The early official game thread for Sunday's Main Event: Iowa vs Purdue for the Big Ten Tournament Championship

[trj]

Did someone tell Keady where he is and what happened yet?

lol, too funny.

 

[HuckFinn]

These guys basically refuse to get beat.

 

[dahlhawk]

No, it sucks to miss the speeches and net cutting.

Fran made some very unconventional moves today

Ogy and Riley in the first half, worked very well

Connor for the Home Run Pass

Perhaps Coach of the Year

Considering what we lost from last season

Outstanding Job, Fran

 

[Dadman]

I love this shot lol

I like Painter, but i Love this look more!

Fran's distribution of minutes in the first half won this game.

We needed absolutely everyone.

 

[dahlhawk]

Nope Fran isn’t coach of the year or Keegan POTY, that’s ok being MVP and Big Ten Tournament champions kinda softens the blow, LOL

 

[trj]

Anyone knowing this win qualifies as a quad 1?

Anyone know if Purdue is ten points better than us as well?

with defensive efficency numbers in the 100's...F no are they 10 points better.

moving Jbo to the point and sliding Perk to the starting 2 changed everything. the way he managed this roster was excellent.

Winning on Purdue’s basically home court takes a little of the sting off losing in football.

Iowa is team of the year and we needed everyone today.

Can we get up to a 4 seed?

Move of the year, the move of JBo was expected but Perkins was a revelation.

Can we get up to a 4 seed?

doubt it. the committee probably tapped out before the game even started.

 

[Glass1/2fullguy]

Yeah that looked very good at the end of the game

Complete disbelief

I do like Matt Painter

Good gracious man

Like painter said, “we haven’t really had to play against Keegan this year”

 

[dahlhawk]

Watch out America, an Iowa team that plays Defense.

Like that Fran kept Keegan away from foul trouble and on the perimeter except to double.

 

[ssckelley]

I’m still stoked!

In heaven there is no beer…..
