UNI Beats Iowa State 60-54.

[ForeverHawk]

So much for the Clones being 16-0 going into the Kansas game. Maybe 15-1???

Who said they were going to be? Whoever it was must be certifiably insane.

 

[ajk4st8]

haha ... Most of us predicted about 13-14 wins total before the season.

I hope you didnt watch the game. It was ugly. There is some horrible basketball being played in the state of Iowa this winter.

From the RPI thread. I think everybody knew UNI would be tough on the road!

Your kidding right? I know you didn't say it but remember posting this:

That would be closer to reality, but they clearly have us at 16-0 going into the Kansas game. Insanity.

Are you crazy??? We are excited and Iowa is 3-4! Seriously!

Thanks HawkeyeScott, I didn't want to have to cut and paste. He did say that was insanity!

Oh, yeah. I thought you meant Cyclone fans were saying that.

Unfortunately, we had a bunch of fans thinking we would roll UNI on the road, which was crazy talk. It was a winnable game, but when it's all said and done, it's tough to win on the road.

UNI should be pretty tough again this year. Not like last year, but they should be decent!

I'm not so sure. They didn't look very good on offense. They'll be decent at home, but that's about it.

I think you guys will take them at CHA.

I agree with you that they might struggle. I dont see where the points are going to come from on a consistent basis. They go long stretches without scoring

I think the key for you guys will be Cartwright being able (or not able) to keep Ahelgbe in front of him. I can also see your bigs having trouble with Jake Koch, as he likes to pull them outside and hit the three.

I have not seen them play, nor did I see the game tonight. I think any of the in-state games are winnable for Iowa, it's just a matter if they can put 40 minutes together. The Hawks could win them all or lose them all???

I think you're right. As crazy as it might sound, Iowa could very well be the "state champ" this year.

You are damn lucky you didn't see the game tonight. It was a grinding, boring, game...just what UNI needed to do to win. Plus, the Panther Network was beyond crappy.

I watched the game...and I finally just got my eyes to stop bleeding.

It was really bad. As a Cyclone fan, I would have rather been trapped in an elevator with Mac McCausland, Chris Kingsbury, and Jacob Jaacks.

As crappy as WOI?

 

[CyChamp]

As crappy as WOI?

I'm out-of-state, so just watch on Full Court. Is WOI the same as Mediacom 22 or whatever that is? That's bad, too.

This was much worse than anything I've seen. It started out off-the-air, came on black and white for a few minutes, then was washed-out bright off and on. And the commentators weren't good either. Horrible production.

 

[tm3308]

I'm not counting UNI as a win, even at home (I think we might see a pretty good crowd for that one). Until proven otherwise, UNI is the best team in the state, and I'll favor them against both us and Drake.

 

[spliff45]

I thought it was far worse than WOI. At least with them, you could kind of count on the games starting on time and not be subjected to a delay due to technical difficulty. I wasn't fond of the slap chop commercial they replayed a few times. Although, the show Coach did start and ironically enough Minnesota State was getting ready to play Iowa.
