Tennessee vs. UMass

[wuppup]

Tennessee up early. Winner gets Mercer. This could have been Iowa's run to the Sweet 16.

First thing I thought when I saw Duke went down…..facepalm!

If Iowa got out of their own head they could have made a sweet 16 run from just about anywhere.

What's even worse is that in all likelihood we would have played Michigan for a trip to the Elite 8. I would have liked our chances very much in that matchup...

 

[uihawk82]

Yep, too bad, the hawks needed a few to go in all year

Texas will give Michigan a tough game. Texas reminds me of a poor man's MSU.

"I see" said the blind man to his deaf son as the walked off the cliff together.

Was Tennessee unhealthy part of the year? How in the world did they lose to Utep. The team that had players betting on games... And iowa beat by more than 30.

 

[HawksMN]

Oh Iowa, oh Iowa. TN isn't all that really, and they are handling UMass.
Why Iowa, why?

 

[hawkeyewx]

This is hard to watch.

 

[HawksMN]

Is Umass that bad? I didn't think TN was a powerhouse or anything....

Stokes is pretty hard to stop. Since their defense stepped up they became the team all their fans thought they were suppose to be to start the year. I wonder even if they could compete against MSU the way theyre playing right now.

Umass is playing some weak d. And making poor decisions on offense. But yes, theyre over seeded.

 

[biasedHAWKEYE]

Makes the loss that much worse.

Iowa could have made the sweet 16 without even playing amazingly had they held on against Tennessee.

ugh.

I think we proved how good we are when not playing amazingly.

Its a Cuonzo thing. He always pulls off inexplicable losses in the non conference schedule before he starts to figure out what to do with his team. Also, for those of you who question Fran's judgment with substitutions, some of Martin's bizarre personnel decisions would make your heads spin (McRae was almost SEC player of the year last year after he didn't start a game until December).

 

[kicker22]

Maybe I'm crazy, but I was very impressed with Tenn's defense the majortiy of the game. Possibly one of the best we played this season in my opinion. Also think that Stokes is a absolute beast. Was impressed with Tenn and I think they deserve the success of the late season run and will be a tough team to eliminate.

 

[IowaFan81]

Only 4 fouls on TN in the first half again today. Is this the same officiating crew? At least they've only called 5 on UMASS. Not their whole front line in foul trouble after 20 minutes.

 

[1hawkeye1]

Iowa couldn't beat a drum as messed up in the head as they are now.
