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

Iowa was 20overall so the last 5. Damn. Houston okay, maybe Uconn 50/50 flip a coin, but I don't think St. Mary's deserved a higher five than us. Probably just gave it to them just cause they could go in that slot against Indiana/Wyoming. Not complaining would rather be where we are than deal with UCLA and Baylor.

Forgot to cap this off. Iowa defeats those Giants from Purdue. Your Big Ten Tournament Champions: The Iowa Hawkeyes!
 
Best win win of the year. Just knocked off what a 3 seed basically?
On the road pretty much. Indiana and Purdue both had home court advantage fan wise. Also we played 4 games in 4 days compared to Purdues 3... So yeah this was big time impressive.

Take into account that this was not a thing of beauty. We shot bad for us and got out rebounded by a million BUT STILL FOUND A WAY TO WIN. Defense man who know we had that in us. JT TP Murray and even Rebracca battled his ass off. Josh O with some huge plays at both ends. CM made the shot of the game. His and 1 coming against Williams after Purdue had cut it to 1 and had all the momentum was everything.

We had like 13 steals and forced a ton of TOs (without turning it over much ourselves. I think we lead the league in steals as a team under rated stat. For this team to beat that team and win this tourny like that just takes Fran to a whole new level to me. He was pushing buttons that hadn't been pushed all yr and those guys battled and performed. How could I forget Sandfort. Dude was perfect and it goes without saying Murray did what he did.

Soak this in boys I came into this game thinking JBos shot the night before was gonna be our highlight of it all. I didn't see that happening but holy crap. Bring that trophy home where it belongs
