Turns out Nova whipped the Canes just as bad.

Nova is on a roll.

They keep this up nobody is touching them

Weird that we played the team on a roll in the 2nd round. Has that ever happened to iowa before?

I think of a team that rhymes with puke a couple of times.

...let the black ribbon handouts begin....

Nova played some of the best defense I have seen all season last Sunday. If they continue to shoot well, they might just be the team to beat.

 

[DJL]

I wouldn't say just as bad, they were up on us over 30 and then stopped playing. Impressive none the less. They are a great team right now

I didn't get to see the game other than a few minutes early in the game but in that short time diarchiano or whatever his name is hit two impossible shots, one was an and one and he also forced a steal that lead to him getting fouled and hit the two free throws.

Man I just like that kids game.

I think he meant and was talking about Gonzaga last year....

Nova seems to be on a mission. Makes me feel a BIT better about the loss (not much) I guess.

Seems we've been getting teams in the 2nd round who are branded with the "they can't get past the 2nd round" tag and are playing with a chip on their shoulders. The Zags last year.

Would be nice if Iowa was the "buzz saw" every once in a while, though.

See almost every year Iowa has made the dance since 1989. It's not because we played poorly those years but that the other teams were just on rolls.

 

[mrolympia]

well, doesn't exactly make anybody feel better on this site and it didn't change the fact that Iowa didn't play defense that entire game

I think it was just as bad. Miami hit a 3 or 4 minute spurt where they made 7 out of 8 shots and got within 6 late in the 1st half. Take away that brief burst and they were never a factor in this game...and probably would have been behind by 30 early.

I think the winner of the Villanova vs. Kansas game is the favorite. Kansas opened -3 and is currently -2.5. Villanova is still 7/1 to win the national championship. The four 1 seeds and Oklahoma have lower odds. I'm happy to be holding a ticket at 25/1 the way they are playing.

 

[HawkGold]

Ummm, the Caneswere within striking distance at half. Is there a 6 point shot?

 

[HaydenHawk56]

Iowa lost to an official final 4 team now.

 

[WestCoastHawk]

Feeling (slightly) better. Villanova is looking tough

 

[hawkdrummer1]

so we're reduced to feeling better about out team because of who they lost to?

wow....

really...

I never felt bad about my team.
