Something To Consider Regarding IU Game Today.....





Don't forget IU's less than stellar SOS so far. If only there was someone that could break it down for us.
 











Maybe it's a good thing Iowa only allows 34.4% of 3 pointers made against them then?;-) Pretty much middle of the pack in D1, but I had to throw a stat in there.

Additionally, I think IU has only played 4 teams with a record better than .500. Iowa has played more teams above .500 to date. Is IU the better team.....sure. Can Iowa win.....sure. Will playing at CHA help Iowa....sure. Has IU lost 4 in a row at CHA....sure. Is Tom Crean a tool....sure(at least on the court.) I heard he may have recently tried to help a stranded driver in the snow.....sure. Could I do this all day......sure?

stats to date, per game average, esp helpful as there is no headings for what number means what. so, i'm taking it that this dude has the stats wrong because no way does the trashman only get 9 min per game when he's clearly the best big man we have.

Actually here's a better stat from Hawk Central:

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Indiana leads the Big Ten in 3-point shooting at 42.1 percent. Iowa leads the Big Ten in 3-point percentage defense at 27.8 percent.
 


This is Indiana's first true road game according to this ESPN article. Also, they have lost 4 consecutive games at CHA and they did not face a crowd in those losses like they will today in my opinion. Just a couple of things working in Iowa's favor! I am actually nervous for an Iowa BB game for the first time in a long time. Does that mean at least I am back?

And what is our big resume of road games, especially wins? We'll have a better idea of progress about 6pm.

then again there are those refs and layoffs....

But the question is are we back? And of course the answer is yes.

Plus that dude looks like he could be Bo Ryan's son or Jim Carey's stunt double for the grinch. What am I saying that is the same thing.
