The official early bring your war paint because someone is getting out of the basement game thread

Every single one of us love Iowa Basketball. Otherwise you wouldn’t be posting on here. This season sucks obviously. What we all need to do is forget about everything that’s happened so far and just watch every game with an open mind and hope to see some improvements from anyone on this roster. Hopefully they can give some sort of pulse the next few months and give us a reason to watch the Big 10 Tournament and maybe play spoiler for once to someone else. Then move forward to next year with a hungry mindset.

I’m calling some positivity starts tonight. Iowa wins 80-77 in a ugly but exciting game. Fran will have them ready tonight

I had a good feeling about the Maryland game. I've got a bad feeling about this one. If we have 5 subs on the floor at the 14 minute mark, I seriously might shut off the tv.

The first round of subs seem to be the kiss of death, PC.....

It does not go well to have 5 nonscorers on the floor at once.....

Wonder if we should leave the starters in a bit longer, depending on the foul situation and how they are playing together.....

The good news is they are the second worst offensive team in the conference. The bad news is we're the worst defensive team in the conference. I don't feel good about this one.

My response to this season...

Why.....Yes

Bombay Sapphire Gin and Tonic for me tonight, starting with the tipoff.....

Illinois with the flu and Iowa with a severe case of slowness. Which disease wins?

 

[thedukeofearl]

Some 8.2 PPG 1.8 RPG Illinois average dude is due to have a career game:

Say 27 pts (5-7 3FG) 11 Rebs ?

Seems to happen every time against the Hawks

Remember one time the buckeyes had a football player on the basketball team, Dudley, I believe. He had made one free throw the entire season. Nine of ten against the Hawks.....

Too many examples to list. Curse for the Hawks, bonus for the opponents.....

Toss up

Perhaps if Fran would join me for a pre game cocktail, he might be a bit more chill during the game. It works for me. Then again, Fran may need a bottle just to himself.

I like the tweet Black Heart Gold Pants put out: Pillow Fight to Crown the Worst Team in The Conference. Seems about right.

Illinois arena always seems so dark

Depressing place to play

Right up there with Williams for ambiance

Ok, game about to begin. Just remember, we all chose to watch this crap.

Happened against my daughters HS team last night. Girl hadnt had a 3 all season. Made 3 against us and we lost by 3.

Tyler Cook makes the opening hoop. Tim Brando says it was Moss.

We got the last place Play-by-Play announcer too.

Illinois will be all over JBo tonight.

I like Bardo.

 

[thedukeofearl]

I do like that move by Tyler

He has been developing that since the PTL

Just need him to play without fouling early

 

[Robowe]

Desperation shot by Illinois to beat shot clock. Get offensive rebound and score.
