Payback Time...Official Iowa Vs Rutgers BTT Game Thread

[Northside Hawk]

Going from teams begging Connor to shoot to now Connor being red hot from three has been a huge part of Iowa's surge.

He sort of had off-season surgery that not only messed up his off-season but probably slowed the first half of this season.

Perkins was quietly dealing with a shoulder issue that held him back as well.

Satellite radio announcers praising Joe T for bringing energy when he came in. I seem to recall he was one of the few to play well against Rutgers in the earlier slog fest as well.

How high of a seed can Iowa get if they win the tourney? 4 seed?

They would have to be considered despite their losses

Kudos to Fran, still say Pod Fran , for a quicker adjustment and us not getting down more and it being a closer game at the half. Recognizing the need for speed and JBo doesn't have the speed or handle and was not effective as well as Pmac where Sandfort is getting rebounds and is more effective in the half court. Recognizing the matchups and changing up the "D".


Also, who didn't see Illinois losing the way Indiana had been playing?

I posted in two threads that Indiana was going to knock them out. One yesterday and one this morning. @RobHowe can verify.

25/27 FTs wow!
Rutgers with only four turn overs....impressive.

We bow to your prognostication skills.

I hope Rutgers continues to try and run with Iowa because they are going to get run out of the gym.

Rutgers dominated early because the game that was at their pace. When Iowa sped them up the eight point lead evaporated in a hurry and them some.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Wow, that assistant coach really hurt his team

Of course he eventually got bounced.

According to satellite radio his name was David van Dyke and he was the strength and conditioning coach. If that was the same David van Dyke that played for UTEP in the early 90's that would be like Marilyn Manson hosting the 700 club. Van Dyke was like 6 foot 10 and less than 200 lbs.

Who? Conner? Really? Had not noticed…

Yeah, Connor is adept at getting under the skin and into the heads of the opponents

He has been doing it his entire career at Iowa

He was a master of giving a little nudge/push away from the zebra's view

Making little comments, on a constant basis

Blind squirrels always find an acorn once in a while.

If I ever bet on sports I would have no wife kids or house.

Nice

He’s going to play a HUGE roll next year. It will be the Kris and Tony show.

Kris, Tony and Peyton.

The only other game that will matter is the next one. The brackets will be set before Sunday's game is over.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Handshake line should be fun.

Glad it wasn't. Can't afford to have any players suspended for tomorrow.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Already passed the eye test but now officially better than last years for wins and BTT wins. Congrats to Fran for more than one BTT win this year. The monkey is off the back.

Yeah, it sort of feels like tomorrow is now house money.

Until the game starts anyway.

Is he related to Dick Van Dyke?

Don Haskins last recruited a white player around the time JFK was in office. So highly unlikely LOL

Not him I don't think...

Hint: David Van Dyke of UTEP is not the white guy. DVD is #52
