Iowa opponents in action today

[Tkingpin]

bcl20 - there was a gambling scandal and 3 of their players were dismissed from the team a couple of weeks ago. One of them was their leading scorer. Sorry, I don't recall how big of a role the other 2 players had on the team.

Still - they were gutted. rightfully so. I will google it and see if I can't link to an artilcle.

I know. They are 4-1 since they were booted I suppose, though, if we have to rely on UTEP's record we suck.

Our non conference keeps looking worse every day they play. Xavier might end up helping us.

 

[bcl20]

Outside chance that Omaha ends up being our second best win.

They play at North Dakota State tonight, it would be a nice boost if they win.

Unless a monster break down is in order, Fairleigh Dickinson wins. They are up by 22 with 5:00 to go.

Final score was 89-67.

 

[HawksMN]

Also, no reason to fear a confident Minnesota team coming to Caver. We're the type of team that doesn't need to fear anyone, especially at home.

Ultimately...this.

UNO down 19 with 10 minutes left.

Thanks, I forgot about them. UTEP just took the lead with 10 to go

I wouldn't count on UTEP winning anymore games, any time soon.
Drake has really gone in the tank since they lost their starting guard.
I just don't think we will have to worry about the RPI this year when it comes to tournament selection time. At least I sure hope not!

1) Hold serve at home (+7 )
2) beat the teams we are supposed to beat on the road (NW, Illinois & Penn St) (+3)
3) Try to get another road win or 2 against the rest of the Top6 (Michigan, MSU, Minnesota and Indiana) (+2)
4) That gets us to 26 - 5. Then win the BTT and we will be a 2 seed at the worst.

UTEP won. 63-54

UNO lost

Minn is tied with OSU at half

OSU still isn't clicking. Ross only one playing. Goofs have a ton of turnovers. Crappy looking game all around.

Pitino threw his jacket.

Carl Spackler approves of the T. Gopher throwing jacketcong.

Ice went everywhere.

If Minny wins at home, wait for people to say how little our win last weekend means. Wait for it. Wait for it.
