Hawkeye Elvis looks like his Do has a bit more bouffant

As does his belly.

Corn?

Good win. Bring on Purdue. That might get ugly

That NEEDS to be a literal slug-fest from the Hawks.

 

[Seth53]

The final score is not indicative of the struggle

 

[ssckelley]

They won, took care of business. I don’t care how ugly it looked.

In heaven there is no beer….

 

[thedukeofearl]

We are as flat as a CMac jumper.

Impossible

 

[Tippett]

end of the world must be near the Bengals are going to end up in the AFC championship game

Maybe not.

 

[Northside Hawk]

who is the best team in the B1G?

Right now it might be Sparty. That Northwestern loss may have woke them up.

Right now it might be Sparty. That Northwestern loss may have woke them up.

Even though Sparty beat them last week at home I am going to say Wisconsin. Johnny Davis makes them really, really special.

Sidenote: I was looking at the Net Rankings and I just realized Iowa doesn’t have a Q1 win. The only team in the NR top 25 that doesn’t. Looking at the remainder of Iowa’s schedule they have only 3 or 4 shots left at a Q1 win. I think they make the tournament, but they are going to get screwed in terms of seeding if they can’t “steal” 1 or 2 Q1 wins.

 

[thedukeofearl]

We have the only pt guard in the conference who passes up wide open 3s in rhythm and chucks it up as an afterthought.

Launch that missile, Commander

Launch it NOW

 

[thedukeofearl]

This board is as pathetic as our shooting today.

"Slugfest."

Currently, I am selling club memberships for $1.99

Today only and they are going like hotcakes

Can teams play themselves into Q1 or do they have to be Q1 when you play them? I honestly don't know the answer.

Good question. My answer would be they have to be Q1 when you play them.

A quick google search and I came up with the following: "Game date and game order are not included in the NET rankings so a team's first game counts the same as its 30th."

 

[ssckelley]

An opponents NET rankings will fluctuate so it’s not where they are ranked when you play them. Iowa’s win against Indiana could easily turn into a Quad 1 win.
