Official Michigan @ Iowa game thread

[HaydenHawk56]

This is a big game tonight for Iowa. They win this game, barring a complete collapse, they are essentially in the Big Dance. They would only need to beat 2 more teams in the regular season (with a high chance of beating Northwestern for one of them). Beat Northwestern and split either the MSU or @Nebraska game and that would do it. Going to be hard to win on the road at Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio St.....any of those wins would be unexpected and a serious boost. If Iowa still needed a win somewhere, they could do that be winning one game in the BTT.

Lose tonight and they make things much harder on them. Not impossible to still get in to the Big Dance, but, I think, the @Nebraska and Michigan St games will need to be wins along with winning one game at either Illinois, Ohio St, Michigan....or one game in the BTT. This is also assuming a win over Northwestern.

I suppose there is always the chance of making the play-in game with 19 wins, but I would not want to leave that to chance....especially if they have zero quality Quad 1 wins.

Go Hawks!

Hawks expand their diet to cute furry wolverines. Good guys win, our outside shot comes to our rescue (I hope, dammit) but I bet we have some issues with Mr. Dickenson on the inside.

Lose tonight and they could still beat MSU, NU and Northwestern. Tonight's a huge game, but there are plenty of W's left on the schedule. If they don't win 3-4 down the stretch, they won't belong in the dance, yet will still likely have an outside shot in the BTT with a run.

Might be a good idea to use Ogy and Riley

Ten Hard Fouls on the Big Bastard

It's All Good, Lads

 

[thedukeofearl]

They better call the fouls when they are slamming Keegan

And no touch fouls on him

Evil MFers

 

[thedukeofearl]

Inguardable is the key word for Keegan

 

[trj]

keegan's 3 pt. shot is the only iffy part of his game

 

[thedukeofearl]

Sily foul, Keegan

Put Kris in instead of Rebraca

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Iowa shooting red hot!

 

[trj]

damn it who does Pmac remind me of

 

[thedukeofearl]

Swett floor pass from Rebraca

 

[thedukeofearl]

Wake up, Hawks

Turning the announcer off

Leave Rebraca in, Fran

 

[thedukeofearl]

Bohannon was fouled

The Rutgers Ahone Zebra calls over and back

Why would that punk be doing this game

 

[thedukeofearl]

I will keep track of the game-changing call from the zebras

The ticky-tacky foul on Keegan

The no-call on JBo getting knocked to the floor and the subsequent over and back

 

[thedukeofearl]

I am a little behind in this game

Fran, put Kris in NOW

Announcers are turned off

 

[trj]

you may need JoeT to push tempo here

 

[thedukeofearl]

Give the rock to my man, Rebraca

Keep this team on the floor

Scoring Machines, I say

 

[trj]

keegan have 2 fouls?

 

[trj]

[HaydenHawk56]

Nice efficient stretch to reclaim the lead.
