**********Officially Unofficial Iowa-CMU Game Official Thread**********

I think people are seriously underestimating how horrible CMU is. This was CMU's first game of the year under a new coach with a completely rebuilt roster (they lost their top 4 leading scorers from last year), and they were able to hang with a BoneG team on their own court for 30 minutes.

While I hesitate to call this game a disaster, it exposed a lot of holes in this team, many of which are correctable, a few of which are not.

I understand Ghost. I think people that believe Iowa is an NCAA tourney team this year are going to be disappointed. Iowa has a very poor schedule and this team just isn't there yet. NCAA tourney teams put these types of teams away. Have to keep expectations in check. I've been saying an 18-20 win team would be a positive. NIT bid again but do more damage. NCAA is a must next season though.

I have read on multiple occasion in this thread that teh hOx are just "working out the kinks". Well, the entire CMU team is one giant kink. They're moar kinky than Duffman's internet browsing history. Yet, they played consistent basketball moar than we did tonight.

They are bad, should be really bad but losing all your players from an 11 win team isn't exactly an awful thing.

I am concerned that we took so many jumpers though. Against a team that should be as bad as them, there is no reason that you should be able to get all the easy shots in the world. If it weren't for a hot streak of threes in the second half, it's even closer than the final.

My optimistic side says we are still young and need time to put it together.

S'alright tho. Bingo Davis' teams are known for the solid defense.
 
More optimism. Keno's teams are kind of gimmicky and we didn't have too much time to prepare. Our young team just got by surprise a little and they are ready to move forward and dominate.

Gimmicky? C'mon man. They didn't get tricked, they just couldn't make shots.

Fail.
Nothing is kinkier than that.

This game proven the beauty of depth. The bench came through big time with good efforts by Clemmons, May, and Basabe. When our starting 5 proved to be too slow against their guard dominated team, we put Gesell, Clemons, Marble, May, on the floor......depth gives Fran all sorts of lineup options.
