The Opening Tip: Iowa on Road for Midweek Tilt with Purdue

Well it’s about to all change. Time to start a different narrative for this series. Streaks are like rules, they can be broken.
 
Updated computer rankings after last night's games:

Iowa checks in at No. 22 in NET, 16 in Sagarin and 13 in Ken Pom.

Purdue comes in at 38, 28 and 29.

I can't remember which specific novel but in the GoT books, I'm pretty sure characters referred to a joust as a tilt. I'm guessing it may have come from there.

Jousting had been referred to as tilting long before George RR martin started writing. Don Quixote was tilting at windmills in a novel published in 1605.

Oh I was just citing where I read it. I know that Martin didn't coin the term.
