Illinois. Yes, thats right. Illinois defense is actually worse than Iowa's.

Iowa wins. If they don't, at least these forums will be entertaining.
Based on the poll results about 46% of the people on here won’t be watching. But they will do 95% of the posting if Iowa loses.
 
Tonight both teams looked like crap. So that means Illinois who shot like crap tonight will hit 18 out of 21 shots from the three point line tomorrow against us. :eek: We have seen this crap all year. :( Hope I am wrong.
The upside is Illinois isn’t really interested in defense. So we could still win.

Lol, this appears to be a possibility.

Iowa 110
Illinois 109

Cook hits one of two free throws with time expired to avoid a triple overtime. :cool:
 
What makes Iowa's late season struggles even worse is that ISU seemingly every year they are in the post-season they rise to the occasion regardless of their seeding. Therefore, that fanbase and media rave about their program and further embarrass Iowa.
 
Dont think they have quit. They have highly exploitable weaknesses. IL has more.

Cook is injured.

Iowa wins.

UAB would argue that
